DANGEROUS SPIRITS AT WORKPLACES/ ORGANIZATIONS, Lets look out at them discern accordingly...
Introduction
As a leader beware that at one stage or the other in your organisation,you will find yourself dealing with the following groups of people. If you don't have wisdom to deal with them,your organisation is in danger.
- Thomas group:
John 20:21-30
They walk with you but they Don't really believe in you.Though God can use you infront of them,they are not easily moved they take time to believe in you.These people can delay your vision and they are also not aware that they are also delaying themselves.It's a struggle and a burden to lead people who don't believe in you.
- Judas congregation:
John 13:2, John 6:71 and many other references to this son of perdition.
They walk with you but they have issues with you when God begins to bless you. They are not happy when things of great value are given to you. In short they are jealous of your success.They have serious issues if your life becomes better and better. They talk as if you don't care about the poor. Anyone who is jealous about your prosperity can betray you.
Absalom spirit existing among people who create centers of power within another center of power:
2nd Samuel 14:28 & 15:12
You give them opportunity to teach or lead and he begins to see himself as the Boss of the workplace,he believes he can teach and lead better than you. When he leads,he leads to prove a point that he is better than you,he won't even mention you in his conversation.He works behind you to steal the hearts of people so that people will follow him. He will make people to feel they are neglected in your workplace. He will tell people he is there for them to help them anytime they need help. This one is in competition with you,he believes he can be a better Boss than you . Tomorrow trust me,he will split your staff.
Korah kind of people:
Number 16:21
This one will challenge your authority,he believes you are at the same level with everyone and he has issues when others give honor to you. He will say you are honoring this man too much. He has issues when you give instructions,he is rebellious and dangerous because he sees you as someone who is at the same level with him.He believes everyone is professional and everyone is educated so what is so special about you?Ham is another dangerous group of believers:
Genesis 9:20-27
This one will expose your nakedness,the day you find yourself in a shameful act,he will tell everybody your weaknesses and he will be happy to expose your disaster .Gehazi generations:
2 Kings 5:1
He is with you but he will be collecting money from behind your back.He takes advantage that he is close to the Boss and use that to collect things from people. He borrows money from people and he does not pay them back. He goes to people to ask for financial assistance and make people feel you are not taking good care of him as he serves in the house.Diotrephes group of people at of places:
3 John 9:11
This one is too dangerous,he is famous in the workplace,he has power and influence and has a voice amongst the people. He speaks malicious words behind your back.He is poisonous,he can come with stories that can totally destroy your image as a boss.He can come up with serious lies that cause people to leave your job.He will come with stories that you are eating company money,you are sleeping with women and you are also using sangomas to grow your work.His stories are very harmful and dangerous.
Conclusion
Therefore I pray that God will give us wisdom to deal with all these kinds of spirits because,no boss can rise to higher level of his workplace until all these spirits have been dealt with in his establishment,and if you deal with them in a canal way you can cause more damage to yourself and your job. Depend on the Holy Spirit,He will help you.
God help us to discern the right people and be the people
