GOD HAS AN ACCOUNTABILITY TO FULFILL OUR COVENANT AGREEMENT, BUT THE TRANSACTION IS NOT JUST FOR HIM TO FULFILL HIS PROMISES LIKE MANY OF US THINK. WE HAVE A COVENANT OBLIGATION THAT BINDS US TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS THAT WE MUST ABIDE BY AND BE LOYAL UNTO GOD. WHEN WE BREAK COVENANT IT IS A SERIOUS CONDITION THAT VIOLATES OUR STANDARDS THAT WE FOLLOW IN THE KINGDOM BECAUSE ITS RESPONSIBILITY IS BETWEEN GOD AND THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE APART OF THAT AGREEMENT. ONE DEMONIC STRATEGY THAT YOU MUST BE WARNED ABOUT WHEN LINKING UP WITH PEOPLE IS THE SPIRIT OF SHEBA WHO IS MUCH LIKE THE SPIRIT OF ABSALOM. SHEBA IS THE GRANDSON OF ABRAHAM THROUGH KETURAH (GENESIS 35:1-3). WE UNDERSTAND THAT SHEBA WAS A PERSON IN THE O.T., BUT IN THE N.T. CONTEXT SHEBA IS A SPIRIT WHO CREATES CONFUSION IN THE CHURCH IN ORDER TO DESTABALIZE AND DESTROY CORPORATE DESTINY. IT LOOKS FOR CRACKS IN THE VISION AND IT ATTEMPTS TO WEAKEN THE UNITY AND LOYALTY WITHIN THE LEADERSHIP. HOW DO YOU COMBAT THIS SPIRIT? YOU MUST SILENCE THE VOICE OF SHEBA BY SPEAKING WELL OF YOUR LEADER WHEN OTHERS IN THE CAMP COMPLAIN. DO NOT ENTERTAIN OR JOIN IN WITH THE GROUP. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH YOUR LEADER THAN IT IS BEST TO BE HONEST AND GO DIRECTLY TO THE SOURCE. MANY BELIEVERS WILL TOLERATE SITTING IN THE MIDST OF RUMORS AND GOSSIP WITHOUT SAYING ONE WORD, BUT IT SOWS SEEDS IN ORDER TO GIVE THE VISION A DETOUR. And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel (2 Samuel 20:1) THE NAME SHEBA MEANS OATH. IT REFLECTS A PERSON OF COVENANT WHO IS CALLED TO STRENGTHEN AND BRING A PERSON OR PLACE TO COMPLETION. SHEBA SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN OATH BEARING AND COVENANT KEEPING PERSON THAT WAS THERE TO COMPLETE AND HELP KING DAVID, BUT INSTEAD SHEBA SHOWED HIS TRUE COLORS WHEN HE WAS UNDER AN ATMOSPHERE OF STRIFE (2 SAMUEL 19). SHEBA OPERATES OUT OF A SPIRIT OF JEALOUSY BECAUSE THIS SPIRIT IS A REBEL WHO IS UNDER REBELLION.
