Which fight are you fighting? What or who are you fighting for? How many fights are you involved in?

THERE IS ONLY ONE FIGHT

Paul's writing to Timothy encourages him in his journey as a new apostle. What is Paul saying?

‭‭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.

Firstly, we are in a fight. How many believers realise they are in a fight today? We are getting fat and comfortable with our lifestyles today. We are fighting for our family rather than the family of Christ.

Secondly, it's a good fight. Why is it good? It's good because only God is good. God is gathering a people for Himself. Dear believer, you are that family. The only good family is the one in Christ.

Thirdly, it is a fight of faith. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. No faith means you no longer believe God is present. With faith, God moves mountains when we pray and seek his face for everything.

Fourthly, God's fight of faith helps us hold onto eternal life. If we are not fighting the good fight of faith, we will lose eternal life. Our faith life alone keeps us earnestly preparing for the coming of Jesus.

Fifth, God has called us into this fight. He saved us from a darkness that kept us bound from fighting the good fight of faith. Jesus set us free to fight by standing in the faith till death. Know your calling, dear believer. Stop judging others, and live the life God called you to live.

Sixth, this calling is the good profession or good works we need to execute by faith for the glory of God. The good profession or works refers to doing the will of God daily in life.

Seventh, there will be witnesses of your witnessing. God raises these witnesses for you. Don't try to prove yourself to anyone. When you stop proving yourself to others, God will prove you to others.

The more we meditate on scripture, we receive a deeper understanding of it. Indulge yourself in God's word. Get up and be the light of the world. Only the light of God can fight the darkness coming against us daily.

Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
