Daily Word 🇬🇭

Fight the good fight
Proverbs 2:11
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee.

When the Apostle Paul talks about ” fight the good fight”, he means make full proof of your ministry. Do your best to fulfill your ministry as an ambassador of Christ in spite of the challenges you face.

The verse above indicates that “discretion” or being careful about our actions as ambassadors of Christ will help us maintain our ministry. “Understanding” or realizing the intended meaning of our ministry will help fulfill it.

2 Timothy 2:3 says
Endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs – he wants to please his commanding officer.

As ambassadors of Christ we should all have the mindset of a soldier with the aim of pleasing our commanding officer at all times.

2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith

At the end of life’s journey, every christian should be able to say like the Apostle Paul that we have fought the good fight and kept the faith.

We should not renounce our faith in the face of hardship
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Fight the good fight of faith such that you will win

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song

Fight the good fight
With all thy might
Christ is thy strength
And Christ thy right
Lay hold on life
And it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally

Faint not nor fear
His arm is near
He changeth not
And thou art dear
Only believe and thou shall see
Christ is all in all
To thee
Amen
