Prayer is the fundamental act for people of God. It would have been easier to give up in despair, but God’s leader always seeks God’s vision, even in difficult times. The vision emerged in the midst of a devastating situation. The vision must be “what God has put into my heart” (2:12). Only such a vision is worthy of leadership. It must be a God-inspired and God-revealed vision. He understood that a true vision must come from God. Nehemiah was always asking God to provide a vision for him. God’s direction and vision are sought by the leader and people. “Nothing is more limiting to a group,” says Peter Senge, “than the inability to talk about the truth.” 4. Unless the reality can be described honestly, progress is impossible. When Nehemiah said, “You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned,” he was not describing his personal agenda but assessing the common situation faced by all the people. God’s leader helps define the reality of the situation. Key Themes from Nehemiah (2:12) Why Look to Nehemiah for Lessons on Leadership? (9:00) 3. He came to understand and identify with “the trouble we are in” (2:17). He thought in terms of “we” and “us” (2:17, 20). Nehemiah listened to the voice of the people.
God’s leader cares for the people and their situation. Nehemiah listened and came to see the need (1:1-4). Nehemiah understands his leadership as a calling from God (Nehemiah 2:12b). Leaders must hear God’s calling to lead and respond to that call. Below are some lessons we might learn from Nehemiah’s leadership example. Yet, Nehemiah and the people persevered faithfully, though not perfectly. Divisions and hard feelings, combined with outside opposition, made faithfulness very difficult. The gifts of all were required to achieve the vision. While Nehemiah was the leader who first articulated the vision, the people confirmed the vision and committed themselves to the task. Despite obstacles and opposition, he discerns a challenging vision and leads the people in accomplishing it. Upon learning of the distress of his people, Nehemiah receives permission from the king he was serving to go help them. The prophet Nehemiah provides modern day leaders a wonderful model of leadership. Nehemiah defined the reality of the situation, named a vision, and then engaged the people to accomplish it. Weems, Jr., sees a compelling example of how a leader should function.
