BEWARE OF THE THIEF!

 PLAN OF THE THIEF

 What is the plan of a thief? Is it not “to steal, and to kill, and to destroy?.” (John 10:10). Through your attitude and complacency, are you not cooperating with the thief to steal away your peace, health, bright future and destiny?

The thief is the enemy who operates in a variety of ways as the following examples show:

 Josephine was being troubled by the spirit of unforgiveness while Obiageli, a young, unmarried lady was so much in bondage to the spirit of immorality that she could not do without sex every day.

Pa Jacob, in his own case, was addicted to smoking, with its health hazards, just as many others are addicted to various sinful habits such as lying, backbiting, covetousness, sexual immorality and harbouring hatred. What of Patrick’s family where children drop out of school before completing secondary education and Adetobi’s family where their do not live above 40 years of age? The foregoing examples and other similar cases of experiencing delay in marriage, child bearing, promotion and progress in life are traceable to the thief who manipulates people to sin and enter in to all forms of bondage. In order to be free from any problem or bondage in your life, you need a new plan for your life.

PLAN OF GOD - ABUNDANT LIFE

Jesus said “......I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). To replace the enemy’s plan for your life with the God’s plan of abundant life, you need to take the following steps:

1. Repent, Confess and forsake your sins. (1 John 1:9).

2. Invite Jesus into your life to take over as Lord and Saviour (Rev. 3:20).

3. Confess known and unknown sins of your family and ancestors which are the root cause of family curses and bondage.

4. Renounce/Reject any evil covenants made by you or on your behalf and pray that the blood of Jesus would remove every curse and bondage.

5. Begin to confess the promises of God that you are free indeed (John 8:36) and his promised to meet your various need. (John 15:7).

6.  Sustain your victory by growing through God’s Word (Matt. 4:4; Ps. 1:1-3), Prayer (Luke 11:1-10; 18:1), Fellowship (Heb. 10:24&25) and Witnessing (John 4:28-30, 39)
