The king said to me, “What is it you want?” Then I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered the king, “If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my ancestors are buried so that I can rebuild it.” Nehemiah 2:4-5
The king and queen asked for his plan and Nehemiah laid out what he needed to accomplish the task before him. Have you laid out your plan? Do you know what you want? If God gave you favor with a King in your city, are you ready to lay out your plan? Take a look at the details laid out in the First Priority Phase 1 Guide. Have you taken the time to fill out your city diagnostic? Do you know the condition of the walls in your city? How is your burden for the broken students? Have you prayed and fasted, the preparing work for the king’s question? Can you tell them the process you will work to rebuild the walls? Can you explain what you are doing to make people aware of First Priority and building an initiation team? Clarity is key. Knowing where you are going is important. God has given you a heart to see the Hope of Christ in Every Student. Today is an opportunity to take a step forward by being ready when the opportunity presents itself.
