Nehemiah was a cup bearer. He tested food for a living.  But he saw his life larger than that. His assignment was to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. It bothered him that the great city of Jerusalem that used to be the beacon of the world had lost its luster and glory. It was unacceptable. He knew they would never get the city back until they rebuilt the walls. He saw his life as having a greater purpose than his time on earth. He was a Kingdom contractor.  But in order to be a Kingdom contractor he had to accept the assignment.
