DON'T BE ENVIOUS OF SINNERS

TOPIC: DON’T BE ENVIOUS OF SINNERS
TEXT: Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.  Prov. 23:17
INTRODUCTION: Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?  And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.  Malachi 3:14-16
QUESTIONS/DISCUSSIONS
1.    WHAT ARE THE SITUATIONS THAT’LL MAKE THE RIGHTEOUS MURMUR IN THEIR HEART: when the unrighteous are happier; they have better jobs, pay and marriage etc. these make the righteous who pray and fast daily to murmur within their hearts
2.    WHY SHOULDN’T WE MURMUR THOUGH THE WICKED ARE PROSPERING: For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.  Prov 23:18. We shouldn’t murmur because there is an end to the prosperity of the wicked and the suffering of the righteous. Sinners have no future but the saints do. What you see the sinners enjoying today will surely vanish sooner rather than later and what you see the righteous suffer will sooner end and their expectation will come to pass.
3.    WHAT IS GOD’S PROMISE FOR THE RIGHTEOUS: (Mal. 3:16-18) that He’ll bless the righteous with greater blessings than all the wealth sinners earn via their falsehood and sinfulness and the world would be able to discern between the righteous who calls on God and the unbeliever who cheats to make wealth.
CONCLUSION:
The devil can never give anything good to anyone because he has nothing good to give and no one can make anyone more prosperous than God can make such a one. Never be envious of the wicked because surely, there is an end to the prosperity of the wicked and most importantly the expectation of the righteous will always come to pass.

EVIL

WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
