THE RIGHTNESS OF GOD IN YOU

MONDAY, OCTOBER 13TH, 2025

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24).

Righteousness is the rightness of God at work in you. It is divinity manifested in you. It is the unveiling of the Father’s heart, His life and love at work in you. Living right is the outworking of the righteousness of God in you. He is righteousness, and He is your righteousness. He gave you the righteousness of Jesus Christ: “...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).

This is what gives you right standing with Him. Being born again, you’re in the presence of the Father without guilt, condemnation, or inferiority. We’re bold and confident before Him. We live in harmony with the Father, walking in the light of His Word. We know Him, and He knows us; we’ve become one with Him: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:17).

Righteousness is your life now; it’s your nature. You’ve received abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness: “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). Now you can walk in Him, justified and at peace with God.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for giving me your own righteousness: the ability to live right, think right, and live in your perfect will. I walk in the consciousness of my oneness with you, without guilt or condemnation. Your life and love are at work in me, producing fruits of righteousness. I reign in life through Jesus Christ. Amen.

PROCLAIMING THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10TH, 2025

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9).

The proclamation of the lordship of Jesus is what brings you into salvation. There’re those who believe in their hearts that Jesus died and that God raised Him from the dead, but they have never actively proclaimed His lordship over their lives. Therefore, the salvation that Jesus brought is not activated in their lives.

The Bible way to receive salvation is clearly stated for us in the Scriptures: “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:8-10).

You believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and confess His lordship over your life; that’s what catapults you into salvation. Believing alone isn't enough. In fact, the Apostle James, while addressing the importance of genuine faith, especially in how it is demonstrated through actions, tells us, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble” (James 2:19).

So, you've got to activate what you believe. It's the confession of the lordship of Jesus that makes salvation real. This explains why some people, though they believe in Jesus, are not born again. Without that confession, they could go to hell. So, in your evangelical work and outreaches, emphasize this, especially in these last days. It’s the declaration of the lordship of Jesus that breaks Satan’s grip over people’s lives and brings them out of darkness into the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the power of your Word and the revelation of salvation through the lordship of Jesus Christ. Jesus is Lord over my life, and I’m in His glorious Kingdom, where I reign in righteousness and victory forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

~ October 9th

Everywhere I am, and in all that I do, my light shines with so much intensity for the world to see. I openly manifest the glory of God in my world, dispelling, ousting, and expelling darkness and all of the works thereof. I impact my world today, changing hopeless situations and shining ever so brightly in a dark world. I can never be defeated I’m one with the Lord because I’m born of His living and eternal Word! My ancestry is divine; I’m indomitable and live above the elements of this world. I reign and rule gloriously in the realm of life. In the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

A NEW, JUSTIFIED BEING

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9TH, 2025

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

When we say Jesus paid the price for the whole world of sinners, you need to understand that we’re speaking generically. It doesn’t include Christians because the Christian isn’t counted among the sinners. Christians are a different species of being; they’re not from the world. They came into a new life through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

When you believed in Jesus Christ and confessed His lordship over your life, you were recreated; born again with a new life: “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4). This is the essence of Christianity; you’re a new creation born from the resurrection into a newness of life.

As a result, you walk as a justified person. What does it mean to be justified? It means to be declared not guilty, acquitted. The person who was guilty died with Christ on the Cross. And when Jesus resurrected, a new you came alive. This new you was created in righteousness and true holiness.

Romans 4:25, referring to the Lord Jesus, tells us that He "…was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification." Glory to God! You’re justified because you’re a new creation. This is why we preach the Gospel with urgency. We want men and women everywhere to come into Christ and become new creations. We want them to know they’ve been justified and that in Christ, they don’t have a past; they’re new species.

James 1:18 says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” Notice the underlined expression; you’re a different breed, one with the divine nature; sanctified, glorified, and justified. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the new life in Christ. I’m a new creation, justified and alive to God. Old things are passed away, and all things have become new. I walk in the consciousness of my divine nature, manifesting the glory and righteousness of God everywhere I go, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
