THE GOOD FIGHT Several years ago, a young man failed in business many times,lost 8 different elections,had a total nervous breakdown.Only one of his four children grew to maturity.To a small mind,this man was under a curse and could amount to nothing,but to Abraham Lincoln, going on was his course.He became one of the foremost American President,who defined the unity of the United States of America.Sometimes life brings to us avalanche of challenges,seeking to weaken our resolve to be great in life and define us by the struggles and circumstances of our lives. Glory to God,we are winners and not quitters. In the Bible,Paul told Timothy how he fought; “I have fought the good fight…I have finished my course.It takes fighting to finish your assignment.As believers,its a good fight of faith because the script is in your favour.To fight the good fight,you must be armed with the good news.Meaning, that you know the outcome was decided to favour you before you engage the enemy.In Deuteronomy 2:24,God said to Israel that He had given them the Land of Sihon, and they should engage the king in battle.This type of fight requires that you take a position with God and allowing nothing to dissuade you.God wants you to face life challenges with the mindset of a victor, a conqueror that you are.When Abraham was impotent at hundred years,he did not consider the bad news of his body,but kept close to his heart the good news God had told him,that he was going to be father of many nations.He was strong in faith giving glory to God. Dont define yourself by what you are going through,but by where you are going to. Its easy to think you are ill-fated because in everything you come behind,while your friends are far ahead,but remember Jesus said the last will become the first.Today,raise up your head,broaden your shoulder,have the look of a victor.Walk like you know that you will win in the end.I pray that You will not wither away in life,in Jesus name.
