NOT JUST FORGIVEN, BUT MADE RIGHTEOUS TOO

-

 

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.


2 Corinthians 5:21


At the cross, Jesus did not just take away your sins, but He also gave you His righteousness! A divine exchange took place—your sins for His righteousness. This means that, today, you are as righteous as Christ Himself, not because of your good works, but because of His finished work!


So place your hand over your heart right now and boldly declare:


I, (state your name), AM the righteousness of God in Christ!


Come on, say it out loud at least three times and believe it in your heart. Learn to speak this powerful truth to and over yourself every day. If the enemy tells you, “You’re a bad Christian and that’s why you’re sick,” just declare, “I AM RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST! By His stripes I am healed!”


Beloved, when you meditate on and honor the work of the Son that has made you righteous, you’ll see His healing for every weakness, distress and pain! You’ll see Him usher you into every blessing that belongs to the righteous!

That is why you must be careful. My heart is with you and I can feel your pains. Yes, the pressure of the society will always be there but you must be resolute about your choice of picking your calling or a status. Now this is not to knock up the idea of marriage but to tell you not to “loose” that calling for a status. I want you to know that you can be strong in your calling and still be happily be married, you don...

IDENTIFICATION

  IDENTITY IN CHRIST 2Corinthians 5:17 says,  “Therefore if any man be in  Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;  behold, all things are become new.”  The phrase “in Christ” is a terminology that is used over 300 times in the New Testament, always referring to a vital union relationship with God. Once that takes place, you become  a  new creature. Some  translations  actually say “a new creation.” This leads to  a critical issue that I believe is imperative to  understanding your new identity in Christ: It did not take place in  the physical realm. It  isn’t talking about your physical body, saying that it completely changes, that your looks change. If a person was fat before they were saved, they’ll still be fat afterward, unless they go on a diet. It also isn’t talking about your mental or emotional  part—what most people  consider to be the real “them.” If you weren’t too smart before ...
