With humility, Nehemiah weeps to align himself with God's purpose; he daringly risks his privileged life to do what is right. He discerns sad truths and hidden possibilities; motivates and equips the people for good work. Finally he guards the boundaries of faith against all enemies within and without. Nehemiah is no more program manager or property administrator. He grows leaders. He takes initiative, but shares authority. He counts himself amoung the servants. Leaders are just cupbearers. The art is in knowing how the cup is to be filled, and to whom it should be carried.ysmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03513458670309708765noreply@blogger.com
