When we see other people prospering or being blessed with the good things in life, we naturally feel envious of them and wish we could have what they have. However, rather than rejoicing with those who have achieved one thing or another, we develop envy towards them, which often affects how we think about them in private.
To correct this mindset, Reverend Funke Adejumo has said that as a believer, there is no reason for you to be envious of anybody. She said God sometimes comes on late when he wants to come big. I believe what she means is that everyone has a time allotted to him or her by God, and this time is meant to achieve certain things or get some blessing that God wants to give. So, seeing someone else having what you don’t have shouldn’t make you envy him or her, but you should wait for your time.
According to the wife of the founder of Agape Christian Ministries Inc., not having the car you earnestly desire from God doesn’t mean you won’t receive it. She said the absence of evidence does not necessarily prove the absence of evidence.
The Holy Bible tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for and also the evidence of what is not yet seen, and without it, it’s impossible to please God. For this reason, every child of God should believe in God for whatever they ask from him, and at the right time, he will grant them their request.
In conclusion, she said that if you are not married, and you desire to be married, instead of being envious of those who are happily married, you should face your neighbor and tell them that although there is no ring on your finger at the moment, there will surely be one soon because not having a physical ring is not evidence of the absence of it.
