1Timothy 6verse12. ‘Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witness.
Dearly Beloved, you are welcome back to our discourse on dealing with the enemies of your Faith. Our faith has certain enemies that can limit its effectiveness and operations. This is why you need to know how to deal with such an enemy. An enemy is a foe, opponent, or adversary. By the special grace of God, I will begin today by sharing with you some of those enemies and how you can combat them. My dear brothers and sisters, there are ways of dealing with an enemy, and am super excited that God is going to be putting into your hands such tools for dealing with the Enemies of Your Faith. So, what are these enemies and how do you deal with them?
1. Ignorance. This is a powerful enemy of your faith that many a believer suffers from but glory be to God, there is a way out of this mess. When you are Ignorant, you lack understanding or knowledge of what God says in his word. This is usually not good for your faith because your faith is going to be weak in the areas where you are Ignorant.Jn8v32.So what’s the antidote to Ignorance? It’s seeking out the will of God or finding out what God has to say about that issue or thing. Where do you find out such information? It is embedded in the Word of God. As you read, hear, study and meditate on God’s Word, you get more knowledgeable. And the more knowledgeable you are, the stronger your faith and vice versa Also.Pro4v5,7
So, it’s time to get Wisdom. It’s time to be in the know. Enough of walking in the dark. Stop allowing the enemy of exploiting your Ignorance to his advantage. Word Up and you will discover that your faith will be much more effective and powerful. Ignorance is costly and expensive. So, say no to Ignorance at all cost. So, what are the means by which you can become more knowledgeable of God’s Word? How can you know the Truth? You can know the truth by the following means:
–Find out for yourself what God has to say. This is one of the most profitable things you can do to help your faith. Isa34v16
–Walk with Those who know. There are people who are more knowledgeable in God’s word, when you associate with such people, you make your job much easier. So, choose your association wisely. Pro13v20; 1Cor8v3
–Ask the right kind of Questions in your Study of God’s will. As you read and study God’s word, ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate your eyes of understanding. This is one of the reasons he is there in the first place. As you ask questions, he will shine his light on those areas and give you understanding. Acts8v30-31
My Dearly Beloved Ones, I believe that today will mark the beginning of a new day in your life as you begin to embrace the truth of God’s Word. Darkness is going to be replaced with light and your faith is gaining momentum in Jesus name Amen. I can also see you gaining mastery over this enemy. If you believe this, say a big AMEN.

Prayer for Today: In The name of Jesus, I gain Mastery over Ignorance from Today by the Knowledge of his Word!
CONFESSION: My Days of walking in the dark are over because I have access to the Truth of his Word. As I grow in the knowledge of his Word, so is my Faith Growing also. Therefore, I choose to feed my FAITH instead of feeding my Ignorance. And as I do so, I walk in dominion over Ignorance in the name of Jesus Amen.
