Week 37, Day 7:
Saturday, 16th September 2023.
TOPIC: ENVY AND ADMIRATION: Subdue Envy Now (7)
MEMORY VERSE:
1 Timothy 4:12.
“12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
BIBLE READING:
Genesis 4:6-7
6. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?”
7. If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.”
We thank God for the end of this study and I want to believe we’ve all learn one or more lessons from what The Lord has spoken to us. Nevertheless, God has no Interest in those who envy others because it leads to destruction. Let’s take the case of Cain and Abel. Cain wasn’t happy when his offering rejected so, he was angry. But during this time, God visited him as He visited us this week through this devotional. God said to Cain, Control your anger before it leads you to destruction. Envy birth sin and uncontrolled sin leads to destruction and death. Cain couldn’t Subdue the envy against his brother Abel and this led to Abel’s death by Cain.
God is speaking to you this morning concerning that envy in you towards that person’s success, Evil lays around the corner if you will not control it today. It’s time to let go of that spirit of envy and turn to God. When things aren’t working you don’t envy those it’s working for but seek for reason why things aren’t working and stop allowing the devil to take you out of God’s sight. Cain would have asked Abel why his offering was accepted and he’s wasn’t, or ask God why He rejected his offering but he acted with envy. Subdue your envy. Kill that spirit today. It’s an antagonist to achieving success in life and God is against it. Don’t be another Cain, know why things aren’t working and make them work.
Good Day and God bless you.
