John 10:10, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (NKJV)

A shepherd always comes on the scene to protect life, while a thief always comes to take life. The devil is always going to try to steal your destiny. The enemy will try to steal your dreams, your health, your friends, your family, your emotions and anything he can to try to kill God-given destiny. The enemy will do anything he can to try to kill your purpose, your motivation, your friendships, and your finances. The enemy will try to destroy you, in any way he possibly can. The enemy would love to destroy your name, your ministry, your family, your church, and your city. The thief has one purpose and that is to steal kill and destroy everything that God is trying to build.

But my friends, let me tell you about our God. He doesn’t just come to give you life, but He comes to give you life more abundantly. He has a good plan and a great purpose for you. He has more provision than you could possibly imagine. He has more people to come alongside you to help you with your God-given destiny than you could ever need. My God is the God of more than enough. He wants to fill you with joy and peace. God’s desire is to fill your heart and mind full of knowledge, wisdom and understanding. That’s my God!
