WHY YOU NEED JESUS II – Thursday November 10th
2016
Memorise: 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. John 10:10
Read: John 10:1-10 (KJV)
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
entereth not by the door
into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other
way, the same is a
thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the
door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and
the sheep hear his voice: and he
calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them
out.
4 And when he putteth forth his
own sheep, he goeth before them,
and the sheep follow him: for they know his
voice.
5 And a stranger will they not
follow, but will flee from him: for
they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto
them: but they understood not
what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them
again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I
am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me
are thieves and robbers: but the
sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any
man enter in, he shall be saved, and
shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 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.
Bible in one year:
Genesis 11:10-14:24, Psalms 101
MESSAGE
The fight against the devil is a
fight that you must win. You must make a deliberate decision to keep the devil out of your
life. There is nothing good that can come from him. Open Heavens Wednesday 10
November 2016:- Why you need Jesus II
“The thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and
to destroy. I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly.”
Jesus started categorically here that both Himself and the devil have
clear missions. Anyone who is not saved through Jesus is already a victim of
the activities and works of the devil. There are many people who have accepted
defeat from the devil; they see themselves as being unable to do anything about
the activities of the devil in their lives. The seed of Christ enables you to
overcome the devil in every aspect of life, but you must be on guard against
the devil’s activities in your lives. Thieves are always after treasures, they
bother themselves with things that are valuable and this is why you must keep
your life and guard it away from the devil.
Those who think they are enjoying what the devil has to offer are only
deceiving themselves. The devil has nothing good to offer. The devil is a thief
who comes with the evil intent to steal, kill and destroy. Majorly, he wants to
steal the heart and affections of people for God. Deception is the devil’s
greatest tool, he is a strategist in deceiving people, this is why the Bible
tells us to
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able
to stand against the wiles of the devil”
Ephesians 6:11
It is only in Jesus Christ that you can experience true riches and enjoy
the fullness of living. It is only in Christ that there are blessings that have
no link to sorrow. Those who do not allow Jesus to have a say in their lives
are only destroying themselves, because the devil will put them in total
bondage. Those who know the voice of God will follow Him because He will speak
peace into all their storms. He will set those that are in capacity free.
The Christian’s number one treasure is salvation. The salvation of your
soul is worth more than all the wealth in the world. Jesus teaches us that
nothing can be as valuable as the soul and nothing is worth being replaced with
your soul. The devil is after the salvation of our souls because thieves are
only after treasures. 10 November 2016 Open Heavens. The devil would do
anything within his power to make us lose our salvation. The challenge is to
keep our salvation even if we lose everything else.
Key Point
Those who assume that
the devil is no thief do so at their peril. Be wise.
