HOLDING FORTH UNTO FAITH: FOR YOU ARE – “GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR”!
There is and there are, LIFE BATTLES, knowingly or unknowingly. And these Life BATTLES are real to All. But the greatest of ALL life battles, is the BATTLE of your FAITH in Christ. And there’s an ENEMY and CHORTS fighting daily, going to and fro, roaring aggressively and looking for any avenue and opportunity to devour you of your FAITH in Christ.
You need to know full well that the ENEMY and COHORTS knows that if it can get hold of your FAITH, EVERYTHING about you will be DEVOURED.
Your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead – is the VICTORY and TRIUMPH that overcomes the WORLD’S SYSTEM – the world systems that’s run and control by the ENEMY and COHORTS against your well-being in Christ Jesus. When the ENEMY and COHORTS roar, or makes attacks on you in its acts of operandi, you need to know and understand that it’s actual PRIMARY aim and objective are not after your MONEY, FAMILY, CAREER, RELATIONSHIP, BUSINESS, MINISTRY and SUCH LIKE – it’s PRIMARY intent is that you DENY, GIVE UP and QUIT on your FAITH, for your FAITH is the ONLY divinely instilled DEFAULT and LIVING MECHANISM that OVERCOMES and ENACT your REDEMPTION in humanity, to live and do life in every way in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.
We are enjoined to keep HOLDING FAITH in order to FIGHT a GOOD FIGHT of FAITH in any life BATTLES. Therefore, BUILD UP your most Holy FAITH in Christ Jesus, by constantly affirming and enacting your stands in GRACE in your REDEMPTION, as a way of PREPAREDNESS to doing and dealing with the daily CHALLENGES and BATTLE. And by effectually exercising your rights and privileges Christ Jesus stead, you can then rule and reign in DOMINION IN REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. 9 But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]” 1 Peter 5:8-10 (Amplified).
