Contending for the faith š„š„
He emphasized that as believers, we must be ready to contend for the faith that was once delivered unto us. Jude 1:3.
We were made to understand that there is an opposition and we (the Church) will be vehemently opposed, hence fighting is okay.
Here are some key points to note from this sermon;
- For the gospel to prevail, you must be willing to fight for it.
- ā To contend for the faith, you must be open to opposition.
- ā The devil tries to deceive the believer into thinking that it is a sin to fight for what you believe.
- ā A Church that does not contend will die.
- ā As long as youāre getting it right, there will be opponents.
Ā
Three strategies the devil uses against the church;
1. He gaslights Christians into believing that they shouldnāt have a voice.
2. He abuses the Church.
3. He deploys means to exterminate the Church of God.
It was further emphasized that contention also involves spiritual discernment.
Every aspect of Christianity will take contention. In evangelism, in discipleship, and spirituality.
Believers must be discerning of the fact that the devil is behind every war against the church, and recognize that there are spirit entities working behind the scenes.
Finally, Jesus commanded in Matthew 5:11-12, that it is something to be happy about when persecuted, and for us to rejoice! And this indeed is our responseš„³š„³
