Watch Yourself!

Envy is one the strongest weapon of those who are not able to conquer any great thing in life. Their concern is not with themselves but with what others are doing or conquering. The envious ones rejoice not with their success but with someone else's defeat. There's a passage in the Bible that clearly shows this situation; "Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, there came a woman having an alabaster box of a very precious ointment, and poured it on His head, as he sat eating. But when His disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor." Matthew 26.6-9.
See friends, how the disciples reacted against what the woman did, they actually are those who should have done what she did but as they were not able to then, they decided to criticize her.
My advise for you who are taking part of the Campaign of Israel and are about to lay your sacrifice on the altar, is to be careful with those who are not in the same faith like you, there's no way they can understand what you are about to do. Maybe you have lost wonderful opportunities of doing something great in life, just because you shared your private life with someone who didn't want you to succeed or didn't want you to have what they don't have. So, you better watch yourself and those who approach you. If you are to do something important in your life or you are about to make an important decision, keep it just between you and God, don't try to show others how capable you are to do things. Remember; silence is the secret of many great things in life.
There's one who doesn't want you to lay down your life and your sacrifice on the altar of God, and this one is the devil. He wants to keep on holding your life back in everything, but through your perfect sacrifice he will be obligated to let it go for good.
May God bless you and see you on the altar of God on December 13th at 11am.
