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”.
There is a fight that is different from all other kinds of fight, it is called the fight of faith. There are a few things to note about this fight;
Firstly, while other fights are bad fights, the fight of faith is a good fight. There is nothing bad in this fight and about this fight. Secondly, this fight is not with physical weapons or artillery, but it is with your mouth. It is putting the word of God in your heart over a matter and then speaking it through your mouth. Remember faith begins by hearing the word of God, believed in your heart and declared from your mouth.
The question then is how do you fight? We fight by simply disagreeing with all the satanic suggestions around us by consistently declaring God’s word against them.
Secondly, we fight by standing on what God has said about a health or career condition, or any other condition at all. The fight of faith is saying what God has said regardless of what you feel or see. Faith is ignoring the obvious and focusing on the truth of what God’s word. The obvious is your pain and it is a fact, but the truth is the word of God, and it is superior to any fact.
Abram was almost a hundred years old when God changed his name to Abraham, meaning father of many nations. They began to call him father of nations when he had no child with Sarah. It must have sounded funny and ridiculous, but the bible said he staggered not in faith. Romans 4:17-21. He hopped against hope and gave glory to God till he got his desires. That is the fight of faith. The fight of faith is believing and speaking contrary to what you see and feel. And if you do it long enough, you will win the fight . Congratulations in advance.
Action Points
i. List out all the challenges of your life and produce another list of what God has said about them.
ii. Then begin to confess, declare and prophesy them into your life and destiny, no matter how long it takes.
Prayer
-Lord I believe all that you have said concerning me and my situation, against all I feel or see in Jesus Name.
-I stand my ground and I vow to fight this fight to the finish by your grace in Jesus Name.
Nugget
Fight the fight of faith by simply disagreeing with all the satanic suggestions around you by consistently declaring God’s word against them.
