🛑HANUN IS MISINFORMED🛑
( A 2023 FOWI MESSAGE)..................................................
Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead. And David said I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him. But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land? Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, shaved them, cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.
1 Chronicles 19:1-4 KJV
Misinformation is a situation where an untrue message is delivered to someone. It may come from misconception, mishearing, misinterpretation, distortion, alteration etc., of the facts of the situation. In the verse above, Hanun was misinformed by the princes of the land. They either didn't understand David's actions ( misconception) or deliberately misinterpreted or distorted the facts to satisfy their selfish interest or pursue a negative agenda which could be to destabilise the throne of Hanun by provoking war with David. This means people may misinform us intentionally or unintentionally.
There are various avenues of misinformation: Ignorance or lack of knowledge, lack of Wisdom, fear of losses, laziness or excessive trust or reliance on people, and quick reactions to information etc., Hanun may have been a victim of any of these avenues, judging from the way he allowed himself to be manipulated by the princes. Know that we are always misinformed through our weaknesses that allow both negative people and unsuspecting individuals to access our intelligence quotient (IQ) to alter our common sense (CS).
Therefore, we should be very careful about who informs us, what information is carried to us, our reactions to the information and the likely consequences of the information. In our time, the princes of Amnon are the people who are always telling us negative things about others, who have exclusive news and who are over-defensive of our course of action. Misinformation can have disastrous consequences both in the spiritual and the physical realms. After being misinformed, Hanun reacted wrongly and invited war into his kingdom. Misinformation had led to murder, divorce, dismissal, imprisonment, and the collapse of friendships, partnerships, businesses, ministries etc., on many occasions.
In the prevention of misinformation in our lives, we must learn to be very knowledgeable about the situation and have the appropriate wisdom for implementation. Take time to study the character of the people who give you information. Don't be quick to react to volatile or flammable issues. Pray for the activation of your spiritual eyes, ears and mind to be able to handle information that is beyond your physical capabilities. After Hanun realised he had been misinformed, he should have been quick to carry out damage control; Retraction and apology, compensation to your victims and condemnation and sanctions against perpetrators.
As believers, we should be aware that misinformation is one of the powerful arsenals of the devil and his evil individuals. Even as you journey through the year, make sure you are not misinformed about anyone, a process or a system so that you don't lose direction in life. Therefore BE SAPIENT AS SERPENT AND SAGACIOUS AS SAGE. Those who have ears.........open them wide!
