*THE WISDOM CHURCH DEVOTIONAL WITH DR JAMES ADEYEMI ON FRIDAY 22ND MAY 2026*
Topic:*A Mind to Work for God*
Text: *“And the wall was finished… for the people had a mind to work.” Nehemiah 6:15–16*
*Message*
God is looking for people with a willing and committed heart to do His work. In the days of Nehemiah, the walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt not because the people had plenty of resources, but because they had a mind to work. Their dedication, unity, and willingness made the impossible possible.
Having a mind to work for God means being ready to serve Him with joy, faithfulness, and consistency. God’s work is not only for pastors or ministers; every believer has a role to play—through prayer, giving, evangelism, helping others, serving in church, and living a godly life.
Sometimes the work of God may feel difficult. There may be discouragement, criticism, or tiredness. Yet, when your heart is fixed on God, He gives strength to continue. A willing heart attracts God’s grace and favor.
*Ask yourself:*
1.Am I available for God’s assignment?
2.Do I serve God with joy or complaint?
3.Am I using my gifts to advance God’s kingdom?
In real life, people who make impact in God’s kingdom are not always the most talented; they are often the most willing. God can use anyone who is available. A willing worker in God’s house grows spiritually, gains wisdom, and becomes a blessing to others.
*Prayer*
Lord, give me a willing heart and a mind to work for You. Help me to serve faithfully, remain committed, and never grow weary in doing good. Use my life for Your glory, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
