The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. – John 10:10(NLT)
RECEIVE A RICH LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
What does the enemy steal from you?
God promises a rich and a life renewed
Satan will try to kill and destroy your new life
Anchor your whole faculties to Jesus Christ.
Receive the blessings and satisfaction he can bring
Allow yourself to enjoy life, worship him and sing
He is powerful over than the spirit in this world
You can overcome and triumph if you obey his word
________________________________________
There are many occasions that I wasn’t even aware that I have an enemy whose purpose is to steal, kill and destroy me. For many years, I fought this evil within me by my own effort. I take things personally which have crippled me physically, emotionally and spiritually for many decades. Then the word of God convicted me in John 10:10 that brought out in the light all the evil schemes of the enemy. I learned that people were not my foe. It was the devil using those around me, especially those who I am in relationship with to destroy, kill and steal from me. I need not shout at him “Get thee out from me” always. I can fight this wicked creature with the love of Jesus and declare truth aloud so he can’t lie to me.

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. – John 10:10 (NLT)
SIGNS OF A STOLEN LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you wake up each day with a grateful heart?
Do you have a cheerful attitude as a start?
Are you amazed at the wonderful things God has given you?
Do you protect your heart and is your mind constantly renewed?
The thief comes to destroy relationships and steal joy and peace
Resentments, bitterness, anger, conflicts, guilt are what he likes to sneak
God wants to fill us with his blessings and promises
Watch out for the thief who makes us settle for compromises.
Thieves usually operate when no one is looking or they wait for the right timing when their victim is unaware or vulnerable and weak. In life, we lock our doors to ensure that we don’t invite thieves to steal from us or hurt us. In the spiritual realm, how do we protect ourselves from the enemy?
The bible tells us the signs of a stolen life: unhappiness, bitterness, complaining, loneliness, discontentment, chaos, poverty, conflicts, harshness, anger, selfishness, pride and many more. Watch out when there is no peace, joy, and love in your life. This means that the enemy has corrupted your hearts or minds.
PRAYER
Lord, protect and guard me from evil.
REFLECTION
How do we protect ourselves from the thief that steals our joy and peace?
