THE WEAPON OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
In the act of war, it’s very important and vital to have a
good attacking and defending mechanism and plan for you to be able to win, you
must have weapon that can destroy the enemies and their stronghold, and also
you must be able to repel them when they come at you. Paul says in 2 Corinthians
6:7 “We have righteousness as our weapon, both to attack and defend ourselves
(NLT).
“Righteousness brings peace. Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever” (Isaiah 32:17 NLT).
Righteousness is living rightly according to GOD law; it’s
the only way GOD wants us to live for HE SAYS we should be holy just like HIM (Leviticus
20:26), for we are god and the children of the Most High (Psalm 82:6).
Living a righteous life make you abide in GOD and HIS word
abides in you and this make you qualify to ask or decree anything and it shall
be established (John 15:7). You can call down fire like Prophet Elijah (1 King
18:38), blind your enemies just like Prophet Elisha (2 Kings 6:18), destroying
them with the fire of GOD (2 Kings 1:10), cursing them with the name of the
LORD (2 Kings 2:24), the enemies plans shall always be revealed to you by GOD
(2Kings 6:12), you shall be guided by heavenly warriors (2 Kings 6:17). Righteousness
saves life (Proverb 21:21) and no weapon fashion against you shall prosper.
We should also know that we are not fighting against
flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen
world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in
the heavenly places (Ephesian 6:12 NLT). For the weapons of our warfare are not
carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments
and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing
every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to
punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled (2 Corinthians 10:4-6).
For these reasons we must put on the
armour of GOD which among is the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesian 6:14)
the New Living Translation calls it “the body armour of GOD’s righteousness.
Let us ask for the Grace of GOD so as to live rightly, I am
sure HE is willing to bestow it on us and if you are yet to know CHRIST, give
your life unto HIM today and HE will save you from your sinful life.“Righteousness brings peace. Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever” (Isaiah 32:17 NLT).
With Love
