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 and onwards or moving backwards or at stand still. When in course of lifetime you lose your job, your business close down, you have uncertainty in your relationship and marriage, your children or spouse quit from you; 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 want 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 knows, that if he can succeed in getting you off your ‘FAITH’, that’s your trust and dependence on God’s grace and absolute providence, he will not only ruin you but also all who God had orchestrated that by you, they are to be blessed through you when you succeed in achieving God’s intended plans, purposes and pursuits in your life.
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 better of 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.
“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, he can’t succeed with you except you let him be. 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; your stand insured and assured of your FAITH in God’s unwavering ability and agility in you and through you is all you need now.
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.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 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” 2 Timothy 4:6-8.
