******************************************************
Nehemiah 2:10-16 2:10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.2:11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.2:12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.2:13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.2:14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.2:15 Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.2:16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.
**************DISCUSSION & INSIGHT ********************
Those who dislike your success will not be your destiny helper and they also go every length and breath in pain when they see that God has sent you someone to guide or help you. Yes, they will do anything to just block your success. The believer can learn from Nehemiah and keep our enemies in the dark whilst we work out the secret of God that is with us . We must also learn to avoid sharing information about our plans too early until we can be sure it is the right time and the right season. The enemies are always seeking to terminate our process therefore we must learn how to keep our secret plans so that we do not give the enemies weapons to fight our progress. Outsmart your enemies by keeping your secrets away from them and keep praying and trusting God. Nehemiah succeeded, because he kept his inspection of the problem secret to avoid interference from his own people and the elders. Stay focused on Christ and be prayerful.
