‘Real Supporters Of God’s Real Work.’
Ezra 1:6.
a) The Real Work in this case was the rebuilding of the House of the Lord.
b) The supporters were neighbours and friends. People who knew the testimony.
c) They gave:-
1- Silver.
2- Gold.
3- Goods.
4- Animals.
5- Valuables.
d) They gave voluntary offerings.
(This QT teaches me about Real Supporters Of God’s Real Work, it was a work of Restoration)

‘So That We Can Give Sound Answers.’
Proverbs 22:20-21.
a) Through the written Word of God we can receive Counsel and Knowledge.
b) We need to know the True and Reliable words of the Word of God.
c) So that we can give sound answers to other people.
(Through this Second one I realise that God has given me His Word So That I Can Give Sound Answers)

The rebuilding of the House of the Lord is not limited to the “need” for a new Church physical building. There may sometimes be that need but that is not the main issue of our days. The main issue of our days is that the House of the Lord will again Glorify Him as it did in the days of the early New Testament Church. There needs to be emphasis on what God wants from us rather than what we want from God. The Church needs to reach out into the community effectively as well as into the World. Most Churches today have so much untapped potential that is never released.
