Today, we study the Book of Proverbs Chapter 13, where “WISDOM LOVES RIGHTEOUSNESS”
THEME:
“BENEFITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”
KEY SCRIPTURE
Proverbs 13: 9
“The light of the righteous rejoices”
REFLECTION
“Righteousness exalts”
Righteousness is the quality or state of being morally correct or justifiable.
The second book of Corinthians Chapter 5 verse twenty one testifies that “God made Jesus Christ to be sin for us, that we become the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God”
“JESUS, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS”
Brethren, without Jesus, our righteousness is “filthy rags”
Thank God, we have inputed righteousness through Jesus. Hence, our sins are forgiven.
MADE RIGHTEOUS FOR A PURPOSE
Psalms 15 tesifies that “He who walks sprightly, and works Righteousness will abide in HisTabernacle”
Indeed, the righteous is privileged! The righteous is also expected to make an impact in the following areas for the kingdom:
1. WALKING UPRIGHTLY
(Psalms 15:1-2)
2. Let Your Light Shine
(Matthew 5:16)
3. Being the Salt of the earth
(Matthew 5:13)
4. Go ye into the world and proclaim the Gospel.
(Mark 16:15)
5. Show Forth His Praise
(1 Peter 2:9)
“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS A NATION”
The Bible asserts that
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is reproach to any people.”
Indeed, walking in the way of wisdom and righteousness pleases the Lord and leads to prosperity and DIVINE LIFTING.
(Proverbs 8:20)
THANK YOU, JESUS!
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, we thank you for your obedience to the father and help us to walk uprightly.
Help our nation to embrace righteousness to enjoy your lifting.
Amen.
