Godly Leaders Appoint the Right Leadership (1)
The right leaders are appropriate leaders
The right leaders are timely leaders
They are serve out of necessity.
They were “appointed” or “assigned.”
The right leaders are selfless leaders
They served for the good of the people over the desires of themselves.
The Right Leaders Provide Strength (2)
Strong leaders are required in trying times.
The city was under opposition from all around.
There was a constant threat of attack.
Strong leaders know when to challenge and protect.
Hanani was given charge of Jerusalem as the leader of the citadel.
He would know when to make improvements to the wall and it’s defenses and when to retreat into the fortress to defend the city.
Strong Leaders Make Good Decisions (3)
Sometimes “good” isn’t “normal”
Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot
The gates were normally opened at dawn and closed at dusk.
Nehemiah changed this up.
It is possible that wanted to take away any opportunity for the enemy to utilize the early morning hours for a surprise attack.
Ensuring that the doors stayed closed until the sun was at its peak, also ensured that the people were about, enjoying the routine of the morning without worry of attack.
Sometimes good decisions require working outside your norm
The inhabitants probably weren’t used to taking guard duty shifts.
Maybe they didn’t think it was necessary to go both to their watch station AND to guard their homes.
But the leaders understood the kind of pressure they were under from those on the outside AND from those on the inside.
