JEALOUSY KILL THE TRUTH IN US.


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC JEALOUSY KILL THE TRUTH IN US.

This is an example of faulty assumptions that too many of us are guilty of. We all need to find the root causes of jealousy instead of dealing with superficial symptoms.

Why do you suppose that many people allow jealousy to hinder their relationships, spiritual growth or ministry?

The Jews became infuriated with jealousy toward Paul and Barnabas when they preached that God’s blessings were now available to all Gentiles. Quickly, the Jews whipped up antagonistic opposition against Paul and Barnabas.

Luke wrote, "When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul and were blaspheming." (Acts 13:45)

Whenever, people become obsessed with jealousy they demonstrate a misperception of the truth. The Jews were careful to guard their own misconceived rights, privileges and status as the only people of God.
Resentful suspicion of the Gentiles and their new influence completely enraged the Jewish leaders.

Be careful not to fall into any trap of jealousy or you will lose your perspective of the truth and love of God.

Ask the Lord to help you replace any jealous feelings with a trust in the Lord’s ability to do what is best in His own sovereign way.

LET US PRAY
in Jesus Name, every satanic trap set to catch you will catch the setter in Jesus Name,

Good Morning Friends
