Leader's Prayer Meeting

Speaker: Pastor Ambrose Nwogu
Topic: Prevailing by faith (Fight the good Fight) 

Text: 1 Timothy 1:18 -19→"Timothy, my child, I am instructing you in keeping with the prophecies made earlier about you, so that by following them you may continue to fight the good fight with faith and a good conscience. By ignoring their consciences, some people have destroyed their faith like a wrecked ship."

* Faith in God is very important for all of human endeavour

* Galatians 5:6 →"for in union with the Messiah Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision matters. What matters is faith expressed through love." (ISV)

* The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love

* As a child of God,  you are expected to pursue faith.
→ Do not keep your eyes on people
→ People will fail you

* Those who walk by faith in life experience an unexplainable joy

* Fixing your eyes on people will not promote the fight of faith

* You must have desires that:
→ promote the Kingdom of God
→ have eternal value

* Godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Timothy 6:6)

* Matthew 6:33 →"But first be concerned about God’s kingdom and his righteousness, and all of these things will be provided for you as well."
