Mobile Daily Devotional With Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel week 21, Day 2, Monday, 24 May, 2021.

“13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very  prosperous; 14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.”

Envy is mostly seen as a bad attitude. It’s makes one feel insecure. Those who envy you see you as an enemy and try to do all they can, to inconvenience you. To me, to be envied is a sign of God’s goodness upon one’s life. It’s a sign you serve a God that answers your request. It’s a reward for doing God’s will day in day out. Everyone who Envies you is always lacking something you have in abundance. Envy is traceable to jealousy. Envy simply means, “you are better than me and am angry with you.” ” You have all am lacking and am not happy about.” That’s all.

Isaac was following God’s instructions regardless of the situations on ground. He sow in the land, meaning, he worked, invested his time into farming and God blessed him in hundred folds, then, envy began. He became the rich man in Gerar. He was so famous that they fought his herdsmen often. Envy was a sign that God was really working with him for he obeyed Him totally.

Are you being envied and you are fight back? You don’t need that, because you already ask for it. When you follow God’s instructions He will bless you, guide you and make you the talk of the city, then, envy follow.

Are you envying others because they are better than you? You are about to see their God fighting you. The Lord they obey and follow fully is the reason for their greatness.

Do you want to be envied? Follow the instructions of God and He will make you a product of envy. To be envy simply means, God has bless you.

Father, Help me follow your instructions as they come. I want to be envied by those who sees me as foolish for following you. Make me a sign of your blessings to others, in Jesus Precious Name I pray, Amen.
