CONTEND FOR YOUR FAITH


In the present times we are living in, it’s paramount for us as the body of Christ to fight/ contend with everything that’s in us for faith entrusted to us as a gift to guard and cherish. Remember it is written that in the Last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions, lusts.  They cause divisions, they are worldly people always ruled by their fleshly desires devoid of the Spirit.

Certain people have crept in this age unnoticed distorting the grace of our God with its freedom legalistic rules into decadence and unethical freedom, denying and disowning our only Master and Lord Jesus Christ. They have rebelled against God as Korah did, and like Korah, they surely will be destroyed (Num 16)

But we believers should build ourselves up in the most holy faith praying in the Holy Spirit always. Holding onto the love of God awaiting the mercies of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. Jude 1

We have to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against cosmic powers over this present darkness, spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. That’s why we need to take up the full amour of God to withstand.

We have to fasten on the belt of truth, putting on the breastplate of righteousness, and as shoes to our feet having put on the readiness given by the grace of peace, take up the shield of faith so that we can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one, and putting on the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is God’s word. Keeping alert and remembering to make supplications for other saints all over.
