REIGNING THROUGH 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).One of the most

profound truths you could ever receive from

God’s Word is that you’re as righteous as Jesus is

righteous, because you’re the demonstration of God’s

righteousness. In other words, the people of the

world can look at you and see the perfection and

inner-beauty of divinity. I would to God you’d

grasp this truth today, and rise up to who

you are in Christ, it’ll make you a master in

life.Righteousness makes us masters. We reign

through righteousness. In our opening scripture,

we read that “…if by one mans 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.

” That means you reign in life by virtue of your

nature of righteousness. You have become a master

over every circumstance of life; a master over

the demons of hell and every disease. It’s important

that you understand this!Notice what the scripture

says will happen with those who receive the gift of

righteousness: they shall reign in life! The Amplified

version says they shall reign as kings in life. You’ve

been called to reign in life. Being conscious that you’re

the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus gives you mastery

over the devil and his accusations. It makes you a champion

in life! It also gives you the boldness and confidence to

pray to God and expect an answer. You’re unafraid and

unashamed before Him.So now, not only can you stand

in the presence of God by virtue of your righteousness

in Christ Jesus, you can confront satan and the cohorts of

hell in boldness without any fear. That makes you a master

over satan. This is the reason we can stand before any kind

of disease or sickness and command it to leave. Praise God!

ConfessionDear heavenly Father, thank you for giving me

your righteousness as a gift, and inspiring me to boldly take

advantage of my right standing with you! I declare that

I’m reigning in life over satan, sin, sickness, disease and

everything that hurts and binds; in Jesus’ Name.

Amen.
