DOING RIGHTEOUSNESS

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
I John 3:7 (KJV)

Do you notice that our opening text says “let no man deceive you?” That is because there was and still is a teaching that once saved is always saved no matter the kind of life you lead. The teaching says that you have the nature of righteousness therefore, you can never be wrong or unrighteous. Our opening text is saying that such teaching is deceptive. If the nature of righteousness you claim to have does not manifest in practical righteousness, then it is fake. The nature of righteousness makes people to do righteousness. It does not engender to sin and iniquity. You cannot be swimming in iniquity while still claiming that you have the nature of righteousness because by their fruits we shall know them (see Matthew 7:16, 20). If it is grape fruit that you are producing, you cannot claim that you have the nature of orange. Never! What shows us who you are is the fruit that you are bearing. At least that is what the Lord Yahushua taught us. So, there is a doing of righteousness. You are standing right with Yahweh by redemption and that not of anything that you could ever do. It is a gift of Yahweh because of what the Lord Yahushua did for us at Calvary.

RIGHTEOUSNESS NATURE

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away? behold, all things are become new.
I Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

The problem of sin is not just an act but a nature. Sin is a nature in the unsaved. That is why just a decision to stop doing something cannot suffice because sin is who you are if you are not born again. In the same vein, for the believer, there is a new nature called the nature of righteousness which you received at salvation. You are not a refurbished person at salvation, you are a new creation. This literally means that you are now a new specie of being that has not existed before. That is the mystery of righteousness. While you are seeing yourself as someone that just believed in Yahushua as Lord, the real fact is that you are a new creation that does not have a past. That is because your past was crucified with HaMashiach on Calvary. So, quit feeling the pain of what you did in the past, the record no longer exist at that point you believed and confessed with your mouth the Lordship of HaMashiach, your past was wiped out. You are now a new creation, a new specie of being that has no past. That is not all. You now have a new nature and that is the nature of Yahweh, the nature of righteousness. This new nature is what makes it possible for you to be able to stand before Yahweh sinless and able to accommodate divine presence. This nature of righteousness is why you can live a holy life. Without being righteous, you cannot live righteous. Your being determines your doing. Why does a lion roar? Because he is a lion and it is in his nature to roar. Why does a sinner commit sin? Because he is a sinner and sin is his nature.

THE GENESIS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

THE GENESIS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin? that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV)

Righteousness means in right standing with Yahweh. Yahweh created man and placed him in Eden. In Eden, man was in right standing with Yahweh. We saw in Genesis 3:8 that Yahweh was walking in the garden in the cool of the day. He usually comes to fellowship with man in the cool of the day. It takes righteousness to stand before the Lord. Then, man committed treason and fall from his right standing position with the Father. Consequently, he lost the presence of Yahweh, and was driven out of the Eden, the place of delight. Sin is at the root of every form of deprivation in life. Sin was what pushed man out of the presence of Yahweh. In the interim, Yahweh was walking with people as they choose to obey His instructions to them. That was how Abraham stood out. Abraham was a Yahweh addict. Yahweh’s instructions was the delight of Abraham and that won him a covenant with the El-Shaddai. Then through the descendants of Abraham, the law was introduced to see if man can align in right standing again with Yahweh. But throughout all generations, no man has been able to keep the law. Yahweh saw the deplorable situation of humanity and decided to come to their rescue. Yahweh came in the person of Yahushua HaMashiach and fulfilled the law. Yahushua HaMashiach became sin, so that we can become the righteousness of Yahweh in Him according to our opening text.

THE HORRORS OF SIN (4): ABSENCE OF PEACE

THE HORRORS OF SIN (4): ABSENCE OF PEACE

There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
Isaiah 48:22 (KJV)

One of the first thing that happened to Adam at the fall was the lose of peace. Peace is that state of tranquillity spirit, soul and body. Peace is the absence of war both within and without. Peace is a state of perfect fellowship with Yahweh where man’s obedience is confirmed. At the fall, the first thing that happened to Adam was that he discovered he was afraid. There was a looming sense of conflict, war and contempt spiritually that made him hide from the presence of the Lord. The presence that he used to enjoy before was now making him afraid. Surely and truly, there is no peace unto the wicked. The wicked is the person that lives in rebellion against the Word of Yahweh. The wicked is that one that scorns obedience to the Word of Yahweh. Sin destroys the presence of Yahweh which guarantees peace and leaves us with war both within and without. You cannot truly be at peace with sin alive in you. One of the greatest treasures in this life is peace. Once, there is no peace, then every other thing will breakdown; health, marriage, career, business, etc. Literally, if there is war, everything shuts down. That is how destiny shuts down by sin. When there is no peace, life begins to shut down. So, peace is an inevitable asset in the race of life.

