Jealousy

[Jason Edward]

Greetings in the name of Jesus, today I wanted to talk about jealousy. Jealousy is number one from the enemy. We should never we jealous of anyone. It's ok to want to do better or have goals. But to be jealous of what someone else has is well childish. In the ten commandments it talks about not coveting your neighbors goods I am paraphrasing of course but you get my point. I recently found myself slipping into that jealousy bit. Night after night day after day year after year, I work very hard to get the word of God out to his children. I don't get vacations, I don't get to even leave this town I want so badly to take my daughter to the zoo. Then I see other ministers taking vacations trips this and that. When I know how hard they work they don't it just seem unfair to me. Then I had another thing hit me in the heart. I got my first royalty check from my book Letters of Wisdom. It was only 12 dollars. Out of all the people we give the word of God to only 2 people actually bought they book. I was devastated because I wanted to use that money to begin helping out the community, then I saw this one pastor who is crooked as the day is long claim he made over 200,000 dollars. I then realized exactly what was going on. I had fallen victim to the jealousy. I think I was more mad then jealous. At least in one area and jealous in the others. You know we don't do any of this because we want something in return its just hard to swallow because of all the bad seeds all the bad apples over the years with bad preachers that take advantage of people when the true people of God that for the people and for the love of God comes along no one wants to help because they are afraid. We have always said if you need us we are just a facebook click away. My whole point is this One don't be jealous of what someone else has, you have a vision or goal work to it. Two. Don't be afraid to help out no every one is a bad seed. Look I love you all so much, I wouldn't do this everyday of my life for nothing if I didn't love you and love our father in heaven. God has given us a huge vision we need the help to help each other. This may sound stupid but I keep thinking what I am doing wrong that no one wants help what am I doing that I can't inspire you to help us help you. Funny thing is I don't know. All I know is that I need to keep doing this and keep trying to reach more and more of God's people to tell you all he has not given up on you, he has not left us, that he is not counting our sins, that he loves us with unconditional love proven by giving us his one and only begotten son Jesus Christ. To tell you all to hold on to your faith Jesus is coming back. God bless I love you all
