MEMORY VERSE:

TODAY’S TEXT:
1 Timothy 6:11-12.
“But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
To begin with, in our memory verse, the Lord declared: “Occupy till I come.” So, what is to hold? What is the fort?
To hold is take up and keep. That’s to have, to take control, to make happen, to believe, to wait, to continue, to defend and to remain strong.
Therefore, the fort can be describe as an area enclosed and heavily defended from internal or external attack. It can be a precious gems, a beautiful edifice,
or something extremely useful and important to you.
Nevertheless, beloved in Christ, your life is a fort, your faith in Christ Jesus is a fort, your family is a fort and not to forget that your future is also part of the forts that you need to hold dearly.
However, to hold the fort, we must consider the following: 1. We must believe firmly that, with God all things are possible. 2. We must wait on God’s timing for a lasting blessings. 3. We must defend our faith and the weak ones among us. 4. We must also continue the good work of love and righteousness. 5. We must remain strong in the face of hostilities.
Finally, one of our classical Hymns encourage us by saying:
“Hold the fort, for I am coming, Jesus signal still, wave the answer back to Heaven, by Thy grace we will.” And it further states that; “Fierce and long the battle rage, but our help is near, onward comes our great commander, cheers, my comrade, cheers!” Dear friend, praise God, pray to God, study the word of God, and fast to keep fit spiritually and strength will be yours always.
May the good Lord sustain you till the end in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.
DAILY CONFESSION:
I will hold the fort, I will not give up on God.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, sustain me in the battle of life. Help me Lord, not to give in to the pressure and attack from the enemies both within and without in Jesus name. Amen.
