THANKFUL FOR JULY 2026

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Colossians 1:12 (BBE)

Here at #WordForTodayDevotional, we devote the last day of every month as our thanksgiving day where we celebrate the grace of Yahweh that has seen us through the month. We do not take for granted the mercies of the Lord from the first of the month to today the thirty-first. We have had a bath of the Word of righteousness and holiness this month and we owe the Lord thanks. What is thanksgiving and what does it hold for the believer? Thanksgiving is realizing the grace and mercy of Yahweh upon our lives and returning to Him with praise, giving Him glory. Thanksgiving is returning to the Lord with a loud voice giving Him glory for the goodness and mercy we have seen. Thanksgiving is appreciating Yahweh for who He is, a great God, a merciful God, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love (see Exodus 34:6; Deuteronomy 10:17). Thanksgiving is knowing that the Lord is the source of whatever blessing we have experienced and returning to the Lord with joy, gratitude, praise and worship, giving Him glory.

Beloved, the Lord is waiting for you to return with thanksgiving before you can see the next level. Whatever blessing you have now can be perfected but that is only if you agree to return with thanksgiving. Luke 17:17-18 says, ‘17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.’ Your complaining is the reason things are still complicated in your life. Your murmuring is what has been responsible in dragging your destiny to the mud. Your grumbling is the one factor that is causing your destiny to groove in darkness without any ray of light at the end of the tunnel. Would you not repent today and know that not to return with thanksgiving is shooting yourself on the foot. So, one benefit of returning with thanksgiving is perfection of blessing. When the man healed of leprosy returned with a loud voice, the Lord Jesus said to him, “Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.” (see Luke 17:19).

Another benefit of returning with thanksgiving and praise is divine presence. Your thanksgiving is the gateway to the presence of Yahweh. Psalms 100:4 says, ‘Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.’ So if you are the person that is given to returning to the Lord with thanksgiving, you will never lack His presence in your life. When the presence of Yahweh is with you, the sea of life will see you and flee, the mountains will skip like rams and hills like lambs (see Psalms 114:3). You will literally know no barrier in life. Your life will enter autopilot of success and blessings. That shall be your portion from now!

REMEMBER: It is righteousness to return with thanksgiving and praise to Yahweh.

THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, we are not worthy of the least of Your mercies. What shall we say for bringing us to the end of this great month, no loss, no tears, we saw goodness and mercies, abundance of blessings in front and at the back. Thank You for the salvation of my soul. Thank You for the continuous flow of Your Word on this platform. Thank You for Your preservation, provision and supplies. Thank You for encounter with the Spirit of holiness this month. To You alone be all the glory in the Name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Having returned with thanksgiving today, I declare that everything with your name on it still hanging be released now. There shall be no carry-over of July releases in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS OFFERS (2): BEAUTY

#WordForTodayDevotional

WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS OFFERS (2): BEAUTY

The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
Isaiah 60:13 (KJV)

The place of Yahweh’s sanctuary is a beautiful place. It is made for glory and for beauty. It means that anyone that dwells around that region enjoys beauty and colour in their lives. Holiness is colourful and beautiful. Sin stinks. Adam was created a beauty to behold. His life was full of colour and glory. But as soon as sin arrives, Adam became naked. How beautiful is nakedness? Nobody on their right mind advertises nakedness. It is shameful to be naked. Purity gives birth to beauty. Nothing glorifies and beautifies like holiness. When the Church will rise in holiness and righteousness, there shall be beauty, heaven-decked beauty upon Zion. When we come to that point that men take covenant oaths, “If I perish, I perish, but I will live for the truth!” then we have arrived at the chores of the beauty and glory realms of the Church. Purity is the mother of beauty. Psalms 149:4 says, “He will beautify the meek with salvation.” What is salvation? Referring to the Lord Yahushua in Matthew 1:21, the Word says, “He shall save his people from their sins.” That means your beauty, true colour, and covenant colour emerges only when you are saved from sin. That is when your dominion and authority over sin is established, only then will your true beauty emerge. When sin goes, colour is established. I see your beauty emerging in a most powerful way!

It is also important for us to understand that when beauty arrives, envy arrives with it. As your life becomes attractive by the glory of the Lord upon you, it will provoke persecutions. 2 Timothy 3:12 says, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” With every lifting and beauty comes persecutions, but I’d like you to know that Yahweh’s faithfulness is stronger than any attack that the quest for righteousness may bring your way. I defined persecution as, “a display of emotional displeasure, which leads to unjust treatment borne out of hatred, bitterness, envy, misgivings, etc.” It is the heritage of the front liners. Naturally, the seed of the bondwoman is on a commission to persecute the child of promise. So when you are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, Yahweh is giving you a signal of lifting from heaven.

