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…

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20.
