“STANDING FIRM ON OUR FAITH IN CHRIST”
August 2026
It is very important for all Christians to stand firm on our faith, not in anything else, but in
Jesus Christ. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus, but we must be firm in our faith until
the end of our journey. We also must alert others about the danger of abandoning our faith.
Prophet Ezequiel wrote: “Son of men, speak to your country men and say to them; when I bring
the sword against a land the people of the land, choose one of their men and make him their
watchman, and he sees the sword coming against the land, and blows the trumpet to warn the
people, then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warnings and the sword comes and
take his life, his blood will be on his own head. Since he heard the trumpet but did not take
warning, his blood will be on. His own head. If he had taken warning, he would be saved
himself. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, to warn the
people, and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away
because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.” (Ezekiel 33:2-6)
We have the responsibility to alert people about what is about to happen. We are under attack,
and must be awake. The apostle Paul wrote these words: “Therefore it says, ‘Awake O sleeper,
and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” (Ephesians 5:14)
God called the prophet Habakkuk to bring a message to let Israel know about the imminent
danger that the nation was about to face. He prophesied during a time when Israel was under the
dominion of Babylon. Israel and Judah were in a spiritual detachment from God. We are
experiencing a similar spiritual condition of Habakkuk’s time. Israel and Judah were practicing
the same sins other nations were practicing. God called Habakkuk as a watchman to bring a
message of alert to Israel. Today God is calling us to be watchmen and watchwomen to alert
people about the imminent judgement God is about to bring to this earth. For this reason, we must
be awake.
Our enemy wants to destroy us, for this reason, we must be alert, and firm in our faith in
Christ. The apostle Peter wrote: “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be
prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you
have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” (1 Peter 3:15) We will face temptations to
believe and do what other people do, but we do not have to follow them. We must stand firm in
what we believe. King Solomon wrote: “My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them.”
Proverbs 1:10) The devil has a PHD in division; he does all he can to divide marriages, families,
churches and nations, but we are responsible to protect our family, our church, and our faith
from the attacks of the devil and his demons. We are mandatory reporters. Peter wrote: “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy, the devil, prowls like a roaring lion looking for someone to
devour.” (1 Peter 5:8) Our society is going from bad to worse. Most people, including
Christians are pushing God out of their hearts and out of their churches, but there are others who
are firm in their faith in Christ, the rock of our foundation.
