many lives. Her life demonstrated a lifelong commitment to the
cause of Jesus Christ and an unfaltering trust in the Lord.

Likewise, we want to look at Nehemiah and see what did it takes for
the people to arise and build together. Then I said to them, “You see the

ii. I When I heard these things, I sat

t down and wept. For some days I
w mourned and fasted and prayed
before the God of heaven.

sight, let him send me to the city
a in Judah where my fathers are

iii. I So we rebuilt the wall till all of it

t reached half its height, for the
w people worked with all their
heart.
il Neh 4:6
l From that day on, half of my men
t did the work, while the other half
were equipped with spears,
a shields, bows and armor. The
k officers posted themselves
behind all the people of Judah 17
e who were building the wall. Those
a who carried materials did their
work with one hand and held a
n weapon in the other, 18 and each
e of the builders wore his sword at
his side as he worked. But the
n man who sounded the trumpet
d stayed with me.
Neh 4:16-18
u
r Neither I nor my brothers nor my
men nor the guards with me took
i off our clothes; each had his
n weapon, even when he went for
water.

The Church can only be strong if individual cell are strong. Individual
cell can only be strong if members are involved and committed. We
believe that this is the time for us to arise and build the church.

50 years ago, Sis. Lula Baird came and poured forth her life so that
you and I can enjoy salvation today. Will you be willing to pour forth
your life so that people 50 years from now can enjoy the fruits of
your life?
