FAITH TRUTHFULLY AND SCRIPTURALLY SPEAKING IS VERY VERITABLE FOR CHRISTIAN LIVING. IT IS THE BASE AND FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIANITY. MAINTAINING AND SUSTAINING IT HAS BEEN DECLARED AS WARFARE. THIS IS DUE TO THE PREMIUM THAT GOD HAS PLACED ON IT. AND THAT HAD THEREFORE ALSO MADE THE DEVIL TO BE AFTER IT. APART FROM THAT IT HAS BEEN A BATTLE TO KEEP THE FAITH, FAITH HAS ALSO BEEN DESCRIBED AS A WEAPON OF WARFARE. WHILE IT IS A BATTLE TO KEEP IT WHEN IT IS KEPT IT BECOMES A POWERFUL WEAPON FOR VICTORY OVER THE ENEMIES OF FAITH AND THE BLESSEDNESS THAT ACCOMPANY IT. LOST OF FAITH IS TANTAMOUNT TO BEING PLACED IN A DISADVANTAGEOUS POSITION IN THE BATTLES OF LIFE. THE SCRIPTURE DESCRIBES THE STRUGGLE TO KEEP FAITH ALIVE IN GOD AS A FIGHT OR BATTLE. IN THE WORD OF APOSTLE PAUL IN 2 TIMOTHY 6:12 FAITH WAS DESCRIBED AS AN ARMOR OF WARFARE. IT READS " 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." IN 2 TIMOTHY 4:7, APOSTLE PAUL STILL DESCRIBED HIS BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN OR KEEP HIS FAITH IN GOD DESPITE ALL THAT HE PASSED THROUGH AS A GOOD FIGHT. IT SAYS "I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I HAVE FINISHED MY COURSE, I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH:" IN OTHER WORDS, FOR HIM TO HAVE KEPT HIS FAITH UNMOVABLE DESPITE ALL HE WENT THROUGH, WAS A GOOD FIGHT. THIS SCENARIO IMPLIES THAT IT TAKES A FIGHT TO MAINTAIN OR KEEP THE FAITH IN GOD, DESPITE ALL THAT THE DEVIL THE ENEMY OF OUR FAITH MAY TRY OR DO. FAITH WAS ALSO DESCRIBED AS A WEAPON OF WARFARE AND PROTECTIVE WEAPON AGAINST THE DEVIL IN EPHESIANS 6:16 THE BIBLE SAYS “ABOVE ALL, TAKING THE SHIELD OF FAITH, WHEREWITH YE SHALL BE ABLE TO QUENCH ALL THE FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. THAT IS WHY THE DEVIL HATES FAITH AND TO SEE US HAVE FAITH IN GOD. HE WILL VIRTUALLY TRY TO DO ANYTHING WITH HIS ABILITY TO SEE THAT WE LOSE FAITH IN GOD. FOR IT IS ONLY THEN WILL HE BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH HIS THREEFOLD MISSION ON EARTH, WHICH ARE: TO KILL, TO DESTROYED, AND TO STEAL, ACCORDING TO JOHN 10:10 "THE THIEF COMETH NOT, BUT FOR TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY: I COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE AND THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY.

If God be for us who can be against us paul asked in Romans 8:31-39 “what can we say about such wonderful things as these? if God is for us, who can ever be against us? since God did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won't god, who gave us Christ, also give us everything else? who dares accuse us of whom God has chosen for his own? will god? no! he is the one who has given us the right to stand with him. who then will condemn us? will christ Jesus? no, for he is the one who died for us and was raised to life for us and is sitting at the place of highest honor next to God, pleading for us. can anything ever separate us from christ's love? does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death? (even the scriptures say, "for your sake, we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.") no, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. and I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. death can't, and life can't. the angels can't, and the demons can't. our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep god's love away. whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our lord.

Don't give up pray until your situation changes Every success in life calls for patience. with persistence and patience. Virtually everything changes with time. hence, the saying, change is constant and time changes all things. The only worry about self allowed or unguided changes is that they could change for bad or good, and more often than not uncontrolled changes do not bring the desired outcome, that is why we can not leave change for fate hoping that it turns out to be good. The bible urged instead that we should influence or affect our desired changes through prayers.

Trust God to turn things around for you We serve an ever-faithful god, god of all possibility, who turns things around for the good of his children. In Romans 8:28 the Bible says "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" When the bible says all things it means all things, no exception whatsoever. whether that thing is positive or negative, God's assurance for his children is that the end result must be for their good. and the good of those who love and trust him to turn things around for them. There is no situation that is irreparable or irredeemable with him. unless it is not god. but if it is god, there is no impossibility with him. all things are possible with God. No matter how irredeemable or irrecoverable the situation may pose or present itself, God can turn it around. But we must learn to trust him to see him turn things around for us. All we need for God to turn things around for us is trust, trust, and trust and to keep trusting in him and him alone. for God does not share his glory with anyone.

GOD WILL FIGHT YOUR BATTLE EXODUS 14:14 “THE LORD SHALL FIGHT FOR YOU, AND YE SHALL HOLD YOUR PEACE. GOD FIGHTING OUR BATTLES IS A DIVINE ASSURANCE ANCHORED ON THE FACT THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING HIS WILL AND LEADING. THEREFORE, TO QUALIFY FOR GOD TO FIGHT FOR YOU, YOU MUST ABIDE BY HIS COMMANDMENTS AND LEAD. THE PROMISE IN OUR ANCHOR SCRIPTURE WAS COMING AT THE INSTANCE OF THE DEPARTURE OF THE ISRAELITES IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S INSTRUCTION THROUGH MOSES. GOD FOUGHT ALL THEIR BATTLES AS LONG AS THEY WALK IN OBEDIENCE TO HIS COMMANDS AND LEADING. EVEN WHEN THEY WERE CHALLENGED AT THE RED SEA, WITH THE RED SEA IN THEIR FRONT AND THE EGYPTIANS (WHO ARE IN THEIR HOT PURSUIT TO EITHER RETURN THEM TO EGYPT OR DESTROY THEM) AT THEIR BACK. BUT GOD ROSE AND FOUGHT THEIR BATTLE FOR THEM. IN TRUTH AND CONFIRMATION OF HIS WORDS, THAT THE EYES OF THE LORD RUN TO AND FRO TO PROTECT THE RIGHTEOUS AS CAPTURED
