3. THE STAGE OF BEING PASSIVE
This is the third stage of disloyalty. What do I mean by that? This things move from one stage to another, it’s in process. In here when the person starts feeling offended with you or with the leadership, sometimes depending on the individual, what the person will do is that the person will start keeping quite(passive).
In 2Sam, 13vs 22, Absalom manifested it.
Be careful of people when you call for a staff meeting they gather together and everybody is contributing but they are not saying a word.
Be very careful!
I am not saying all of it is rebellion, but I’m saying watch the person very well, for it could be rebellion manifestation.
Absalom kept quiet, am sure his guys were coming around him, trying to jeer him on to do something, even his father called him, ‘Absalom this thing that happened to your sister, by your half brother, it’s so unfortunate but you can’t kill him, you know… , but Absalom kept them all quite; first year passed, the brother thought he had forgotten, second year, he threw a party and invited the half brother who thought everything was forgotten. And Absalom assigned a particular servant to be filling him with liquor, immediately the guy was drunk, he cornered him and killed him.
Passivity!
People, who are usually like that, be careful with them, especially when they used to talk and suddenly stop talking. The married people will understand expressly that when a women or man keeps mute suddenly, there is danger.
Praise God!
When you have subordinates that are around you, that are lively, suddenly one of them tends to be quite, its either something is troubling him or rebellion has entered him, he has picked offence and he is beginning to manifest it first by keeping quite. That is how they manifest, first by quietness, just like Absalom. They will just be quite and be watching you.
