Fight a Good Fight of Faith.

1 Timothy 6:12(KJV)
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.
In our anchored Scripture, Apostle Paul urge Timothy to fight the good fight for the true faith and hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called him. It is critical to know that the subject of faith cannot be over emphasized because the journey of Christianity is called, “The walk of faith.” It is clear that for a Christian’s faith to survive, a fight is required, whether you are interested or not, the fight is on. Faith is not a feeling neither is it a wishful thinking, faith is a fight and a confrontation. The fight of faith is nothing but the confrontation of conviction, it is the enemy trying to challenge what you believe. That was why it is good to know that, faith does not prevent battles or confrontations, but it guarantees victory in the face of the battle.
The survival of a child of God depends on his or her preparedness for battle and the ability to fight. The fight of faith is the spiritual warfare to defend your territory, contend for your faith and be victorious over the powers of darkness that rule the world. This battle cannot be fought in our might and power but by the help of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 10:3 says “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:” So there is war and this war is the battle between the lie of the devil and the promises of God to you. Every genuine faith must be confronted and no one overcomes without fighting. The faith of Abraham, Joseph and Daniel were all confronted because they believed and trusted in God. However every one of them overcame the confrontation of their faith because they were more than conquerors(Romans 8:37). No wonder, our anchored Scripture says fight the good fight of faith. this means anyone who is not ready for a fight is not ready for victory. Any battle you are facing in your life right now, that battle is over! Arise in victory by the weapon of faith, in the Name of Jesus!
Beloved, be determined to arm yourself with the mentality of warfare in order to maintain a vibrant faith in God. Refuse to be timid, as you confront every confrontation of your faith with brutal declarations and positive actions. Put on the full armor of God and be determine to build your life, principles, choices and action steps around the Word. To overcome you must be a dedicated and committed soldier, with firm loyalty and faithfulness to God. Remember, without Him, you can do nothing, but with Him, you are a mighty army!
O LORD, grant me to grace to stand for You and the Gospel, as I receive Your help to be victorious in the battle of life in Jesus’ Name.
