We notice in today’s passage, a specific and special reference / description for the sons of Shemaiah, they were ruling their different clans. The reason being that they had great ability. To dominate and control territories spiritually, economically, politically and otherwise, require spiritual abilities. The quest for this ability has driven many people into idolatry, diabolism, ritualism, cultism, occultism, and all kinds of spiritual misadventures, like King Saul (1Sam. 28:8). Unfortunately, many people are today trapped in the web of these misadventures. However, the only source of genuine and lasting spiritual ability is God, and the only way to access it is a genuine relationship and growing knowledge of God through Jesus Christ.” Daniel and Joseph are good examples of men with great spiritual abilities which enabled them to take dominion, even in foreign lands (Dan 6:3, Gen 41:39-41). Another example are the sons of Issachar, “of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do… and all their brethren were at their command” (1Chr. 12:32). Do you want to develop the spiritual capacity to be in control? You need to locate yourself in God by confessing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
