Hold on to stand on

Text: 1 Timothy 6:12 (KJV)

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.

Our calling is not just to have faith in God, but we are to hold on to stand on. The eternal life needs faith as our selling tool so we must guide it jealously as we pass through the battles of life. There is no impossibility with faith but many did not stay on because of challenges. You have to strive to win in life.  It is not in the look or size of who you carry but the size of the knowledge of who is inside of you and the revelation of what you know about Him for a battle to be won.  James 2:17- Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.  Remember, many are carrying a dead faith that is why there is no result, let us build firm to our faith.  In our scripture above, we are told to fight a good fight of faith. I know we must have experienced defeat at various times before now. Why? It is because of ignorance, of what to do..  Friends, those defeats should have taught us some lessons on the mistakes we made. Amazingly, we are soldiers of Christ with a weapon that victory has been declared to our favour, which is our faith in Christ, and we are meant to use it to survive in this world.

Amazingly, this fight is not a physical battle, rather it is the one you fight with your belief, and with a positive and bold confession to preserve your inheritance . And it is a good fight because the battle is won already by our saviour as we are fighting from the winning side.even before contending,.   Matthew 17:20- And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. In the wrestling ring, the opponent usually intimidates the counterpart as they are coming into the battlefield with a lot of gimmicks displayed into the ring. They talk with authority, and that is how they win, so I urge you not to live and fight with that fear of a closed mouth but instead have confidence and speak the Word of God positively into your battle and not to cry. I pray God will make you win in Jesus name. 

PRAYER POINTS: 

1. Lord Jesus, may I not be intimidated with fear by the threatening words of the opposition, in Jesus name.

2. Father, may I always see the joy ahead as to persist on that battle for my victory, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Knowledge is the victory cure so do not allow ignorance.
