PUT AWAY ENVY AND STRIFE

“For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” James 3:16(KJV)

From our opening scripture, the Word of God is letting us know some of the devices of the devil. And He says, “… where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” Therefore, you must get rid of all envy and strife from your life.

A lot of married couples do not know that when they quarrel with each other, that strife between them becomes an open door for satan to enter that home.  This is because, “… where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.”

The word confusion refers to commotion. When you are in strife as married couples or there is strife in a family, etc. it means that the devil can come in there and do anything. That strife is an open door to the enemy who will bring in commotion and every evil work. All kinds of demonic activities will begin to happen in that home because they are ignorant of the devils devices.

As a man you cannot be praying to make progress in your life and then be beating up your wife, and at the same time you are wondering why your prayer has not been answered. You are the one hindering your own prayers by allowing bitterness and strife into your home by not honoring your wife.

1 Peter 3:7(WNT) says, “Married men, in the same way, live with your wives with a clear recognition of the fact that they are weaker than you. Yet, since you are heirs with them of God's free gift of Life, treat them with honour; so that your prayers may not be hindered.”

PRAYER
Dear Father I choose to accept your Word as final authority in my life. Therefore as I begin to make the necessary adjustment and banish all envy and strife from my life, may I begin to experience victory and the liberty of your Spirit in every area of my life and in my home in Jesus Name. Amen.
