Topic: A Good Fight of Faith
Text: 1 Timothy 6:12; II Timothy 4:7-8
” 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.”
” I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: [8] henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
Greetings of divine refreshing to you dearly beloved reader and friend wherever you are joining us for today’s super feast of the word and prayers worldover.
In Today’s edition we are looking at a good fight of faith. Many Christians think rather wrongly that they are to be quiet and gentle as a dove even when they are confronted with all manners of spiritual wickedness in high places aimed at stopping them from fulfilling destiny.
Please take this from me dear reader you must fight a good fight in at least the following areas:
IMPERATIVE AREAS FOR GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH
1. Fight to be spiritual and not carnal.
For you to live a life that is spiritual you have to fight for it. Spirituality and carnality are enemies one to another.
We have the elucidate instructions written in Romans 8:6-8 as follows:
” For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. [8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”
2. Fight to live and manifest the fruit of the spirit, it is a real battle to live in love. But this is your most potent way of showing your new birth status to all.
It is written in Galatians 5:22-23 as follows:
” But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
3. Fight to take delivery of the anointing.
It is generally known that it is possible and Biblical to receive healing by the laying of hands therefore many people think all they need to become anointed is for the great man of God to lay his hands on them. THAT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH BELOVED READER.
According to 2 Kings 2:9-13
” And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. [10] And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. [11] And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. [12] And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. [13] He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;”
A. You must fight to identify the anointing.
B. You must ask for a hard and uncommon thing
C. You must PAY THE PRICE, the way Elisha did.
D. You must fight to apply what you carry.
4. Fight to fulfil your God given destiny.
Even though you have been ordained for a purpose from heaven, you need to fight the flesh to discover it.
…You need to fight a massive number of distractions to keep focused on your destiny.
…You have to fight not to be destroyed while pursuing the call of God for your life(I Kings 18:1-end).
5. Fight to be correctly married to your divinely chosen spouse. Ruth 3:6-7 made it clear that Ruth had to fight to be married to Boaz.
A carelessly chosen spouse that is contrary to the will of God will derail the destiny of anyone.
PONDER ON THIS MATTER AND PRAY FULLY IMBIBE THE POINT.
