HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE KEY TO TRIUMPH

ISAIAH 51:1

We are no more talking of our own righteousness but we are talking of God’s own righteousness because our own righteousness is foolishness to God who sees it as a filthy rag. God’s own righteousness is righteousness by faith in His only begotten son Jesus Christ and nothing short of that. No matter your sacrifices and excellence if you have not made Jesus Christ your Lord and personal savior, you are lacking behind. And you cannot please God. Jesus is the key to triumph in this wicked world. It is the only name that can make something out of nothing.
ISAIAH 51:1
(1)               “Listen to me, you who are pursuing righteousness,
you who are seeking Jehovah look to the rock from
which you were hewn. And to the quarry from which
you were dug.
(2)               Look to Abraham your father; And to Sarah who gave
birth to you. For he was only one when I called him
And blessed him and made him many.”

We cannot talk of righteousness by faith in Jesus Christ without mentioning the father of faith in the person of Abraham who believed God and it was recorded on his account as righteousness. Till date, Abraham remains the father of faith. This is why, when we believe in Jesus Christ; we are sons and daughters of Abraham.
GALATIAN 3:6
(1)               “Just as Abraham “Put faith in Jehovah and it was
Counted to him as righteousness
(2)               Surely you know it is those who adhere to faith
Who are sons of Abraham
(3)               Now the scripture, foreseeing that God would
declare people of nations righteous through faith
declared the good news before hand to Abraham
namely: “By means of you all the nations will be
blessed”
(4)               So those who adhere to faith are being blessed
Together with Abraham who had faith”

So we can see that God’s own righteousness these last days is based on faith. Your faith determines yours triumph. You cannot triumph more than your faith. And faith comes by knowledge of the truth.
PSALM 2:2
(2)            “The King of the earth take their stand. And
high official gather together as one against
Jehovah and against his anointed
(3)             They say: “let us tear off their shackles. And
throw off their ropes
(1)               The one enthroned in the heavens will laugh:
Jehovah  will scoff at them”
(2)               At that time he will speak to them in his anger
And terrify them in his burning anger
(3)               Saying: I myself have installed  my king on Zion
My holy mountain”



It is only God’s own righteousness that can liberate you in this wicked and adulterous generation. God’s righteousness is according to your faith. Not according to your works. Your faith in Jesus will prove your worth in the face of opposition. Thank you.
