And, lo , I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he
pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.”
Nehemiah 6:12
You will sure need strong and
accurate perception to finish well in this end time as a Christian. You will
meet different kinds of people in your journey. Some will come to deceive you
and take you away from your God given assignment while some will come to help
you fulfill them. If you can perceive
correctly, you will not have trouble identifying and working with the right
people.
Our text this morning was the
statement of Nehemiah when Shemaiah who was described as a secret informer came
to prophesy to him that he should go into hiding because the enemy would come
and kill him. Nehemiah quickly perceived that Shemaiah had been hired by the
enemy so that the work could be stopped.
In 2 kings 4, the Shunamite woman perceived that Elisha was a Man of
God. That was the perception that took her out of the company of the barren .
“And she said unto her husband,
Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us
continually.” 2 Kings 4:9
Strong perception comes from a
strong commitment to something. Then the enemy will be exposed when he comes to
you disguised as a friend. Strong perception is developed by a deep
understanding of your assignment. Strong perception is developed by adequate
fellowship with God through prayer and His word.
May you never be in the dark
concerning the people that surround you in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: Oh God, help me to
identify the right people you have sent my way in Jesus name.
