Christians, guard your heart so fiercely this season. One of the dirty balls the devil is throwing around this season is jealousy, and it graduates so quickly to hate. One weapon you can use to fight it is prayer, you can’t hate the person you pray for.
It starts with wishing. You will just start wishing your life were like someone else’s, before you know it, it grows to jealousy because your life cannot be like that, and boom! Comparison, Hatred, depression.
Hating on someone you have probably not met or even know personally. Whew!
The same way it is easy to evangelize because of theadvantage of the media is the same way it is easy to grow in jealousy through the same means - media.
I know some of you will be surprised on how I told my story shamelessly on this post (beautifulyetgodly.com/how-to-overcom…) but it’s the truth, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Jealousy is something we all might face at some points in our life, but you must never let it stay. Fight it back. Fight it with all of you.
See what this scripture says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23
In that post I mentioned, I listed some key things you can use to fight it, one I want to emphasize is prayer. See, you cannot hate the person you pray for because somehow, you see you’re responsible for that person.
Prayer softens you, removes hate and corrects your heart posture before God.

The devil came too late, we cannot be jealous of ourselves. We will recognize the grace on one another’s life, pray for each other and help each other grow. The devil came too late!
Dear Christian, the devil does not like you. He hates that you're preaching the gospel, he hates that you're setting men free. And so, he uses every opportunity he gets to sow discouragement. But see, we won't settle. With every stunt the devil pulls, we go HARDER FOR JESUS🔥
Testimony here🔥... After I made that last post yesterday, I began to feel really weird. It's been a long time I felt that way. I was about deleting the post in fact.
I stood up, paced around my room, and was close to tears.
I honestly did not know where the weird emotions were coming from, I did not understand what was going on.
I decided to put a call through to my dear friend and described what I was feeling after making that post. My friend just told me to calm down and leave the post.
Your big breasts are just fine the way they are, they are not "oversized," they are the perfect size for you. Your big bum isn't "too big," either, it's fine, it's your size, perfect for you.
I won't be mincing words in this article, and I'm sincerely not sorry, I'm not sorry because I'm tired. I'm tired of seeing ladies ashamed of the body they have, I'm tired of seeing ladies think their bodies will make people sin even after dressing to cover up properly.
I'm sincerely tired.
Which one are we going to talk about? Is it the lady that almost got surgeries done because she felt her hips were too pronounce and everywhere she went, no matter how big the clothes she wore were, heads would turn?
This is the word for you today: while you're running your race on this earth, and fulfilling all the visions given you by God, and the dreams you have, be like Nehemiah. Be ready to fight to accomplish them and AVOID DISTRACTIONS like a plague.
Distractions will come in form of gossip, you will hear people saying things like you're not good enough, you're not doing well, *** is better than you, you're too local, you're too fake, please don't listen.
Distractions will come in the form of comparison, all of a sudden, you want to cut and tailor your life to fit another person's, please don't. It's a code, the distraction code.
He transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning.
He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service... only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him.
He asked people for change to buy food... NO ONE in the church gave him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the usher if he would please sit in the back.
Dear Christian, maybe nobody told you that Christianity is not about wearing your favorite church’s wristbands or shirts. There are times you will have to faith it even when it makes no sense, there are going to be times of pruning, you will not like it, but you will THRIVE🔥
How about the times you will have to forgive even when you clearly were not at fault, the times you will have to give all, I mean, the times you will have to spend and be spent,
How about the times you will do all thinking you’re pleasing God, and the HolySpirit comes to tell you it’s a waste, and you will have to start over,
How about the times you are about to sleep, and he puts burdens of people you don’t even know in your heart,
See Naomi, she obeyed her husband by going on a journey to a strange land, she lost everything, including her husband and her children, she decided to go back home, in pain and shame, and see the way God turned her life around. We stan a God who is called THE RESTORER🙌
God is still restoring lost years! I started this write up with a heavy heart, I write this for you,
For you who see the success stories of others, and weep, not necessarily because you’re jealous but because you’re just concerned as to why your case is different,
I write for you who come out laughing, looking happy to the world, but just soaked your pillow with tears the night before,
