Turning Grace Into Lasciviousness! (2)

I find myself extremely frustrated with the prevalence of teachings on Grace. This frustration comes because many teach "GRACE" without the revelation of repentance — the complete turning away of sin or wickedness according to 2 Chronicles 7:14. It's is as if these leaders, teachers have forgotten that we serve a Father who is not only a God of love but remains a God of Wrath. HE IS the same yesterday, today and forever.

Many are aware of what defines grace, and what mercy is all about. So for the sake of this post, I will not go through the process of teaching these. Rather, I'd like to turn your attention to 1 Corinthians 10.

Beware of the RISE (Re-emergence) of Diotrephes (2)

3 John 1:9-10
9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. 10 So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.

 

There are people around us who are like Diotrephes. They start off subtly, and as they gain courage they will begin to tear up a ministry from the inside out. While we could dig deeply into this, Father simply said this to me today: Watch out for the rise of Diotrephes in the midst of your ministries. Many have evicted him in the past, but he’s trying to come back in. One of the ways he’s entering in this season is by taking on unauthorized leadership and mentorship roles within varying ministries in a very, very subtle manner.
