The Cleric in charge of Christ Salvation and Miracles Centre, Ughelli; Prophet Abel Okwori has admonished Christians to live a life that is valuable to God so that they could be worthy of the jealousy of God.
He gave the admonition in a sermon he delivered last Sunday during the church service.
Prophet Abel said everything one is jealous of is what you love, desire and like to acquire
“No one is in love or jealous of a snake.
“The most desirable substance of a man that he could be dangerously jealous of is his wife. Because the wife is essential to the husband he would be jealous of her.
“That is how God is to man. He created man to worship Him and hence He is very jealous and provoked to jealousy when man serves other gods.
“Whatsoever a man does not have value for, he does not jealous. There is no physical representative of Satan the Devil on earth but since God created man in his own image he is jealous of him. And hence God says his thought on man is good and not evil.
“When a woman makes a man happy, obeys him and does what pleases him he loves her, makes provisions for her and is jealous of her .
“The man most times shows evidence of violent jealousy after his wife when another man crosses her path. That is how God is also very jealous of man. If God is not jealous of you, your safety in life is not guaranteed.
“If you are in the church and at the same time take refuge and consultation with other sources of power on earth, in the water, in the air and bow down and worship them..then you have contravened the commandments of God as recorded in Exodus 20: 3, which says ” I am the Lord thy God…thou shall have no other God before me…”
“If you worship the wood you are like the wood and the wood will kill you out of jealousy
“If you are hated by God, God will not be jealous of you and your life will have no value.” He exhorted.
