COVET NOT!!! 1 Samuel 8: 20

The moment you start longing and thirsting for what others have, trouble starts knocking, what you have no longer count.

My niece always wanted this tight trouser like that of her friend, my mum got her two, she liked them that she wears them almost every day until she saw another friend who’s own was very tight then she said she doesn’t want anyone because they are big, she wants another that is as tight as the new girl’s own.

Our wants keep changing when we keep shining our eyes on other’s property. That was the case with the Israelites when they demanded for a king not respecting the fact that they had the greatest of all kings (1 Sam 12:12b) because they’ve seen how it is done in every other nation, they don’t mind what the word of the Lord was against their request, they insisted on settling for less, they care less on the outcome of giving up the best.

They wanted a change of taste badly, are you that desperate?

Sometimes, what seems good on others might not necessarily be good for you, KEEP OFF.
