FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses(I Timothy 6:12).

In the journey of life, battles are not optional but mandatory. Even at birth, a child must be made to cry. At that point, he fights to overcome the force that wants to keep his lungs closed; so as to 
live. Henceforth, various battles begin. 

When one becomes born again, the dynamics of the fight changes. He will still fight but this time around it is a good fight. The bible calls it the “Good Fight of Faith”. The fight is a good fight; the weaponry is also a unique one, FAITH. So a believer fights the good fight of faith, this fight is 
termed a good fight because the end is determined from the beginning. Victory is guaranteed at the end. It is a fight to be won. Halleluyah!

It is like watching a replayed boxing match whose winner you already know. The same way, God is not bothered about what fight you may be involved in now, because he already saw you emerge the winner. 
Remember, He is the God that sees the end from the beginning. 
You have already overcome the world (I John 5:4). God once told the children of Israel to go fight and take over the land He gave them (Deuteronomy 2:24). Though there were giants dwelling on the land. He said, I have given them to you. He expects you to go fight and possess your inheritance. The reason why many of his children are not possessors is because they are not fighters. Fight for your marriage, fight for your children, fight for your home, fight for your loved ones.

“... by whose stripes you were healed” (I Peter 2:24). Fight for the divine health God made available to you in Christ and refuse 
to allow sickness to reign in your body. Fight now!

The above scripture doesn’t say you will be healed, or shall be healed; but you were healed! It is already settled, release your faith now and don’t you dare allow those symptoms to deceive you otherwise. 

Ephesians 6:10-18  Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. 

7 Major Requirements For The Fights:
1. The belts of truth buckled around your waist.
2. The breastplate of righteousness
3. Feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of  peace.
4. The Shied of Faith for your defense.
5. The Helmet of Salvation.
6. The Sword of the Spirit; which is the word of God.
7. And Prayer.

1 Timothy 1-18  Timothy, my son, i give you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight, 
Paul encourages his spiritual son, Timothy to fight for his prophecies. A times when prophecy is spoken over you, you don't go to bed and sleep and expect the manifestation of the word spoken to you. You fight for it in the place of prayer and confession for the manifestation. Glory!

Romans 8:28-30  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

PRAYER:
1. I am a victor in life in the name of Jesus.
2. I cannot be stopped because the greater One lives in me in Jesus name.
3. I am more than a conqueror in Christ.

LISTEN TO GODS' VOICE TODAY

"Today if you hear God’s voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against Him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against Him in the desert.” (Hebrew 3:15). God speaks to his creation at all times. As we read the bible we see instances where God spoke to unbelievers, example; Saul,  Nebuchadnezzar etc. Jesus spoke to the wind and it obeyed him, He also spoke to the fig tree. How much more you his child. It is an error for you to say you can’t hear his voice.  Jesus speaking in..…John 10:27 said; “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”  As Gods' children, we have the capacity and the ability to hear His voice. But the challenge is; a lot of us do not pay attention and listen to what God is saying. Probably because we are waiting to have the Saul’s encounter of a voice speaking from heaven (Act 9:4). God speaks to us in our spirit with a small still voice. Prophet Elijah had an encounter with this voice… II Kings 19:12 -13 “...and after

START WITH PRAYER.

 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Psalm 90:14 Starting the year in prayerlessness is a very dangerous move to make. From the scripture above, we see David placing a demand on God in the place of prayer for early satisfaction. He is asking God God to satisfy him early with mercy. Why was he specific by adding "early" and not just saying oh Lord satisfy us with your mercy? The mistake most of us make in our prayer, is failure to be specific and detailed in our prayer. The demand for earl satisfaction will result to early accomplishment and achievements. Now is the time for you to learn this wisdom from David and tell the Lord that you desire to be satisfied early in 2021 with his mercy, favour, goodness, presence, wisdom, success and vision. Halleluyah! Lateness and delay is when the achievement of January is accomplished in December. May you not be found sleeping while your mate are succeeding, maximising their year and prosperin

THE POWER OF PATIENCE.

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my saviour; my God will hear me (Micah 7:7). One of the characteristics of a matured believer is in his or her ability to patiently wait on God for his intervention even in the midst of fierce oppositions and challenges. From the anchor scripture, we see the prophet making this his personal choice- “But as for me”. He was intentional about it. You see, in life, you have to understand that following the crowd always can make you miss out on God’s plan for your life. There are decisions you have to make of which other people may never support or understand, because you desire to please God with your life and not man. Others may choose to cut corners, seek for short cuts which will ultimately cut them short. Some cheat their way through due to impatience, pressure to fit in, and low self-esteem. As believers, our response to life ought to be different. Prophet Micah said “I wait in hope for the LORD” do you know that, ho
