Keep on Fighting the Good Fight of Faith

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while,


“He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.”


But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. – Hebrews 10:35-39

I have been silent for a long time now. My life has been filled with many challenges, changes and choices. Things have been difficult but through it all, I chose to hold onto the one thing that is constant and never changes – Almighty God. No-one is happy all the time; unless they are crazy! We all have our ups and downs. Anyone can have faith when things are going well but let’s face it – how do you hold on to faith when everything around you is falling apart.

I moved across the Atlantic to escape all the things that troubled and plagued my mind only to realize that you can never truly run away from yourself. I have since learnt that God is everywhere I am because He lives in me and works through me. No matter where I go and what happens, God will always be with me. In the last eighteen months, I have changed jobs, lost my home and lost one of the most important people in the world to me – my mother.

I am beginning to find my way now. My faith continues to give me the power and the strength to keep pressing forward. We all love and we all lose at some point; who am I to believe that my case will be different? What have I learnt in the past year and half? Hold on to the people you love. Take the few extra minutes a day to tell them how much they mean to you, don’t hold back. Take every disappointment in your stride and never give up. The Bible reminds us that ‘this too shall pass’. Challenges will come and they will go. Whatever doesn’t kill you will definitely make you stronger.

Never lose confidence in who you are and what you have accomplished. Troubles have a way of making us feel smaller than the giants we have been created to be. Know who you are and whose you are. No matter what comes your way, keep on fighting and never lose your conviction or give in. You will surely outlive the obstacles in your way.
