WORDSPIRED TUESDAY | ANTI-SUCCESS ATTITUDES - COVETOUSNESS | KAY DANIELS...

ECCCYI



God is in the business of opening success doors for people as we can see in 1 Corinthians 16:9



"For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries."



These open door adversaries can be termed anti-success attitudes. Attitude is a settled way of thinking or feeling about something. Attitude is not just what happens to us, but a response to what happens to us. How you see what happens.



So a strong desire to have that which belongs to another is covetousness. People kill and covet because they cannot have what they want. The go after what they want at the expense of what they need.



Being excessively desirous of the possessions of another; an extreme desire to acquire or possess.



Possessiveness, which is quite similar, is an attitude toward ownership or possession which is overprotective, selfish or hoarding.



Most people become covetous simply because they compare themselves with others:



Galatians 6:4-5 (ERV)

4 Don’t compare yourself with others. Just look at your own work to see if you have done anything to be proud of.

5 You must each accept the responsibilities that are yours.



We shall be looking at some facts about covetousness. Listen and be blessed.
