Jealousy is one of the works of the flesh. It is an unchecked emotion that comes from feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. It can be used as a soulish weapon (force) against a person to whom the jealousy is being directed against. In this hour — some members of the body of Christ; under the enemies influence has used this emotion to divide, leave suspicion and usher conspiracy amongst each other.

There have been innocent people who have been affected negatively and didn’t even know at the onset that JEALOUSY was the origin of attack. Others feed on it in private conversations in dark corners. But, remember God sees all and knows all.

No one is going to like standing before the judgment seat of Christ and be charged with treason, sorcery and witchcraft because they let pride and emotions push them into an iniquity that will one day be dealt with severely. When our spiritual house is divided because of selfishness, pride, covetousness and ego, key purposes with great potential can be sabotaged from within. The enemy sits back and laughs while men/women strive against each other.

Bottom line: we got too much to do, too much to overcome and too much is on the line to get caught up with stupidity. Too much in-fighting engenders much confusion leaving bitterness at its’ roots.

Remember what we do and what we get caught up in really defines who we are.

“But if you have bitter jealousy and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth. This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife are, there is confusion and every foul deed,” James 3:14-16.

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idol-worship. Because you have rejected the Word of Jehovah, He has also rejected you from being king!” Samuel 15:23.

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good,” Romans 12:21.

“A sound heart is the life of the flesh, but envy the rottenness of the bones,” Proverbs 14:30.

“Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before envy?” Proverbs 27:4.

“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves,” Philippians 2:3.

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
