The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John: 10-10
Common Enemy
When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed? May the Lord reward you well for the way you treated me today. 1 Samuel 24:19
When harmed by someone, the immediate response of most people would be reacting with negative emotions which are detrimental to any relationship.
The common source or the cause of the destruction is the lie of the enemy which is unseen to the naked eye. As the word says that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the principalities, powers and of the rulers of the dark world.
When we are led by the Holy Spirit, we are able to distinguish between the ‘carnal nature’ and the ‘divine nature’ that enables us to have self-control, just as Joseph did when he faced a trap of the enemy. When we resist the devil, we are able to overcome the plans of the evil one and he will flee from us.
Dear Lord,
We thank You for this day and seek you to live a victorious life as an overcomer because you did overcome the world. Thank You for Your word that assures us that in all these things we are more than conquerors through Jesus who loved us.. Amen
God bless you
Your obedient servants in Christ,
Theo and Manju
