Good -Life Devotional: THIEVES SHALL NOT ENTER HEAVEN

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Scripture is clear: “Thieves... shall not inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:10, AMP). Yet many modern preachers distort God’s grace, ignoring repentance and righteousness, and teaching that one can continue in sin without consequence. This false gospel contradicts Titus 2:11-12, which states, “For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God... instructs us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives” (AMP).

Jesus Himself warned against such religious corruption, declaring, “My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves” (Luke 19:46). Just as thieves stole from the temple in Jesus’ day, many now rob God’s people of truth—trading holiness for hype, and repentance for popularity.

The Word commands, “He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, producing with his own hands what is good” (Ephesians 4:28). Stealing—whether money, time, truth, or glory—is a mark of Satan, who “comes only to steal and kill and destroy” (John 10:10). Jesus, by contrast, calls His followers to walk in light and truth.

Paul exhorts believers, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity” (2 Timothy 2:19). Hebrews 10:26 warns, “If we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins.”

True grace transforms. It never permits sin; it empowers us to overcome it. Let us not be deceived—righteousness still matters.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and a contented heart.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome temptation.
