Recently, I posted on MINISTRY LAND-MINES.
This concerns face book.
FIVE FB LAND-MINES
First: RE-CONNECTS- FB's greatest asset is also it's greatest liability. Some people from the past need to stay there. Beware, that the enemy will try to sow seeds of confusion with people who once caused you problems. When Jacob left Laban he didn't look back. You shouldn't always renew a friendship. It may be a snare. Pray and wait on peace. Don't re-friend w/o it. If they go awry etc...then, unfriend and block on fb and if you've exchanged numbers, on your phone as well. Malediction means to separate. It's opposite is Benediction. , which means to speak good. When Jacob and Laban separated, they said: "The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from the other".
This was a malediction. In other words, YOU stay over there and I will stay over here. Re-connects can be a FB land-mine.
Second: ADDICTION- The root of the word is "dictate(or)." Compulsion means to compel.
To be transfixed by fb means you need to be fixed. Daily Habits become demonic habitations. When you're on FB before you pray you're addicted. Other signs are, throughout day, .....you are spying on people's posts and who likes or comments; ....you can't engage in communication with the person you're with, for constantly glancing at FB; ....you make excuses to get away or have someone to go away so that you can post, respond to comments or check other posts....when you can't get much else done you are addicted. I recommend you coming off for a season and focusing on the things of God and stop considering FB your pulpit or megaphone. Addiction is a FB land-mine.
Third: COUNSELING- People are going through trying times. They need help. Sometimes, they be a virtue parasite and drain you. If you post a lot and it's apparent that the wisdom of God is upon you, they will often reach out for legitimate help. However, often times, your "sweetness becomes their weakness." They will vicariously transfer their emotional needs to you. In your identificational intercession there is great potential to be allured and ultimately beguiled.
Be prayerful about who you respond to, because listening to their problems could open you to entrust yours to their confidence. Then, something well intentioned can quickly become tainted and ungodly. Counseling is a FB land-mine.
Fourth: ARGUMENTS- Some people are drama magnets. Wherever they go, they attract or stir it up. You should unfriend them immediately. In my estimation. The purpose of being someone's FB friend is to edify, not blast, challenge, one up...them, or prove you're smarter. If you disagree, do it respectfully. Not with touches' all the time. "Whenever someone wins an argument, that means someone had to lose it!" Ideally, in human relations, You want a win-win. Most people on FB, including very intelligent ones are very defensive, combative and combustive if "they feel they are being made to look stupid."
You should "Never go to war where there are no spoils!" Don't be STUPID enough to challenge someone on their post with personal attacks etc... Because they just might whoop your contentious behind. And their followers will stomp you line "rock em sock em robots." Before you attempt to comment on someone's post make sure you've read it and don't hi-jack the thread by drawing "attention away from the one who posted." You might ask, "whose rules are these?" There the RULES OF DIPLOMACY. Show yourself friendly, as scripture says. Arguments are a FB land-mine.
Fifth: STALKERS, HITCH HIKERS, HI-JACKERS, FAKE FRIENDS, NON FOLLOWING FOLLOWERS, INCESSANT TAGGERS, NAME DROPPERS, SHARKS, INFAMOUS
IN-BOXERS
1. stalkers- they obsessively, watch your every post, people's response to your posts, your likes and comments of others.
2. Hitch hikers- they have very little to say, so they ride the posts of others daily.
3. Hi jacker- they take over your post as if it's their own. . Will even share and try to control from their line.
4. Fake friends- they request friendship to spy and report. They check out who likes or follows you. Pastors do this with members vice versa. Relationships are sometimes killed by this. Sometimes, however, wrong is uncovered by this.
5. Un Following followers- They follow your words, not you. They steal material. Save it. Re-post it. Re-word it. Claim it as theirs. Even preach it w/o acknowledging it's source.
6. Incessant Taggers- being tagged is sometimes good. It serves its purpose . But, being tagged means every time someone comments it pops up on your screen. They know that. They either don't care or want you to see what they are doing. I would strongly suggest a person be a good FB friend before you tag them and with consideration.
7. Name Droppers. They cite your name in a post to draw your followers to them. Sometimes, its random and you go, "what the what". They don't even know you, but drop your name.
8. Sharks. They ride your post, looking for fresh blood. Then, they Seek to be-friend them. Using your name as a friend of yours. Then, they, "Come on to them and act like they're soo close to you. Sharks have multiple women on FB thinking their the one. They are cheaters.
9. Infamous In boxers- the inbox serves a very valuable purpose for privacy, respectability etc...But some inbox to much...they wake you with inboxes. Regularly, inbox you. That's how mess gets started. Be careful. Ask them to not inbox if you can tell their motives and your desire do not match.
Face book is a blessing, but also a lot of land-mines. Walk in wisdom. "Be wise as a serpent, but, gentle as a dove."
