RIGHTEOUSNESS MAKES US MASTERS
For if by one man’s offence death
reigned by one; much more they which
receive abundance of grace and of the
gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).
reigned by one; much more they which
receive abundance of grace and of the
gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).
Righteousness is the nature of God, which was
imparted to your spirit when you were born
again; it’s a gift from God to the whole world, but not
everyone has received it. However, those who receive
the gift of righteousness, according to the scriptures,
shall reign in life! The Amplified version says, they shall
reign as kings in life.

everyone has received it. However, those who receive
the gift of righteousness, according to the scriptures,
shall reign in life! The Amplified version says, they shall
reign as kings in life.
The word “reign” in Romans 5:17 above is actually
a verb, which in the original Greek construction
means “to king”; that expresses authority, dominion,
and mastery. Righteousness makes us masters in life;
we reign, or “king” in life, through righteousness.
Righteousness-consciousness eliminates any sense of
guilt, condemnation, or inferiority from us; it places
us ahead and above Satan and his accusations. It also
gives us the boldness and confidence to pray to God
and expect answers; we’re unafraid and unashamed
before Him, because we have His righteousness.

Without an understanding of righteousness, a
Christian can’t live victoriously over the enemy. He’ll be
subject to the elements of the world, not understanding
the extent and potency of his authority in Christ. This is why you must keep growing in the knowledge of
God’s Word. Ephesians 4:14 says, “That we henceforth
be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried
about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of
men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait
to deceive.”

Be conscious that you’re the righteousness of
God in Christ Jesus. There’re some Christians who
experience spiritual attacks; that’s because they aren’t
righteousness-conscious; they aren’t living the Word.
They haven’t come to the realisation that they’re
kings in life. Isaiah 32:1 lets us know that kings reign
in righteousness.

By virtue of your new life in Christ, and your
position as a righteous king-priest, the whole world
is subdued before you. You have the mastery over
Satan and his cohorts of darkness; you’re a champion
for life! Glory to God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your righteousness in
my spirit, which has made me a master over Satan
and the powers of darkness, and has put me in a
position of advantage. I reign and rule as a king,
walking in mastery and victory over circumstances.
The world is subdued before me, in the Name of the
Lord Jesus. Amen.
