RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS

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 (2 Corinthians 5:21).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, unveils one of the most extraordinary revelations in Scripture: God made Jesus, who knew no sin, to be sin for us so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Remarkable! Jesus wasn’t made a sin offering or a sin sacrifice in a figurative sense; rather, He was made sin itself. On the cross, He became the very embodiment of sin.

This is much more than He being declared sinless by God; it conveys something deeper: Jesus had a consciousness of His own sinlessness. He was sinlessness-conscious. He lived with the awareness that there was no trace of sin in Him.

This is why righteousness consciousness is so vital. If the Lord Jesus lived with a consciousness of His sinlessness, then as His righteousness, you must live with a consciousness of your righteousness in Him. He didn’t just make you righteous, He made you the righteousness of God. You’ve become the very expression of God’s righteousness. You’re His righteousness, walking and talking, in human flesh.

When you understand this, it changes the way you live. You’ll no longer see yourself as a forgiven sinner but as a bona fide child of God living out His perfection, His purity and His glory in this world. This is more than a legal standing; it’s your vital reality. He said in Isaiah 54:17, “… their righteousness is of me….”

No wonder Paul said in Philippians 3:8-9, “…that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.” Be ever conscious of your righteousness in Him. That consciousness gives you boldness in life and dominion over adversities.

PRAYER 

Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of my righteousness in Christ. I live every day with the consciousness that I’m your righteousness, holy, blameless and justified. I walk in dominion, manifesting your nature and fulfilling your perfect will for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Romans 5:1; Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 5:17; For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

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:

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...

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 ...
