Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:12
Fight a good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life.
Life often demand that we apply a measure of violence to get a deserved results. Life responds most times to your demand and not just your desire. You must place demand if you don’t want to be displace in life.
Yesterday, I told you that faith is an evidence of hope, the reality of your expectations. Today, I want you to learn the act of persistence and violence. Persistence and violence response to life stubborn situations. Listen, there are situations that appear to defy all your efforts, you have done all therefore, but rather the situation grow worse. That was the case of the woman with the issue of blood. – in Luke 8:43-48. She committed everything including her resources, but the scripture said the situation rather grew worse. I don’t know the issues of life that has defiled your effort, but I know that there is something call the violent faith. It is the conquerors weapon. A conqueror only sets eyes on victory no matter the mountain on the way to hinder him. Like the Hebrew boys story which says “no matter the giant on the way to hinder us, we know we are able”. The conqueror’s story is the story of David, when he confronted Goliath. He looked beyond the giant’s terrifying appearance and war experience and ultimately had is head. The conqueror’s story is the story of the 3 Hebrew boys that said “we don’t even care if our God don’t save us, but we won’t bow to your god.”
The weapon of conquerors is violent faith. They approach life and situations not minding how big they seem. They arm themselves with violent faith, daring the impossible, confronting mountains and defying death. Their end is always victorious.
Today, I don’t know that stubborn situation that have caused you set back in life, that stubborn mountain that may have kept you in a spot in life, that stubborn pursuer that refuse to give up on your matter, it’s time to confront them with that violent faith. The scripture said “if you must fight at all, fight a good fight of faith.” It is time to give it back to them. Your response must come with a degree of violence. Scripture said it this way: …From the days of John the Baptist, even until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent takes it by force + Matt 11:12.
You can’t confront that battle as if it’s child’s play. Raise your arm by yourself with that faith, remind the devil that healing is yours and no negotiations. Take it, it is yours, take the blessings it is yours, take the promotion it is yours, take the victory it is yours.
Don’t give in, you can be the next miracle to be celebrated. Keep going until you win. I see you winning, I see you breaking through that stubborn situations, I see you emerging from that rejection. It is your season.
Declaration
Today, I arm my self with violent faith. Every prolong situation confronting my life and destiny, I breakthrough today. I am breaking through every stubborn mountains. I carry the spirit of a conqueror, I refuse to give up. I must win today, My day is blessed.
