JUNE 12TH – CAPSULE 12
TOPIC: GET UP AND FIGHT
BIBLE TEXT: 1 TIM. 6 VS 12 – Fight the good of faith (in the conflict with evil; take hold of the eternal life which you were called, and (for which) you made the good confession (of faith) in the presence of many witnesses. [AMP]
Get up and do what’s right (what is righteous), ensure that your battles are against the evil forces fighting your faith and not quarrels and dispute because of things of this world. Many today fight over properties, other people’s wives (widows) and more whereas the battle for righteous living is ignored and forgotten amongst men.
Jesus addressed these unnecessary things that confuses the children of God and how to avoid covetousness the spirit behind wrong cravings and fightings. Luke 12 vs 13 -14 – And one of the company said unto him, master speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And He said to them, men who made me a judge or a divider over you? When you fight over wrong battles Christ pays no attention to you.
Many are lazy today at the place of prayer and fellowship with God, because of the misdirections in our hearts and lustful purposes. God wants us to fight the good fight – notice the word "good", which means what’s relevant and in the will of God. Apostle Paul fought a good fight of faith, over perils, thieves, darkness, the Jews, gentiles and much more and God gave him victory on all sides.
Prayer: Father, help me fight the good fight of faith in Jesus name.
Insight: The good fight of faith brings out your reward.
Give me the grace dear Father to fight the good fight of faith in Jesus name.
