YOUR RIGHTEOUS NATURE IS CONSTANT

“He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV)

Beloved, it is an insult to God and the finished work of Christ for you as a believer to call yourself a sinner. I didn’t say you won’t do wrong, but that does not change your standing. If a goat falls into the mud, does he become a pig? The answer is no. It is still a goat. So, why is it that when you fall into mud in your walk with God, you now say you are no more righteous? This is how believers have lived over the years. The devil is having a big laugh because believers believe they are no longer righteous for any mistake or wrong that they commit. If that is why Christ died, then, He failed!

Jesus did a perfect work. The problem we are having is that we believe wrongly. Until you believe rightly, you cannot live right. In the old covenant it was do good and get good, do bad get bad. But in the new covenant there is nothing like getting bad. You have been delivered from the Kingdom of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of his dear son. You are not less a Christian because you made a mistake. You are still a child of God. And if you give up the Ghost now, you will still be in heaven.

Stop being sin conscious and become righteousness conscious. The bible says awake to righteousness and sin not. When you are awake and you understand your right standing with God, you will understand that righteousness is a gift. It is not obtained because you did anything right. You will not sin because it is the work of Grace. As a new covenant believer, for you to stop doing wrong, God does you good first. He doesn’t do you bad so that you can stop doing bad. He does you good. That is how He functions with you. God does you good always. So, it is contrary to covenant relationship for a believer to expect bad things. Grace is unmerited, undeserved, and unearned.

DAILY CONFESSION

Blessed is the LORD: for He has showed me His marvelous kindness in a strong city. For His merciful kindness is great toward me: and His truth endures forever. I am convinced that all things work together for my good, because I love God and because I am the called according to His purpose; so I do not fret about anything; but in everything, I give thanks to God the Father. (Ps 31:21, Ps117:2, Rom. 8:28; 1Thess 5:18)

I am delivered from the strivings of the people and I am made the head of the heathens and a people that I have not known shall serve me. As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. Strangers shall submit themselves unto me they shall fade away and shall be afraid out of their close places. I am reigning in Christ Jesus because I have received His grace in abundance… (Psalm 18:43-45, Rom 5:17).

Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.

I am called for a purpose; I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom. Therefore, I declare that I am a person of integrity, I am spiritually fervent, I am accountable in all I do because I’ve been raised to live the Kingdom Life here on earth.

It is my day of Rest!
