The Bible says: Proverbs 27:4”Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood, But who can stand before jealousy?' How true!

B.C. Forbes: "Jealousy... is a mental cancer."

Jealousy can actually sabotage peace in the family, church and also ruin your own life. This is no small thing, we need to find out if envy has taken root in our life and dig it out before it destroys you.  Identify! Are you listening?

If you don't like a person for no reason, now pause and ask yourself if you are jealous! Confront the issue and ask God to help you overcome.

When someone younger than you, less experienced and less talented is put as your supervisor, the situation is not normal, it breaks your heart and bites into your pride and dignity, this is height of humiliation; however, we got to handle such situations  prayerfully. 

Do not allow the enemy to plant seeds of hatred, jealousy and bitterness in you, feel secure in Christ who would never fail to bless you, are you listening? Also submit to God to take you through whatever path that has been allotted for you with grace and patience so that you learn the necessary lessons during the journey of your life. The Lord should be your refuge during such times, don’t allow ill-feelings to grow inside you, arrest it immediately and pray .

"When we replace envy with love, the problem is solved." This should be intentional!

1 Corinthians 13:4 'Love  does not envy!"
