Stand for Righteousness
by Apostle (Prof.) Johnson Suleman
BIBLE READING: Joshua 4-6
TEXT: “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”. – Proverbs 14 :34.
Rhema for Living 10 March 2022 Devotional MESSAGE
Any stand you take for righteousness gives you a pass Mark on the ladder of progress which is the only progress that stands the test of time and also leads to eternal life. Every act of sin or compromise of your faith will eventually lead to reproach, no matter how initially interpreted.
It is only righteousness that exalts, so make up your mind to stand for righteousness in your words and actions. Do not play neutral because it is worse off.
God says, “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.” Rev. 3 :16.
Every act of righteousness has its time of reward so don’t compromise your stand because of immediate gratification and pleasures of sin which entices people. That is why Proverbs 1 :10; counsels, “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” What that enticement seeks from you is far more than what it presents to you.
It is spiritual blindness and acute insensitivity in the things of the Spirit that makes a man gives up a mansion for temporary shelter under the bridge to avoid rain. This was exactly what Esau did when he despised his birthright for red pottage.
To stand for righteousness, you must be ready to undergo temporary discomfort or affliction because the world will kick against it using everything at its disposal to make you shift your stand.
It may call you names, deny you promotion in that office, make men conspire and lie against you.
It can put you in prison like Joseph went through, make you run from the throne and comfort of Egypt to the bush as Moses did. It may make you reject delicacies as Daniel and his friends did. But hear me, it is for a moment and nothing compared to the glory that will be revealed in your life. So stand!
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, I take a stand for righteousness.