As you begin and continue on this journey of holiness, be rest assured that plenty of mockeries will come from wayfaring Christians, the ones who are not going anywhere. They are wayfaring because they just stand on the way. They are the seeds by the way side, so the birds will soon come and pick them up. You must allow those who are behind you to do their job: to see your back and both talk at your back and bite it. Therefore, everyone who wants the blessings must automatically want the persecutions as well—that is, the lies, the mockeries, the slanders, the castigations, etc. If you don’t know that these things are there, you will be tired. Shalom!

REMEMBER: Your beauty lies in righteousness.

CONFESSION: I am like a city set upon the hills that cannot be hid. The beauty of the Lord is upon me. My life is colourful! Halleluyah!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you walk in righteousness, I release you into beauty and colour from now in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS OFFERS (1): PROSPERITY, PROMOTIONS AND HONOUR

#WordForTodayDevotional

WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS OFFERS (1): PROSPERITY, PROMOTIONS AND HONOUR

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Proverbs 14:34 (KJV)

Proverbs 14:23 says that in all labour there is profit. There are unquantifiable profits in labouring to live a holy and righteous life. Apart from the other benefits, you also enjoy divine presence continually because you are standing on the right foundation. Whereas sin brings a curse, righteousness brings blessings. Righteousness causes you to be planted in the very presence of Yahweh which guarantees your flourishing. Psalms 92:12 says, “The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.” No matter the drought in the land, the righteous shall flourish; his leaves will remain green. Just as Job flourished by righteousness, everyone that practises righteousness will flourish. Uprightness takes up. That was the testimony of Job. Job 1:1-3 says, “1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. 2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. 3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.” Righteousness was the reason for the height Job attained. Evil must die in your life, so the glory that Yahweh has mapped out for you will come out. Job became the greatest man in the land not through crookedness or perverseness, but through uprightness and godly perfection. He was scared of evil; he never touched it.

That he avoided evil suggests that he was living in the days of evil, but never partook of it. Instead, he became the greatest man in the east! Righteousness announces promotions for the righteous. Who is righteous? Whosoever does righteousness is righteous. Joseph fled from sin. But his trouble became his triumph, as the prison yard became his palace. Even in the prison, he prospered! Righteousness holds a guarantee for your prosperity. All those I read about in my Bible that lived righteous lives were honoured. Potiphar’s wife would have ended Joseph’s ministry as a steward, but righteousness paved a way for him to the throne. The king’s rich food would have defiled Daniel and made him remain a mere civil servant in that country, but righteousness exalted him. He wouldn’t deny his Yahweh. No, not even in the face of death! He walked gallantly into the den of lions, and righteousness preserved him (see Proverbs 11:3)! He ended up in the high places of the government of his time! Honour has its root in righteousness.

Righteousness causes men to shine as stars. If you truly desire honour, then wisdom demands that you also desire righteousness with a greater intensity. Selah!

REMEMBER: Prosperity, promotion and honour are all rooted in righteousness.

CONFESSION: I am labouring to walk by the Word and in righteousness. I am a prosperity entity on earth. The honour of the Lord is upon me. Glory be His Holy Name forever!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree a turnaround for you now into the realms of prosperity, promotions and honour as you align with righteousness in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

WHAT BRINGS THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

#WordForTodayDevotional

Tuesday, July 28, 2026

WHAT BRINGS THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Psalms 9:10 (KJV)

The fear of Yahweh comes from the knowledge of Yahweh, which is from knowing Yahweh. The Bible tells us that the beginning of wisdom and knowledge is the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” As Yahweh’s presence is revealed to us physically and spiritually we stand in awesome respect of His power and majesty. The children of Israel had an encounter with Yahweh that made an impression on them at Mount Sinai. Exodus 19:17-19 says, “17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. 18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. 19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.”

In Yahweh’s presence the people were terrified, but Moses explained that this was good for them. Yahweh had revealed a small portion of His power to them so that the fear of Yahweh would be with them to keep them from sinning. Exodus 20:18-20 says, “18 ¶And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.”

