00:00Within the skills and/or capabilities of a leader, planning, organization and decision-making are key.
00:24Decisions are fundamental. From the context of Nemias, we find five principles of the
00:30Planning. First, the leaders think everything through in detail. Nemias had received that
00:38It had been charged four months earlier. Since then, she had been waiting for something to happen. Now,
00:45Months later, in Nice, something happens. What was happening in the meantime? What was
00:53making Nemias between the time he first thought of rebuilding the walls and
00:59When was he finally able to present his idea to the king? Nemias had spent that time
01:06He was preparing. He had prayed and made plans. When the king asked him what he wanted, Nemias was able to answer him
01:13because I had been making plans for that time. When a problem arises in your
01:19Life is not the time to get frustrated, but rather an excellent opportunity to stop and copy
01:27The example of Nemias. Praying and planning requires time to think seriously about the steps that
01:36You're going to do it. Often it means you need to take time to get away from everything, away from the
01:45pressures and the hustle and bustle of daily life. The word says, the prudent act with prudence, but the
01:52A fool boasts of his folly. The wisdom of the prudent is to discern their ways, but a fool does not.
02:00He deceives his own foolishness. Do you dedicate time to thinking about your life? Do you know where you're going? One of the
02:10A fundamental problem for human beings is that they don't know who they are or where they are going. Nemias thought
02:18Things were going well, so he prayed for four months, but while he was praying he was also making plans. No
02:26Planning is the same as anticipating failure. If you don't know what your project is, where you're headed, the part
02:34Planning is superfluous. It's essential to know your life project, family, career, or
02:41work, so you can pray and plan, know what you need for this journey and be able to start and
02:49Complete the project. If you, as a leader, walk toward your vision, God will show you what you need to get there.
02:57Prayer and paying attention to life's situations will greatly help us identify them.
03:05opportunities to acquire the necessary resources and begin construction of the project.
03:13Second, leaders prepare for opportunities, and life is full of them.
03:19opportunities, but we're not always prepared to recognize them. If you overlook one
03:26You might be missing out on the opportunity God has placed in your path, His purpose for you.
03:32your life. Make sure to seek God every day and ask Him to show you opportunities.
03:39that she has prepared. Every single one of your days. We never know where one will come from.
03:48opportunity. The best moments of our lives can be the result of very small acts and
03:55Even on those occasions. We might think that everything happened by accident. Without
04:02However, unless we are attentive to discerning the opportunities, we could miss them because
04:09Complete. Look at what happened to Neemiah. Let's look at chapter 2, verses 1 and 2.
04:18And one day in the month of Nisa, in the twentieth year of his reign, while I was serving him wine, the king saw me so sad
04:26He asked me, "You look very sad, what's wrong? You don't seem sick, so you must have something."
04:34problem. At that moment I felt great fear. The burden Neemiah felt for Jerusalem affected him.
04:43emotionally, and it had manifested in his outward appearance. In those days, he appeared before the king with
04:51A sad face wasn't well received. Neemiah knew this, but he was discouraged and couldn't hide it. There was
04:59He had been praying for a long time, but nothing had changed. Seeing Neemiah's sadness, the king...
05:06He asked, "What's wrong?" He was very aware of the danger he was in. Before his readers
05:14He admitted it, and I felt a great fear. His plan was twofold. Number one, to ask the king to allow him
05:24to be absent. And secondly, to request authorization to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. We do not expect
05:33that the king was delighted with those two requests. And the situation was that he was facing a
05:39a king who had power and who at first glance would not look favorably upon a person of his
05:45His confidence could be absent for a long time. Something important to highlight at this moment is
05:53Neemiah's fear or dread in this situation of being before the king and being able to tell him his pain and what he
06:00I was looking for it. However, fear is a feeling that can paralyze us or push us aside and
06:08To continue with my goal. What can we learn here? Leaders persevere despite their fears and
06:16fears. They don't let these penetrate their thinking and conspire against their vision, setting aside
06:24All sorts of assumptions, situations you don't know if they're going to happen or not. Definitely to the
06:31Leaders experience fear. Unlike most people, these fears don't paralyze them.
06:38as could happen to many of us at certain times in our lives. We might remember
06:44that opportunity we let slip by simply because fear paralyzed us and I couldn't take it
06:50action, and someone else did. Notice what Neemiah did with his fear. The king said to him, "What do you want?"
06:59It's obvious you're distressed, Neemiah. And he had prayed and confidently answered. And I said to the king, "Long live..."
07:06always Your Majesty. And how can I not feel sad if the city where my parents' graves are located is
07:13They find ruins and their ports have been burned. He chose his words very carefully. Furthermore,
07:21To assure the king of his loyalty, he began with a "May Your Majesty live forever." As a person of
07:27The king's confidence, Neemiah knew that a sad face could be interpreted as a face that
07:34He was hiding information about some problem. Naturally, the king wanted to know why his official
07:42The most important thing was that he was so grieved. And how could he not see me sad if the city where the tombs of
07:50My parents' house is in ruins, and its gates have been burned down. The king replied, "What can I do?"
07:57For you, Neemiah? Here's where it gets interesting, how Neemiah had made plans. He had taken the time
08:04to pray and organize her thoughts. She knew exactly what to ask for. When you have a life
08:12Through prayer, you trust in God and have clarity to ask for what we truly need to bring to
08:19We will carry out our family, spiritual, or professional life project. Have faith that your prayer has been heard.
