How to Fight a Good FIght of Faith

[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.12.2″]

Christian life is a battle; therefore, brethren fight on!

God’s part we cannot do, our part He will not do, therefore, if we are faithful, God will look after our success.

“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).

We must fight a good fight of faith, holding on to eternal life, to which we are called.

We must fight a good fight of faith in order to possess our possession in the Lord our God.

Beloved saints of God, we are not cowards or weakling but we are courageous soldiers of the cross taking on, on all challenges.

Christians are fighters and warriors in righteousness.

Christian faith is a battle against evil and wicked forces.

Beloved saints, we are in a spiritual battle.

Battle against darkness. Battle against unrighteousness.

War against the devil and satanic hosts.

Battle against demonic forces in the heavenly realm.

We must fight against sin. We must fight against false doctrine, apathy and apostasy.

WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING?

(Ephesians 6:12 / 2 Corinthians 10:3-6) (Explain)

1. There are many Christians who feel that words like fight, struggle, strife, labor have no place in the daily experience of Christian life.
2. Many believers think that Christianity centers only on life flowing like a stream without hindrances or resistance. (This is not truth)
3. Some Christians go out of context by thinking that to fight a good fight of faith only relates to healing, prosperity and material things.

THE FIGHT OF FAITH IS A FIGHT AGAINST; 

1. Our eternal enemy (2 Corinthians 11:14-15) Satan transforms himself into angel of light.
2. False teachers also deceive the Church with false teaching. (1 Timothy 4:1-2)
3. The fashions of this world. (John 17:14-16 / 1 John 4:4-6 / 5:18-20 / James 4:4)
4. Against the tendency of following the thinking line of this world. (1 John 2:15-17)

WHEN DOES CHRISTIAN BATTLE BEGIN?

It begins the very moment you are born again.

The gate of heaven is ahead of you to enter but there are forces of the past pulling you back. Such as:

1. Old broken relationship.
2. Worldly friendship.
3. Unbeliever friends.
4. Devil and his agents.
5. Unbeliever relatives with their cunning craftiness, deception and manipulation.

Remember the Bible declares that from the time of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of God has suffered violence and violence takes it by force.

Remember, Saints of God that Our battle is not against blood and flesh but against the unseen forces.

Remain blessed and rapturable,

Yours to reach this generation with the Gospel,

Dr. Daniel O. C., Senior Pastor
