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.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
