LIVING BEYOND EXCUSES
How to Deal with Disloyalty
REVELATION 12:9
So “the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, ‘who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.1. The Teaching Method
# Preventive management through teaching is better than crisis management.
# Teaching helps to fight against deception, which is sponsored by the devil (Rev. 12:9)
2. The Nicolaitan Method
# The church and its leadership developed a hatred and aversion for disloyalty and disloyal people.
# God commended the Ephesian church for this method (Rev. 2:6).
3. The North Wind Method
# Those who complain, slander, murmur are always looking for someone to poison.
# By your facial expression, don’t give them the chance (Pro. 25:23).
4. The Abrahamic Method
# This is the method of peaceful separation.
# When mature individuals want to avoid the deadly effects of conflicts, they part ways in peace (Gen. 13:7-11).
5. The “Casting Out” Method
# This means to dismiss, expel, eject, banish, fire, sack, discard, unseat, or lay off the person.
Many times failure to cast out is like failing to do a surgery that will save life.
It means weakness on leadership. Pro. 22:10.
6. The Marking and Avoiding Method
# It means to brand or label such disloyal people.
Rom. 16:17, 18.
7. The Cursing Method
# In order to prevent charlatans from deceiving the church, Paul used this method (Gal. 1:8).
# David did not fight against Joab but spiritually took it up with this method (2 Sam. 3:29).
Conclusion
# Acts 8:21 – the importance of having a right heart before God and people.
Jesus is the way!
