BE DEFINED BY\u00a0GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS: THE ASSURED GRACE OF RIGHT STANDING WITH\u00a0GOD\u00a0IN LIFE AND\u00a0GODLINESS!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Your throne, O\u00a0God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the\u00a0scepter\u00a0of Your kingdom. 7 You love RIGHTEOUSNESS and hate wickedness; Therefore\u00a0God, Your\u00a0God, has ANOINTED You\u00a0With\u00a0the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS”<\/i>\u00a0Psalms 45:6-7.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let your LEGACY of doing life and living\u00a0godly\u00a0be defined by\u00a0God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with\u00a0God] in Christ Jesus in you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Jesus Christ,\u00a0experience in humanity, was marked by\u00a0God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS,\u00a0in order for\u00a0him to\u00a0ensure and be assured, of\u00a0God’s ever\u00a0ANOINTED\u00a0presence\u00a0which was with Him, to make Him\u00a0stay\u00a0enabled and above all and above only.\u00a0[Hebrews 1:7-9; Psalms 45:6-7].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And of the ANGELS He says: \u201cWho makes His ANGELS spirits And His MINISTERS a flame of fire.\u201d 8 But to the Son He says: \u201cYour throne, O\u00a0God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the\u00a0scepter\u00a0of Your kingdom. 9 You have LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS and hated lawlessness; Therefore\u00a0God, Your\u00a0God, has ANOINTED You\u00a0With\u00a0the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS\u201d<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 1:7-9\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kingdom of\u00a0God\u00a0is consummated with a SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and Jesus ensures that He loves RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with\u00a0God] and hates wickedness, to keep the enemy at bay and in order to be assured that He earned\u00a0God’s approval instead of men’s applauds and hyper –\u00a0[Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t you\u00a0cherish\u00a0such sphere and realm of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead?\u00a0[Matthew 6:33 (Luke 12:31].<\/b>\u00a0God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS is the only stand to hold on to in Him – and as we do life and live godly\u00a0in the midst of\u00a0the fallibility of the human nature, human acceptance\u00a0and of the hope and assurance before men.\u00a0And\u00a0it’s\u00a0in the knowing and understanding that the kingdom of God, is not a matter of pleasure in eating and drinking, but\u00a0it’s\u00a0about RIGHTEOUSNESS,\u00a0Peace\u00a0and Joy in the Holy Spirit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For the kingdom of\u00a0God\u00a0is not meat and drink; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost”\u00a0<\/i>Romans 14:17.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you\u00a0desire\u00a0to live and be ABOVE ONLY\u00a0it’s\u00a0not by mouth-talking but rather\u00a0to\u00a0ensure and be assured that you are standing on God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus Amen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For if by one man\u2019s 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.) . . . 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 5:17, 21.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore,\u00a0seek\u00a0first the kingdom of\u00a0God\u00a0and His RIGHTEOUSNESS, then addition will\u00a0commence\u00a0in your life and wellbeing in\u00a0godliness.\u00a0God\u00a0knows about your need of at least the three basics necessity in life – Food, Clothing and Shelter. He\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0want you to toil like unbelievers to obtain the\u00a0basic necessity\u00a0and much more, hence He wants you to lay the\u00a0fundamental\u00a0foundation in kingdom to His\u00a0provision in redemption for you, effortlessly and without sweat and boredom.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . 31 Therefore take no thought, saying,\u00a0What\u00a0shall we EAT? or,\u00a0What\u00a0shall we DRINK? or, Wherewithal shall we be CLOTHED? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWETH THAT YE HAVE NEED OF ALL THESE THINGS. 33 But SEEK YE FIRST the kingdom of\u00a0God, and His RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be ADDED unto you . . .”<\/i>\u00a0Matthew 6:31-33 [25-34].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Give\u00a0God\u00a0an opportunity to be your Father for once again in righteousness. Let Him make you be in His plan,\u00a0purpose\u00a0and pursuit for your wellbeing in Christ Jesus. [Jeremiah 29:11].<\/b>\u00a0Let your definition be founded in\u00a0God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead.\u00a0It’s\u00a0time to flourish like a cedar in Lebanon, flourish like the Palm tree, flourish in the courts of our\u00a0God. Flourish at all ages of your being in life and grace. For\u00a0God\u00a0wants to assure you that He’s Faithful and\u00a0there’s\u00a0no unrighteousness with Him in the grace.\u00a0It’s\u00a0time to get yourself rooted, grounded and\u00a0established\u00a0in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of\u00a0God\u00a0in Christ Jesus to be ABOVE only and enjoy the heritage of the redeemed of\u00a0God\u00a0in Christ Jesus stead, Amen.\u00a0[Psalms 92:12-15; Isaiah 54:13-17].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The RIGHTEOUS will FLOURISH like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord,\u00a0They\u00a0will FLOURISH in the courts of our\u00a0God. 14 [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and\u00a0prosper in old age; They will FLOURISH and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15 [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His\u00a0promises]; He is my rock, and there is NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in Him”<\/i>\u00a0Psalms 92:12-15\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 14 In RIGHTEOUSNESS shalt thou be ESTABLISHED: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.16 Behold, I have created the smith that\u00a0bloweth\u00a0the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. 17 No WEAPON that is formed against thee shall\u00a0prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their RIGHTEOUSNESS is of me, saith the Lord”\u00a0<\/i>Isaiah 54:13-17.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . 29 And seek not\u00a0ye\u00a0what ye shall EAT, or what ye shall DRINK, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your\u00a0Father\u00a0knoweth\u00a0that ye have need of these things. 31 But\u00a0rather SEEK\u00a0YE THE KINGDOM of\u00a0God; and all these things shall be ADDED unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father\u2019s GOOD PLEASURE to give you the kingdom”\u00a0<\/i>Luke 12:22-32.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
