ENVY NO ONE

 ENVY NO ONE


Genesis 37:1-11 
Devotional:- “And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (V.11) NKJV

For a man to enjoy God’s love being wonderfully demonstrated to him, he must constitute a habit of not envying anyone. This is the reason why many cannot demonstrate genuine love to others. It is time you begin to understand that your value is not comparable.

Envy is an emotional act people put on when they feel someone is better than them. Envy is always the mother of negative jealousy. It breeds bitterness and pushes people to commit all kinds of crimes. Some people’s reason for being armed robbers is that since they could not make it legitimately, they must go and get it by force from the hands of those who have made it. The truth is that there is no one who cannot make it.

The problem with Joseph’s brother was that they did not know the truth of the word of God. As children of Abraham, all of them are already pronounced as successful in life. Joseph was only seeing his own first (Genesis 26:4). But since they did not know the truth, they were envious and then finally sold their brother to slavery (Genesis 37:28). And since God is ever faithful, He still made him shine. But in the end, they all became great.

Friend, if anyone has something that you don’t have, be mature enough never to envy him/her. Yours is coming and will also be glorious. It is the unbelievers that should envy us and not we against our neighbours. Be happy at others' progress and rejoice with them. Don’t congratulate someone only to get home and be weeping. When your own comes, it will be the best and the latest. There is no level God cannot take you to. Keep serving faithfully, and you will soon become the envy of the world.

Prayer: Lord, help me to wait for my time.
“TOP IS FOR EVERYONE WHO IS WAITING FOR THEIR TIME”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
