Call UsExpress God’s Righteousness – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional April 29th
(Keep Displaying His Righteous Nature In You)
TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 1:30 NIV
“It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.”
LET’S TALK
Righteousness is the nature of God in you, producing in you the rightness of God: the ability to do right and fulfil the will of the Father.
God is always right; it’s His nature to be right. This nature of righteousness is at work in us. So in our kingdom, we do righteousness; we walk in righteousness and do works of righteousness; we manifest the goodness of God to the world.
It was for the same reason that the Pharisees and Sadducees had a problem with the good works that Jesus did; they misunderstood Him. If, at school, for example, you did something you thought was good and required commendation but instead found yourself being persecuted for your good works, don’t feel bad about it.
Just because you’re good and doing the right thing doesn’t mean everybody is going to be cheering you on. There might be those who’ll resist you and try to make you swerve from your path; they might even call you evil in spite of your good works.
Maintain your composure. Refuse to change. Stay on course with the Word of God in your heart and in your mouth.
Remember, you’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; therefore, it’s your calling to express His righteousness.
See yourself that way, regardless of the pressures and challenges that may tend to provoke you to compromise. See yourself just as the Word says: “…Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4); this means that you’re greater than your adversaries, detractors, and persecutors. You’re a victor forever.
Go Deeper
Isaiah 54:17; 2 Corinthians 5:21
Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for making me a victor for life and granting me the grace to reign in life, and I live for your glory. Righteousness and goodness are the hallmarks of my life; therefore, I express righteousness and walk in your perfect will today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
