OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 26 AUGUST 2024 MESSAGE:
Covetousness is the desire to have what others have, and it can lead a fellow down a dangerous path if care is not taken.
One of the most famous verses about covetousness is found in Exodus 20:17; this verse is clear in its message: “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.”
When you covet what others have, you become focused on what you do not have, instead of being grateful for what you have.
Colossians 3:5 says: “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:”
From the text above, we can see that covetousness can become an idol in a fellow’s life, taking the place of God and leading him or her down a path away from Him.
The dangers of covetousness are numerous. Covetousness can lead to envy and jealousy, which can destroy relationships and cause divisions.
It can also lead to a life of dissatisfaction, unhappiness, greed, and selfishness.
Beloved, rather than covet what others have, be grateful for all God has blessed you with, and trust in His provision for your future.
