ئەپەکە بەدەست بهێنەJoseph Prince: Understanding Righteousnessنموونە
Seek First Jesus’ Righteousness
God wants you conscious of your everlasting righteousness in Christ. He wants you to be established in what Jesus has done for you. So I encourage you to take some time each day to get this revelation of your righteousness in Christ deep into your spirit.
How do you do this? You hear and feed on teachings that reveal Jesus and the gift of His righteousness through faith in His finished work. You meditate on your righteousness in Christ and declare it every day. It will put courage in your heart and bring an unshakable peace to your soul. It will energize your faith when you pray and give you a confident expectation to receive good things from your heavenly Father.
I believe that’s why our heavenly Father, in knowing the things that we need daily, tells us not to worry about them. What are we supposed to do then? We are to seek first “His [Jesus’] righteousness”—the righteousness that He has given us—and all the things that we need will be added to us.
Beloved, when you know that your right standing with God always puts Him on your side, every fear will melt away like butter on a hot day. For if God is for you, who or what can successfully prevail against you?

About this Plan
Understanding how righteous you are in Christ is key to overcoming sin and reigning in life! This devotional will show you what righteousness is and is not. See how you are as righteous as Christ Himself not by your works, but when you simply believe in Him. Cease from all self-efforts to be righteous before God and simply receive His righteousness as a gift, paid for by Jesus’ blood. Begin to believe in, rest in and speak out your righteousness in Christ, and experience God’s power to reign over every fear, sin and bondage in your life!
