It's Time to Fight Kingdom Devotional Guide

Nehemiah originally served as cupbearer to King Artaxerxes I and was the son of Ahasuerus (Xerxes), who took Esther to be his queen. In 457 B.C., Ezra led an expedition of Jews back to Jerusalem with the blessing of Artaxerxes. Nehemiah surveys the area, and he decides to rebuild the wall and reform the people. The book of Nehemiah covers about 20 years from 445 B.C. This book is a source of great encouragement to those who are dedicated to completing the work of God. Nehemiah shows us how to have a great passion for the truth of God's word, whatever the cost.
