SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS..
You will realise that some of the people you think are for you will never be happy when they see you succeed. Don’t think everyone is happy about your success.
Some of the people want to see you struggling with nothing to do and nothing to eat.
When The king of Babylon appointed a man called _Gedaliah over the land_ .. over the men the women and everyone who had remained in the land guess what happened
When the commanders of the Army and the people had all about this. They decided to do something bad and irrational to the true purpose of friendship . They came to Him at a place called Mizhap. They came with a friendly notion of view that they are for Him yet instead some of them were not absolutely for Him in any sense. Jeremiah 40:7-8[7]Now when all the captains of the forces that were in the open country [of Judah] and their men heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah son of Ahikam governor in the land [of Judah] and had committed to him men, women, and children, those of the poorest of the land who had not been taken into exile to Babylon,[8]They went to Gedaliah at Mizpah–Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
And as a result. Ishmael assinated the one who had been appointed by the king of Babylon Jeremiah 41:1-2[1]NOW IN the seventh month [of that year] Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal descendants and one of the princes of the king, came [at the instigation of the Ammonites] with ten men to Gedaliah son of Ahikam in Mizpah. As they were eating a meal together there in Mizpah,
[2]Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him arose and struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword and killed him, the one whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land. [II Kings 25:25.]
