BEWARE OF THE MIXED MULTITUDE

BEWARE OF THE MIXED MULTITUDE

They were all out of Egypt by God's miraculous hands but even among them were mixed multitudes.
For the mixed multitudes, Egypt has not come out of them, though its true that they are physically out of Egypt. Their heart still crave after the things of Egypt.
Moving with the mixed multitude is something that can be disastrous because by the time lust sets in within the mixed multitudes, it will affect the genuine ones among them.
It is more dangerous to move with the mixed multitudes than the sinners because when you are dealing with sinners you will know that these are sinners. On like the mixed multitudes who knows the truth but are not ready to obey though they still mingle with those who are really holding to the truth
RECOGNIZING THE MIXED MULTITUDES
The mixed multitudes have the following distinguishing features

M - Muddle up matters
I - Instigate others to be incorrigible
X - eXcuse eXcesses
E - Entertain Excuses
D - Derail from Details

M - Murmur in most cases
U - Utters words that that Unedifying
L - Live a double standard life
T - Teach half Truth
I - Indulges secretly in iniquities
T - Tear-down true friends
U - Undergoes agitations and uproars
D - Dethrone God in their day-to-day lifestyle
E - Eternally unconscious but earthly minded
S - Stray after strange doctrines

Numbers 11:4-5 (KJV)  And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:

Had it been the mixed multitude didn't fall a lusting, perhaps others wouldn't have had their focus shifted towards the things of Egypt. If sin will be found in the congregation of the righteous, it will be among the set of "mixed multitude". They deceptively find their way into the camp of the righteous.
On asserting the dangerous effects of the mixed multitudes, you are to follow the following steps carefully so that you can be free from their dangerous effect:
- Identify them
- Warn them of the God's judgement
- Reason with them on how they can escape eternal punishment
- Plead with them to turn to God
- Avoid them if they will not change
- Keep praying for them because God is not interested in the death of sinners
- Watch over your soul, because your soul should be your number one priority
Beware of the mixed multitude among the mighty men because they like a little leaven which will soon leaven up the whole lump if care is not taken. They Interested more in Intellectual reasoning than divine Inspiration which will on the long run detach one from his Maker.
Beware of the mixed multitude!
