THE TEACHING ON RIGHTEOUSNESS PROMOTES A NATION 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Righteousness, as defined in the Bible, is living in accordance with God’s standards of justice, truth, and moral integrity. The teaching on righteousness is not just an individual mandate; it has profound implications for nations as well. Proverbs 14:34 states, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” This verse emphasizes that when a nation prioritizes righteousness, it thrives, gaining honor, stability, and divine favor.

  Righteousness in governance and leadership ensures justice and equity. Proverbs 29:2 declares, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” Leaders guided by righteous principles create policies that promote fairness, protect the vulnerable, and uplift the moral fabric of society. Such leadership fosters peace and unity, laying the foundation for sustainable progress.

   Furthermore, righteousness begins at the individual and family levels. Isaiah 32:17 reveals, “The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.” When individuals commit to righteous living, communities flourish. The ripple effect transforms societal norms, shaping a culture that values integrity, compassion, and truth.

  Ultimately, a nation’s strength is not in its economy or military but in its moral compass. As Jesus taught, “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33). Righteousness aligns a nation with God’s will, ensuring enduring prosperity and divine protection.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and for our pastors to teach more on righteousness.

PRAYERS: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to live in righteousness.
