TOPIC :✨IT’S A GOOD FIGHT✨
SCRIPTURE📖 :Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses (1 Timothy 6:12).
Whether you know it or not, as a Christian, you’re in a fight. Some people don’t like to hear this because they’re just not willing to fight. Instead, they hope that things will somehow just fall into place. No! You’ve got to fight. Why? Because there’s an adversary working to ensure that things don’t fall into place for you.
Understand that the world is hostile to your faith; it’s hostile to the Kingdom of God. Jesus, however, said, “Cheer up; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). So, we’re not trying to overcome the world; we already did in Christ Jesus and keep it in that position with our faith. The Bible says our faith is the victory that triumphs over the world: “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4).
Now you can understand why He tells us to fight the good fight of faith. Faith is the victory, so always see with the eyes of faith. See the end from the beginning and stay focused on the Word, knowing that no matter what happens, your victory is guaranteed. It’s called the good f ight of faith because you always win.
Here are three important things to note as you fight the good fight of faith: refuse to consider sensory perceptions and focus on the Word. Secondly, keep renewing your mind with the Word, and let it be your motivation (Romans 12:2; James 1:25). Then, meditate on the Word to deepen its impact in your life (Joshua 1:8). Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the victory you’ve given me in Jesus Christ. I stand firm in the authority you've given me, knowing that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. Thank you for the divine life in me, working in every fibre of my being. I'm victorious in every situation, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
