Leviticus 1:6
6And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces.
Do
you know who first clothed man with coats of skin? It was God Almighty
Himself, when He found Adam and Eve hiding behind the bushes because
they were afraid of Him. They had become fearful and conscious that they
had sinned against God. In their sin-consciousness, they realized that
they were naked and that the glory of God, which had been their
covering, was gone.
So God killed an animal to clothe
Adam and Eve with coats of skin. (Genesis 3:21) An animal had to die and
its bloodied skin became their covering. This speaks of the blood of
Jesus that covers you when He became your burnt offering. The Lamb of
God did not just take away your sins. He also gave you His
righteousness.
Beloved, you are covered by Jesus’
blood. You are righteous by His blood. God has clothed you with the
robe of righteousness, which was paid for by Jesus’ blood. I am not
talking about a physical robe made of cloth. I am talking about the robe
of righteousness that was on Jesus when He said to the storm, “Peace,
be still!” and there came a perfect calm (Matthew 8:23–27), when healing
flowed from Him to the sick and when He raised Lazarus from the dead.
(John 11:38–44)
When you believe that you are
righteous because of Jesus’ blood, you will see the effects of wearing
His robe of righteousness. You will see miracles happening before your
very eyes. You become a blessing magnet, a favor or grace magnet. It is
not your own righteousness, but the righteousness of Jesus which you
have put on, that is attracting all these blessings of God into your
life.
My friend, have the consciousness
of being clothed with Jesus’ robe of righteousness. Every day, come to
God and say, “Father, I thank You that Jesus is my burnt offering. He
covers me from head to toe with His righteousness. What He is to You, I
am. As He is now, so am I. I am in Him.” And you will see the
manifestations of the blessings of health, wholeness, protection and
prosperity that the robe attracts!
