Pastor
Chris
Beloved,
when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was
needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly
contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 1:3).
As saints of God,
there’s a way of life that’s been delivered to us which we must earnestly
contend for. There’re forces in the world whose aim is to sway you from the
faith. You must contend against these forces in faith. 1 Timothy 6:12 says,
"Fight the good fight of faith…." Notice: it’s a fight of faith.
The same faith that was delivered
to the prophets and apostles of old continues with us today; we have the same
spirit of faith: "We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is
written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and
therefore speak" (2 Corinthians 4:13).
All those who ever
walked this faith-road were fulfilled in victory, success, and dominion; they
dominated their world and overwhelmed their adversaries. It’s the same for us,
because we have the same spirit of faith. Put your trust in the Lord, and be
convinced of the power and efficacy of His Word like they did in Bible days. If
you’d believe and respond to the Word as they did, you’ll get what they got.
This is one reason we
study Bible characters; it’s for us to know how they lived, what they did,
how God dealt with them, how they responded to Him, and how their faith
produced results. Their accounts were written for our learning and guidance,
that we may be inspired by their gallant acts of faith. Read some of the
inspiring acts by these men and women of faith in Hebrews 11:32-40.
Prayer Dear
Father, I thank you for the overcoming and ever-winning life of faith you’ve
delivered to me. Right now, irrespective of what comes against my faith, or the
physical circumstances, I speak life, success and prosperity in all my
endeavours, in Jesus’ Name.
