“When you take your eyes off your goals and begin to look at the progress or success of others, it gives birth to jealousy.”
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? And his brethren envied him, but his father observed the saying. Genesis 37:9-11

If your desire in life is to get to the top, you must, as a matter of necessity, avoid jealousy. Learn to celebrate the greatness and good things. What rendered the brethren of Joseph useless was the jealousy and envy they demonstrated towards Joseph. That was what kept them in the background.
Jealousy is a product of life without vision. When you take your eyes off your goals and begin to look at the progress or success of others, it gives birth to jealousy. When you take your eyes off your focus, goal, or pursuit in life, and fix it on someone else’s success or results, you open yourself to jealousy. And you know, once focus is lost, speed is lost. Once the speed is lost, success is lost. And
ultimately, when success is lost, the impact is lost.
What you do not celebrate, you will never attract. What you hate you cannot have. What you do not like you will inevitably lack. Many are where they are in life today because they do not celebrate success, progress, or good things in the lives of other people. You see, bad will is the origin of witchcraft. A man with bad will is just bitter, hateful, and resentful over another person’s lifting,
promotion, or advancement. Have you ever been around someone who is always bitter, critical, and resentful?
He deems everyone that is successful as wrong. When you see anyone who is always criticizing successful people but does not bother about failures, run away from such a person. He has the spirit of witchcraft. When you celebrate other people’s blessings and thank God on their behalf, the anointing of the Holy Spirit begins to work on you, and your mind begins to open up. God then begins to work in your life, because what you celebrate, you must attract. Whenever you exist with focus, you must proceed with speed. Wherever you focus, you must have speed. Never criticize successful people who are doing well. Do not criticize people who have testimonies, and do not allow anyone to criticize them where you are.
When you criticize other people’s success, what you are saying, in essence, is that you hate it. You do not like it. You do not want it. The more you continue in that criticism, the more calamity multiplies around you.
The Sad Story Of Jealousy: Stop It! |
If you watch and X-ray the lives of people who talk and recklessly criticize others rashly - no matter who they are - you will notice that everything about their lives is shrunken, dried-up, and shriveled. That is all because they have demonstrated that they do not like good things in their lives. Please, learn to celebrate the great things that happen in other people’s lives. You will see the same good things happen in your life too.
