The Law of Disorder
We immediately think of confusion and disorganized things when we hear the word disorder. This is true; however, we rarely consider the reality of order in initiating disorder. Simply put, there are mechanisms know or unknowingly being followed or put in place that will secure a specific end result.
We must remember that absolutely nothing just happens, no matter how small or large, good or evil, organized or disorganized it may be. The reality is that all situations are governed by laws, and in this case, some laws apply to the disorder we are about to explore.
The book of James 3:16 speaks to the law of disorder, and I quote, "For where envying and strife there is confusion and every evil work."
Now! Let's consider the facts that are presented here in the mentioned scripture. Firstly, for confusion or disorder to be produced requires envy and strife. So let's get a clearer understanding of these two words, so we can comprehend how these words' synergy equals or creates what we know to be disorder.
To envy is to be discontented with success and or accomplishments of others. On the other hand, strife is struggling or resisting something or someone.
Therefore, in an atmosphere where there are minds that have problems with others' success and advancement, these same minds rebel and resist any and all efforts made by the party that is seemingly or genuinely advancing.
Interestingly enough, the evidence of this is saturated in environments where you have folk's attention and focus taken off the company's true purpose, marriage, friendship, etc. So you would hear phrases like, 'he thinks he's better than others," "They don't even say Good morning, or speak to people," "they think that they are smarter than everyone else," or just outright have an antagonistic attitude.
Rather than synergy among partners, coworkers, spouses, business associates, etc. Folks become more personal rather than purposeful simply by allowing these two agents, envy and strife, to permeate the relationship. Due to the disorder, the victims will now produce less as a team than individually.
The second fact of that mentioned scripture is after confusion has been achieved, James said, "and every evil work"…….. Wow!!! Now, what exactly is he suggesting here? He says that once envy and strife have conceived and produced confusion, there must be something to maintain this confusion/disorder. This is where evil comes in. The disorder is literally a nest for unethical activities.
In closing, where ever there is disorder, then I expect to ascertain such evils as witchcraft, adultery, fornication, compulsive liars, bitter and hateful folks, etc., simply because the grounds are conducive for it. If there is no order in a church, your job, etc., I can guarantee you inappropriate affairs, unfairness, sickness, cancers, hypertension, and the like. They are only there because they plainly have a legal right to be there because of the law of disorder. So, restore order, and you will simultaneously evict the agents responsible for disorder and evil.
THE FIRST LAW OF ORDER IS: WHERE THERE IS NO ORDER, IT CAN ONLY BE REPLACED BY DISORDER.
