The Righteous and the Wicked Vessel

 

Text: Proverbs 24:16 (KJV)

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

Do you still remember that you are a righteous and not a wicked vessel? This is because Christ has imputed His righteousness in us, and it is not meant to be kept dormant, but instead, it is meant to be used in all circumstances. Our text above tells us a lot about what the righteous enjoy, and I hope you and I can be called the righteous because we can’t envy the wicked for their fall is into mischief.  The good news is that whatever has made us exempt from those called righteous or has caused us to miss those benefits, as we confess our sins to Him now, they are written off in Jesus name. AMEN Colossians 2:14- Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Many at times, we go through several temptations, but we have been taught before that you being tempted is not a bad thing, and you falling into temptations is not the end of life, but when you stay in that temptation is where the problem is. We should always remember to return quickly to the Lord whenever we go astray from Him and remember His arms are wide open to accept us. 

The truth is since we are still in this world and born out of it, there will be imperfections, but the good news is you allowing God, the potter, makes Him to work on those imperfections and remember He still loves you despite all of that. Romans 5:8- But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. We must also remember, no one can exempt us from the benefits of the righteous only we can do that, and I pray we will not exempt ourselves from those benefits, in Jesus name. 

PRAYER POINTS: 

1.Father, may my hope of living as a righteous person not be cut off, in Jesus name.

2. Father, may our righteousness in Christ exalt us as individuals and as a nation as we put on the new man and put off the old man, in Jesus name.
