The Attitude of Jealousy

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:

Song of Solomon 8:6 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

People are jealous of three things…
Possessions
Position
Personality

The Bible has a lot to say about Jealousy & Envy
Romans 1:29-30
Galatians 5:19-21

Where is Jealousy Found?
In Families – Gen. 37:3, 4, 11
In Politics 1 Sam. 18:5-9
In Churches – 1 Cor: 1.10-17

What Does Jealousy Do?
Separates People from People – 1 Cor. 3:3

Becomes Master of your Life – Esther 7:10

How can One be Delivered from Jealousy?
Admit you have a problem
Confess your need to God

Jealousy is SIN.
Deal with it before it destroys you emotionally, spiritually, & physically
