NEVER GET INTO WRONG FIGHTS! (Your Fight Is The Good Fight Of Faith)

2 Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

LET’S TALK “I wish I knew where Kevin lived, so I could go beat him up,” fumed Andrew.

“Hey man, where did that come from?!” Steven replied in shock.

“He hurt me, and I’ve got to give him a piece of my mind,” Andrew retorted.

“Come on, man, let it go. That’s not a legitimate fight for you. Leave it alone!”

When you study 1 Timothy 6:12, you’ll discover that the fight of faith is the only legitimate fight for the Christian, and it’s not a fight with people. So, never fight or get into strife with anyone over anything. Fighting with people is wrong. Sometimes, it might seem right just to “fight” for something or a cause, but seek the Lord’s guidance first, like Jehoshaphat requested (2 Chronicles 18:3–4).

If you think you’ve been defrauded or cheated by a fellow brother or sister, as you resolve to take up the matter, remember the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 6:7 says, “…Therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?” Live the higher life; don’t strive with people. Like Ahab, many people fight for different “Ramoth Gileads” today without listening to the Lord. Don’t function that way.

Consider Abraham, who, when he had a land dispute with his nephew, Lot, resolved it without any squabble. Abraham, with a heavenly consciousness, said to his nephew, “...Please let there be no strife between you and me and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren” (Genesis 13:8). That’s the way heavenly people talk. They don’t think they might have a disadvantage. That’s the way you should think, and when you do, you won’t need to fight anyone for anything.

Say this

The Lord has already established me on the Rock, Christ Jesus, and no weapon fashioned against me can prosper. It doesn’t matter who’s against me; they can’t take away from me that which God has given me. I’m different, and I can never be disadvantaged.

So, I invite you to make Jesus Christ the leader of your life by saying this special prayer of salvation and believing in it.

"O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He's alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I'm born again. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul! I'm now a child of God. Amen! Hallelujah!"
