Spiritual Warfare: Strategies Nehemiah

Meet young Nehemiah…..

What did Nehemiah do when he faced GIANTS?

Nehemiah’s warfare strategies Strategies of Nehemiah on this side: He took up the work of God (Neh. 2:6-9) The ploys of his enemies on this side: They ridiculed him (Neh. 2:19)

He prayed, acknowledging God’s sovereignty And noting the illegitimacy of his enemies (Neh.2:20) They mocked him (Neh. 4:1-2)

Nehemiah on his knees before Yahweh

He prayed, asking God to take note of his reproach and to refuse to forgive his enemies (Neh. 4:4-5) They conspired to attack and create confusion (Neh. 4:7-8)

The GIANT prepares for wrath against Nehemiah

He prayed and set a watch (Neh. 4:9) taking Necessary precautions (Neh. 4:13) reminding People to fight for their families (Neh. 4:14) They used oppression from within, the fruit of their own unrighteousness (Neh. 5:1-5)

He led people to confess, repent, and make Restitution (Neh. 5:1-19) They plotted to harm the leader (Neh. 6:1-2)

He showed singlemindedness (Neh. 6:3) They created a distraction (Neh. 6:4) And circulated slander to create fear (Neh. 6:5-7)

Nehemiah consecrating his will singlemindedly to God’s

He refused to slander (Neh. 6:8) and prayed For strength (Neh. 6:9) They developed an insider plot to discredit the leader (Neh. 6:10)

He modeled righteousness (Neh. 6:11) received God’s discernment (Neh. 6:12) and prayed asking God to remember them (Neh. 6:14) They used covert connections as Tobiah sent letters to frighten Nehemiah and desensitize the people (Neh. 6:19)

He suggested precautions for protecting the gates (Neh. 7:3) They established insider alliances; Eliashib gave room to Tobiah (Neh. 13:4-5)

He expelled the household goods of the enemy (Neh. 13:8) They continued acts of unrighteousness (Neh. 13:10,15,16)

……..unrighteousness……..

He contended with unrighteousness (Neh. 13:11,17,25,28) They used compromise, especially in intermarriage (Neh. 13:23-25)

What does this mean to us? Spiritual warfare begins when the enemy (Satan) perceives that someone is trying to seek God’s purposes or to protect the wellbeing of God’s people. Nehemiah drew the attention of his enemies, Sanballat and Tobiah, who were “deeply disturbed” when he began the work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. They employed a variety of strategies to divert Nehemiah from his task. These strategies of the enemy have been used through the generations, even until now. Nehemiah’s counterstrategies helped him to persevere and to finish his task. © The Woman’s Study Bible NKJV By Nelson publishers
