IMPLEMENT THE TEACHINGS
READ: Mark 12:1-12
Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
Proverbs 22:10
Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, they will reverence my son. But those husbandmen said among themselves, this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.’ And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
Mark 12:6-9
Go deeper by implementing the laws of loyalty. Actively remove disloyal, wicked and ungrateful people. After removing one disloyal person, you may need to continue pruning until all forms of disloyalty, wickedness and treachery are removed. There are some people who actually honour disloyal people and elevate them. You must implement the principles of loyalty and disloyalty. It is not good enough to just read about it.
One day, I had to deal with a disloyal person who was criticizing me and destabilizing the church. I dealt with him by casting out the scorner so that strife would cease.
If you are going to benefit from the teaching on loyalty, you need to be persistent in casting out scorners. You will need to implement the teachings on loyalty and disloyalty. You will need to go deeper in the art of detecting traitors, antagonists and anarchists. An anarchist is someone who destabilizes a government. Anarchists within a church destabilize the leadership within the church. Cast out the scorner and contention shall cease (Proverbs 22:10).
