(Nuggets from 2 Thessalonians 3:6)
I heard the story of a Briton who raised a pet snake. The snake grew stronger, bigger, and longer.
One day, this eight-foot-long python killed the man who raised it.
Sin is also like this python. If you ENTERTAIN SIN in your life, one day it will destroy you. A person’s sinful behavior within the church is likened to a leaven; It spreads to other church members too.
On an individual level, you as a Christian MUST DEAL WITH SIN RADICALLY when it begins as a little leaven, otherwise, it will corrupt your whole being and lead to destruction ultimately.
This is the reason for today's verse:
WITHDRAW YOURSELF FROM EVERY BROTHER OR SISTER WHO WALKS DISORDERLY, AND GOES AGAINST THE TRADITION/PATTERN OF OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH AND GOD'S DEMANDS.
This information is coming to you because you are an integral part of the BODY OF CHRIST, and if one part of the body is compromised, every other part is affected too.
This is an EARNEST PLEA to everyone who is JEALOUS OF GOD and wants to protect and uphold SANITY AND SANCTITY in the Body of Christ.
You should have no company with any such person, whether brother or sister, evangelist, clergy or laity, Miracle-worker, philanthropist, deliverance minister, music minister or co-worker in the house of God in any department; IF YOU OBSERVE THAT THE PERSON IS BEHAVING UNSEEMLY, or doing anything contrary to God's word that you know will HAMPER, POLLUTE, and DESTROY the body of Christ, WITHDRAW YOURSELF from them IMMEDIATELY.
These DISORDERLY FOLKS in the Body of Christ are the likes of ACHAN who introduce ACCURSED THINGS into the house of God, making way for God's wrath.
If you hesitate to withdraw from such persons, you will gradually learn their evil ways; "he/she that follows vain and idle persons, and keeps company with such, is in danger of becoming like them."
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
