TOPIC: TYPES OF MENTALITY: Envy Driven Mentality (3)
One Year Bible Reading:
1 Samuel 16 - 17, Luke 19: 28 - 48.
MEMORY VERSE:
Philippians 4:8.
"8. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
BIBLE READING:
Galatians 5:26.
"26. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another."
Thinking Point:
Envy driven mentality leads to destruction of others without self progress.
The causes of many great and aspiring persons' death and downfall can be traced to envy driven mentality. Many great people with good hearts were destroyed by this mentality. It won't be far-fetched that those they helped or called colleagues, friends, family, mentors and spouses destroyed them because of this envy driven mentality.
To start with, Jesus our Lord and saviour was killed as a result of an envy mentality. The Chief priest instigated others out of envy to deliver Christ for death.
"10. For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. Mark 15:10.
He performed signs and wonders and miracles they couldn't perform nor rehearsed. When this mentality is in charge and not controlled no man or woman can't be destroyed by such a fellow. The same mentality took control of Cain which led him to kill Abel, his blood brother, and still confronted God if he was his brother's keeper, no remorse at all, Genesis 4:3-10. The same mentality took charge of the senior prophet in 1 Kings 13, that he envied the young prophet and deceived him until he was killed by the lion. Envy driven mentality never sees the good in their lives but envy the good in others. This mentality controlled persons can't replace those they destroy because they can't carry on their duties but just to bring about their destruction.
Which mentality is controlling you brethren? Those envied became who they are by what they have put into life but those who envied them literally added nothing to their own lives but desire what the great persons had achieved. When you start envying what others worked for, beware of an envy driven mentality. When you are not happy with the achievement of others, the height they've attained, their breakthroughs, watch out for an envy driven mentality. This mentality is not a gift nor a fruit of the spirit to be desired. Fight it before it eats you up.
Good morning, and God bless you.
