RHAPSODY OF REALITIES WEDNESDAY 6TH JANUARY.
RIGHTEOUSNESS GIVES YOU DOMINION
For if by one manβs 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).
The literal translation of the word βreignβ in the verse above is to βkingβ or βbe kingβ; itβs the verb of kingship. So, you could actually say, βThey which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall βkingβ or βbe kingsβ in life by Jesus Christ.β
Revelation 1:6 says Heβs made us kings and priests unto God; and what do kings do? They rule and reign; they exercise authority and dominion over their realm. In the opening verse above, we reign in the realm of life.
Righteousness is the divine acquittal by faith, on the basis of the new creation in Christ Jesus. Itβs a gift from God to the whole world, activated for those who receive and confess the Lordship of Jesus. Theyβre the ones to reign in life! The Amplified version says ββ¦they shall reign as kings in life.”
Righteousness gives you dominion; righteousness consciousness eliminates guilt, condemnation or inferiority, and places you above Satan and his accusations. It also gives you the boldness and confidence to pray to God and expect answers. Youβre unafraid and unashamed before Him, because you have peace with Him through the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).
Without an understanding of righteousness, you really canβt live victoriously over the adversary and adversities. Youβll be subject to the elements of this world, whereas youβre meant to rule and reign over them.
Become more conscious that youβre the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Stay and live in the Word. Declare in faith, βIβm a king and I reign in righteousness; Iβm superior to Satan, his demons and circumstances.β By the power of Jesus Christ, the whole world is subdued before you. You have the dominion over Satan and the rulers of the darkness of this world! Glory to God!
CONFESSION
Iβm righteousness-conscious. I have the mastery over circumstances, demons and their manipulations. The angels of God minister in my behalf, even now, for Iβve received an overflowing of Godβs grace and Iβm made a champion in this life. Hallelujah!
