Pastor Hornbuckle continues with Part 5 of his message entitled mission impossible coming from the book of Nehemiah.Today’s message continues with Nehemiah responding to enemies who were attempting to lure him away from mission,with talks of peace. As believers, we are often faced with many distractions from the enemy with continual attempts to pull us off track.Saints must continue to remain steadfast and focused on god.
The local Samaritan Daily Sun might have reported the incident like this:
Nehemiah Says No to Ono
Samaritan officials have disclosed that Nehemiah, governor of Judah, has again turned down the offer of Governor Sanballat of Samaria to meet at one of the villages in Ono, on the Judah-Samaria border. The proposed conference would include the Big Four of the area: Geshem, leader of the Arabs; Tobiah, leader of the Ammonites; Sanballat, and Nehemiah.
Sanballat issued a statement today in which he sharply criticized Nehemiah for his repeated refusals to cooperate. He reports that the purpose of such a meeting would be to work on a formula for lasting peace in the region. The Samaritan leader said with evident frustration, “This is the fourth time Nehemiah has turned down my invitation to meet and discuss our mutual concerns. These repeated refusals mean that the responsibility for increasing tensions and any violence that may result, rests solely upon Jerusalem.” (Adapted from Donald Campbell, Nehemiah: Man in Charge [Victor Books], p. 55.)
