Apostles are Targets of Envy and Jealousy Some of the Jews, seeing the crowds, went wild with jealousy and tore into Paul, contradicting everything he was saying, making an ugly scene. (Acts 13:45). Any minister that touches the multitudes will become the target of religious envy. Many will oppose apostolic ministry for this reason only. Leaders who fear losing their people or who are insecure in their position will accuse and attack true apostolic ministry. Anyone who has power to move multitudes of people for the Kingdom of God will become a target of the enemy. This is apart of the warfare associated with apostolic ministry. Apostles have the grace to deal with this opposition. They have a supernatural ability to overcome it and continue in spite of it. Satan stirs up envy and jealousy against true apostles. Religious church leaders are usually the greatest opponents to true apostolic ministry. Envy and jealousy can turn into cruel acts against anointed ministry. However, apostles have the ability to be successful in the midst of envy and jealousy. - Apostle John Eckhardt
