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, in other words, after you’ve prayed and read the Word, 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.

THE POWER OF THE WORD

“Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD “And like the hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29 The word of God will purify you and break your stony heart. The word of God will make you holy and soften your heart. If you will give yourself to the word it will change you. Jesus said, “Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth.” Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth. John 17:17 The word is powerful nothing compares to the word. It will transform you and reshape your destiny. The word will make your life beautiful. If you will stick to the word it will make you an absolute success. So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20:32 The Bible says that you are born of the word and that makes you an absolute victor in life. You can never be defeated, you can never be disadvantaged in life; you can live your life in perpet...

YOU LIVE IN THE ARK

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted the ark, and it rose high above the earth. Genesis 7:17 When the Lord destroyed the earth with the flood, there was a flood for forty days and forty nights, Noah and his family where in the ark, as the water rose, the ark rose above the waters. As a child of God, figuratively, you live in the ark. The world around you may be going through trouble but you are safe in the ark. You are in the world but you are not of the world. When the world is going through trouble you just go upward and forward. You are resting in God’s grace and love. You have peace on the inside, you are untouched by trouble. There could be pestilence and famine going on around you but it will not come to you. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:7 Live in the secret place of the Most High, “in the ark,” in His presence and His glory. There no weapon for...

YOU ARE THE LIGHT IN YOUR WORLD

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14 People in the world are in darkness; they walk in ignorance to God’s Word. As a believer you can enlighten other people’s darkness; you can make them see. You are the light of the world. You are a leader with solutions. You can win souls and lead many to righteousness. You can liberate and empower others. You can lead by example and make a difference. You can distinguish yourself as the light of the world by bearing good fruit and producing good works. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 People everywhere are looking for leaders who will lead them. They are looking for the light, someone who will lead and solve problems. You can be that difference maker and change other people’s lives. When people see you, what do they see; what do they think? Are you the solution or the problem? You can be a burning ...
