Jealousy, an evil spirit:

It started in the garden… “And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth and his countenance fell…And it came to pass…that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.” (Genesis 4:4-5, 8)

It was even in the palace… “And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands…And Saul eyed David from that day and forward…And there was a javelin in Saul’s hand. And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.” (1 Samuel 18:7, 9-11)

Beware, when the Lord blesses you, others may become jealous! Some people may kill, cheat, and lie when they are jealous. Jealousy is an evil spirit.

Sometimes, when your ministry is blessed, others may be jealous. I learned a long time ago that when I see someone get blessed, rejoice with them! Our blessing is coming!!
