Avoid these Ill Fitting Clothes

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Envy

Envy is a terrible and ill-fitting garment which often clothes the wearer with great shame in the end. Apart from constantly reflecting great anger, deep seated resentment, hatred, and intents of both ill will and murder in the wearer’s facial expression, envy always puts the wearer beneath the position of the person being envied.


Though Saul was a king, his actions reduced him to a hunter and murderer of innocent souls; actions beneath the purview of a supposedly righteous King. Unfortunately, Saul died young and the David he sought to kill took over his place as King in Israel. Saul envied a young man who took a great risk to save both King Saul and the army of Israel the embarrassment and humiliation Goliath subjected them to for three days.

Envy makes the wearer bitter, always angry and ugly. The bitterness, anger, deep seated resentment and hatred reflects in the body language of the wearer giving off contorted facial and body expressions, sarcasm and invectives in verbal expressions. Beloved, envy is an ill-fitting garment and should not be worn by anyone especially people who profess a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Envy always escalates to hatred which unfortunately sometimes culminates in murder or attempted murder. You can ask Cain if you will ever find him or better still read the account of how he killed his brother Abel on account of envy in Genesis Chapter 4,

The Pharisees consistently wore it against Jesus and ended up killing Jesus. Though they allowed themselves to be used of the devil in the accomplishment of divine purpose, they lost both their positions and respect from the people.

The brothers of Joseph came close to killing Joseph because they were envious of Joseph. But for the timely intervention of Reuben, they would have killed Joseph. Please read Genesis Chapter 36. But God kept Joseph alive and in the end they bowed down to Joseph just as Joseph rightly prophesied.

Vindictiveness

Vindictiveness which is the tendency to always return evil for evil gives the wearer the very bad name of a very wicked person. Why? Because the wearer opted for retaliatory utterances or actions instead of forgiving the person or persons who hurt them.

Projecting Ill Will

Speaking evil of other people is a most ill-fitting garment. As much as possible, avoid this garment even if what you want to say about people is the truth.  People may have hurt you and you may want to speak against them. May God refrain your lips from speaking such evil in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Shalom.