The greater our knowledge of Yahweh the greater our love will be for Him, and the greater our fear (awesome respect) of Him will be also. The prophet Isaiah had an encounter with Yahweh that changed his life. Isaiah 6:1-5 says, “1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 ¶Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.” In the revelation of Yahweh’s light and glory even our slightest shortcomings are revealed which causes us to immediately repent. Notice that Isaiah even felt contaminated by the sin of the people that he had been with, when he stood before Yahweh.

REMEMBER: It takes the intimate knowledge of Yahweh to fear Him.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask that You reveal Yourself to me Father like You did to Moses in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened now to know Yahweh in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

BENEFITS OF THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

#WordForTodayDevotional

Monday, July 27, 2026

BENEFITS OF THE FEAR OF YAHWEH

Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
Psalms 128:1 (KJV)

What are the benefits of living a lifestyle of the fear of Yahweh? Why should I live with this trembling before the Lord as a lifestyle? The treasures of the Kingdom is rooted in the fear of the Lord. Without the fear of the Lord, you have no chance with Yahweh. So, all the good things of life answers to the fear of the Lord in you. Firstly, according to our opening texts, the blessings of the Lord are only for those that fear Him (see Psalms 128:1-6). That blessing includes: a. That you labour and eat the labour of your hands. There are people labouring but others are eating it in the name of sickness or diseases or one case or the other. Psalms 128:2 says, “For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.” When you walk in the fear of the Lord, no devil can tamper with the labour of your hands. b. The fear of the Lord makes you a happy person. It ensures that the happenings in your life are those that bring you joy. No matter what the devil brings your way, it eventually ends in glory and in your favour. c. That it is well with you. This means that you enjoy good, beauty, better, bounty and prosperity. No evil occurrence. No activities of the enemy around you. d. That you are settled in marriage. No matter the curse of marital delay working in your family, the fear of the Lord ensures that you are settled gloriously and covenantly in marriage. Not just that, it guarantees your fruitfulness. No form of barrenness. Psalms 128:3 says, “Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.”

Secondly, the Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom. Psalms 111:10 (NASB) says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever.” Proverbs 24:3 says, “Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:” Every enviable life is a function of Wisdom. Everything that is built that is commanding attention is the work of Wisdom. It takes Wisdom for you to experience wholeness in your life. That is a situation that your spiritual life is fantastic, your finances are a wow, your marriage is heaven on earth, your children are epitome of excellence and virtue, your health is sound and bouncing. That is what we mean when we talk about being whole or experiencing wholeness. You cannot smell wholeness without the building force of Divine Wisdom and you cannot access this Divine Wisdom without the fear of the Lord actively at work in your life. Job 28:28 says, “And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.”

For space, let us conclude by saying that the ball is now in your court. Selah!

REMEMBER: The Fear of the Lord is the secret of divine treasures and blessings.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I connect to the treasures of heaven and the blessings thereof by walking in the fear of the Lord from now in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: An end has come to every curse working against your life and destiny today in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

THE FEAR OF YAHWEH (A)

#WordForTodayDevotional

Saturday, July 25, 2026

THE FEAR OF YAHWEH (A)

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men? …
II Corinthians 5:11 (KJV)

One of the things that is missing in the Church of nowadays is the fear of the Lord. The first thing to establish today is that there is no Old testament Yahweh and another New testament Yahweh. Another thing to note is that Grace is more grave than the law. It only gives you more rope to repent but it is just as grave and even more than the law. That is why you must understand that the same Yahweh in the Old testament that drove Adam and Eve from Eden (see Genesis 3:23-24); that cursed the ground for man (see Genesis 3:17-19); that razed down the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (see Genesis 19:24); that drown the whole earth of those days in flood and wiped them out (see Genesis 7:21-24); that wasted Pharaoh and his army in the red sea (see Genesis 14:28); that though He delivered the people from Egypt, wasted those that believe not in the wilderness (see Numbers 32:13); that though he swore a covenant to Israel, destroyed Israel and took them away in captivity according to His Word by His prophets (see I Chronicles 6:15); that though He loved the Son, looked away when He bore the sins of the world (see Mark 15:34); is still the same Yahweh you are dealing with today. He hates sin!!!!!!! He hates rebellion against His Word. Beloved, why did the Lord Yahushua come? It was because of sin and its consequences. How then do you think that you can receive eternal life and continue in sin? How then do you think that coming to Church is enough even though you continue to wallow in iniquity? You cannot be living in heaven and with the Lord Yahushua in the heavenly places and still be living a lifestyle of hell and Satan as your director. Impossible!

