The thief

“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

Some thieves simply rob you of your treasures. However, they are becoming more brazen and actually kill the husband and rape the wife (common in Port Moresby in New Guinea), also becoming the more in AliceSprings Australia. 

Our enemy, the devil, seeks to maim, rob and destroy. He is after our treasure. Whatever we treasure, he seeks to steal it. Unfortunately for him, there is one treasure he cannot steal, eternal life. If we are foolish enough to value money and earthly treasure he is after that as well.

Our name, the name given to us by our God is written in the lambs book of life. Satan does not have access to that book. It must enrage him fiercely, this is why he persecutes so relentlessly.

We must seek first the kingdom of God, it’s righteousness cannot be removed from us. Jesus told his disciples to seek things above where the robber cannot break in and steal. Good advice! Amen!
