Contend for the faith!

Day 299 Reading: The Book of Jude We are living in days that can be best described as the last days. This is evident when you see the backsliding of many who are oblivious to the fact that they are backslidden and don't desire to hear any person pointing out that they are living in sin. Even worse is how believers have taken to discuss the body of Christ with anyone and everyone. Our faith is being fought and many believers are being used to deny the faith yet they are not aware.  Do you know that more persecutions take place today more than any other time in history? Do you know in some places that were once God-fearing, wearing a cross can lead to being fired from your job? Places that worshipped God no longer do. Churches are being converted to shrines and apartments. While this is happening some believers are fighting other believers on matters that don't matter.

Contend for the Promise

Day 65 Reading: Josh. 11:1-Josh. 14:15 Learning to daily contend for faith is a lesson many, including me, don't like. We all love peace and war doesn't make it easy. However, one must contend for the land(promise). The land for you and I may be health, a job, business, well being, career, ministry or any promise in the Bible. Faith is raising a shield of the promises of God and contending with the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.  I believe that the promises of God are alive and God has not changed His position towards them. God is looking for those who will be desirous to see His Word established. Joshua heeded to do according to the instructions Moses had given regarding taking over the land. In every place the people were executed and apart from the Gibeonites all others were killed in battle. Notice that God brought about the battle. Stop fighting God who is causing you to battle your enemies so as to take over the land. Listen to the voice of God...
