Daniel 9:24 24“Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness...
On Sunday, we hear a message that says, “I am the righteousness of God in
Christ.” On Monday, we are still confessing, “I am the righteousness of
God in Christ.” But come Wednesday or Thursday, we begin to confess
our sins! Then, when Sunday comes, we get a fresh revelation of our righteousness
in Christ and we start to confess our righteousness again. Why do we do that?
It cannot be that on Sunday, we are righteous. Then, a few days later, we become
unrighteous because of sin, but are “re-righteoused” when Sunday comes again.
No, our righteousness is an “everlasting righteousness”! Jesus has obtained
“eternal redemption” for us. (Hebrews 9:12)
“But Pastor Prince, I have just sinned. How can I still be righteous?”
My friend, it is not what you do that makes you righteous. It is what Christ
has done at Calvary. Romans 5:19 says, “For as by one man’s [Adam] disobedience
many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made
righteous.” It is the obedience of one Man — Christ — and not your obedience,
that has made you righteous!
God wants you established in what Christ has done. He wants you conscious
of your everlasting righteousness in Christ. How do you do that? You can listen
to anointed messages that remind you of your righteousness in Christ. And don’t
just know it in your head. Speak it. Every morning, tell yourself, “I am the righteousness
of God in Christ!” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
You don’t need a revelation of how sinful you are. You know it when you sin.
The devil reminds you of your sins. Even your friends and loved ones sometimes
point out your sins. What you need, instead, is a revelation of how forever righteous
you are in God’s eyes, especially when you sin.
And when you are conscious of this gift of righteousness that is everlasting,
you will reign in life! (Romans 5:17) You will reign over sin, bad habits, sicknesses,
lack and everything that holds you back from a victorious life!
