Put away envy and strife

Put away envy and strife.

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

Today, I want to encourage you to get rid of envy and strife from your life. This is because according to the Word of God “… where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.”

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 their home.  This is because allowing envy and strife in your home is inviting confusion and every evil work.

The word confusion refers to commotion. When you are in strife with your spouse or if 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 devil's devices.

As a married man, you cannot be beating up your wife and then be wondering why your prayer to make progress in life is not been answered.

You are the one hindering your own prayers by allowing bitterness and strife into your home.

The Bible says in 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 including banishing 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.

James 3:14-18, Galatians 5:19-25,

Doing the Word
Let go of all envy and strife.
