Everlasting Righteousness by Joseph Prince
Daniel 9:24
24“Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness…
On Sunday, we hear a message that says, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” On Monday, we are still confessing, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” But come Wednesday or Thursday, we begin to confess our sins! Then, when Sunday comes, we get a fresh revelation of our righteousness in Christ and we start to confess our righteousness again. Why do we do that?
It cannot be that on Sunday, we are righteous. Then, a few days later, we become unrighteous because of sin, but are “re-righteoused” when Sunday comes again. No, our righteousness is an “everlasting righteousness”! Jesus has obtained “eternal redemption” for us. (Hebrews 9:12)
“But Pastor Prince, I have just sinned. How can I still be righteous?”
My friend, it is not what you do that makes you righteous. It is what Christ has done at Calvary. Romans 5:19 says, “For as by one man’s [Adam] disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.” It is the obedience of one Man — Christ — and not your obedience, that has made you righteous!
God wants you established in what Christ has done. He wants you conscious of your everlasting righteousness in Christ. How do you do that? You can listen to anointed messages that remind you of your righteousness in Christ. And don’t just know it in your head. Speak it. Every morning, tell yourself, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ!” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
You don’t need a revelation of how sinful you are. You know it when you sin. The devil reminds you of your sins. Even your friends and loved ones sometimes point out your sins. What you need, instead, is a revelation of how forever righteous you are in God’s eyes, especially when you sin.
And when you are conscious of this gift of righteousness that is everlasting, you will reign in life! (Romans 5:17) You will reign over sin, bad habits, sicknesses, lack and everything that holds you back from a victorious life!

Life is about finding yourself...
Saw this while I was standing on the train.
Mmmmm...
Which thought do you prefer?
"Life isn't about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself."
At first, it sounds very inspiring.
Yes.
You need to start "creating" yourself.
Be the person you want to be. Emulate your fave actors or actresses or rap artists.
Attend a motivational course.
Aim high ...
Reach your goal!
Be the best that you can be because it'll make you proud.. This will make people look up to you and respect you..
Yes. Create yourself!
You see...
There's really nothing wrong in
this and it may work for you.
Awesome right?
But with me??
I dont think so.
I tried changing or "creating" myself a hundred times but failed. Lolx.
Even up to now, there are some slight attempts to make that change abit but nyah!
I realised it has become so stressful for me I figured I can't take it anymore!
I don't want to struggle back again then get depressed.
It just make me so pathetic.:/
Perhaps...
"Life is about finding yourself..."
Where??
Definitely not in the clubs, shopping malls, pubs, dream places, getaways, on top of your success etc ...
Because I call these places as temporary happiness-inducer.
What pleasure it gives to you just don't last.
Like withered leaves, it falls and fades away with time.
So where am I suppose to find myself.
Mmmmm I say
It's not "where".
It's whom.
Whom to find myself?
Of course. I got the right answer for you.
in Jesus. :)
in Jesus I find my peace,
My everlasting joy.
My comfort.
My healing.
My protection.
My refuge.
I find it easier this way.
Just lovely!
No stress. And no more struggle.
I can be myself and still smile amidst the adversities and conflicts the world loves to give.
In Jesus I find my rest.
It's just beautiful.
And guess what,
For me this is pure VICTORY!
:)
Halleluyah!
