Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:12 NKJV)
In my Christian walk, I’ve encountered people who have achieved great success and others who have faced significant challenges. Some, after enduring a series of trials, never overcame them, while others emerged victorious. One striking similarity among those who couldn’t overcome their challenges was the level of doubt they allowed to take root and the grip their problems had on them. Their struggles felt so overwhelming that they couldn’t find the strength to rise above them.
As Christians, we must understand that life is a journey—a long one at that. It requires endurance and resilience to keep going, especially under pressure. You can’t win in life if you give up too easily. You can’t succeed if you lack the stamina to persevere. How your life’s journey ends largely depends on your willingness to fight for what you believe in. The length of time you’re able to hold on to your faith during trials determines the victory you’ll ultimately receive.
Therefore, it’s crucial to understand and internalize this truth: The devil cannot take what belongs to you if your faith is alive. The enemy only gains access to tamper with your life when he succeeds in weakening or killing your faith. This is why he throws challenges and trials your way—he hopes you’ll cave under the pressure. But don’t fall for his ancient tricks. No trial lasts forever. If you hold on to your faith as you face life’s battles, those challenges will fade, and you’ll emerge victorious.
So, my advice to you today is simple: Keep your faith alive. Don’t let it die, because without faith, you can’t win the battles of life. This is why the Bible says, The just shall live by faith. (Romans 1:17 NKJV).

Confession for the Day
Thank You, gracious Father, for planting the seeds of faith in me—faith that is required to turn my life around. I hold on to my faith in Your ability to bring about my expected end, and I declare that the devil cannot steal what You have given me, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
