The prophet - Nehemiah, had a mandate by God to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the wall after God's people had been in Babylonian exile. As Nehemiah embarked upon this monumental task, he encountered great opposition who persistently tried to cause him to abandon his assignment. Despite their efforts, Nehemiah remained steadfast!!! As a matter of fact, he boldly said in Nehemiah 6:3, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease, whilst I leave it and come down to you?"
People of God, you - like Nehemiah, must remain vigilant. The adversary (Ha-Satan, Satan) is on the prowl - seeking whom he may devour by provoking individuals to arguments and evil imaginations. It is important that you avoid messy situations, steer away from confrontation (especially regarding politics and religion)!!! When you are compelled to speak on such matters - be wise!!! Find your tribe (like-minded individuals).
This current season is NOT for the weak. Those who are called by HIS name (YAHWEH, YHWH) have a mandate. That mandate is found in 2 Chronicles 7:14 (If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.)
People of the Most High God, I admonish you to remain steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord according to 1 Corinthians 15:58. If you remain steadfast, you are less likely to be side-tracked by the evil one. Stay on the wall. And remember that you can NOT pull the dog’s ear and expect it not to bite!

He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him,
is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
Proverbs 26:17
