The Top Fifteen Things that destroys the purpose and life of Mankind (4)

Loved one in Christ Jesus, I believe you are growing in the Lord. This is lesson four on my teachings, the top fifteen things that limit the purpose of humankind. In lesson one, I explained that the love for money and lust for power limits the purpose of men and women in life.

In lesson two, I explained that abnormal sexual intercourse places an embargo on men’s (includes women) destiny. In lesson three, I explained that the tongue limits the purpose of men and women in life. In this lesson, I will unveil to you one of the invisible viruses the devil uses to limit the purpose of humankind.

The Weapon of Jealousy

Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

Song of Solomon 8:6 KJV

Solomon, the son of David and the mother of Bathsheba, makes us understand that jealousy is as wicked as the spirit of hell and the grave. Anyone who has a jealous mindset is in the same category as the spirit of hell, grave, and death.

People who are extremely jealous of the other people’s success carries the spirit of hell, grave, and death. Can you imagine a man or a woman who carries the spirit of these three wicked spirits (hell, death, and grave)?

This should let you understand that anytime you see a boy, guy, husband, man or a girl, lady, wife, a woman who is always jealous of people's progress and wealth, such a person carries these evil spirits (death, hell, and grave).

If an individual carries the spirit of death, hell, and grave, then it means such a person can kill physically, emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically without compassion. I hate people who are jealous of other people’s progress and wealth. When I discern that you are a jealous person, my spirit will begin to distance himself from you.

Most often, extremely jealous people are blind witches. Until these blind witches and wizards destroy, they are never satisfied. Jealousy is rampant in the continent of Africa. When an African sees another African flourishing, they become jealous and angry. This is one reason most Africans cannot unite.

Kwame Nkrumah tried to unite African countries, and they dethroned him (coup d’état). Some of the leaders in the European countries were involved in this conspiracy. Do you think some developed countries will allow Africa to unite (United States of Africa)?  Some past African leaders tried to unite the continent of Africa and some leaders conspired and assassinated them. Jealousy is killing many potential leaders.

Even in some churches, some followers can destroy the founder of the church and take over. That is the spirit of jealousy! It destroys and confuses a peaceful environment. This is one reason most African countries cannot develop. In politics, religious bodies, families, organization, and the house of God, jealousy reigns.

For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

James 3:16 KJV

From the scriptures, Apostle James makes us understand that wherever jealousy is, every evil work. This means the spirit of jealousy opens the portal for other wicked demons to get access to an environment. I believe one of the key reasons most African countries cannot develop is because of jealousy.

Church leaders are fighting other churches and servants of Gods. Politicians are fighting the opposition party. Employees are destroying the reputation of fellow workers all because of jealousy, temporal power, money, and fame. Know these truths.

I hope these few revelations will challenge you to repent and seek deliverance. Solomon, one of the wisest men that ever lived, makes us understand that jealousy (envy) destroys the body of men. You can read for yourself.

A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

Proverbs 14:30 KJV

This means jealousy can lead to sickness. I remember I saw an older man in a wheelchair struggling alone in the town of Koforidua on a scorching afternoon. As I observed this helpless older man struggling in his wheelchair along the roadside, the Spirit of God told me that the spirit of unforgiveness and jealousy (hell, grave, and hell) are the ones responsible for this man's condition. I could discern into the life of the older man struggling in the wheelchair that some people did something against him.

This man refused to forgive the people who offended him. Because of that, evil spirits got access to his life. Second, the older man had the spirit of jealousy. He could not stand people’s progress. Because of that, evil spirits collaborated with his household enemies, witches, and wizards to paralyze him in the wheelchair. His family and loved ones abandoned him because no one could come near him. He was reaping the evil seeds he sowed.

Some people are carrying the spirit of jealousy. Because of this evil spirit, they cannot advance in life. Jealous people cannot stand the progress of others. When they see that someone is progressing in life, they visit shrines and bribe evil traditional priests to issue curses on the successful people in their family and neighbourhood.

In most African countries, it happens in many families, churches, and organizations. Jealousy has opened the door for the spirit of witchcraft to dominate and corrupt the souls and spirits of many people. When people see that your business is operating successfully, they will begin to suspect you. Either they compete with you or destroy your reputation with false information.

People who slander others activate the curses of God. Treachery is a great evil in God’s sight. The holy scripture declares that whosoever rewards evil for good; evil shall never depart from his house.

Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

Proverbs 17:13 KJV

This is one of the principal reasons people cannot advance in life. We do not limit jealousy to only African countries. The problem is that jealousy is rampant in many African countries. Most Africans will allow foreigners to succeed in their country than to allow their citizens to flourish. Most Africans migrate to other countries because of jealousy.

The spirit of jealousy is limiting the progress of African businesses, leaders, and countries. If “Party A” builds a project, “Party B” will never encourage “Party A” because of jealousy. We (Africans and Christians) must stop this behaviour (destructive democracy system) and become one (National agenda). Let us stop the racism because it breeds jealousy and strife.

Most African leaders and citizens need a lot of education (deliverance of the mind) and spiritual deliverance (intercession) because the spirit and mindset of jealousy are jeopardizing our growth. Until we become one, we will never grow.

I wrote and published a book, “How to Write and Publish Books,” because I could discern in my spirit that the spirit of jealousy was burning in some people. I could discern in the spirit that people suspected my progress. I need to break this mindset by teaching people how I write my books. That is Africa for you. 

I believe if I were a citizen of the United States of America or a different country, the citizens (the church, leaders and organization) would support me. Most African leaders can voice out the solutions, but they will never enforce the solution. That is Africa. If you are not strong, people will break you. We must change!

Most religious and organizational leaders in Africa are strict because of our condition. People are full of jealousy. Most Christian leaders in Africa emphasize spiritual warfare because of our condition. If you joke with the black witches, wizards, and secret evil societies, you are dead! 

Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

Proverbs 27:4 KJV

King Solomon further states that no man or woman can stand an individual or a group of people that carries the spirit of jealousy. This is a profound statement. The spirit of jealousy makes men and women dangerous in an environment. It is better to be with an angry man than to be with a jealous man or woman. Jealous people are always quarrelsome and full of vengeance.

For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

Proverbs 6:34 KJV

Let us be careful of people who are carrying the spirit of jealousy because they will not spare us when we make a mistake on their path. They will use their temporal power and connections to destroy us when we unconsciously offend them. If you carry a jealous spirit, repent, cast that spirit of jealousy out of your life in the name of Jesus Christ, or seek deliverance because jealousy is a dangerous spirit that makes you destructive.

Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecclesiastes 4:4 KJV

Solomon concludes that jealousy is emptiness. It is like chasing the wind. Jealousy places you on the arena of the blind. Blind people walk without direction because they cannot see ahead. That is how jealousy works.

If you are jealous of people's progress, you fall into the category of the blind. Jealousy will blind your spiritual senses (discernment, vision, dream, and spiritual gifts). You become blind in the spiritual realm when the spirit of jealousy dominates you. 

Blindness in the spiritual realm is a great limitation to your spiritual growth. Jealousy makes you a great asset in the kingdom of darkness and a great liability on the kingdom of light. It hinders your productivity and opportunities.

Do you know that the religious people (Pharisees, Sadducees, Sanhedrin’s, Scribes, Jews) and gentiles joined with the Romans to crucify Jesus Christ because of jealousy? Read for yourself.

Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

Matthew 27:15-18 KJV

Pilate discerned that the Pharisees and the unbelievers desired Jesus died because of jealousy! Jealousy made the religious people, and the unbelievers opposed their redeemer. Jealousy blinded the religious people and unbelievers to the extent of favouring a murderer (Barabbas)! Jealousy can push you to make destructive decisions.

Jealousy can make a man or a woman favour his sworn enemy and kill his deliverer. Jealousy made the Jews and gentiles hate their Lord and Saviour (Jesus Christ) without reason. Jealousy made the unbelievers cursed themselves and their generation (See Matthew 27:19-26).

Many countries and organizations have lost their valuable leaders and saviours because of jealousy. Jealousy has led a nation and a group of people to destroy the business and treasures of citizens that could save their country. I believe you know the impact of world war one and two.

The brothers of Joseph could not stand the dream (glory) of Joseph because of jealousy. They planned to kill Joseph because of jealousy. They sold Joseph to the Midianites, not knowing that Joseph was their Saviour (See Genesis 37:4-28). Are you selling your saviour because of jealousy? Think twice!

The princes and the presidents sought to kill Daniel because of Jealousy. The leaders who planned to kill Daniel ended up with their families in the lion's den. Daniel’s enemies perished in the mouth of hungry lions because of jealousy. I have good news for you. Those who are planning against you will fall into their trap in Jesus name! (See Daniel 6:1-28). Declare this prophetic Word now!

