The Beautiful Life Daily Devotional
CLOSE THE GATES
Author: Prophet Cosmas Inyang
Beautiful Bible Verse:
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy, I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.
John 10:10
The purpose of the enemy has been established. The Bible calls him the thief. The Bible says the purpose of the thief is to steal, kill and destroy.
Your life is like your house or like your building,
It is your responsibility to put walls around your house and to put gate in your house. More importantly it is your responsibility to close your gates.
A house with a lot of valuables if not protected will be burgled.
Note that a thief does not go where there is nothing to steal.
Your life is full of valuables,
Stop leaving the doors of your life open.
Stop leaving the gates of your life open,
Stop allowing cracks in your walls.
Close your gates.
There are gates in your eyes, ears, mind and your feelings.
There are gates in your associations, relationships, actions and responses.
Stop giving the enemy access to your life. Close your gates.
Declare this:
When the enemy shall come, The Holy Spirit shall raise a standard against the enemy and put him to flight.
Say this out loud:
The Glory of The Lord is upon me and The Glory of The Lord is seen upon me.
Personalize this Bible Verse:
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people:
But the LORD shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee.
Isaiah 60:2 (KJV)
