OPEN HEAVEN 26 AUGUST 2024 MONDAY: ENVY DESTROYS

OPEN HEAVEN 26 AUGUST 2024 MEMORISE: A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. Proverbs 14:30

OPEN HEAVEN 26 AUGUST 2024 READ: Galatians 5:19-21:

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

OPEN HEAVEN 26 AUGUST 2024 MESSAGE

The most dangerous thing about envy is that it opens up the heart to many evil things.

Anyone who allows envy into his or her heart is only a few steps away from harbouring many other evils.

Cain did not have any intention to murder his brother until envy came into his heart.

They must have been very close, but the day envy crept into his heart, it opened up the door to the thought of murdering his brother.

In Numbers 16:1-33, Korah and his group rose against Moses because they envied his position and were swallowed up by the earth.

When you see someone with something that you would like to have, rather than envy them, be happy for them.

Romans 12:15 says: Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

If someone is doing better than you in business, ministry, or whatever, don’t envy them, rejoice with them instead.

Yes, you may feel a little envious at first, but the danger comes when you allow that envy to linger and grow in your heart.

For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

James 3:16 According to the Scripture above, envy is a partner to strife, and where they exist, there will always be evil.

This is why you shouldn’t allow any feeling of envy to linger and take root in your heart.

The moment you catch yourself feeling envious of a fellow, work on your mind to expel that envy by replacing it with joy.

To work on your mind, you can ask God to help you not to feel envious.

You can also start praying for that fellow because it will really get the devil angry as he is pointing out things for you to be envious of, but instead of getting envious, you are praying for the fellow.

He will stop trying to get you to be envious after that. If you allow envy into your heart, you are opening the door for destruction.

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

Guard your heart against the poison called envy, it leads to destruction.

Father, please kill every form of envy in my life, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN 26 AUGUST 2024 HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME

1 All hail the power of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all!

2 O seed of Israel’s chosen race
now ransomed from the fall,
hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all.
Hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all!

3 Let every tongue and every tribe
responsive to his call,
to him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all.
To him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all!

4 Oh, that with all the sacred throng
we at his feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song
and crown him Lord of all.
We’ll join the everlasting song
and crown him Lord of all.
