Nehemiah 5 - 7

Brothers and Sisters,

In Acts 6 when a problem arose in the new church regarding the distribution of food to the widows, the Apostles delegated the task of distribution to seven selected men by the congregation. The criteria of selection was simple but profound. The   people had to choose seven men from among themselves who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom.

Great leaders in the Bible are always people full of the Spirit and wisdom. In Nehemiah 7:2, Nehemiah said, " I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah the commander of the citadel, because he was a man of integrity and feared God more than most people do." Should we ask less from our leaders? Administrative tasks can always be delegated, but integrity and fear of God cannot be delegated. .

Nehemiah 5 -7

May the Lord richly bless you!
