How do you feel when you see someone come up with an idea or concept similar to something you have in mind/been working on? It may even be in the office, let's say there's an assignment to come up with a solution for a client and you find out a colleague is doing something similar to yours, will you be happy for that person or something within you wishes the person gets it wrong.
While thinking along these lines recently, it occurred to me that it seems my first response when I'm in such a situation is wishing the other person comes up with something inferior to mine, and I have to consciously change my mind. Maybe you have a more righteous mind than I do, and you don't feel like that, but I do, until I consciously retune my mind.
I think the problem is the fact that somewhere in our subconscious, we think God can't make two people exceptional at the same time. Though we won't accept this consciously, but our actions often infer that God doesn't have enough resources to support two people for something big at the same time, one has to be less than the other. However, this question came into my mind, if God can support both Daddy Adeboye and Bishop Oyedepo to such great heights in the same country, what makes you think He can't support you and someone else at the highest level of excellence.
2 Chronicles 16:9a - For the eyes of the Lord search back and forth across the whole earth, looking for people whose hearts are perfect toward him, so that he can show his great power in helping them[TLB].
I think we miss out on God's power when we let our hearts wonder towards wishing evil for others for selfish reasons. I don't think a tree in the forest will have a problem with the height of another tree close by. So I know every temptation to beef another person's success is an attempt to get our eyes off God as our source, and I hope you won't let that happen, 'cos I won't. God Bless You!

What does Christmas mean to you? One of the patterns very evident in the Bible is the fact that one person can decide to attached a special significance to a routine activity and get a supernatural result. For example, many people touched Jesus the day the woman with the issue of blood did, but the touch from that woman was different, and something supernatural followed. Likewise,while Christmas has become a popular and routine celebration, you can decide to go beyond the normal and get a supernatural result even in this season.
So, while the world joins us in the celebration of the birth of our saviour and King, I'd also like you to focus on the fact that giving birth to the supernatural is at the core of the celebrations in this season. What we are celebrating is something that had never happened in creation up until that point, so if you are believing God for something big, something you don't even have any history to back up, this is a good time to plug in.
No woman had ever given birth to a child without sexual relationship with a man but with Mary, it happened for the first time. This doesn't mean anyone can just think up whatever they desire and say they want God to make it happen. A prophecy had gone forth many years before that a virgin would conceive a child, and Mary was the favoured one to fulfill it. In the same way, I believe there are prophecies relevant for this age and time waiting to be fulfilled, prophecies sitting in the Bible waiting for someone to plug in.
Acts 10:34 - Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism[NLT].
This means what God did for Mary, He can also do for you. Therefore, it's a season of joy, it's a season to merry, but it's also a season of receiving from God. If you can find and believe for it, God can do the impossible for/in you. Compliments of the Season. God Bless You!
