The word “Good Fight” as taught by Paul the Apostle automatically implies that there is such a thing as a “bad fight”. (1 Timothy 6:12)
Any kind of contention that does not lead to the revelation of God’s glory, the glorification of Jesus Christ, and to the fulfillment of your destiny is a bad fight.
Every fight motivated by selfishness, flesh, lust, influence of evil spirits is a bad fight.
Conversely, any contention that leads to the revelation of Jesus Christ and the revelation of the same is a good fight.
Any kind of contention that leads to the growth of the Believer and causes the life of God to be made manifest in greater dimensions is a Good Fight. The fight of faith is how to make the realities that are finished in Christ become functional in your life here and now. What is a Bad Fight?
• A bad fight is any contention that does not lead to the revelation of Jesus Christ and the glorification of the saint.
• It is any kind of fight that does not lead to making our world a better place
• It is every right motivated by lust, flesh, selfishness, and evil spirit.
What is a Good Fight?
• A good fight is any contention that leads to the growth of the Believer and the glorification of the saints.
• Any battle that does not have a reward is a bad fight.
• A good fight is the contention and overall spiritual process that leads to establishing and manifesting the victory of Christ as a functional, present-day reality in the life of a Believer.
Why The Fight of Faith is Necessary:
1. Because there is the legal side of redemption as described by E.W kenyon which talks about realities that are finished in Christ but not inputted automatically in the life of the Believer, while the vital side of redemption talks about the dynamics of making those realities manifest. Healings, salvation and blessings of all sorts are finished in Christ but may not necessarily be made manifest in your life without faith and engaging the mysteries of the kingdom.
2. Satan and all demonic forces are stubborn and rebellious spirits. He is more aware than you of what Jesus Christ did on the cross, because he was the principal victim of what Jesus did. As such, he will not let you go, hence the need for a good fight of faith.
No one is born transformed. Transformation is one of the labour dimensions of faith. It takes hard work, and nobody receives the gift of transformation. Transformation does not mean a total erasing of the information in your mind; rather, it is an editing of files that do not align with God’s Word and plans for your life. Six Aspects To The Fight Of Faith:
1. The contention for accuracy of thoughts, ideas, and belief systems (2 Corinthians 10:4-5). The journey of transformation is a fight; it is real warfare. Because it’s a battle against ancient thoughts that have been passed down for generations. The real warfare here is the warfare of replacing thoughts and belief systems. Before Satan attacks, he sends a mindset.
2. The labour of establishing spiritual realities, through words, in prayer (Matthew 12:37, Isaiah 43:26, 41:21) This is using faith-filled declarations to program your victory. You cannot separate dominion from words/speakings. When you stay in the place of prayer, it is a fight of faith.
3. The labour and the contention to walk consistently and perpetually in obedience. (Isaiah 1:19, 2 Corinthians 10:6) Obedience is painful, it is warfare! Obedience is expensive, and can be discouraging. There are times obedience leads to loneliness; it makes you controversial and even confused, but the profit of obedience cannot be quantified. If you have not faced the pain of obedience, then you have not really obeyed God.
4. Contending against demonic spirits and satanic infrastructures (James 4:7, Ephesians 6:12) Spirits and demons are real, and our contention is beyond the human realm. The Believer who ignores the realities and the presence of satan may have his or her destiny as the price to pay for that ignorance.
5. The patience and the persistence of faith i.e. waiting in hope until your promise manifests (Hebrews 6:12, 15, Romans 8:25)
Fighting does not only mean motion, it means stamina. The difference between waiting in faith and hope, and just waiting, is that you’re waiting on what God has said, as against waiting just by your imagination. Patience births maturity.
6. The wisdom to navigate the complexities that exist in the world of men.
