Nehemiah 6:2 – “Come let us meet together in the places of Ono”. The word “together” – suggests a friendly reunion.Behind that magnanimous / gracious invitation Nehemiah senses treachery,  V2 – “but they were planning to harm me”. Champions learn what to ignore and what to pursue.Your battle is your chance of recognition both in heaven and in hell.Without opposition you won’t become an over comer.

Never spend more time on a critic than you would give to a friend. V3 – “I am doing a great work and i cannot come down, why should the work stop?”. Your words are the vehicle of your future. You create your future or failure by the words that you speak. Never speak words that make Satan think he is winning.

The enemy is persistent.Those who do not respect your assignment disqualify themselves for a relationship. You will never outgrow warfare, you must simply learn to fight. The enemy applies pressure attacks v6 and v7, “It is reported that you and the Jews are planning to rebel, therefore you are rebuilding the wall, you have appointed prophets to proclaim a king in Jerusalem”. False accusation is the last stage for a promotion.