I am afraid for the believers of this generation. We do not know who Yahweh is. When Hebrews 12:29 says that Yahweh is a consuming fire, please it is not a figurative expression. It is just as it said it that it is. What then is the fear of Yahweh?

Firstly, it is actual fear not figurative. It is being completely overwhelmed by your thoughts of Yahweh to the point of shaking, quaking and frightened of Yahweh. Yes, it means to be afraid and scared of Yahweh and all that He represents, His Holiness, His justice, His personality, His wrath. Exodus 19:16 says, “And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.” This is the “shaken-to-the-core” kind of fear. See Deuteronomy 5:24-29. The Lord commends this kind of fear. That is really what the Fear of Yahweh means. Deuteronomy 5:28-29 says, “28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the Lord said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken. 29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!”

REMEMBER: The fear of Yahweh is actual fear – a shaken-to-the-core kind of fear.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I ask for the grace to fear You in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every programming to cut your life short backfires today. Receive grace to fear Yahweh now in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

THREATS TO HOLINESS (A)

#WordForTodayDevotional

Wednesday, July 22, 2026

THREATS TO HOLINESS (A)

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive?
Ephesians 4:14 (KJV)

Satan is the architect of sin. When Yahweh made man, He communicated His Spirit to man which had all the attributes of Yahweh. So, man was a holy and perfect being at creation. Lucifer, an angel of Yahweh’s, did not get enough of Yahweh’s perfection and holiness. He wanted it all. He rebelled against Yahweh and lost all of what Yahweh gave him. He became Yahweh’s nemesis – renamed Satan. Ever since, Satan wishes for holiness’s ruin. He elicited the fall of Adam and Eve, depriving them of holiness. He continues on his rampage against holiness. He wants our help; he wants co-conspirators. And humanity is altogether too quick to comply, but that’s our nature because of the fall. Yahweh’s enemy employs five methods to ruin holiness: relativism, tolerance, liberty, contextualization and legalism.

Relativism conveys that there are no absolutes. This perspective legitimises innumerable truths contradicting one another. Relativism ruins holiness because there is no longer a supreme authority. One is not wholly other. Satan deceives people into thinking multiple acceptable authorities exist. Ironically, all options outside of Yahweh point to Satan. He is the only other authority people submit to. Yahweh rescues holiness from relativism’s ruin by what He says in John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Tolerance. Relativism leads to tolerance. If you do not accept multiple world-views, you must be intolerant, leading to the intolerance of intolerance. If you tolerate multiple world-views and authorities, holiness is diluted as Yahweh’s glory is shared. Yahweh cannot be altogether wholly other because He shares his holiness with other world-views and authorities, diminishing his glory. Yahweh rescues holiness from tolerance’s ruin by what He says in Isaiah 48:11, “My glory I will not give to another.”

Liberty, otherwise known as antinomianism (against law), says that Yahweh’s law is entirely abolished by grace. Humanity is no longer expected to cherish and keep Yahweh’s law. This makes way for license to abuse grace. Our enemy would like to see grace abused. Where relativism dilutes holiness, liberty dirties holiness. Liberty is fostered by foolishness. Yahweh rescues holiness from liberty’s ruin by what He says in Romans 7:12, “So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.” Though we are incapable of keeping Yahweh’s law, it does not mean that we should not long to keep it. Here we are prone to ruin holiness with another abuse.

REMEMBER: Beware of every wind of doctrine that water the Word down.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I receive the grace to walk in the highest realm of holiness in my life in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Your struggle against sin and iniquity is over today. Receive grace to function in holiness where sin is no longer mentioned in and around you in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

WHAT IS HOLINESS?

#WordForTodayDevotional

Tuesday, July 21, 2026

WHAT IS HOLINESS?

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Hebrews 12:14 (KJV)

Holiness in the Old Testament is the Hebrew word ‘qodes’ a word that highlights the realm of the sacred in contrast to everything common and profane. The adjective ‘qādôš’, “holy,” refers to Yahweh and what belongs to him. In various places in the Hebrew Scriptures, Yahweh is called by the title the “Holy One of Israel.” Whatever that belongs to Yahweh is holy. Time, space, objects, and people—all can become holy if they belong to Yahweh. The temple in Jerusalem was considered holy space, and the objects used in worship holy objects. The Sabbaths and feasts of Israel were considered holy days or seasons. And the Israelites were called Yahweh’s holy people by virtue of belonging to Him. The New Testament uses the words ‘hagiazo’, to “make holy” and ‘hagio’ “holy” or “sacred.” Yahushua is called “the Holy One of Yahweh” And those who acclaim Yahushua as Lord are called ‘hagioi’, or “saints.” As believers, we are literally set apart, made holy, because of our relationship with the one who bridges the gap between a holy God and sinful human beings.

