“RUNNING THE RISK OF DESTROYING MY MISSION!” The Life Guided by a Cosmic Mission Part 10

Galatians 5:25-26 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

WHAT IS ENVY? It is Resenting God's Goodness in Other's lives... It is Ignoring God's Goodness in my own life…

WHY I SHOULD AVOID ENVY? 1. ENVY DISTRACTS ME FROM MY LIFE MISSION –Luke 9:62 (Living Bible) "Any one who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him, is not fit for the kingdom of God."

WHY I SHOULD AVOID ENVY? 2. ENVY CAUSES CONFLICT –James 4:1 "What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?" –Ecclesiastes 4:4 (NIV) And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man’s envy of his neighbor.

WHY I SHOULD AVOID ENVY? 3. ENVY LEADS TO OTHER SINS –James 3:16 "For where you find envy there you find disorder and every evil practice."

WHY I SHOULD AVOID ENVY? 4. ENVY MAKES ME MISERABLE –Proverbs 13:40 "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones." –Luke 12: 15 "Don't always be wishing for what you don't have."

HOW CAN I OVERCOME ENVY? 1. RESIST COMPARING MYSELF TO OTHERS –2 Corinthians 10:12 "We do not dare classify or compare ourselves. It is not wise." –Galatians 6:4 (Living Bible) "Let everyone be sure to do his very best. For then he will have the personal satisfaction of work done well and won't need to compare himself with somebody else."

HOW CAN I OVERCOME ENVY? 2. RECOGNIZE MY UNIQUENESS Psalm 139:13 (GNB) "You God, created every part of me. You put me together in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:15 (Living Bible) "You saw me before I was born and scheduled every day of my life before I began to breathe."

HOW CAN I OVERCOME ENVY? 3. REJOICE IN WHAT I DO HAVE –Ecclesiastes 6:9 (GNB) "It's better to be satisfied with what you have than to always be wanting something else." –Philippians 4:11 "I've learned to be content whatever the circumstances."

HOW CAN I OVERCOME ENVY? 4. RESPOND TO OTHERS IN LOVE –1 Corinthians 14:4 "Love does not envy." –Matthew 22:9 "Love your neighbour as yourself." –Romans 12:15 "Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep."

HOW CAN I OVERCOME ENVY? 5. REFOCUS ON PLEASING GOD –Colossians 3:2 "Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things." –Proverbs 33:17 (GNB) "Don't be envious of sinful people; let reverence for the Lord be the concern of your life. If it is, you have a bright future."
