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.
Friends, as believers, we must recognize that we are faced daily
with battles on every side. It is a battle worth fighting because God is
backing and empowering us. Although, many are invisible battles but they exit
either physical or spiritual. But, the good news is that it is a good fight
because we are on the winning side with Jesus before us. Romans 8:37 Nay, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. So, the war
before us is already worn with our belief and faith in God through Christ Jesus
as He finished the battle on the cross. Yes, Paul is calling it a good fight
not because it is easy but, it is noble, victorious, and ultimately, there is
an eternal reward which is a crown that never fades.
Beloved, fighting this good fight requires our trust in God as we
hold on to our profession of faith. James 4:7 Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Therefore, we
must be courageous and vigilant in life challenges as we stand strong with God.
Yes, there are trials, temptations and discouragements in our journey today but
we must resist the enemy by standing firm as soldiers and the army of God. 2.Tim.4:7-8 I have
fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness… Friends, the
promise of God is sure so, it is important we build our confidence in God
despite the oppositions today because we shall end up with spiritual strength
and growth if we don’t give up in JESUS name.
PRAYER POINT:
1.
Oh Lord, with unwavering trust in God who has
worn the world, strengthen me in the altar of prayers with spiritual alertness in
Jesus name.
