TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR 19TH JULY 2024
One of the reasons why today’s Church is falling short of the manifestation of God’s power and glory, especially in these last days, is because we have failed to embrace our identity in Christ. And until you embrace your identity, you cannot function in the power therein. Any wonder Paul dedicated a good portion of his letters to teaching and establishing the saints on this important truth of our righteousness, which is by faith in Christ Jesus.
Child of God, the moment you received Jesus as Lord of your life, your nature and location changed forever. The once sinner (nature) has become the righteousness of God and is therefore seated far above (location) in Christ.
If you will truly operate in the power and glory that God has released upon His Church in these last days, you must settle it in your heart that you are not righteous because of your actions or inactions. You can do nothing to earn God’s righteousness; not now, not ever! Righteousness is a gift, only made possible because of Christ’s sacrifice at the Cross. Righteousness is the nature of the believer. It is imputed the moment you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. It is having a right standing before God. It is standing before God without any sense of sin, shame, guilt, reproach, condemnation, or inferiority complex.
When you have a revelation of your righteousness, it will enable you to live a victorious Christian life. You will understand that all the promises that accrue to the righteous in the scriptures are yours. You will also understand that no matter what happens, you can boldly approach God and expect to receive an answer. Your understanding of your righteousness in Christ shores you so that even when you make mistakes, you will run to Him instead of running away from God because you know that His arms are open to receive you.
