“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: We can only reign through righteousness.
Righteousness is the nature of God which was imparted to your
spirit when you got born again. It is a gift of God. Just as you didn’t have to
do anything to be called a sinner, you don’t have to do any work to be
righteous. All you have to do is to believe in the finished work of Christ on
the Cross and you receive the gift of righteousness. Those who receive the gift
of righteousness, according to the scriptures, shall reign in life. The
Amplified Version says that they shall reign as kings in life. To reign is to
exercise authority, dominion and mastery. Righteousness makes us reign in life.
We can only reign through righteousness. To be righteousness conscious is to
eliminate all sense of guilt, condemnation or inferiority complex. It places us
above and ahead of Satan and his accusations. It also gives us the boldness and
confidence to pray to God and expect answers without being afraid or ashamed
before Him, because we have His righteousness.
Without an understanding of righteousness, a born again
Christian cannot live victoriously over the enemy. He will still be subject to
the elements of this world without having the understanding of the extent and
potency of his authority in Christ. This is why a born again Christian must
grow in the knowledge of God’s Word. Ephesians 4:14 says, “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”. Also, Revelation 5:10 says, “And
has made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth”.
Be conscious that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. By virtue
of your new life in Christ, and your position as a righteous king-priest, the
whole world is subdued before you. You now have mastery over Satan and his
cohorts of darkness. You are a champion for life. Hallelujah!!!
INSTRUCTION: You have been made a king. Exercise your authority and
dominion.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you for the gift of righteousness which made me reign
here on earth, in Jesus Name, Amen.
QUOTE: If you do not see it, you cannot have it.
