Nehemiah 2:1-8

[1] And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, that I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before. 
[2] Therefore the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart.” So I became dreadfully afraid, 
[3] and said to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire?” 
[4] Then the king said to me, “What do you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven. 
[5] And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.” 
[6] Then the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), “How long will your journey be? And when will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. 
[7] Furthermore I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors of the region beyond the River, that they must permit me to pass through till I come to Judah, 
[8] and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he must give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel which pertains to the temple, for the city wall, and for the house that I will occupy.” And the king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Wednesday, 3rd June, 2026.
Patriotism refers to the love for and devotion to one's country. As children of God, we are expected to love and show loyalty to our country; we should also pray for our country.

Throughout the Bible, there are several examples of patriotism that are worth emulating. Daniel was patriotic by interceding for his country despite being in Babylonian captivity (Daniel 9:1-3), Esther and Mordecai showed patriotism by praying and fasting to stop the wicked plot of Haman (Esther 4:16-17). Also, in our Fire Scripture, Nehemiah left a relatively comfortable position as the king's cupbearer to spearhead the mission of rebuilding Jerusalem's wall.

As a citizen of your earthly country, how patriotic are you? There are several practical ways of showing patriotism to your country. A good Christian should be a responsible citizen. He/she should not be found evading taxes. In Matthew 17:24-27, we see Jesus paying the temple tax even though He did not have to. He also taught in Matthew 22:17-21 that we should give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. So, it is lawful to pay taxes.

In addition, the Lord expects us to be law abiding citizens. Christians should not be found involved in criminal activities like armed robbery, kidnapping, rape, murder, drug pushing or any other activity that disrupts law and order. Christians ought to participate in the political process by voting; they should protect public property, report and prevent crime.

Most importantly, Scriptures enjoin us to pray for our country. This is the highest expression of love for one's country. We should not join others to speak ill of our country and our leaders; we should rather pray for divine intervention in the areas of our national life that are not good enough. Take hold of God's promises and prophecies concerning your nation just like Nehemiah did in Nehemiah chapter 1:8-9.

Ultimately, our citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20). While on earth, make sure to faithfully represent the One who has saved you and called you with a heavenly calling. May the Lord help you, in Jesus' name.
