READ: 2 Samuel 15:1-18

“For there is no faithfulness in their mouth;their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre;they flatter with their tongue” – Psalm 5:9

There are assistants who also have disloyal tendencies lurking within them. They will support you and they will fight you. It is an interesting combination that most leaders are never able to deal with because they simply don’t understand that they are dealing with someone who is both loyal and disloyal.

There are some people who come out of your spiritual loins and are of necessity your sons. In spite of being your sons, they can cause you great pain. As a leader, you must not be surprised if the people you bring up and train turn on you like wild animals. There are sons who carry the spirit of Absalom and such people are truly strange sons. I call them strange because they are a part of you and yet they fight you. They claim your heritage! They even look like you but the spirit of Absalom upon them changes everything.

David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, ” Arise and let us flee, for otherwise none of us will escape from Absalom. Go in haste, or he will overtake us quickly and bring down calamity on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword.” 2 Samuel 15:14, NASB
