**** Rhapsody Of Realities ***** KEEP EXPRESSING RIGHTEOUSNESS. Sunday, December 7, 2014. 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). 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 in your place of work, for example, you did something you thought was good and required commendation, but instead you found yourself being persecuted for your good works, dont feel bad about it. Just because youre good and doing the right thing doesnt mean everybody is going to be cheering you on. There might be those thatll 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 the course with the Word of God in your heart and in your mouth. Remember, youre the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; therefore, its 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 youre greater than your adversaries, detractors and persecutors. You’re a victor forever. Stay in the Word, and keep manifesting His righteousness, no matter the criticism, and youll always win. Halleluiah! PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for making me a victor for life, and granting me the grace to reign in life and live for your glory. Righteousness and goodness are the hallmarks of my life; therefore, I do righteousness and walk in your perfect will today, and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
