THE GOOD FIGHT - by Creflo Dollar

Image result for the good fight of faith


SUMMARY
In our spiritual warfare with the devil, using the Word of God as a weapon and standing on our believers’ authority helps us “get our fight back.” This battle is all about maintaining the victory that Jesus has already won for us. When He went to the cross, He obtained healing, deliverance, prosperity, soundness, answered prayer, and every other victory we will ever need in life.
Fighting the good fight requires that we recognize the victories that have already been made available to us, and maintain them through our stance of faith. The enemy tries to deceive us into thinking we must work to get what God has already given us, the same way he deceived Adam and Eve. We must be on guard against this. As long as we stand firm on God’s promises, regardless of what is going on around us, we win.
  1. We do not have to give in to the enemy when Christ has already won the fight for us.
    1. We are fighting a spiritual battle against the enemy, and we must use our faith to win.
      1. 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 (1 Timothy 6:12).
      2. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might(Ephesians 6:10).
      3. We must stand firm in the victories Jesus has obtained for us and our children. As parents, we have that promise.
      4. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6).
      5. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children (Isaiah 54:13).
      6. When we exercise our faith in the Word, we have already won the battle. This is because Jesus won it for us. Therefore, we are not fighting for victory, but from victory.
    2. Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world (Ephesians 2:11, 12).
      1. To be in Christ means we are operating under the correct covenant. If we have no agreement with Him, we have no hope.
      2. Living under the correct covenant allows the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us.
      3. Letting God, instead of our emotions, guide us empowers us to love others even when they are unlovable.
      4. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8, NKJV).
      5. If we suffer betrayal or pain, we need to learn to let go and move forward. We cannot do this without the help of the Holy Spirit.

MAY I NOT RUN OFF - Gbile Akanni

“A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to  his  father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth  to me . And he divided unto them  his  living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.” (Luk 15:11-13 KJV) LORD, fire me up and set me on fire”… Let not grace diminish in my life. Let me not become obsolete, ever before the work is done completely.

THE OMINIPOTENT GOD - By Pastor E.A Adeboye

Image
He is unlimited in power He is the omnipotent God. Psalm 62:11 says, God has spoken once, twice have I heard this that power belongs to God. Next time somebody tells you that you cannot make progress, that you will not be promoted, that you will not have a child, that you will die sick, that you will die poor, turn to the person and say, “Power belongs to my God.” Jeremiah 32:27 says, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” The word omnipotent is a combination of two words; Omni and potent. Omni means, ‘All’ while potent means ‘Power.’ Omnipotent is the One who has all power. One of the basic differences between man and God is limitation. Man is limited, but our God is not limited. Man is limited by strength. In Isaiah 40: 30, the Bible says, even the young men shall faint. Strong as they are, they can faint, they can fall. Man is limited by death. James 4: 13-14 says, the life of a man is like a vapour. You can wake up and say, “Tom...
