I welcome you all to this week’s Devotional, as we all know we are in the month of “Breaking Limit”. This Topic before us this week, determines our freedom from breaking Limitations. I pray that the Lord who led us into this topic will reach out to us all in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
What is Envy?
Envying is a feeling of discontent or resentment aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or achievements. It is often characterized by a desire to have what someone else has or to be like someone else. Envy can stem from feelings of inadequacy or a sense of unfairness, and it can lead to negative emotions and behaviors if not properly managed.
Hunnnn! Considering this definition, can we find ourselves locking with envy? Truthful, we need to search ourselves and identify our lust for envy. Don’t deny it, it’s seen in our churches, between members, department and unit, including ministers. When you are not happy or assume something meant for you was denied, check through if the seed of envy is not in you.
I will leave us with this definition of Envy, it’s seeing what belongs to other as yours when you don’t deserve it.
Good Day and God bless you.
