WALK IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

-

1 John 2:29

Since we know that Christ is righteous, we also know that all who do what is right are God’s children.


Christ came to this world, to fulfil the Father's will, that is to bring salvation to man.


John 4:32,34

But Jesus replied, “I have a kind of food you know nothing about.”

Then Jesus explained: “My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work.


John 5:30

I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will.


In fulfilling this will, Christ walked in righteousness, in doing this He brought us into righteousness.


The whole victory was not for Himself but for us. He was already in glory, He was already in the Father, He left the Father to be with us, to save us. Yet man did not recognize it, those who ought to know refused to recognize Him


John 1:10-11

He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him.

He came to his own people, and even they rejected him.


However, those who accept Him:


John 1:10-13

He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him.

He came to his own people, and even they rejected him.

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.


These should be the consciousness of every believer, we have been reborn away from human passion or plan, we are born into God's plan. Glory to God.


So how do we live our life's? As Jesus did, in righteousness, fulfilling the will of the Father:


1 John 2:29

Since we know that Christ is righteous, we also know that all who do what is right are God’s children.


How do we do this? By remaining in fellowship with Christ. When we do this, we walk in righteousness and He will not deny us on the day of reckoning.


1 John 2:28

And now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame.


Listen carefully, this is not about corporate gathering, it is talking of your personal relationship with Christ - know God for yourself. Thus, you will not be a stranger to Him when He returns.


Away from all the programs, activities, noise and human sensation of religion. REMAIN IN FELLOWSHIP WITH CHRIST. 


Truly when two or three gather in Christ name He is there in their midst, however you must have your own relationship with Christ for these journey is first personal before we talk of a family or group.


2 Corinthians 5:9-10

So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him.

For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.


So, everyone who is of Christ must walk in righteousness just as He did. For Christ became our righteousness.


Luke 18:21-22

The man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.”

When Jesus heard his answer, he said, “There is still one thing you haven’t done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”


1Corinthians 1:30 

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:


Walk in righteousness.


This is why He died, He then arose to seal this victory, glory to God forever.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
