Jealousy: How to Terminate This Negative Attribute

There are many attributes that man exhibits in life. Some being positive and others negative. However, the negative characters in man such as; jealousy, strife, anger, pride, stinginess, judgmental, foolishness, can prevent man from reaching his highest God-given potential. Many people who suffer from any of these are not even aware. I shall be discussing one particular negative attribute called jealousy.

What do you understand by the word 'jealousy': It can be said to be lack of contentment with what God has endowed you with in any facet of your life? Do not get me wrong! It is always good to strive to elevate in every area of life but there should be a balance. That is, you say; God, I am content with what you have given me but I need more grace to move to the next level. When you follow these pattern, that is; being content and asking for more of God's grace, you will find yourself not only soaring higher but also free from the spirit of jealousy.

There is a reason God says in His word:

But the path of the just is like a shining sun,
that shines even brighter unto a perfect day.
                                                   Proverbs 4:18
This Scripture supports my point in the sense that; God says a righteous person is not supposed to stay stagnant in life rather move from level to level. That being said, a crucial step to receiving more from God is to live a righteous life. When you are just in the sight of God, He will elevate you and when you have elevation, you cannot exhibit jealousy; rather people would envy you.

The spirit of Holiness is one which is very potent. It is more potent than prayer and faith. Living a holy life is the master key to a world of exploits. A person who is holy also exhibits the spirit of genuine love for God and man. This being cannot harbor any acts of jealousy because a heart full of holiness and love drives out all negative attributes. So if you are thinking of how to be free of negative characters; the key is to live a holy life and be full of genuine love.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
