Focus: 1 Timothy 6:12 - KJV
12. 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.
Philippians 3:12-14
From the point of birth to that of death, life is a battle. The battles of the time of birth and death are not that of the actor to choose, but the interval between the two ends has him fully engaged and the outcome depends on the choices of the actor. Even upon birth, the man begins to cry, and from that period on, it is from one battle to the other until he gets to such age when he can decide things for himself. Then, the knowledge of good and evil starts to operate in his mind. Ironically, it is funny how he is lured more to do the wrong things as against the good ones as he grows. Nonetheless, a time comes when he has to make up his mind whether to do good more predominantly or otherwise. Then, the fortunate one encounters Christ and the battles become tougher. Yes, tougher. It becomes tougher in that those who are on the side of Christ carry an aura of glory that infuriates the enemy and he moves to ensure the person is given hard times so that he may deny his Lord.
It is not improbable that you are going through hard times at the moment because of your decision for righteousness as against sin and wickedness. Be of good cheer, the Lord has overcome the enemy for you. For as long as you remain steadfast and immovable by the things the enemy brings your way, there is no way the enemy can win the battle against you. Just keep on fighting by ensuring you do not succumb to pressure to do evil in any way. Doing so is you laying hold on eternal life which is sure for everyone that operates in the righteousness of Christ.
SOLUTION: Never give in to the devil to cooperate with him in any way to do evil. Stick with righteousness and you will never regret.
Please pray:
· Father, I thank you for giving me the grace to know you and operate in your righteousness
· Pray that the Lord will uphold you in righteousness to the end by His Spirit and that every wile and device of the enemy to make you compromise shall never prosper
· Pray that the price that is for those who finish in righteousness will not elude you.
· Pray that the Lord will order your steps today to the place where the fruits of your blessings are laid
· Add your personal requests
