THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD THAT DEFIES IMPOSSIBILITIES

Being equipped with the knowledge of God's righteousness awakens an uncanny confidence especially in the hearts of His children. This understanding can not be misunderstood or even replaced by the uncertainty pervading our present day's society. Although many perceive righteousness as an unattainable feature, the possibility of possessing this unique quality of our heavenly Father lies within the realms of unwavering Faith in the Son of God. His blood has made dining with God an attainable standard that only a selected few can achieve. However, we are to ensure that our Faith in God is solidified by a corresponding believe that He is the rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. When this ultimately becloud out thoughts, only then will the powerful influence of the God that conquers all impossibilities take effect in our lives.


The Holy Bible teaches us that God is righteous and just in all His ways. Psalm 145:17 declares, "The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works." This righteousness is not merely a set of rules or moral guidelines but a reflection of God's very nature of Holiness. God's righteousness is perfect, pure, and unwavering. In contrast, humanity is inherently sinful and has fallen short of God's standard of righteousness. Just as Romans 3:10 rightly states, "There is none righteous, no, not one." It is clear that by our own efforts, it is impossible to reach the heights of God's righteousness.


Nevertheless, the good news is that God's righteousness is not dependent on our own abilities or achievements. Instead, it is a gift that God freely bestows upon those who have faith in Him. Romans 3:22 affirms, "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe." Through faith in Jesus Christ, we can be clothed in His righteousness and be justified before God. This is not something we earn or deserve; it is an act of God's grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 proclaims, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."


The righteousness of God does not only forgive our sins. It also empowers us to live a life that is pleasing to Him. When we accept the righteousness of God, we are transformed from the inside out. 2 Corinthians 5:17 declares, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." This transformation is not a result of our own efforts but is brought about by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit empowers us to overcome the sins and struggles that once held us captive. We no longer live as slaves to sin but as heirs of the Kingdom of the righteous God.


The righteousness of God defies human limitations and impossibilities. In our own strength, we may find it impossible to be holy, to resist temptations or to forgive those who offend us. This is not so with the righteousness of God. When His righteousness comes into us, we are given the power to overcome these challenges. Philippians 4:13 testifies, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." It is this righteousness of God that sustains us through trials and tribulations. In Romans 8:37, we are assured, "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."


All throughout the Scriptures, we find examples of individuals who experienced the righteousness of God in remarkable ways. Noah, against all odds, found favour with God and was deemed righteous in a corrupt generation. Abraham, though deemed too old to conceive, was counted as righteous because of his unwavering faith in God. Moses, a stutterer with a checkered past, was used powerfully by God to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land. These stories stand as a testament to the righteousness of God that defies all impossibilities.


In conclusion, the righteousness of God, as portrayed in the Holy Bible, is not an unattainable or impossible standard. Rather, it is a gift freely given through faith in Jesus Christ. It is a kind of righteousness that transforms us, empowers us, and enables us to live a life that honours God. This righteousness defies human limitations and impossibilities, enabling us to overcome challenges and obstacles that seem insurmountable. Let us embrace the righteousness of God and walk in its power, knowing that we serve a God that nurtures to the attainment of His expectations.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF EVERY GOOD TREE

  In the Holy Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew chapter 7, verse 17, it is written: "Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." It is important to remember that most trees are known by the fruit they bear but as we digest this piece, let us not be quick to forget the spiritual principle that states that good actions will always yield good results, just as a good tree will yield good fruit. During the course of living our daily lives, we may have encountered situations where our actions and choices determined the outcomes we experience. This is a true reflection of this moral principle. However, the teachings of JESUS CHRIST as outlined in the Holy Bible must still serve as the guiding light for believers who seek to live righteous and fruitful lives. The fruit of a tree is a reflection of the health and vitality of the tree itself. Similarly, the choices and actions of every Christian showcases the character of g...

The Benevolence That Renews Our Minds

  In a world often fraught with stress, conflict, and uncertainty, finding inner peace and contentment can feel like an elusive dream. However, the ageless wisdom from God Almighty sheds light on the transformative power of a renewed mind while revealing to us the path that leads towards benevolence and fulfilment.   The concept of a renewed mind is emphasized in Romans 12:2. It states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This verse encourages us to network our thoughts and ensure that it is in tune with the truth neptuned in God’s Will. A renewed mind foils the sense of inner peace and harmony. It allows us to view life's challenges through a lens of faith and resilience. Philippians 4:7 beautifully captures this promise, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS FOR GREATNESS

Most things in life survive with the nutrition they get from ingesting food. Everything we take into our nervous system either acts to heal us or to destroy us. We must therefore ensure that we consider consuming those with the potentials for providing healing and reject every other. Do not think of nourishment only as what we take in through our mouths. What we consume with our eyes, our ears, our noses, our tongues, and our bodies also constitute the nutrients we feed on. Reasonable contribution and inputs that we occasionally deliver during the conversations we engage ourselves in on daily basis can only be possible by feeding on enriching and nourishing nutrients. We are not expected to neglect consistent consumption of healthy food both emotionally, physically and spiritually because they help in making us modern versions of the mind edifice that guarantees the indemnification of moral sanctity. Think about it this way. If moral sanctity blossom, the society will be filled with mo...
