The Power of Righteous Living
What is Righteousness: in Hebrew (tsedek) carries meaning of justice, rightness, and moral integrity. tsedek referer to personal righteousness living in accordance to God’s will and societal justice, ensuring fairness and equity in governance and relationships.
Righteousness is of God character and His expectations for humaniyty.
in Psalm 23:3 “He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”
For His name sake, God is Righteous , to protect His name and the Honour of His name God will lead those who are His in the paths of righteousness.
Those who are of God
If you are a Saints of God , there is a responsible , a even greater responsible for you. you have to love what God loves, despise what He despise God doesn't tolerates sin , or will He compromise just because you prayed for 10 hours a day. The closer you get to God , more is expected of you.
Examples of how God Operate
In the Book of Amos 3:2–3 “You only have I known of all the families of the earth: Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Can two walk together,—except they be agreed?”.
God is saying because you are my people i have been intimate with you out of all the nation of the world. I have given you my decrees, laws . and the implications if you don't follow my decrees. But for us to continue you must agree to my commands .
God’s Divine Judgement
The Character, Integrity, and the Holiness of God requires, justice if you disobey, His commandments.
Righteous Judge
In 2 Timothy 4:8 “henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
In Psalm 7:11 “God judgeth the righteous,—and God is angry with the wicked every day.”
These passages clearly outlining that God is a Judges over the affair of men. whether good are bad. He judges.
Do good always
Its better for you to do Good, and it shall be well with you.
Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
God Rewards the Diligent
God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Amos 5:14 “Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; And so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you —as ye have spoken.”
God honor His Words
When God speaks rest assured that it's legally binding, ask Adam he knows full well that God sticks to His Words. Said heaven and earth will pass away but His Words shall not fail. He went on to say His words is above His name. In John 1:1–3In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Apostle John was saying that from before creation the word already existed,and the word created All things,and without the word nothing existed and the word is God. And we know that the word is Jesus Christ.
Body of Sermon
Proverbs 16:7When a man’s ways, please the Lord, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.”
Lets disect this scripture and why God Will cause a man’s enemies to be at pece with him.
Deuteronomy 10:12–13And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?”
The Lord requires you to fear Him , reverence, respect, honor, obedience. It's not talking about running and box in a corner whimping in horror. Serve Him with all yours heart's and soul keep His commandments and his statues. For your good. Not the good of the Lord, for your own good.
When your ways pleased the Lord
Satan is the accuser of the Brethren,he knows the laws of God,and the consequences thereof.
Revelation 12:10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.”
Day and night he is accusing us. What is he accusing us of? Whenever God speaks it becomes a law. Meaning it's announced in the realm of the spirit. All spirits or aware including demons.
Matthew 3:17 “and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
A Chapter after the announcement of Jesus we rad in
Matthew 4:3 “And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.”
After it was announced by God about Jesus Christ being His son. The next thing Satan is saying if you are the son of God.
Anywhere Jesus went demons would cry out . Jesus son of the Most High God.
Mark 5:7and cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.”
Salvation was never allocated for them, so they ensure to lay charges against us. Those charges are legal claims.
Whenever your walking in the statues of the Sovereign Lord, your ways pleases Him. God will cause your enemies to bow to you, be at peace with you. Why though?
Because your walking in His will, His laws. Anyone fights you will be fighting God. And no one can opposed God
