THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH: YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FIGHT!
“If thou FAINT in the DAY of ADVERSITY, thy STRENGTH is SMALL” Proverbs 24:10.
Sometimes in the course of life things – ADVERSITIES – do happen. How we go about it defines lots in our moving forward – onward and upward trajectory or moving backward or at stand still. When in course of life time you – lose your job, your business close down, you have uncertainty in your relationship and marriage, your children or spouse quit from you, or sickness and diseases afflicts you and your financial position gets worst and uncertain; your career or educational pursuits comes to a hurt and many more setback comes to play in your life – WHAT DO YOU DO?
I WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR ‘FAITH” THAT THE ENEMY AND COHORTS ARE AFTER AND NOT THE EVENTS AND HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE.
The enemy and cohorts knows, if they can SUCCEED in getting you off your ‘FAITH’ – that’s your trust and dependence on God’s grace and absolute providence in Christ Jesus, they will not only ruin you but will also ruin all who God had orchestrated you to be His vessel of use to extend His BLESSEDNESS to them; knowing, when you succeed in achieving God’s intended PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in doing life and living godly by FAITH, others will be beneficiaries.
The enemy tried to destroy everything about our BELOVED JOB, but couldn’t crush his FAITH, and JOB by his FIGHT of FAITH for his FAITH, was able to come back far better off while declaring in the cause and course of his challenges – “I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES, AND HE IS ABLE TO SAVE ME EVEN IN THIS FIGHT OF FAITH” (paraphrased).
“For I KNOW that my REDEEMER liveth, and that he shall STAND at the latter day upon the earth” Job 19:25.
The ENEMY and COHORTS tried it on Christ too, but he and cohorts eventually and completely lost the battle of the FAITH as it’s written:
“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.
“Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the PRINCES of this WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have CRUCIFIED the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.
And I know for sure and assured certainty, the enemy and cohorts can’t succeed with you except you let him be – give them the needed permission to hurt you and your FAITH especially. Therefore, today, rise up to FIGHT for the GOOD FIGHT of your FAITH in Christ, for your FAITH worth FIGHTING for because your destiny and that of others depends on it; don’t just give up or backslide simply for a momentary lack; because I know you can and will come back better and best of times in life and godliness than you were before if you deal life through FAITH and PATIENCE – Hebrews 6:11-12; for you can win wholly, faithfully, triumphantly, victoriously, graciously and gracefully when your stand insured and assured of your FAITH in God’s unwavering ability and agility in you and through you. That’s all you need now, today and always.
NEVER GIVE THE ENEMY AND COHORTS THE OXYGEN THEY CRAVE TO HURT YOU IN YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD
Therefore, don’t sit back or stay aloof, because the enemy and cohorts are envious of your worth and greatness, hence their intent. So, FIGHT! FIGHT!! and FIGHT!!! Don’t give up, or give in, I challenged you today. YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FAITH IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.
I pray for you that God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS may abound with you, in life and grace in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Have a blessed and awesome day.
