LATEST MESSAGE : STAGES OF DISLOYALTY |FIRST LOVE CONFERENCE | DAG HEWARD-MILLS | 2026

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills preaches two messages in one sitting — VANISH OR SHINE and THE STAGES OF DISLOYALTY. Opening in Acts 15:35-41, he shows the exact moment Paul and Barnabas parted company: the contention was over the work. John Mark "went not with them to the work" — and from that point Barnabas vanished from the story while Paul kept shining, right up till today. Because a church, like everything else in creation, drifts towards entropy unless a force works on it, he warns that the Christians who vanish are the ones who are not in the work, and that in the house of God the workers must be the main people. He then opens 1 Corinthians 4 — "it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful" — and walks through the seven stages of disloyalty from his book Loyalty and Disloyalty: the independent spirit, offence, passivity, the critical stage, the political stage, deception, and open rebellion, ending in execution. With Absalom who spake neither good nor bad, Miriam struck with leprosy for speaking against Moses, and the vision of the animal that walked down the mountain into his chest, Bishop Dag shows that criticism is not neutral — it activates demons and drives away the very anointing you desire. He closes on deception: predators are attracted to weakness, God deliberately allows His servants to look weak, and "there is nothing like an expired father." He that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
