Daniel 9:24
24Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness
On Sunday, we hear a message that says, I am the righteousness of God in Christ. On Monday, we are still confessing, I am the righteousness of God in Christ. But come Wednesday or Thursday, we begin to confess our sins! Then, when Sunday comes, we get a fresh revelation of our righteousness in Christ and we start to confess our righteousness again. Why do we do that?24Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness
It cannot be that on Sunday, we are righteous. Then, a few days later, we become unrighteous because of sin, but are re-righteoused when Sunday comes again. No, our righteousness is an everlasting righteousness! Jesus has obtained eternal redemption for us. (Hebrews 9:12)
But bro, I have just sinned. How can I still be righteous?
My friend, it is not what you do that makes you righteous. It is what Christ has done at Calvary. Romans 5:19 says, For as by one mans [Adam] disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Mans obedience many will be made righteous. It is the obedience of one Man Christ and not your obedience, that has made you righteous!
God wants you established in what Christ has done. He wants you conscious of your everlasting righteousness in Christ. How do you do that?You can listen to anointed messages that remind you of your righteousness in Christ. And dont just know it in your head. Speak it. Every morning, tell yourself, I am the righteousness of God in Christ! (2 Corinthians 5:21)
You dont need a revelation of how sinful you are. You know it when you sin. The devil reminds you of your sins. Even your friends and loved ones sometimes point out your sins. What you need, instead, is a revelation of how forever righteous you are in Gods eyes, especially when you sin.
Many Christians are defeated simply because they give in to the Devil when Satan himself comes to each believers to remind them of their sins thru various guise, know therefore even Scriptures asks the Believers to fix their eyes on Jesus as in 2 Cr 3:18: But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. It doesn't says that one needs to 'work' to change themselves does it? It's all HIS Grace that transforms the Believers into HIS Image when we behold (listening to anointed sermons proclaiming the beauty / loveliness/ majesties & all other attributes of Christ's Himself & how HE has Justified ALL from ALL things that the Law of Moses cannot Acts 13:39)
To those who are Interested, the 'Unveiled Face' in 2 Cr 3:18 speaks of the Law (Law is what one does for GOD, as for Grace, it's what GOD does for the believers) from which Bible must interpret Bible & it was expounded by Paul in an earlier passage : But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 2 Cr 3:15
Am sure all believers know that the first 5 books in the OT are written by Moses right? Basically if one is under the Law then he/she cannot see Jesus in them (1st 5 books of Moses). Just to furnish a few examples, (1) all the sacrifices in Leviticus speaks of Jesus or the shadow of Jesus Himself which came in the Flesh to fulfill (2) Jesus is the ROCK at Horeb, He was stricken & water flowed out for the Children of Israel to drink EXD 17:6 compare & contrast with Jesus's work on the Cross from which blessings flowed (3) Jesus is the Bronze serpent in which HE must be lifted & whosoever looked at it, lived Numbers 21:9 even prophet isaiah prophesied- So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him. Isa 59:19
And when you are conscious of this gift of righteousness that is everlasting, you will reign in life! (Romans 5:17) You will reign over sin, bad habits, sicknesses, lack and everything that holds you back from a victorious life!
