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.
