THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

God has imparted His nature of righteousness to you, and that’s what makes you like Him. That nature makes you think, see, and talk like Him. You’ve been raised to His level through Christ.

Beloved, righteousness makes us rulers and establishes our dominion in life. You’re not a victim, but a victor in Christ Jesus, why, you and I walk from the victory positioned Jesus got for us.  That’s why John declared, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

Every child of God is a king in this life, and called to reign in righteousness. Righteousness gives you the ability to stand in the presence of God without condemnation; to stand in fellowship with God, having His rightness in your spirit. This is where our audacity of faith comes from.

The Bible says He’s made us kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth. Kings reign by issuing decrees and pronouncements; Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, “Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, what doest thou?” No wonder the Bible says you shall decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you (Job 22:28).

Confession In righteousness, I reign and rule in life, bringing glory to your Name. I walk in perpetual victory, manifesting your glory in every place, in Jesus’ Name. Amen

Further Reading: Romans 5:17 (AMPC): For if because of one man’s trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Revelation 5:10 (KJV) And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Read through the Bible: Ezekiel 41 & Psalm 92-93
