Stop the robbery

(John 10:10 KJV) 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


The devil is committed to stealing, killing, and destroying. He has never changed his mission on earth in any way. He is relentless in his effort. However, the good news is that you do not have to be subject to his mission. Jesus has defeated the devil so that you can walk in absolute victory in life.

You have the power to stop the operations of the devil. If the devil steals anything from you, it is because you allowed it. You have what it takes to allow or disallow. God is not only expecting you to stop the devil's operation in your life but also in the lives of the people around you.

Jesus came with the life of God. Every believer partakes in this kind of life. God, the Father of spirits now shares His genes and traits with our spirits through His life.

You have all the characteristics of God, which puts you in a position to end the works of darkness. Your world is waiting on you to stop the forces of hell. End the devil's work today, through your faith, love and the power of the Holy Spirit.


DAILY SCRIPTURE READING: John 10:1-18.




MY DAILY CONFESSION

Jesus has paid the price for my total freedom in life. I have been bought with a price. Therefore, I glorify God in my body and spirit, which are God's. For sin, I have received righteousness. For sickness, I have health. And for poverty, I have abundance.

Jesus knew no sin but He became sin that I might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Jesus Himself bore my griefs, sicknesses, weaknesses and distress, and carried my sorrows and pains; He was wounded for my transgressions, bruised for my iniquities, the chastening for my peace and well-being fell upon Him and with His stripes I am healed.

I know the grace of my Lord Jesus Christ. Though He was very rich, yet, He became very poor in order that I can be made rich through His poverty. I shall not frustrate the grace of God because I am walking in the fullness of my redemptive rights.

I stand fast in the liberty I have received as a child of God. I will not be entangled any longer in the yoke of slavery. I am totally free from every oppression of the evil one.
