DAILY SPIRITUAL FOOD; A STRONG Exhortation To Heavenly Righteousness; Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.2 Timothy 2;22 Blessed are those who keep justice,And he who does[a] righteousness at all times! Psalm 106;3 Brethren when we live in absolute righteousness of God He gives us an open-ended grace to be in charge of the enemies-satan and his demonic agents,deceptions and power. Friends,righteousness actually is right standing with a holy and amiable God and this involves aligning our wills to his. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Romans 16;20 Joseph,Daniel and other true disciples of God,both in the old and new testament periods,made up their minds-with an unfailing determination-to resist evils/sins and to vehemently pursue Gods heavenly righteousness;Not the destructive,self-seeking righteousness of man or group of individuals. In fact they applied the three letter word But to strongly shun and refuse to be lured into sin by satan and his world of evil.God saw this and rewarded and blessed them handsomely . But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” Genesis 39;8-9 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.Daniel 1;8 Brethren like Joseph,Daniel and others, God expects us all to try at all cost and at all times, to strongly resist the temptations and attractions of the world. We must ,like Job who truly pleased God and got His rewarding blessings,made covenant with members of our bodies not to sin against a holy God and thus incur His fierce anger/punishment. “I have made a covenant with my eyes;Why then should I look upon a young woman? For what is the allotment of God from above, And the inheritance of the Almighty from on high?Is it not destruction for the wicked,And disaster for the workers of iniquity? Does He not see my ways,And count all my steps?Job 31;1-4 Brethren,our God is a symbol of justice and will always be on the side of the righteous and faithful christian believers. Wherever Gods righteousness (Holiness) and faith is found,God appears (shows up) to save,bless,favor and honor. The Lord rewards every act of righteousness and promotes the christian believers to a higher realm of spiritual and physical attainments. So it was, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying, “Your servant did to me after this manner,” that his anger was aroused. Then Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison. But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison; whatever they did there, it was his doing. The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph’s authority,[a] because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper.Genesis 39;19-23 May God grant us all the grace to hunger,thirst and genuinely pursue after true heavenly righteousness, so we can please Him and thus earn our eternal inheritances laid up for us in heaven//more grace and God bless.
