WHAT ENVY LEAD TO

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: WHAT ENVY LEAD TO

... CONTINUE FROM YESTERDAY.
Envy is a powerful temptation and a destructive sin. Wishing you were married to someone else leads to lust and adultery, even murder. Being jealous of someone else’s success and prosperity leads to gossip and slander about that person, for if YOU can’t be them, you don’t want them enjoying their status either. Envy in the church leads to a refusal to submit to elders and pastors, because if you can’t be in control and in charge, then why should you submit to others who are?

Envy is not merely desiring what another person has.. envy is not merely being resentful that they have it and you don’t.. envy also doesn’t want the other person to have it.. so, for example, a wife who is envious of another wife’s husband may try to destroy that marriage…

We see the sin of envy throughout the Bible,
In Num. 12:2, Aaron and Miriam are envious of the position that God had given their brother Moses: “Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?”

Here in Num. 16, Korah the Levite and some of his buddies are envious of the high priestly status that the Lord has given to Aaron: v. 3 “They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them, “You have gone too far! The whole community is holy, every one of them, and the LORD is with them. Why then do you set yourselves above the LORD’S assembly?”

God comments on this: Ps. 106:16 “In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron…” And God dealt with them mercilessly without accept their plea.
Brethren don't let envy brings God's wrought upon you. Wait for God's time in your life.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, TAKE AWAY EVERY SPIRIT OF ENVINESS IN US AND BLESS US WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS NAME.
