February 16, 2020 ECWA Food For Today Devotional :- A THREE-POINT AGENDA

SUNDAY, 16 FEBRUARY

TEXTS: JOHN 10: 10; JAMES 4: 7

TOPIC: A THREE-POINT AGENDA

It has become common for politicians in Nigeria today to announce their agenda immediately they assume office. These so-called agendas, which are meant to drive the government most times, end up only on the pages of newspapers and radio/television jingles. 

Going by our reading today, Satan (the thief) operates on a three-point agenda: to steal, to kill and to destroy. Usually, when a thief comes, he tries to steal one’s fortune, the hard labor of many years. By stealing, the thief deprives the owner the realization of his dreams and aspirations – even his destiny sometimes. Therefore, beyond what is stolen, a vision is killed and the urge to forge ahead is destroyed. Knowing the magnitude of what Satan is capable of doing, the Bible asks us to resist him. 

We can put our two passages together to get this message: RESIST THE THIEF (SATAN) WHO COMES TO STEAL, TO KILL AND DESTROY AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU! We hearken to this message heeding God’s message to Zerubbabel, not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the LORD Almighty.


Be ready to resist by fleeing from anything that has the look of evil. Satan does not go for rehearsals; he goes for the main show. Don’t joke with him because he is not joking with you!

QUESTION : Are you watching and praying in case the thief visits you?

PRAYER : Give me grace to resist Satan, but also give me the wisdom to flee from him, Amen.
