TEXT: "...but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise" (2Cor 10:12b)
Good morning beloved child of God. I want to emphasize again that praise is a tool in the hand of a believer to command the supernatural. When praise becomes part of you, God's blessing becomes your constant experience; you won’t have to struggle for it. Men that are addicted to praise don’t run out of the blessings of God. This shall be your experience from today, in Jesus name.
There are enemies that we must avoid if we will experience wonders of praise. Yesterday we mentioned offense as one of these enemies. What more?
2. COMPARISON
Another enemy to praise is Comparison. King David almost fell victim of this enemy (Read his account in Ps 73:12-17). To be honest with you, there is no ungodly man I have ever or will ever envy no matter how "successful" he is. Even among believers, don't envy another man’s blessing, your destinies are not the same! The Bible says: "For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise” (2 Cor 10:12).
Below are the reason why comparison is dangerous:
1. Comparison will make you disregard the blessing of God in your life. The Bible says: “Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up” (Ps 28:5). That will not be your portion in Jesus name. You are uniquely made. There is no two you in the whole universe, pls get it clear. Desiring to be like someone else is a sign of ingratitude and this could ruin your life and destiny. You will not be a victim, in Jesus name.
2: Comparison make you get offended, both in God and in man as mentioned yesterday. Cain wouldn’t have ended the way he did if he had not become envious of his brother's offering that was accepted by God. He was trapped by envy and his destiny went for it. Don't ever compare your life with anybody else’s. It will stop you from praising God genuinely and until your praise is offered to God genuinely, it doesn't guarantee returned blessing.
PRAYER: The grace to be focused on God and not to be distracted by what happens to others is yours today in Jesus name!
DAILY CONFESSION: This year 2022, I am more than conqueror by the Power of the Holy Spirit therefore I shall continue to celebrate all through the year, hallelujah!
