"You shall not covet your neighbour's house; you shall not covet your neighbour's wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox or his ass, or anything that is your neighbour's" (Exo.20:17)
"And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind" (Ecc.4:4)
Father AHAYAH, please forgive me for the sin of envy. Father, Your Word is true saying, "At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another" (Tit.3:3). Father it always appeared that others had more, that others received all the breaks and that others are more blessed. Please forgive me for overlooking the many blessings that I receive out of Your hands and for not being satisfied with what you have blessed me with. Father, sometimes I envy the spiritual gifts you have granted others and their ministries. Please forgive me for allowing discontent, jealousy and envy to creep into my life.
Thank you for the many words of wisdom we find in Bible that warns us about the dangers of envy. "Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple" (Job 5:2). Your Word instructs us to, rid ourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind (1Pet.2:1); and also warns that "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones" (Prov.14:30).
Father AHAYAH, today, in Your name and authority I renounce all envy, jealousy and covetousness in my life; and I bind and cast out all spirits of insecurity and inferiority.
Father AHAYAH, please lay the axe to the root of any and all evil within me, including envy, jealousy and covetousness. I desire to serve You with a pure heart filled with love and reverence for You, and I desire to share in the joy of my neighbours for the things you have blessed them with.
Father, please continue to instruct me and teach me Your ways. Please teach me not to focus on things of this world through endless toil to gain the riches and pleasures of this world that I see others enjoy. Father, Your Word warns that these things are soon passing away. Please help me to keep my focus on the things from above and Your Kingdom.
Thank you for the many blessing I receive from you daily. Thank you for Your love, mercy and patience with us. Father AHAYAH, I love You and long to walk with You face to face. I pray in the name of my Saviour and Redeemer, YashaYah. Aman.
