The Thief Within Ourselves...

Hello...


Have you ever given thought to all thieves do not enter from the outside? But many can be easily found within ourselves.


The nature of a thief is not to announce when he will break into your home, place of business, your heart, and even your life. Reminder his strength is his ability to surprise. There are no announcements made about when he will break in; he just does. How so, you say? To begin with, his strategy starts with an element of surprise, right? The Word of God says, the enemy's purpose is strategic in stealing, killing, and destroying, and God's purpose is to give us a life filled with a satisfying end-John 10:10.

 

Not all thievery is committed by thieves found outside of one's self; there are thieves within ourselves too.


So, if we genuinely can process John 10:10 in its complete conception, one thing one can learn is that the enemy, whether from within or without, has a plan for your life called total destruction of your life.

The same weapons used by the enemy are the same weapons we adopt that are found within ourselves to fulfill the same plan the enemy has for us. For example, a few are time, commitment, consistency, integrity, and procrastination. Now, of course, this list is not exhaustive but does represent a good representation of things that can steal one away from God's purpose for life that is satisfying and abundant.


The question I pose is, why are we helping the enemy on the outside bring his plan for our destruction to fruition? You must know the enemy hates you, right? So why waste our life as thieves of our time, commitment, consistency, integrity, and procrastination. I challenge you in knowing and believing that God's plan for your life is better. 


The plan of the enemy in John 10:10 is a living reality with a deadly purpose. 


Blessed Abundance,
Sylvia Joyner