The priests in the Old Testament were separated unto Yahweh and they were consecrated and holy. Their calling is an example of what our lives should be like today in terms of living a separated holy lives. The priesthood was a high calling just as being born again is a high calling. Philippians 3:14 describes our faith in Yahushua as a high calling of Yahweh. At the realm of righteousness, we talk of your walking in right standing with Yahweh and sin is dealt with. But in holiness, we talk about coming into the realm of Yahweh; that realm of holiness, of separation from the world and unto Him; of consecrating every department of our lives to align with His holiness. This is higher in operation to the mentality of just complying with the commandments. In holiness, every aspect of your life comes under divine scrutiny. What others are permitted to do is prohibited for you. In the Old Testament, a priest is not expected to mourn the dead, that is known as defiling himself. The priest that has the holy anointing oil poured upon Him cannot defile himself without consequences of death. He cannot mourn except for his father, mother, and sister who is not married. Why? Because he belongs to Yahweh. His relationship is now with Yahweh.

At the realm of holiness which every believer is called to, sin and iniquity is not even to be mentioned. We are talking about the pleasure of Yahweh and standards that are high. With this high calling Yahweh watches into everything you do. Beloved, you are called to holiness and sin and iniquity is not mentioned and is not supposed to be mentioned around you. You are higher than that.

REMEMBER: You are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar person. Come alive to that.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I thank You for this high calling upon my life. I align my world to holiness in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that today’s Word swallow every form of sin and iniquity in your life and bring you to shine his holiness in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

DOING RIGHTEOUSNESS

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 ones 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.

Then, after you have received this gift of righteousness, it empowers you to stand on the Word of Yahweh rightly. You are empowered by the nature of righteousness to rightly divide the Word of truth and do it (see II Timothy 2:15). Your overwhelming desire now is to please Yahweh with every step of your life. You are obsessed with being on key with the Word of Yahweh. The pleasure of the Lord becomes your sole objective for living. This is doing righteousness. It is conforming your lifestyle to the Word indeed. It is being rigid on following the detects of the Word. Practical righteousness is implementing the Word in your day to day operations. It is doing the will of Yahweh which is His Word.

Is there anything in it for you if you start doing righteousness as a lifestyle? Absolutely yes! Firstly, until your obedience is complete, you cannot avenge any disobedience of the enemy. II Corinthians 10:6 told us so, “And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” Doing righteousness is the only way to have our obedience to the Word complete. Beloved, the devil is not your problem, sin and unrighteousness is. When the issue of sin is sorted in your walk with Yahweh, then you can see practically how weak and inconsequential the devil is. Secondly, doing righteousness engenders boldness. Proverbs 28:1 says, “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Your confidence intimidates the devil and paralyses him.

REMEMBER: Doing righteousness is the authentic proof of the nature of righteousness within.

CONFESSION: My glory is in what HaMashiach did for me at Calvary and the result is the unfolding of practical righteousness in my everyday life. Halleluyah!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see you walk in wholeness as you begin to engage practical righteousness in your everyday life in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

RIGHTEOUSNESS NATURE

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 challenge with many people is that they never renew their mind to align with this nature of righteousness in their spirit. You became a new creation spiritually, in your spirit-man. That did not affect your mind. It is you that will have to do something to your mind by renewing it with the Word of Yahweh. It is your responsibility to control your body by the Word. You have the nature of righteousness in your spirit but for you to live it out, you must renew your mind with the Word and discipline your body to conform to the Word. Romans 12:1-2 says, “1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

This is the missing link in the lives of so many children of Yahweh. They are new creation, all right but they are not renewing their minds and surely not presenting their bodies a living sacrifice, so there is no expression to the nature of righteousness on their inside. Wake up!

REMEMBER: New birth brings you into the nature of righteousness.

CONFESSION: I am the righteousness of Yahweh in HaMashiach with the nature of righteousness. My mind is constantly being renewed by the Word and my body disciplined to align with the Word. Glory be Yahweh!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree your liberty from the corrupting influences of this world now in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
