(We Are Conveyors Of His Presence And Dispensers Of His Righteousness)
TO THE BIBLE: Philippians 1:11 ESV
“Filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.”
LET’S TALK
God has sent us to take His presence to the peoples and nations of the world, demonstrating to them the character of the Spirit.
But what’s in that presence? It’s the righteousness of God. When we bring the presence of God to anyone or any community, we bring them the righteousness of God.
This lines up perfectly with the vision of Jesus. He came to set up the Kingdom of God in the earth; He came to establish God’s righteousness.
Before His birth, the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that His Name shall be called Emmanuel—God with us (Matthew 1:23). That’s God’s presence, and Jesus was the righteousness of God unveiled in the flesh.
God’s presence is His righteousness in manifestation. That’s why we preach and teach the righteousness of God, because only through His righteousness can people experience His Person.
You can’t know God with your senses; you can’t know Him until you understand His righteousness, which is revealed in His acts of love.
It’s the reason we want the whole world to know who Jesus is. We want the whole world to experience the righteousness of God. Wherever the righteousness of God is manifested, the love of God is experienced.
It’s the reason when you get involved in a matter, it shouldn’t be about taking sides with anyone but about establishing the righteousness of God, because that’s what we represent; that’s what we’re called to establish. You hold forth the fruits of God’s righteousness. Glory to God!

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for making me a conveyor of your divine presence, a dispenser of your righteousness. Everywhere I go, I exude the excellence and elegance of the Spirit. I’m the manifestation of your righteousness. I spread and speak forth your righteousness and give vent to your glory and virtue, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
