RIGHTWISENESS" AND THE JUDGMENTS OF GOD

TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 1:30

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption

In our previous study, we referenced "Right Standing" as one of the attributes of righteousness. Today, we'll be considering another attribute of righteousness called "Rightwiseness." Rightwiseness is not a term that's often used in everyday communication, but it's an important element of righteousness.

"Rightwise" means to be rightward; or towards the right. This, however, is not talking about the physical position of being towards the "right-hand side." It refers, instead, to rightness-the ability to always be and do right in the presence of a holy God.

Remember, righteousness is God's nature: His character, ability and attribute of being right and perfect. How He thinks, what He says, and what He does is always right, because He's God and He could never be wrong. This quality of the rightness of God is captured in the old English term, "rightwiseness."

God alone knows what's right; when He imparts His righteousness to your spirit, you also begin to know what's right just like Him, and you're given the ability to do it. The judgments of God, from thence, are wrought in your spirit. What do I mean by the judgments of God?

This has to do with how God perceives and judges things; how He sees things and what He thinks about them. Now, because of His nature in you, you now carry the judgments of God in your spirit. You have His opinions and know His will.

The prophet Isaiah, speaking about the Christ, said, "...he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth... " (lsaiah 11:3-4).

This means He would not judge according to His senses but by the Spirit. It's the same with you now that Christ has been made unto you righteousness! His "rightwiseness" and His judgments are in your spirit. You judge by the Spirit. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

I'm the unveiling of the Father's righteousness; His "rightwiseness" and sound judgments are heard in me, seen in me, and dispensed through me. I judge by the Spirit in righteousness, and reprove with equity because I'm the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Testimony Of How I Got Born Again. REV TOM AMENKHIENAN. Pastor Chris Led Me To Salvation.

JESUS LOVES ME! HE HAD MY LIFE ALL PLANNED OUT. I was born into a Roman Catholic family setting, with a strong influence of the Roman Catholic culture running through the entire family because my maternal Grandparents had been very committed and recognized leaders in the Roman Catholic Church. I was baptized and confirmed at an early age and soon enlisted as an Altar Boy (Mass Server). At this early age, the Priests and Reverend Fathers in charge of our local assembly (mostly foreigners, especially from Ireland), deliberately sought to groom, tailor and mentor me in the direction of becoming a Roman Catholic Priest, encouraging me to attend the Seminary once I came of age. I grew up with this background and was indoctrinated in it until I had my first encounter with another Christian Group in my Secondary School days when a group from the Scripture Union organized a fellowship in our school and preached the gospel to me. I attended a few of their fellowship meetings and tried to ...

Pastor Biodun Lawal tells a story.

JESUS CALLED ME! My name is Pastor Biodun Lawal. I am the zonal pastor of Christ Embassy Accra, Ghana and I want to thank our man of God, our pastor, our coach and our father for the opportunity to share my salvation testimony with you. I title it Jesus Called Me. I was born and raised up in a Muslim house, my parents were Muslims. I was trained as a kid to go to Quranic School and on how to lead prayers in the mosque as well. I grew up as a Muslim learning the things that a young Muslim should do. As at that time, my parents had a lot of Christian friends and at the age of five my parents allow me to follow their friends children to church(Sunday school) and that was my first encounter with Christianity. All the things that we were taught at the Sunday school didn’t make sense to me then because I only followed the children to go and play. Then suddenly, my parents stopped me from attending the Sunday school because they had wanted me to focus on their religion which is Islam. T...
