John 10:10(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).
There is power behind every evil habit;
your ability to overcome those forces that control individuals to engage in
evil acts is what makes you a conqueror. Any area of your life you are
able to control, you conquer it. Satan is the one behind those works of
darkness; he is the slave master and you need to get off his hook. I decree,
his power over your life is broken today in Jesus name. Whenever you are doing
something that you cannot do in the open because you know deep inside you that
it is evil against God and man but yet you can’t help yourself, which means the
controller is at work in your life. Redemption has set you free from satanic
bondage; you are no longer a slave to sin; Jesus Christ has set you free; sin
has no power over you anymore.
In this segment of our topic, we are
looking at how to conquer the controlling power of stealing. Our anchor
scripture (John 10:10) has already told us who the thief is; his
name is Satan and stealing is his number one ministry and anyone who engages in
it automatically becomes his slave. John 8:33(They answered him, we be
Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how says thou, ye shall
be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the
house for ever: but the son abideth ever. 36 If the son therefore shall make
you free, ye shall be free indeed). Stealing is satanic property, at
new birth you have been set free and empowered to drop it; hanging unto it is
what has kept you in one place; drop it and move forward. The bible says 2
Corinthians 5:17(Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold all things are become new). The bible
also says in (John 1:12) that as many that believed
and received him he gave them power to become the son of God. If you are a son
or a daughter of God then you need to manifest after your father. John
8:44a (Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will
do). Part of his lust is stealing. Friends, note that, there is no
small stealing; even keeping back someone’s change is stealing. Taking someone
else's things without permission is stealing. Sin is addictive, so do stealing;
please don’t play around it because it will drag you in. This applies to
everyone, both the believer and unbeliever. If you are a believer and find
yourself in this kind of habit, you need to pray very hard and go back to the
word of God. John 8:47(He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore
here them not, because ye are not of God). Say to yourself, I will
start hearing the word of God from now henceforth. The fear of God is the
number one weapon to conquer any controlling power of sin; those who fear God
obey His commandment. The consequence of stealing is severe both here on earth
and in hell. When engaging in this act you stall your destiny and then attract
curses to yourself. The spirit of covetousness is what causes people to steal.
Let’s look at the example of Gehazi the Elisha’s servant who could not get his
eyes off Namaan’s gift until he coveted Namaan’s leprosy for his entire
generation (2 Kings 5). Achan brought calamity to the camp of
Israel because of covetousness and then all his family perished with him (Joshua
7). A thief cannot receive blessing from the LORD. There is one bible
verse that scares me and I want to share it with my readers; someone will be
set free right now in Jesus name. Zechariah 5:1(Then I turned, and lifted
up mine eyes and looked, and behold a flying roll. 2 And he said unto me, what
seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty
cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. 3 then said he unto me, this is a
curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that
stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that
sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. 4 I will bring it
forth, saith the LORD of hosts and it shall enter into the house of the thief,
and of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain he midst of
his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones
thereof). Every sin has its consequence and the above scriptures are
instant judgment for a thief; a flying curse going around the earth and looking
for the house of a thief to enter. It is a generational curse that does not
only affect the offender but his whole family; that’s exactly what happened to
Achan and Gehazi. The good news is that Jesus Christ has come to redeem us from
curse and whoever he set free is free indeed and he or she will no longer be a
slave to sin. Another way to be free from the spirit of covetousness is to be
content, learn to be satisfied with what you have and trust God for a change of
story while working hard with your hands. The bible says that you shall know
the truth and the truth shall set you free; the truth you have received from
this message will set you free in Jesus name. Salvation is the first step
towards the life of freedom; so, hurry up and take this bold step today and be
free in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus,
I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
