There are people who seek to destroy
heavenly vision by diverting,weakening,deceiving,and frustrating those who are trying to fulfill
heavenly vision.
Nehemiah 2:20(King James Version) "Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem."
Such people are handled with
meekness of wisdom (James 3:13); instead of descending to fight them at their own level of ungodliness.
Romans 15:4(King James Version) "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of
scriptures might have hope."
To become a lover of God and his work like Nehemiah everyone has to become a covenant child of God. This is possible by entering into a covenant relationship with God through
Lord Jesus Christ. To do this,one has to repent of one's sins and believe in Jesus Christ as one's personal Lord and Saviour (Acts 2:38). If one is favoured by God to be
first person to catch
vision,one (the visionary) needs a network of other people especially other covenant children of God to fulfill it. For
heavenly vision to be fulfilled,'the visionary' also needs to fully depend on God
vision giver. And if one is favoured by God to support 'the visionary',one should make one's contribution 'as unto
Lord'. When confronting enemies of
vision,one should remember not 'to wrestle against flesh and blood (Eph 6:12)' or 'to fight with carnal weapons' (2 Cor. 10:3-6).
Nehemiah 6:15-16(King James Version) "So
wall was finished in
twenty and fifth day of
month Elul, in fifty and two days." "And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all
heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God."
The fulfillment of
heavenly vision brings shame to its enemies; joy to
network of its supporters;and glory to God its giver.
