On December 3, 1973, Brother Stephen led a ministry session in Richmond, Virginia, emphasizing the importance of knowing God for eternal life. He referenced Nehemiah's journey to Jerusalem, highlighting the need for restoration of both the temple and the city walls to fully restore God's testimony on earth. Stephen explained that the rebuilding of the wall symbolizes the unity and life of God's people together, which is essential for a public testimony. He noted that opposition arises when one seeks to strengthen the remnant of God's people, as represented by Semballat and Tobiah, who symbolize the flesh's resistance to spiritual growth. Stephen urged the congregation to seek discernment and vision from God, emphasizing that true leadership involves sharing burdens and inspiring others to work together. He illustrated this through Nehemiah's leadership, where he gathered the people to rebuild the wall, despite mockery and internal strife. Ultimately, the wall was completed in 52 days, demonstrating that with faith and unity, God's people can overcome challenges and fulfill His purpose.
