REAL STEALING 2

Text : John 10:10

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly.

Jesus Christ came so you may have life and have it abundantly. This is the main reason Jesus came, to give life eternal. 

For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.John 3:16 NET .

Also,  it was recorded in 1Jn 3:8 that for this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. And we have established yesterday what the three major works of the devil are : steal, kill,  and destroy. 

For everything the devil has stolen in your life,  I decree a multiple restoration . For everything that have died,  I  decree divine resurrection in your life in Jesus name.

Though we know that the devil is the *real thief* but he doesn't come in person because he knows no one will welcome him , so he comes in form of a shepherd,  teacher,  prophet etc,  and his ultimate goal is to kill and destroy. 

False teachers are thieves who may claim to offer salvation, but their intentions are not good. Jesus had earlier told some unbelievers, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44). Ultimately, these false teachers/thieves are carrying out Satan’s intentions. Rather than bring life, they bring death. Rather than give, they steal. Rather than build up, they pull down.

Dealing with spiritual thieves is a serious matter. Twice, Paul told the Galatians that “if anybody is preaching to you another gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!” (Galatians 1:8–9). There is only one gospel, and that is the message of Jesus’ death and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3–5). Any other so-called gospel is to be rejected.

We are not free of false teachers today. Peter wrote, “There will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed, these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping” (2 Peter 2:1–3).

 *Watch out,  don't be defrauded by the thieves parading as shepherds whose main goal is to steal, kill and destroy.* 

Bible reading: John 10:1-21.
