May our lives speak Lord!

Nehemiah 3:1 Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests, and they built the Sheep Gate. They consecrated it and set its doors. They consecrated it as far as the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Tower of Hananel.

The high priest is the first person mentioned who pitched in and helped with the work. Spiritual leaders must lead not only by word but also by action. May be the priests, who were in the highly esteemed position, being the mediator of God and men, could have avoided the work. But they were the first persons to pitch in. They didn’t just preach, they lived what they preached. 

Yes dear sisters, may be we are also serving as leaders, ministers in different areas. 
Are we living out what we are preaching? 
Jesus didn’t just preach about serving, He lived out as a servant; 
He didn’t just preach about loving the enemies, He loved the enemies on the cross. 

Lord, help us O Father that we will live, what we preach, what we write and what we share with others. May we be like Eliashib and the priests, may our lives speak louder than our words. May we not be known as a good preacher or a writer or a prayer warrior, but be known by our fruits and by our lives in Christ. 

Lord, you didn’t just taught us about serving but lived out as a servant, give us that privilege Lord, to live what we preach.  For we know Lord, not whoever calls you Lord, Lord but who does your will enters the Kingdom of Heaven. Not one who prophesies  nor who heals nor who drives out demons in your name but he who does your will enters the Kingdom of Heaven. 

May we who preach, may not be disqualified. May we remember those who teach will be judged with greater strictness. Help us to live worthy of the calling we received and May our lives speak Lord, in Jesus name we pray, Amen.
