Confessing Your Righteousness Pleases God

Romans 10:6
6... the righteousness of faith speaks...

Every time you confess, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ”, God the Father is pleased. When you confess that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, it reminds Him of what His Son has done for you to become righteous.

Also, by making you righteous, God is showing Himself righteous — “to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus”. (Romans 3:26)

Each time Jesus hears you confess, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ,” it brings much pleasure to His heart too, because you are laying hold of what He suffered and died to give you.

The Holy Spirit, who now indwells you to convict you of righteousness (John 16:10), also rejoices when you confess, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” He is pleased when you flow with Him.

The delight of the Godhead is not the only thing you gain when you declare, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” The Bible tells us that when you “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness… all these things shall be added to you”. (Matthew 6:33)

Whether it is food, clothing or other necessities in life, “all these things” will be added to you. They will not just be given to you, but added to you as your inheritance when you seek first His righteousness.

You don’t need to use your faith for every single need in life. You just need to use your faith for one thing — to believe that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, and it will cause all the blessings you seek to come after you and overtake you!

God wants me to know....


I love this facebook app..."God wants you to know.."

it's so much better than reading your horrorscope. hhaha!

Sharing my message for today...


"You may think you have challenges, but you have so many blessings. Sometimes it takes only a moment of conscious effort to recognize those blessings. Once you focus on the gifts instead of the problems, your whole perspective will change and you will see blessings everywhere.."

God Of This City - Chris Tomlin

Let us stop complaining on our politicians, presidents, neighbors or government.

Instead let us pray for our nation.

God is BIG AND MIGHTY! Let us not stop believing that.

Because He is our only way...our only HOPE..

AMEN.


Why was God mad in the Old Testament?

Yesterday, I asked God why He was so angry at our forefathers in the Old Testament. So mad that He needed to sacrifice His son Jesus to save us all.

Then a thought told me,
"Read Jeremiah. "

I asked, " ok. Which chapter?"

He said, " 16"

Then of course the thought was so strong that it really made me
open my Bible app.

Suddenly, I found myself in Jeremiah 16....reading the whole chapter and felt God was really talking to me.










At that moment, I felt like bending down on my knees and cry out to Him.
I'm glad that no matter what happened in my life. Even in my worst time of year I never declined and worship other gods.
Because indeed, He is a jealous God!

And then this morning,
I've read today's devotional from
Joseph Prince... Which made me appreciate Jesus more and more for coming down to take the sacrifice to save me and everyone else who believes!

Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice. Now I know that God
is no longer mad at me because of You!

Halleluyaaaah!

Read on... and be blessed.


The King Is Not Angry With You

Proverbs 19:12
12The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

The Bible tells us that the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8) But have you ever wondered why he acts like a roaring lion?

It has something to do with a lion’s roar. In the Bible, the roaring of a lion speaks of the king’s wrath — “The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion”. So when the devil walks about like a roaring lion, he is trying to give you the impression that the King is angry with you. And when you believe that God is angry with you, the devil knows that he has got you.

When you think that God is angry or displeased with you, you will not be confident of His love toward you. Instead, you will expect and fear punishment from Him. And you will want to stay away from Him because you do not wish to incur His wrath any further.

But the truth is that God is not angry with you, even when you fail or blow it, because all your sins have already been judged in the body of His Son at the cross. As the Lamb of God, Jesus became your burnt offering. That is why He said, “I thirst.” (John 19:28)

Those who heard Him say that at Calvary that day thought that His thirst was physical. Actually, His thirst was spiritual because He was being “burnt” by the fire of God’s wrath. He was being judged for our sins. His body exhausted all of God’s wrath until every claim of God’s holiness was satisfied and His wrath appeased!

Now, there is a law called “the law of double jeopardy”, which states that the same crime cannot be tried twice. Today, the fire of God’s wrath will never fall on you as a believer because it has already fallen on His Son at the cross. He judged your sins then, but in the body of His Son.

So right now, you are not under the King’s wrath but His favor. And His favor rains down on you like dew on the grass every morning!

The devil has been defeated!

When some Christian teachings will lead you to focus on the devil instead of focusing on Jesus, Stay away from it.

Heyyy Jesus is more powerful than the devil why should you think and waste your time on him.

Stay focused on Jesus and see His salvation.

Jesus wants you to stay with Him, enjoy His peace and trust His protection.

The world can talk you out of the negativities, fears and worries.

Let Jesus talk you out of His unexplainable peace and be set free!

Just tell Jesus, " Jesus pls. teach me to overcome the negativities of this world. Impart me your wisdom so I know how to handle tough things in your mighty name. Amen. "

The Reason For The Resurrection

Romans 4:25
25who [Jesus] was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.


The Bible tells us that Christ was delivered up for our sins and raised from the dead for our justification. You may already know why Jesus died for our sins, but do you know the significance of God raising Him from the dead?

Let me give you an illustration to help you understand the significance of Jesus’ resurrection.

Let’s say that you are living in a foreign country. One day, you happen to break a major rule of the land. You appeal to the king for mercy. He says, “A rule is a rule. I cannot bend the rule for you. What will others say about my integrity? However, if you can find a substitute to take your punishment — three months in jail — I will allow it.”

By God’s grace, you find a willing substitute. He goes to prison on your behalf and you don’t see him for some time. Days, weeks and months pass by.

Now, how or when will you know that your crime has been fully paid for? When will you be able to rest easy regarding your crime? It is when you see your substitute walking free again! When you see him out of prison, you will know that the sentence has been fully served. You will know that you are now justified and no one can bring a charge against you for your old crime. No longer will you be afraid of the king or his guards coming after you because you know that the one who was punished in your place is now walking free.

Beloved, Jesus, your substitute, paid the debt you could not pay. On the cross, He bore the sins of your entire life. God put it all on Jesus and then He punished Jesus for every single one of those sins until He was fully satisfied. And because He was so pleased with what Jesus had done, He raised Him from the dead.

Today, Jesus’ tomb remains empty. He is not there for He has risen! His resurrection and empty tomb will forever be our assurance that we have been fully justified. You no longer have to be afraid of God judging you for your sins. His justice is on your side today!







Thought of The Day


Jesus’ resurrection and empty tomb will forever be our assurance that we have been fully justified!
