LIVING RIGHTEOUSLY WILL DELIVER YOU FROM TROUBLE

“Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.”

Luke 1:25

Our opening Scripture records the words of Elizabeth who had been barren and now she had conceived. God took away her reproach. When you live righteously, God will take away your reproach. When you live righteously, God will deliver you from trouble.

The righteous is delivered from trouble, and it comes to the wicked instead.

Proverbs 11:8

It does not matter how long you have been in a challenging situation, if you keep on living righteously God will take away your reproach. That is what breakthrough is all about, you have been doing things right in unfavourable circumstances until suddenly things begin to change and you experience breakthrough. If you will righteously, you will see the faithfulness of God.

God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:9

God is faithful and He remains true to His Word. You can rely on God’s Word, it does not change and it is infallible. God’s Word lives and abides forever. God’s Word is truth. When you stick to the Word you will not be put to shame. You can trust the integrity of God’s Word.

If you will keep your eyes fixed on God and His Word you will not fail. Stick to God and His Word and you will surely have a testimony.  He will deliver you from trouble.

My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Psalm 25:15

Thought of the day: Living righteously will deliver me from trouble.

Confession: My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net.

STRENGTHEN YOURSELF IN THE LORD

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 Things could be going wrong all around you, challenges everywhere, and negative thoughts attacking your mind even to a point of depression. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and wallowing up in depression, stand up and strengthen yourself in the Lord. We live in the world that has challenges, Jesus said that in the world you will have tribulations, but cheer up because Jesus has overcome the world. Strengthen yourself in the Lord and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 When you are weak you cannot overcome challenges you face in life. When you are weak you cannot have the victory and take possession your inheritance. You have to be strong. Strong

WAGE WAR WITH PROPHECY

This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare. 1 Timothy 1:18 If you have a prophecy spoken over your life it is time for warfare. It is time to wage war with your prophecy. Take the prophecy spoken over you and put it in your mouth. Speak the same prophecy over your life. Agree with God. Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3 Speak the same things with God. That is faith, faith speaks the same things with God and we overcome by our faith. Faith will put you over and it will make you an overcomer. Use your faith to wage war. And whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world – our faith. 1 John 5:4 Put up a good fight and fight the good fight of faith. You have to fight in order to win. Wage war with prophecy. If there is no prophecy spoken over you, there is nothing to it. Use the Word and speak the Word over

GOD REWARDS RIGHTEOUS LIVING

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. 2 Samuel 22:21 Righteousness according to the Old Testament is righteous living. However, in the New Testament we have received the righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ. When David in the Old Testament said that the LORD rewarded him according to his righteousness, he is essentially saying that the LORD rewarded him for his righteous living. Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 The above Scripture would then mean: “Say to those who live righteously that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.” God rewards righteous living. It doesn’t matter where you find yourself right now, if you would continue living righteously, living according to God’s Word sooner than later your life would begin to change. You can turn things around as you live righteously.
