Topic: Beware of evil workers/servants
NOTE
Every member of the church irrespective of your position, department or duty is a servant in the church. Every servant have a master which he or she acts according to the directives of his master. Who is your master? How do you serve your master?
Saul ignorantly believed he was doing the right thing, he thought he was serving God by persecuting the followers of Christ. Saul was filled with so much energy and enthusiasm in persecuting the believers. At the point of his encounter with God, Saul change his ways and followed God.
Today, so many Christians are acting just the way Saul did. Irrespective of how much of the word of God they have heard, the are still persecutors. They are yet to totally receive Christ in life even though they claim to be righteous. Every one is a worker in God's vineyard, and the qualities you portray defines if you're a good or evil servant.
Characteristics of evil servants in the church.
1. They are pretenders. They pretend to be righteous yet, they are not. They appear to be Christian but their mind is far from the truth.
2. Evil servants are tricky.
3. Evil servants are deceptive. They hide under the umbrella of the church to perform evil.
4. Evil servants are unforgivable.
Conclusion, every followers of Jesus Christ shoul have ye mind of Jesus Christ. Love and forgive one another. Let your shine so bright in your vicinity. If your master in Jesus Christ, care for one another and seek for one another's progress.
