Positive Quote for the Week: Congratulate when others get blessed
“Don’t hate when others are getting blessed, all that means is you could be next!” Erica Willis
It can be a challenging thing to be happy for the people around you that are getting blessed left and right while you are still waiting for your prayer to be answered. It seems like you’ve been praying for the same thing forever and nothing has changed!
Be excited for those that are getting blessed because what that means is that the Lord is still in the business of rewarding His children and you could very well be next. These moments are perfect opportunities that you can use to develop your faith. What does the Word of God say about your situation and what you are believing the Lord for? Stand firm on the His promises as you begin to speak and proclaim them over your life!
God is not a man that lies; if He said it He is faithful to do it, Numbers 23:19. The Lord’s Word provides us with His rules and regulations that we want to strive to follow. When we stand on His Word and are abiding by His Biblical law, we qualify for the many Blessings listed in the Bible.
Unfortunately because we don’t have a clear understanding of what God’s Word says we don’t comprehend why our prayers are not being answered. So what ends up happening is we develop hatred and jealousy in our hearts for the people around us that are getting Blessed. Don’t hate but congratulate because what that means is you could very well be receiving your Blessing next!
Scripture on refraining from envy and jealousy:
Proverbs 3:31 “Do not envy the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.”
Proverbs 14:30 “A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones.”
Proverbs 27:4 “Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent, but who is able to stand before jealousy?”
Romans 13:13 “Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.”
