YOU ARE NO LONGER A SLAVE TO SIN PART 4 (CONQUERING THE CONTROLLING POWER OF ENVY)

 Proverb 27:4 (Wrath is cruel and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy) James 3:14 (But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not and lie not against the truth. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil works).

As a redeemed child of God; you are no longer in bondage and therefore you are no longer a slave to sin. Sin has no power over you anymore. You are redeemed as a more than conqueror entity; the new birth has conferred to you power to conquer any evil spirit. Your mind has been renewed and everything about you has become new (2 Corinthian 5:17). You have been empowered to see things in God’s perspective; you are to think and act like your Father in heaven. Envy is a satanic property and power to drop it has been given to you; if you are still holding on to any of his stuff you have submitted yourself to his authority and that makes him your father.

Envy is a strong spirit; it is the father of so much evil and to conquer this notorious evil force one needs to be content.  You need to appreciate God and also appreciate yourself and what you have. Those who are envious of others do not like themselves, they hate who they are, they are always angry with themselves, they cannot be satisfied, and not even God can satisfy them. Do you know that even if Satan succeeded in collecting the throne of God from Him, he will still not be satisfied, he will want some more  and that’s what makes envy his property. The bible says “where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work” Envy is the root where witchcraft grows from. They just want to be you, they want your look, they want your brain, they want your education, they want everything you have including your wife and your husband; and if they cannot have them, they will go the extra mile to eliminate you.  And life is not designed to be that way; everyone is different, just as our faces are different. Our uniqueness is who we are; I can’t be you and you can’t be me; even if we are twins and join together from birth, we are still different. Love and cherish what you have and don’t try to covet what others have, so that you will not end up in hell. Love others and appreciate the grace of God in their lives and wait for your turn and cherish what you have at hand. Hebrew 13:5(Let your conversation be without covetousness; and content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee).   An envious man is a dangerous man, stay away from such people; an envious man will have a beautiful wife but all he wants is his friend’s wife and envious woman will have her husband but all she wants is her friend or neighbor’s husband and when they finally have him or her they will not stop there. It is a trap, it keeps dragging people in, but you are coming out of that pit of envy today in Jesus name.  1 Timothy 6:6(But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition). Hmm, but that will not be you in Jesus name. Joseph suffered in the hands of his brothers because of envy but at the end God still confirms His word in the life of Joseph. Act 7:9(And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him). They were all born great but yet they could not wait to receive their own promise from God. God was with Joseph and saw him through because he had a relationship with God; your love for God is the only thing that can save you from an envious person, so many people have died because of envy. And if you are suffering from this evil force and you want to get out of it before it is too late you need to renew your mind and it is only God that can help you. Joseph’s brothers repented and God forgave them. In case you want to be today's Joseph in terms of relationship with God; here is your chance to do so by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior and if you want to be delivered from the wicked spirit of envy you can do the same prayer below and be free forever in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
