The Thief Comes To Steal, Kill and To Destroy. 

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The thief comes to kill, steal and to destroy everything that God has given you. Christ came so that you might have life and life more abundantly. In fact, John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” Christ came to set you free. 

Christ wants every area of your life to overflow with His Goodness, His Mercy and His Blessing — He wants your life to thrive and flourish. He wants you to be a blessing to others. He doesn’t want you to hoard it all for yourself. There’s a difference between greed and God’s overflow. 

Greed is selfish. Greed is man-centric. Greed does not focus on God. Greed is based in fear. Greed is based in lack. There is no fear in God. There is no lack in God. Greed is not of God. In fact, Proverbs‬ ‭10:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” God does not add sorrow — He wants you to be Blessed. 

The enemy wants to steal your harvest. The enemy wants to steal your joy. The enemy wants to steal your peace. The enemy wants to steal your stability. The enemy wants to steal everything that God has given you. Christ came to set you free from the bondage of the past and the cycle of stagnation. 

Christ is stronger than your bondage. Christ is more powerful than your struggle. John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭MSG‬‬ declares, “A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.” Christ wants to give you a life that exceeds your expectations. He wants to give you a life that overflows. Surrender to God and let Him lead every aspect of your life. 

Surrender your heart and your hands to God. Let Christ lead your character in business, in government, in private and in public, in the community and at home, in the workplace and in the Boardroom. Let God lead your decisions. Let Christ lead every aspect of your life. Build your life’s framework on His Word. Choose to build with Christ.
