Stand your ground.

Sunday, December 18th.
Stand your ground.

“Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” 1 Peter 5:9

The realm of faith is the realm of the blessing. Therefore as a blessed man or woman, what should be your response in difficult times? You must not let your heart be afraid neither should you begin to talk negatively like the rest of the world.

Putting down the guard of your faith is giving satan permission to attack you. Do not be intimidated by challenges which satan throws at you. Satan is not all knowing; he does not know if your hedge is broken or not. Therefore to test the hedge around you, he throws some challenges at you to see if your hedge has been broken. He will know from your response; what you say when challenges arise against you. Do you begin to speak negatively? You will be a prey to satan that way. But when you counter your challenges by speaking the Word of God to them, you are resisting the devil and he will flee from you.

Do not be afraid of challenges or trials. They will come but in the midst of them all you are more than a conqueror. Therefore, when challenges come that is the time to believe and stand in faith. That is the time to confess that the blessing is working in your life. Why? It is because the realm of faith is the realm of blessing and as long as you are functioning in faith, the blessing will be working.

Confession.
Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. Thanks be unto God who has given me the victory through my Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, I stand strong, unmovable and steadfast, abounding in the work of the Lord and undaunted in the face of challenges.

John 16:33, Ephesians 6:10-18, 1 Timothy 6:12.

Doing the Word.
Do not speak negatively.
