-The Fruit of Righteousness Is Peace-
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
  God is not against church gatherings, conventions, offerings, or sacrifices when they flow from genuine faith and obedience. What He rejects is empty religion—outward activity without inward transformation. The prophet Micah summarized God's desire: “What does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8).
   True peace and stability cannot be purchased with offerings while corruption, violence, dishonesty, oppression, and immorality continue unchecked. Isaiah 32:17 declares, “The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.” Righteousness produces what money, political power, religious ceremonies, and human wisdom cannot produce: lasting peace.
   Jesus also said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). God's order is clear: righteousness first. When individuals, families, churches, and nations embrace God's ways, the foundation for genuine prosperity and security is established.
Isaiah 1:19 gives us another powerful promise: “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.” Obedience is the pathway to enjoying God's blessings. We must therefore pray, not merely for miracles, but for transformed hearts. We need a healthy appetite for God's Word and the courage to preach righteousness without compromise.
    Our daily prayer should be: “Lord, make me hungry for Your truth. Give me power to resist temptation. Make me bold to live and proclaim righteousness.”
    A righteous church can influence a nation. Let us therefore return to repentance, obedience, truth, justice, and holiness.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, forgive me for my sins against You. I believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again for my salvation. I receive Him as my Lord and Savior. Fill me with the Holy Spirit and give me power to overcome temptation. Create in me a hunger for Your Word and boldness to preach and live in righteousness. Let my life bring glory to Your name. In Jesus' name, Amen.
