COVETEOUSNESS Sun, Jul 15, 2012 9:56 PM BST COVETEOUSNESS COVETEOUSNESS is a "gods". It is the anxious desire to be like others or to have what others have by all means. Devil has used and he's still using this to ensnare and destroy many lives. Like pride, it can be acquired either by inheritance, peer influence or from the pit of hell. The coveteousness of parents can ignite their children. An act of coveteousness is followed by stealing, from stealing to armed robbery. AQUISITION BY INHERITANCE A home where there is no Christ Jesus, there you will find different forms of crisis of which is coveteousness. Look at Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5vs1-10, they very coveteous. Itis of no doubt that same trait can be transferred to their generation if immediate judgement was not executed by God, the Holy Spirit. Some parent give their children huge amount of money as "pocket money" while they are still in Primary Schools or Secondary Schools, when the tide turns, the children will not be satisfied with the turning of the tide, they will still expect same huge amount of money from their parent. Inability to meet their immediate needs as usual makes them to steal. If you as a parent find yourself in this, you are build a gods in your wards' life and will definitely be difficult to erase. AQUISITION BY PEER INFLUENCE Romans 12vs2 says "And be not conformed to this world............". Conformity to the things and attitude of people in the world is also known as COVETEOUSNESS. There are various people out there, both good and bad. To whom you follow determines your conformity, either to the world or to Christ Jesus. Peer influence affects everybody, both young and old, big and small, tall and thin people. It is either it affects you positively or negatively, depending on your choice. In 2 Kings 2vs23-24, you will notice how peer influence destroyed the lives of the little children that mocking Elijah. Itbrought to them mysterious death. We learnt in the scripture that the little children mocked Elijah. WHY DID THEY MOCK ELIJAH? The truth is that, mocking people might have become their behaviour which must have been gotten by peer influence. The prophet commanded she-bear to devour them alive. WHAT A MYSTERIOUS DEATH! Do you know that both boys and girls, men and women, young and old covet abusing people? You can not covet any behaviour without the influence of anybody. This is why we must be careful of choice of friends we make at home, office, churches,etc The consequences of coveteousness do not show up instantly, but will eventually show up. It is just that you can not predict when it will show up, as we learnt in 2 Kings 2vs23-24. The little children never expected that kind of mysterious death at that point in time. You had better quit before the consequences come upon you and ASK FOR MERCY.
