“for if by one man’s offence death
reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift
of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ” Romans 5:17.
LIGHT FOR THE
NOW: it is
only those who have received the abundance of grace that are permitted to reign
in life.
Righteousness is the gift of God to
man. It is the nature of God which was imparted to your spirit at new birth.
Just as it is a gift, it is not everybody that has received it. A gift is not
yours until you receive it. It is only those who receive the abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness that permitted to reign in life. According to
the Amplified Version, they shall reign as kings in life. The word, ‘reign’ is
to express authority, dominion, mastery. It is to take charge. Righteousness
makes us masters over all situations of life. To be righteousness conscious is
to eliminate all sense of guilt, condemnation or inferiority complex from us.
It places us ahead and above Satan and his accusations. It also gives us the
boldness and confidence to pray to God and expect answers. We are unafraid and
unashamed before Him because we have His righteousness.
Without an understanding of
righteousness, a Christian cannot live victoriously over the enemy. He will be
subject to the elements of this world, not understanding the extent or potency
of his authority in Christ. This is why a believer must keep growing in the
knowledge of the Word of God. You must be conscious of the fact that you are
the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. There is need to come to the
realization of the fact that you are a king and kings reign in righteousness.
By virtue of your new life in Christ, and your position as a king and priest,
the whole world is subdued before you. You have mastery over Satan and his
cohorts of darkness. You have been made a champion. Nothing is permitted to
molest you spiritually or physically. 1Corinthians 5:21 says, “for
he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the
righteousness of God in Christ Jesus”. This is your new realm. You have
been made a champion for life.
INSTRUCTION: You have been made a champion.
Behave like one
PRAYER: Father, I thank you for the gift of righteousness
which has made me a master over Satan and his cohorts of darkness, in Jesus
Name. Amen!
QUOTE: A gift is not yours until you receive it.
