GLORIOUS BENEFITS OF RECEIVING THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD (1)
James 5:16 (AMPC), Psalms 34:19
Confess to one another therefore your faults (…) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. *Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
One glorious benefit of receiving the righteousness of God is it enhances your prayer life. Because you are the righteousness of God, you are qualified for what you are praying for. Whenever you are praying, you should be conscious that you are righteous. Stop being sin-conscious and stop praying as if you don’t deserve what you’re praying for. Because of Christ, you are righteous, and because of Christ, you deserve God’s all of God’s goodness, glory, power, and blessings. When you pray, God does not look for any reason to deny you of what you’re asking for; He answers you lovingly and abundantly just as He would answer Christ, (James 1:5). Pray with this boldness and confidence.
Another glorious benefit of receiving the righteousness of God is it strengthens our faith to go through our trials and challenges. Some believers are too quick to think that something is wrong with them whenever they are going through afflictions. God’s word says as a righteous person you will go through many afflictions; not because something is wrong with you. It is because you are righteous that you are facing those afflictions. Don’t allow your afflictions to shake your faith make you think negative thoughts and say “Something must be wrong with me.” Instead, thank God that you are righteous, and that because of that, He will deliver you from that affliction. Stand strong in faith.
Prayer:
Father, I thank you that because I am righteous I can pray more effectively. I also thank you that my victory over afflictions is sure.
