THE 21 OPERATIONS OF A REBEL
REBELLION IS NOT IN LEAVING A CHURCH BUT IN HOW YOU LEFT THE CHURCH:
Someone asked a question in my last video on NO REBEL HAS ENDED WELL.
Bishop, I left a church to go and start a new church, does that make me a rebel? Because people are saying that I rebelled. I asked him ‘who did not leave a church before starting another church’?
Every person left a church to start another church. It is either you left as a member or as a pastor. The truth is that we all left somewhere.
REBELLION IS NOT IN LEAVING A CHURCH BUT IN HOW YOU LEFT THE CHURCH.
So in this post, I will help you spot practically the way and manner a rebel operates either before leaving or after leaving.
God said in his word, Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft…and also said to us ‘suffer not the witch to live’. If you put these 2 scriptures together, you will agree with me that a rebel should not be allowed to dwell in a church. Yes, it is as bad as that. The penalty for being a witch is the same for being a Rebel. You may not be killed physically, but you may be a living dead body. You will be alive, but everything about you will be dead. Because according to Scripture in the book of Psalms, the Rebel must dwell in a dry land.
SO WHO IS A REBEL?
1. A rebel must fight the Spiritual Authority of a church…irrespective of what happened.
2. A rebel leaves a church and does everything possible to pull people out of that church. Sometimes not to a church, but out of faith. He prefers to see them backslide than for them to worship in the church he left.
3. A Rebel leaves a church and starts speaking against the church and the leadership of the church.
4. A rebel leaves a church without observing the protocol of honorable exit.
5. A rebel leaves a church to start a new church on the same building, the same street, and the same road and tells you that is where God said he should start.
6. A rebel leaves because he is transferred from the location he loves and returns back to that location to create problems.
7. A rebel must create a problem for the general overseer before leaving. He can do this by telling so many lies.
8. A rebel will leave a church and completely disconnects from the church and its members. Thereby creating an impression that something is wrong with the church.
9. A rebel will never see his general overseer as a father or mentor simply because he has left the church, but will get a new father who has no connection with his spiritual foundation and ordination.
10. A rebel leaves a church and immediately joins all associations of former church members to speak against his former church.
11. A rebel leaves a church because of one error but will forget all the good efforts of that church in his life.
12. A rebel is not interested in what happens to the church that God used him to raise, he can disengage in a way that everything will scatter.
13. A rebel is sent to a foreign country by the general overseer, with the agreement that he must return if he chooses to resign, but as he begins to receive foreign currency, he will also receive a foreign calling. He will resign there and turn the citizens of that country against his general overseer.
14. A rebel tells everyone of his plans to leave without telling his general overseer. The General Overseer hears from outsiders.
15. A rebel is one that has had a problem with every church and pastor he has worked with or worshipped with. He has a dirty track record.
16. A rebel leaves a church and starts preaching against everything that the former church believes in. Sometimes he makes the former General Overseer an object of attack.
17. A rebel will divert all church offerings and tithes into a private account and leaves with it to start a new church.
18. A rebel will leave even when he is under suspension to start a new work with a wrong foundation. He believes only God can suspend him and not man.
19. A rebel will use a lawyer to convert an entire church property belonging to the church he is serving with as his personal property. He will even possess the signboard of the church.
20. A rebel is a man who leaves as a reaction to a new policy that he does not like. Forgetting that he will one day also establish those policies to preserve the work committed into his hands.
21. A rebel will use every secret at his disposal to destroy the church and man that raised him just because he is no longer there.
All of these can be handled and managed with constant training, discipleship program, and judgemental prayers. But the worst of them is a rebel that has chosen to remain in the house.
Internal rebels are worse than external rebels.
You must continue to relate with them without forgetting yourself.
Be blessed.
