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.

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
