ANOINTING SERVICE – 8TH SEPTEMBER 2019
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE(S): PSALM 97:6
MESSAGE TOPIC: RIGHTEOUSNESS (UPRIGHTNESS) AND THE GLORY
BY: DR. PAUL ENENCHE

SERVICE OBJECTIVES:

1. Understanding the relationship between righteousness or uprightness and the glory
2. Understanding righteousness and its connection with the Oil

Where the righteousness of God is declared, His glory is seen.
You cannot see righteousness and not see the glory (Isa. 58:8b).
The Scriptures establish a very strong connection between righteousness and the Glory

THINGS TO NOTE:

1. When your righteousness is visible, the Glory is visible (Isa. 2:2)
2. The habitation of holiness is also the habitation of Glory (Isa. 63:15)
   Anywhere holiness can be found, Glory can be found
3. The availability of holiness is the establishment of gloriousness (Ex. 15:11)
   Whatever is holy must experience glory
4. The availability of sin/iniquity will result in the bankruptcy of the Glory (Rom. 3:23)

HOW RIGHTEOUSNESS FACILITATES THE GLORY:

1. The Glory flourishes in the climate of righteousness and holiness (Ex. 15:11)
   The Glory disappears in the climate of unrighteousness or sin (Rom. 3:23)
   The climate of righteousness is the fertile ground for the germination of the Glory
2. Righteousness or holiness is the essential nature of God and where the nature of God is found, the Glory abounds (Ps. 99:5; Ex. 15:11)
   If you can uphold the nature of God in character, you won’t beg for the Glory
3. Righteousness or holiness guarantees existence in God’s Presence and God’s Presence is the depot of Glory (Ps. 24:3-4; Isa. 63:15)
   You live with God if you uphold righteousness and living with God ensures you are soaked in Glory

WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS?

1. Righteousness is loving what God loves and hating what God hates (Ps.45:6-7)
   It is complete alignment with God in all things
   Ungodliness is liking what God hates and hating what God likes; it is taking pleasure out of what gives God pain
2. Righteousness is taking a stand for right irrespective of who is taking the opposite stand (Ex. 32:26)
   It is standing for what is right even if it means standing alone
3. Righteousness is living with a pure, clear and lively conscience (Acts 24:16; 1Tim. 4:2)
   Always have a conscience that is awake
4. Righteousness is living by the principles of God rather than the principles or standards of the world (Eccl. 12:13)
   It is living by the rules of the Kingdom of God and not by the rules of the systems of the earth
5. Righteousness is living for God instead of living for self (Phil. 1:21)
   It is making God the centre of your life and not making yourself the centre of your life
6. Righteousness is living with the consciousness of the end (Eccl. 12:13-14)
   It is living with the end in mind; living with eternity in view
   It is living as a stranger and pilgrim on the earth
7. Righteousness is living in the fear and reverence of God (Eccl. 12:13)
   You allow the fear of God to guide your steps or actions
   If people have the fear of God, they will be cautious with action
8. Righteousness is living to give God pleasure with your life (Matt. 3:17)
   There are people who give God pleasure with their lives while there are others who give God pain with their lives
   God is looking forward to bringing us to the point where He is happy with us
9. Righteousness is living with the God-first mindset (Matt. 6:33)
   It is allowing God to have the first place and the final say on all issues pertaining to your life on the earth

OUTCOME OF LIVING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS:

1. Anointing and lifting above your contemporaries (Ps. 45:6-8; Gen. 37:2,5-7, 41:39-44; Dan. 1:8, 2:48;
   Ex. 32:26; Gen. 49:5-7; Num. 25:7, 10-13)
   SCRIPTURAL EXAMPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THE GLORY
   a. Joseph and Daniel (Gen. 37:2,5-7, 41:39-44; Dan. 1:8)
   b. Levi (Gen. 49:5-7; Ex. 32:26)
   c. Phinehas (Num. 25:7, 10-13)
   When you are passionate for God and have decided to live for God, don’t let the success of any unbeliever intimidate you, because God is too faithful to forget your labour of love
2. Satisfaction and fulfilment in life (Ps. 45:7, 51:10-12; Luke 10:17; Ps. 35:27)
   You cannot be on the path of righteousness and escape joy and gladness
3. The fragrance of Divine favour and acceptance (Ps. 45:7-8; 5:12; Dan. 1:8-9; Esth. 2:15; Prov. 14:9)
   You don’t have to compromise to get favour; there is favour you get by character and integrity
