Scripture: Judges 6:1-6
“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 (KJV)
The Bible warns against giving room to the enemy
because he will take full advantage of the opportunity T(Eccl. 10:8). This warning is to protect you from the
devil whose aim is not just to trouble but to destroy you. He
steals what you have, kills your potential and
leaves you
hopeless. This is why it is imperative that we give no room to
the devil (Eph. 4:27)
When the Israelites turned against God, they opened the
door to be delivered into the hands of the Midianites. The
Midianites were not out to merely oppress them but to
destroy them. They didn’t just steal their crops, they
destroyed all that was left so that Israel had nothing. They
also came in with the Amalekites, who were enemies of
Israel, to devastate the land. The Israelites were forced to live
in caves like animals. If you let the enemy in, he will show no
mercy. He will come with sickness, poverty, heartbreak, and
disasters more than you can bear. His aim is to lead you
down the path of destruction.
Be watchful (1 Pet. 5:8). Do not give an inch to the devil. Live
a life that safeguards you from the onslaught of the enemy.
One way to do this is to live above sin. If you have opened the
door to the enemy in any way, repent now and turn back to
God. Jesus promises you life in abundance if you turn to him
and obey his commandments (Jn. 10:10). This promise is still
available to you today.
