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:

Many turn to their strength and resources but later find out that their strength can never deliver them from their crisis (no man has enough to save himself no matter how rich such a man is) Many turn to juju and witchcraft for help, after getting the help they sought for, they ended up in a bigger trouble. Many turn to men to help them and later they realize they can’t pay for the help of men. Many compromise their faith in God and sell their body into immorality and start bribing and collecting bribes and stealing and committing frauds etc. But there are those who ‘thought on God’s name’ during the time of their crisis, a book of remembrance will always be opened up for them. *And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.   Acts 2:21* Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved from whatsoever crisis it is; they will always be remembered by God *…and a book of remembrance was written before him for t

*''THE SANCTUARY AND THE INVESTIGATIVE WORK''* - ADVENTIST ERROR *William Miller*, a Baptist preacher *predicted the world would end in 1844* with the Second Coming of Christ. Miller’s followers condemned all the churches of the day as apostate and “Babylon,” and warned Christians to come out of them. Many joined him, and the “adventist” movement was born and grew rapidly (*''advent'' in Latin means 'the arrival of an important person'*). Christ of course did not appear in 1844, so after this “Great Disappointment,” one “little flock” still insisted the date of their original predictions had been correct. They decided *the event marked by 1844 was not the Second Coming, but the entrance of Christ into the Holy of Holies in the Heavenly Sanctuary.* There, they said, He began the “Investigative Judgment.” This doctrine says that in 1844 Jesus entered the heavenly sanctuary and started to investigate sins and thus announce who of the dead would be

*I KNOW YOU ARE WORRIED SINNERS LOOK BETTER THAN YOU* You’ve seen your mates who aren’t Christians; who don’t pray, or pay tithes or sows seeds or fast etc. do so well in life and you are so worried if being a Christian is worth it. Your marital life is in shambles, your womb seems closed, your health is nothing to write home about and your finances is zero etc. yet you pray and fast and live a righteous life and right now, the devil is whispering to your mind that being a believer has no gain and from everything you could see around you, the lies of the devil looks true, I have word for you today *For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.  Ps 125:3* The rod of the wicked here means, (the fate of the wicked); things that should happen to the wicked. God has forbidden that that which should happen to the wicked should not happen in the life of the righteous who believes in Him. *Then s

RIGHT GIVING God's word has inspired me to give most when am in my most dire need. If it cost me nothing, it would fetch me nothing. Its not the gift in itself that causes result, its the pain we felt while giving. He who gave out of his abundance would get no reward. Its he who gives out of his lack,  now that's the gift that moves heaven. Did you just said the money isn't enough for you? That's the best time to give, when you are under paid, had poor profit, wretchedly clothed and filled with bunch of bills to pay. Many boast of their giving and wonder why no result, well, if you gave from your extras, it'll fetch out no miracles but if you give in your financial hurt, now that's real giving. David said, I will not give God that which cost me nothing. Its the generous soul that's made fat and not the stingy and tight fisted soul. Did I heard you again saying you don't have? That's when to give. Give to men when you have but give to God
