HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS FULFILLED IN US


...And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit (Romans 8:3-4 NIV).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 


Moses had a revelation of God’s righteousness through the Law. His perspective as expressed in some portions of the book of Deuteronomy is profound.


No wonder he marvelled at how extraordinary and unique the law was, declaring it unparalleled among the nations: "And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?" (Deuteronomy 4:8). In Deuteronomy 6:25, Moses’ heart was moved by the beauty of the Law. He did not see it as a burden of rules to obey but as a reflection of God's wonderful righteousness. He told the people that observing the commandments would be their righteousness: "And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us."


Later, in Deuteronomy 32:46-47, Moses further emphasized this truth: "...Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it." He treasured the law as life itself and urged the people to act accordingly.


The New Testament reveals a similar perspective. In Romans 8:3-4, we see the fulfilment of this righteousness through Christ. The righteousness of the Law, which Moses regarded as glorious and beautiful, has now been fulfilled in us who walk after the Spirit. God’s righteousness is expressed through us. As ambassadors of the Kingdom, we extend His righteousness, peace, and joy to the nations. Wherever you go, when you arrive, righteousness arrives. When you step into a place, peace comes with you. When you are present, joy is made manifest. This should shape your daily consciousness; you are an extension of the Kingdom of God to your world. Hallelujah!


PRAYER 


Dear Father, thank you for revealing your righteousness through your Word, and fulfilling it in us through Christ. I walk after the Spirit, manifesting the life and glory of your Word to my world. Your Word is my life, and I treasure it above all. Thank you for making me a living expression of your righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2 Corinthians 3:7-10; But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.


Galatians 3:24-25; Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.


2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
