DEFEATING DISCOURAGEMENT
TRUTH ABOUTOPPOSITION
Whatever you do, good or bad, there will be opposition.
- FAMILY- OFFICE- SCHOOL- CHURCH - GOVERNMENT
WE DON’T FACE OPPOSITION
BECAUSE WE’RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG, WE FACE IT BECAUSE
WE’RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT.
JESUS - LUKE 11:53
53 When Jesus left there, the Pharisees and the
teachers of the law began to oppose Him fiercely and
to besiege Him with questions.
PAUL - 1 CORINTHIANS 16:9
9 … because a great door for effective work has
opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.
TIMOTHY - 2 TIMOTHY 3:8
8 Just as Jannes and Jambresopposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned,
are rejected.

good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness

YOUR ENEMY WILL ATTEMPT TO:
DISCOURAGE YOU FROM THE OUTSIDE
Sanballat -Ridicule
NEHEMIAH 2:10
10 When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard
about this, they were very much disturbed that someone
had come to promote the welfare of the Israelites.
NEHEMIAH 4:1-3
1 When Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding
the wall, he became angry and was greatly incensed.
He ridiculed the Jews,
NEHEMIAH 4:1-3
2 and in the presence of his associates and the army of Samaria, he said, "What are
those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall?
Will they offer sacrifices?
NEHEMIAH 4:1-3
Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones
back to life from those heaps of rubble — burned
as they are?"
NEHEMIAH 4:1-3
3 Tobiah the Ammonite, who was at his side, said, “What they are building—even a
fox climbing up on it would break down their wall of
stones!”
Tobiah –Betrayal
NEHEMIAH 6:12b, 17
6:12b Tobiah and Sanballathad hired him.
NEHEMIAH 6:12b, 17
17 Also, in those days the nobles of Judah were
sending many letters to Tobiah, and replies from Tobiah kept coming to
them.
Noadiah –False Fear
NEHEMIAH 6:14b
14b...remember also the prophetess Noadiah and the
rest of the prophets who have been trying to
intimidate me.
Shemiah –Destruction
NEHEMIAH 6:10
10 One day I went to the house of Shemaiah. He said, "Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple, and
let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you--by night they are
coming to kill you."
NEHEMIAH 6:11-12
11 But I said, "Should a man like me run away? Or should
one like me go into the temple to save his life? I will
not go!“ 12 I realized that God had not sent him.
NEHEMIAH 6:13
13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by
doing this, and then they would give me a bad name
to discredit me.
Geshem –Deception
NEHEMIAH 6:6-8
6 In which was written: "It is reported among the nations--
and Geshem says it is true--that you and the Jews are plotting
to revolt, and therefore you are building the wall. Moreover,
according to these reports you are about to become their king
NEHEMIAH 6:6-8
7 and have even appointed prophets to make this
proclamation about you in Jerusalem: 'There is a king in Judah!' Now this report will
get back to the king; so come, let us confer together."
NEHEMIAH 6:6-8
8 I sent him this reply: "Nothing like what you are saying is happening; you
are just making it up out of your head."
DISCOURAGE YOU FROM THE INSIDE
NEHEMIAH 4:10
10 Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, "The strength of the laborers is giving
out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot
rebuild the wall."
DEFEATING DISCOURAGEMENT
NEHEMIAH 4:14
14 After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the
nobles, the officials and the rest of the people,
"Don't be afraid of them.
NEHEMIAH 4:14
Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and
fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters,
your wives and your homes."
DEFEATINGDISCOURAGEMENT:
REMEMBER THE LORD.
NEHEMIAH 4:14
… ”Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome.
DEFEATINGDISCOURAGEMENT:
FIGHT FOR YOUR CAUSE.
NEHEMIAH 4:14
… and fight for your brothers, your sons and
your daughters, your wives and your homes."
2 CORINTHIANS 7:5
5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings,
within were fears.
