*Ezra 4:23 MSG*
The letter of King Artaxerxes was read to Rehum and Shimshai the secretary and their associates. They lost no time. They went to the Jews in Jerusalem and made them quit work.
*Ezra 4:24 MSG*
That put a stop to the work on The
Temple of God in Jerusalem. Nothing more was done until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

This paints a graphic pix of what some are currently experiencing.
๐ช๐ปThe powers that be said NO, and everything came to a standstill.
๐๐ผMarriage plans on hold.
๐๐ผ
Projects abruptly stopped..
๐๐ผShops locked.
๐๐ผEverything is now on hold.๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Now, Back up to *V23*
*It said* , "They lost no time. They went to the Jews in Jerusalem and *made them quit work* "
๐๐ผ
It's the way of the ANTAGONISTS. They are opportunists and opportunistic...but,
here is what God is saying to you today in...
*Ezra 6:14 MSG*
So the leaders of the Jews continued to build; the work went well under the preaching of the prophets Haggai and Zechariah son of Iddo. *They completed the rebuilding under orders of the God of Israel* and
authorization by Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxexes, kings of Persia.
๐๐ผ
"They completed the rebuilding under orders of the God of Israel..."
*God says,
๐๐ผGo ahead from where you stopped.
๐๐ผGo ahead from where you were stopped.
๐๐ผRejig that marriage plans.
๐๐ผReopen that shop again.
๐๐ผ
Restart that project again.

And to all who said, you would only "restart" over their dead-bodies, FINE....they won't die...God will make them be as still as stone while you finish in an astounding way, in Jesus name๐๐ผ *IT'S GOD'S COMMAND...NO DULLING* @threadreaderapp unroll

Letโs go down to the Jordan River, where there are plenty of logs. There we can build a new place for us to meet.โโAll right,โ he told them, โgo ahead.โ

A Detroit newspaper reportd that a patient in a local hospital was shot and killed as he lay in his bed recovering from a previous gunshot wound. The victim had been listed in fair condition prior to the shooting and was looking forward to
going home. Hospital patients and employees were stunned. A spokesperson said that nothing like this had happened in the 50yrs of the hospital's existence.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could say the same for our churches and relationships?
Wouldn't it be encouraging if we
were able to say that in 50yrs of meeting together for worship, fellowship and spiritual healing, we had not had a single instance of a wounded member being cut down by the unkindness of a fellow Christian?
Many among us have experienced the pain that David expressed in
Psalms 102v13b TPT
โthe appointed time has come for your prophetic promises to be fulfilled!
Get ready, make room, let your expectations hit the rooftop. Those prophetic promises you entered the New Year with, is about to unfold.
It's your time and your turn for that
O.B.B (One Big Break) you've been longing for.
All you need is a platform.
All you need is just that single connection, that phonecall, that email.
David got just one platform to showcase the hand of God upon his life & boom, he became the talk of the town.
Let the scripture
below sink in;๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
1 Samuel 18:30 MSG
Whenever the Philistine warlords came out to battle, David was there to meet them - and beat them, upstaging Saul's men. David's name was on everyone's lips.
It's not possible...
No "Nau," It can't be him/her
He/she lacks the requisite qualifications..
How come? He/she is just an ordinary fellow...who does he/she know?
That's what "SEE FINISH" causes
1 Samuel 10:11 MSG
When those who had previously known Saul
saw him prophesying with the prophets, they were totally surprised. "What's going on here? What's come over the son of Kish? How on earth did Saul get to be a prophet?"
What they never thought you could attain unto,
What good they never imagined Could befall you,
What blessings
they never thought could be yours, God will make it happen for you.
He hasn't changed. He still makes stuffs happen for the "underdogs"
Psalms 77:14 MSG
You're the God who makes things happen; you showed everyone what you can do -
*Genesis 49:24 MSG*
But he held steady under fire, his bow firm, his arms limber, With the backing of the Champion of Jacob, the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.
๐๐ผ
Joseph held steady under fire...he did not buckle or throw in the towel because of overwhelming
circumstances.
๐๐ผHis family was against him.
๐๐ผHis employer was against him...he had no where to run๐๐ผโโ๏ธ, but, he had the backing of the champion of Israel, the El-Shadai Himself.โ๏ธ
Inspite of what you are going through, you have God's backing.โ๏ธ
You may not see or feel it,
but, He is there with you.๐ข
Because, you have His backing...

๐๐ผYou will not lose that long standing war.
๐๐ผYou will not lose that battle with unproductivity, barrenness, lack.
๐๐ผYou will surely win because, God has turned the
