            *START AGAIN*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  16 July 2024:Share*


When the Jews returned to Jerusalem after 16 years of Slavery in Babylon, they began the rebuilding of the Temple, and the work steadily Progressed.


Then came the Adversaries of Judah and Benjamin to weaken the hands of those who were rebuilding the Temple and to frustrate the work.


The Adversaries of the work engineered a decree to be made to stop the work, and the rebuilding of the work ceased - *Ezra 4:1-24*


The work ceased for 16 years. 


Now God commanded the People through Zechariah to start again.


*Why must we start again?*


*(1)* The Lord who began a Good work will Complete it - *Philippians 1:6*


*(2)* God has made Provisions for its Completion.


*(3)* The enemy does not have a Final say.


*(4)* God is not Pleased with an Abandoned Project - *Hebrews 10:38*


*(5)* God is Glorified when it is Completed.


*How do we start again?*


*(1)* Despise the Shame.


*(2)* Start Small, start with what is in your hand.


*(3)* Trust God Completely.


*(4)* Turn deaf ears to the enemy.


*(5)* Rejoice in the Lord always - *Philippians 4:4; Nehemiah 8:10*


*Starting again affords you the opportunity to start Intelligently.*


*Prayer:*

Father, in the Name of Jesus, this day, I receive Grace to start again every Abandoned Project in my Life in Jesus Christ Name.
