MEDITATION FOR WEEK 4 IN APRIL 2012
WHO IS A THIEF?
Scripture:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. John 10:1
Wisdom Nugget:
The popular method may not be the scripturally permissive method.
Very often we use the word of God as a lens to view others. The word of God is a lens that gives correct perspective about life and the world around us but beyond that; the word of God should be used as a mirror to see ourselves for the purpose of making necessary adjustments.
Today’s study will benefit us greatly if we apply it to ourselves.
Somebody who takes what does not belong to him is regarded as a thief. Further to that, in the light of the scripture under consideration whosoever use illegal means to achieve his purpose is a thief.
If a house has a door why going through the window? Are you not guilty of this as a student cheating to pass exam, business person cutting corners, pastors using unscriptural means to grow ministry, politician rigging to win elections. etc.
The door of repentance is widely open for those who are willing to go through.
