We Walk In Righteousness
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is
made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and
sanctification, and redemption
(1 Corinthians 1:30).
Christianity is a walk in righteousness. What
is righteousness? It’s the nature of God
in you, producing 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 everywhere. The world may not appreciate
it when you walk in righteousness. 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 in your place of work, for
example, you did something you thought required
commendation, but instead, you were reprimanded
for your good works, don’t feel bad about it. Keep
expressing the God-nature in you.
Just because you’re doing the right thing doesn’t
mean everybody will like you. There might be those
that’ll resist you, and try to make you compromise;
they might even call you evil, in spite of your good
works; maintain your composure. Refuse to change.
You’re greater than your adversaries, detractors
and persecutors. Stay in the Word, and practise
your Christianity, no matter the criticism. You’re the
righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; therefore, it’s
your calling to walk in righteousness, regardless of the
pressures and challenges.
Confession
I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; a victor for life,
endowed with the grace to reignand rule over circumstances.
My life is for the glory of God; I walk in righteousness, and
fulfil God’s perfect will today, and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