THE SPIRIT OF FAITH

THE SPIRIT OF FAITH

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
II Corinthians 4:13 (KJV)

There is the spirit of Faith. The spirit of faith is a speaking spirit that enables you to speak the word of Yahweh before any situation. The spirit of faith empowers you to say what is written in spite of the happenings. The spirit of faith is faith operating from your spirit. It is faith irrespective of the climate insisting for a turnaround and not repudiating until it is delivered. There is a difference between the word of Faith and the Spirit of Faith. The Word of Faith gives you light to enable you act on it. The Spirit of Faith moves you to act on the word. The Spirit drives you (see Mark 1:12). When the spirit of Faith is in operation, reasoning is deactivated. The Spirit of Faith drives you to achieve the purpose of Yahweh and will not stop until it is achieved. In Numbers chapters 13 and 14, we saw the story of the twelve spies sent by Moses and their report. All twelve of them saw the same thing, but they reported differently. What was the difference? In Numbers 14:24 says, ‘But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.’ That another spirit is the spirit of faith. From this story, let us briefly outline what the spirit of offers:

HOW TO PUT YOUR FAITH TO WORK (2): BY ACTING ON THE WORD

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
Luke 17:14 (KJV)

Faith is not a mystery. Faith is responding in obedience to the Word of the Lord – the Bible. Stop struggling to believe; just behave the Word and you commit the one that spoke it to perform. Do you know Yahweh has exalted his Word above all His name? Psalm 138:2 says, “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”. One of the things that cannot fail in life is the Word of Yahweh – the Bible. If you can find what is written and act on it, you can rewrite your story. As a believer, you are not helpless and powerless. Faith is the force that makes the almightiness of Yahweh available at your instance. The process of producing proofs is get what is written, activate it by speaking to yourself, devil and Yahweh, receive it by acting out your side of the deal. Every word of Yahweh gives you opportunity of a response.

HOW TO PUT YOUR FAITH TO WORK (1): BY CONFESSION

HOW TO PUT YOUR FAITH TO WORK (1): BY CONFESSION

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Mark 11:23 (KJV)

There is the law of faith that you must learn today. This law of faith states that CONFESSION OF THE PROMISES OF YAHWEH COMES BEFORE POSSESSION OF THE PROMISES. We must learn this law if we are going to be successful. I boldly declare and confess Yahweh’s Word, then and only then do I possess the promised blessing or benefit. I make my lips do the work. I give the Word its place. I take sides with the Word. If I side in with the disease and pain, there is no healing for me. But I repudiate the disease and the sickness with my words, which are an expression of my faith in Yahweh’s Word. My confession gives me possession.

THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (4): SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES

THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (4): SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.Isaiah 45:3 (KJV)

Mark 13:37 says, “And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.” There is a supernatural supplies agenda that your heavenly Father provided for you in His love. Existing in empty-handedness is an error. Financial quagmire is not for you. There is an abundance provision that has your name tagged on it. Our opening text was addressed to a Cyrus. What Yahweh is saying to Cyrus, He is also saying to Pastor Prince and to you. There are treasures of darkness where natural human eyes cannot access. There are riches in secret places stored away from the wicked and unreasonable men for you. It doesn’t matter your work or profession, lack and want is never in the deal for you. Supernatural supplies is Yahweh’s agenda for you. Supernatural supplies is supplies that comes from the hand of Yahweh through His own orchestration that is beyond human calculation. Your work is not your source of supplies. Your work is a channel but the source remains your heavenly Father and there is no dull moment in His supply system. I want you to blast poverty mentality away from your life from today. There is nothing He cannot give you in the process of time when you show yourself to be ready and mature enough for it.

THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (3): PRESERVATION

He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
Deuteronomy 32:10 (KJV)

Yahweh’s love has placed you at the best and most strategic place where no harm, absolutely none can come through to you. Before something can hurt you, it must have defeated the Father Yahweh, defeated the Holy Spirit, defiled the Almighty name of Yahushua before it can reach you. You are hid in Yahweh and by His love have become the apple of His eye. That is why we say that you are too defended to be defeated. You are too protected to be perforated and punctured by the enemy. You should be walking with your head held high at all times. If you are in that aircraft, it is not permitted to drop. If you are on the road, your eyes is not permitted to see accident let alone being a victim. You cannot be a victim of Satan’s agenda and conspiracy, all because you are the son/daughter of His love.

THE POWER OF YAHWEH’S LOVE (2): BRINGS MERCY

“Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.”
Jude 1:21 (KJV)

Beloved, after this month in this #WordForTodayDevotional, you will never have any reason to hold down your head any more in life. The love of the Father has procured His mercy upon you. By that love, you have become the object of His mercy. This is mind-blowing to say the least. Romans 9:22-23 says, “23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?” The Father’s love has made us the vessels of mercy. That means that there is nothing that runs in your generation that should be part of your life. There is no wrath of the enemy or even the curse of Yahweh (if any) on your lineage that should be part of your experience today. This is because you are now the vessel of His mercy. His love has brought us His mercy.