• Oh Lord, contend with those that contend me in Jesus name!
• Oh Lord, contend with those that contend with my children in Jesus name!
• Oh Lord, feed my oppressors with their own flesh in Jesus name!
• Oh Lord, let my sworn enemies drink their own blood and chew their own meat in Jesus name!

I extracted these prophetic declarations from the holy scriptures.

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Isaiah 49:24-26 KJV

God and His angels must confirm the Word because God hastens to perform His Word (See Jeremiah 1:11-12). Out of Jealousy, Cain murdered his brother Abel. God cursed Cain because the blood of Abel cried from the ground. There is a curse on anyone who destroys others with the spirit of jealousy. God issues a curse of any man or woman who destroys his fellow neighbour out of jealousy.

Cain became a vagabond because of his jealous heart. Jealousy led him to murder his brother in cold blood. Joab killed Abner in cold blood because of envy (See 2 Samuel 3:24-27). This means the spirit of jealousy causes men and women to kill.

We must understand that the spirit of jealousy creates suicidal thoughts because the spirit of death, hell, and grave are unmerciful. As I said, it was out of envy that made Cain killed Abel in cold blood. Who taught Cain how to kill another human being? Who taught Cain that a man could die through murder? 

It was the mindset of jealousy that gave license to the spirit of death to control Cain's mind. Be careful you don’t murder an innocent person out of jealousy. God will place an invisible curse on you if you destroy others through jealousy. Like He did to Cain (See Genesis 4:5-8).

King Saul and his followers died on a battlefield because of Saul’s jealousy. Read for yourself.

Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.

And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.

Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.

1 Samuel 31:1-6 KJV

King Saul tried many times to kill David but to no avail. Jealousy opened the portal for evil spirits to torment King Saul. King Saul was always depressed and full of fear because of jealousy. King Saul died prematurely because of jealousy. His son, who should have reigned as the next king, also died.

We must understand the spirit of jealousy has a significant impact on our life and family. You may not see and experience the consequences now, but as time passes, the fruit of jealousy you sowed will harvest on your children or family members.

It is not a curse; it is a seed you have sowed. The Bible states that we will reap what we have sowed (See Galatians 6:7-8). The harvest for jealousy is premature death. The scripture bears a record of all the people who walked with the spirit of jealousy.

Think of Lucifer; God used his archangels to dethrone him from his position. The ultimate home for Satan and his followers are the lake of fire. Judas Iscariot hanged himself because the spirit of jealousy tormented him. God used an angel to stroke Herod because of jealousy. Herod died and worms fed on his corpse because of jealousy (See Acts 12:20-23). 

God killed Pharaoh and his followers in the red sea because Pharaoh operated with the spirit of jealousy. The list goes on. Because of King Saul’s jealousy, the Spirit of God departed from him. Don’t allow the spirit of jealousy to destroy your life and family! (See 1 Samuel 18:8-30; 1 Samuel 19:8-24; 1 Samuel 20:24-34).

Jezebel and his husband Ahab died prematurely because of Ahab’s jealousy. Jezebel conspired and assassinated Naboth because her husband carried a jealous spirit. King Ahab possessed Naboth’s land after they stoned Naboth to death.

Because of Jezebel wicked act (whoredom witchcraft, and wickedness), God commanded Elijah to send His divine judgment on Ahab and Jezebel. Jezebel and Ahab died like animals. Animals fed on their corpse because they walked with the spirit of jealousy. 

Be careful you don’t die prematurely because of jealousy. Dogs and flies licked the blood and fed on the lifeless body of Ahab and Jezebel because of jealousy! Don’t become a victim! Don’t allow the spirit of jealousy to dominate you and end up in your untimely grave (See 1 Kings 21:1-29, 2 Kings 22:1-40).

There is another dimension of jealousy. I call this godly jealousy, as Apostle Paul stated. This jealousy is justifiable because it emanates from the Holy Spirit. Let’s read.

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:2 KJV

This jealousy is not evil because it protects one from evil. For example, parents become jealous when their children befriend unrepentant wicked people. The parent will use their sanctified jealousy to protect their child from the destroyer because they know the consequences. God becomes jealous when we idolize something above Him.

If God possesses sanctified jealousy, and He created us in His image and likeness, we (children of God) will exhibit this kind (godly) of jealousy. Remember, this jealousy does not lead to sin. Meditate on these scriptures for more wisdom keys.

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

Psalm 37:1 KJV

Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

Proverbs 3:31 KJV

A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

Proverbs 14:30 KJV

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

Proverbs 23:17 KJV

Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

Proverbs 24:1 KJV

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

Romans 13:13 KJV
