TOPIC: GET RID OF ENVY
OCTOBER Sunday 21st
TEXT: Philippians 2: 1-12
KEY VERSE: Charity envieth not 1 Corinthians 13: 4
Envy is the heart’s feeling of displeasure at the success of others. The envious heart wishes that only himself should be recognized among others as being good, successful and gifted. He is not comfortable when others are praised along with him or when someone performs better than him. The envious man does not appreciate the blessings, virtues or good performance of others. The envy in him makes him criticize and condemn others and makes him to seek to block or hinder the good in people’s life. Envy is one of the impurities of the heart that must be dealt with to make the heart love and appreciate God’s gift, goodness and blessing in other people’s life. Do not pretend over this battle of envy but face it squarely for your righteousness and holiness.
God hates envy because it seeks to prevent God’s free choice and the free move of the Holy Spirit among men. The envious man fights against the gracious works of God in people’s life. You must repent from envying your fellow men. Stop envying your brothers and sisters. Give the Holy Spirit the liberty to use whoever He wills and to bless whoever He chooses to the glory of the Lord. Cry to God in prayer to save you and thoroughly purge envy out of your heart.
Live a life of love, appreciating God’s goodness and mercies in people’s lives. John the Baptist said of Jesus, “He must increase, but I must decrease” John 3: 30. This also should be your confession and prayer: “Let the will of God be done in my brother’s life and in my sister’s life. Let Jesus increase His grace, presence and power in the life of my brother and sister that they may do greater works than me.
Thought for the day: Do not pretend over this battle, but face it squarely for holiness
Song for the day: Make me holy (3x) O Lord
Bible reading for the day:
Jeremiah 5-6; 1 Timothy 1
