THEME: STRENGTHENED IN THE MIDST OF OPPOSITION

TEXT: Nehemiah 4:2

“What are those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble—burned as they are?”

Beloved of Zion Congregation, Sanballat’s words were meant to mock, discourage, and weaken the resolve of God’s people. Opposition often speaks loudly when God’s work is progressing. As we continue the work God has entrusted to us as a congregation, this Scripture reminds us that ridicule and doubt are signs that the assignment matters.

The work of God at Zion may appear small or weak to critics, but it carries divine strength. When God is involved, even burned stones can rise again. What others call impossible, God calls purposeful. Let the voice of faith within Zion Congregation be louder than every voice of mockery.

People of God (Zion Congregation):

1. Expect opposition as we advance God’s work together.

2. Do not internalize discouraging words spoken against Zion.

3. Remember: God specializes in restoring what looks ruined.

4. Stay focused on the vision, not the critics.

5. Let prayer, unity, and perseverance silence ridicule.

Prayer:

Lord, strengthen Zion Congregation when opposition arises. Help us to trust Your power even when others doubt the work You have called us to do. Renew our courage and enable us to finish what You have started among us. Amen.

The Paramount Chief of Asante Mampong (Mamponghene), Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, is reportedly dead. According to a report by myjoyonline.com, the Mampong Traditional Council and the Bretuo Dynasty have officially informed the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, of the death of Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, at the Manhyia Palace. There had been unconfirmed reports of the death of the paramount chief over the past few days. The official announcement of his death to the Asantehene is in line with Asante tradition and marks the end of an era for one of the most respected traditional leaders in the country. Daasebre Osei Bonsu II died at the age of 86 years. He recently made headlines when he issued an ultimatum to some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in his traditional area to apologise for saying “no Asante will be allowed to become MCE of Mampong.” Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, known in private life as Saint Oswald Gyimah-Kessie, was born on December 31, 1939. He was a lawyer and an eco...

HOLDING ONTO HOPE AND FAITH

  Some days are hard, some days are harder, and some days are worst. 😩 But as long as you have life and haven't given up, there's hope.  And when there's hope, there's faith, and when there's faith in God, there's possibility. 🙏 As the Bible says, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13 ❤ And in Jeremiah 29:11, it's written, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 🌟 So, even when it seems like there's no hope and no possibility, God can still show His wonder. If you trust Him and wait patiently, things will work out. Maybe not today, tomorrow, or the next day, but one day it will happen, and you'll give thanks to Him. 🙏 As you wait, remember to wait in prayer and live a life that honors God. 🙏 Try your best to avoid sin and walk in righteousness . ✝ God is faithf...
