WORKING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH

 You shall not fall into the enemy's trap because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good+Life Devotional: WORKING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Hebrews 11:33 speaks of those who “through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and obtained promises,” emphasizing that righteousness is achieved by faith. However, 1 Timothy 4:1 warns that in the latter times, some will “depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.” This shows that human behavior can be influenced by demonic forces and false teachings, pulling people away from the path of righteousness.

The born-again believer is called to walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16). Romans 8:14 declares, “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.” Being led by the Holy Spirit results in life and peace (Romans 8:6), while following the desires of the sinful nature leads to death.

Every sinful action begins as a thought. 2 Corinthians 10:5 urges believers to “cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,” and to bring “every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” By the power of the Holy Spirit, believers can silence demonic suggestions and cast out evil spirits (Mark 16:17).

Revelation 2:20 identifies the spirit of Jezebel, who misleads God's servants into sexual sin and idolatry. Jesus gave believers authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). Therefore, when unclean thoughts arise, believers must resist the devil (James 4:7), speak the Word (Matthew 4:4), and take authority in Jesus' name to walk in righteousness by faith.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to preach the gospel of Righteousness.

PRAYER: 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 overcome temptation.
