FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

Matthew 11:12

Friend, the blessed life that Jesus came for you to have; the glorious and the good life won’t be handed to you on a silver platter. You have to fight for it. Paul told Timothy to fight the good fight of faith. In this Christian life, only fighters win. Victory is secured only when you fight.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:12

How do you fight? With your full amour in place, you fight by speaking the Word. It is truly a good fight, and when you fight, you fight to win. You don’t have to take things lying down; you can put up a fight, and fight the good fight of faith.

Go for the Word because the Word is the sword of the Spirit. You can use it for an offensive attack. It puts you in an advantageous position. Therefore, put the Word in your mouth and speak it.

And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak.

2 Corinthians 4:13

Victory is for those who fight, they take it by force. They take it by faith. Faith is believing and speaking. You believe the Word and you speak the Word. When you do that, you fight the good fight of faith and you lay hold of God’s promises.

You don’t have to put up with failure or defeat; you can change your life by speaking the Word. Life goes in the direction of your words. That is why it is of paramount importance to speak right words. The Word of God in your mouth will put you over adverse circumstances and make you a victor in life.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Proverbs 18:21

Thought of the day: I don’t have to put up with failure or defeat; I can fight the good fight of faith.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word, thank You that it always puts me in an advantageous position. Thank You that I can secure victory through Your Word, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

STRENGTHEN YOURSELF IN THE LORD

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 Things could be going wrong all around you, challenges everywhere, and negative thoughts attacking your mind even to a point of depression. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and wallowing up in depression, stand up and strengthen yourself in the Lord. We live in the world that has challenges, Jesus said that in the world you will have tribulations, but cheer up because Jesus has overcome the world. Strengthen yourself in the Lord and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 When you are weak you cannot overcome challenges you face in life. When you are weak you cannot have the victory and take possession your inheritance. You have to be strong. Strong

WAGE WAR WITH PROPHECY

This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare. 1 Timothy 1:18 If you have a prophecy spoken over your life it is time for warfare. It is time to wage war with your prophecy. Take the prophecy spoken over you and put it in your mouth. Speak the same prophecy over your life. Agree with God. Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3 Speak the same things with God. That is faith, faith speaks the same things with God and we overcome by our faith. Faith will put you over and it will make you an overcomer. Use your faith to wage war. And whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world – our faith. 1 John 5:4 Put up a good fight and fight the good fight of faith. You have to fight in order to win. Wage war with prophecy. If there is no prophecy spoken over you, there is nothing to it. Use the Word and speak the Word over

GOD REWARDS RIGHTEOUS LIVING

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. 2 Samuel 22:21 Righteousness according to the Old Testament is righteous living. However, in the New Testament we have received the righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ. When David in the Old Testament said that the LORD rewarded him according to his righteousness, he is essentially saying that the LORD rewarded him for his righteous living. Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 The above Scripture would then mean: “Say to those who live righteously that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.” God rewards righteous living. It doesn’t matter where you find yourself right now, if you would continue living righteously, living according to God’s Word sooner than later your life would begin to change. You can turn things around as you live righteously.
