[0:16] It is our prayer that this program will motivate, encourage, and enable you to do your part in reaching the world for Jesus Christ. I know you'd never want to be considered part of the cause that would cause the work of God to cease.
[0:32] I know you'd never want to be a part of the problem. I know that you want to be a part of the solution. But in Nehemiah chapter 4 and verses 10 and 11, we find some interesting things, three things that you should consider today.
[0:44] The Bible said, and Judah said, the strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish, so that we're not able to build the wall. And our adversaries said, they shall not know neither seed till we come in in the midst of them and slay them and cause the work to cease.
[1:01] I know that Satan wants to cause the work to cease, but I'm afraid that more than we would ever like to acknowledge or realize, it is the church of God and good Christian people that are causing the work of God to cease around the world.
[1:13] The Bible says in the book of Nehemiah that they were causing the work to cease. I want you to realize the first reason they caused the work to cease was the people were not keeping their strength. The Bible says the strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed.
[1:27] What happened was they got so busy in their everyday life. Don't you realize what's happening to you?
