1. Unfaithfulness is the Forerunner of Defeat, as seen in the case of Achan touching the consecrated wealth (Jos 7).
2. Unfaithfulness is the Extinguisher of Testimony, as indicated in Christ's threat to the Church in Ephesus (Rev 2:5).
3. Unfaithfulness means the Rod of Chastisement, as is evidenced in the Lord's action to the chastised in the Church at Corinth (1Cr 11:30-32).

5. Unfaithfulness is the Cup of Bitterness which we fill for our own drinking, as is exhibited in King Saul when he failed to carry out the Divine behest in the utter destruction of Amalek (1Sa 15).
6. Unfaithfulness is the Napkin of Laziness, like the man who wrapped his talent in a napkin, and was punished for his wilful neglect (Mat 25:30).
7. Unfaithfulness is the Sapper of Judgment which undermines the house of the unfaithful one, and brings it down upon him to his destruction, as is illustrated in the house of Eli (1Sa 2:27-36).
