Get Rid Of Envy      

Wednesday 30th April

Text: Matthew 18: 15 – 17 
Key verse: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Hebrews 9:14. 
Envy is the heart's feeling of displeasure at the success of others. The envious heart wishes that only he 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 seek to block or hinder the good in people's lives. 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 lives. 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 lives. You must repent from envy. Give God the liberty to use whoever He wills and to bless whoever He chooses, for His glory. 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." This also should be your confession and prayer: "Let the will of God be done in my brother's life and my sister's life. Let Jesus increase His grace, presence, and power in the life of my brother and sister so that they may do greater works than me." If someone has offended you and it is disturbing your heart, seek to let him know of his wrong action so that he may apologize, if he is truly wrong. Follow the instruction of the Lord as stated in today’s text. Work hard to remove sin from your brother, so that he also should be delivered from Satan and inherit eternal life, by following this principle of love and spiritual care for one another, which Jesus has given us.
Thought For The Day: Cry to God to save you and purge envy out of your heart.  
Song For The Day: Wash me O Lamb of God, wash me from sin…

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
