Tonight because we have received so much of God's word and we just contrain myself who we read versus of the Bible. Don't worry, I won't priad. We will read verses of scriptures just to introduce an emphasis that God has put in my spirit to share with you tonight, and I trust that it's. Going to bless us. If you have noticed most of the teachings we do in the Tuesday Bible studies a targeted as developing at developing character and. Building in this kingdom. If you will be relevant, there are three forces that you cannot do without anybody you find in this kingdom who is relevant and who will not just be relevant momentarily. But last, there are three pillars that is life and ministry must be built upon. Number one is the pillar of revelation. If you don't have accurate revelation of the Word of God, you can never amount to anything in the kingdom. Investimoty four thirteen, Paul was speaking to Timothy. He said, until I come, it is a give attendance to reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine. In Vese fifteen, he. Said, give thyself wholy to these things. He said that thy profiting may be made manifest to all. In Second Timotive to fifteen, it says thirty to show thyself approved onto God, a watchman that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word. Of truth glory to God. So if you want to be relevant in God's kingdom, you must have an accurate revelation of the word of God. Paul, speaking in Acts of the Apostles twenty Verst. Thirty two, he said, I commend you to God and onto the world of his grace, which is able to keep you and to give you an inheritance amongst them. Which are sanctified. The depth of your revelation is. What determines the authority you command in the kingdom. He said, declare now if you have understanding. So if you don't have understanding, you have no inheritance in the kingdom, and you can never exercise authority. The second pillar that determines relevance and prominence in the kingdom is consecration. Anybody who does don't have consecration, that governance is life is going nowhere. And I have taught you before. We have generic consecrations that every believer was attained to like prayer, like fasting, like study, like fasting, like giving. These are general consecration. Jesus was teaching in ma Fu chapter six. Is a when thou prayest, So is not if it's when you must. It's a when thou fastest. It's a when thou givest. So. Consecretion is what establishes a man in the kingdom. No matter the revelation. You have, if it is not backed up by consecration, you are just another good lecturer. The forces that your mobilize to support your revelation comes from your intimate work with. The Holy Ghost. Consecration is a pillar in this kingdom. And so there are general or generic consecrations, and then there are personal consecrations. Now, personal consecrations are superior. To general consecrations. General consecrations are important and fundamental. But if you don't have a personal consecration, it means you don't have a walk with God. Because the way God does it is that he moves you from general consecrations into personal consecrations. If God sees that. You're first regularly, you give, regularly, you pray, your study, a point will come. You will now begin to talk to you about personal things you should do. Those are the ones that affect your ordination. In particular, he said to something his hair must not be caught. Now, that is not a doctrine. That is where his power as a minister of God is hiding. If you go about telling people don't cut your hair, you will erase something that is inconsistent with the nature and character of the spirit. But you see, if you don't even keep general consecration, you will know God to a point where he can give you personal consecration. Because you must have a work with God until you grow into sonship. He said, my sheep hear read my voice. In the kingdom, there are lambs and there are sheeps. The lamb does not know the voice of the ship. It follows the bleating of the sheep. It doesn't know the voice of the shepherd. It follows the bleating of the sheep. So when all of us came into the kingdom, we heard the prayer is important, and we saw it in the scriptures. We had the firstest important, and that's what the fathers did. But as we started working with God, a point came. God now came to you and told you, every three time money comes to your hand, give me thirty percent. Now that is not a doctrine. It means you have journey to a level where your relationship with Him has become personal. John said in First John, Chapter one, from verse one. He said that which was from the beginning, which we had, which we saw, which we looked upon, then we hand it. So they moved from what was taught generally to a personal relationship with go a point. Come. God tell you when you wake up, before you greet anybody, before you go out, stay with me for two hours. That is what we determine your rank in this kin. You will not amount to anything if you don't joiney beyond general consecrations to personal consecrations. There are times when God will tell you, foras hide yourself, and you are wanting, I have ordered these are the decisions of my opportunities. People are calling you from everywhere. Doors are opening. God, say hi to yourself. You will stay there. That's what we're determine the powers that you read in this kingdom. So when you find men who are might in the kingdom. They have robust consecrations. And then when you move from personal consecrations, God do not give you special consecrations. Special consecrations are not personal and they are not general. Yet they are available for everybody who can pay the price of alignment to enter. So when God wants to raise people to lead the generation, in measure setting consecrations for that generation, anybody who can rise. To keep it, we receive a mantu to lead this generation. So general consecration makes you a spiritual man. Personal consecrations activates the power of your ordination. But special consecration helps you to have to fill the voids of your generation. Say, there are many prophets in every generations, but there are prophets that lead the generation. There are many apostles in every generation, but there are persons that lead generations. There are many leaders who have grades for government, but there are few who become national leaders, and there are few who become global leaders. There are special consecration. God does not tie to anybody. Many we rise up into those consecrations, and by God's sovereign authority, if we pick somebody. Now, remember, if you are not a virgin, you are not part of the women that can give birth to Christ. No one you don't. Even you won't be there, no matter how you love. God is for virgins. It's a virgine shall give bed. That means for that generation, a consecration benchmark has been created. So if you want to hope, if you hope. To be the mother of Jesus, assuming he has not come, it means virginity for you is a must because it's a consecration for a generation nobody name was there a virgine shall give bed. So out of the many virgins, God do not pick one and say you are highly favored. But you see, you must first of all meet the consecration of that generation. This is why some of you, as you started working with God, a point came. God began to give you some consecration. You're now reading a book. You discover that the same thing God is telling you he thought somebody fifty years ago, and you are saying the same thing in his books and don't want what's going on here? It means you have been aligned. Hello him, I don't hello him? No, hello him, Hello him, Donna, Hello him, I dona. Hello. You are coming to marry jabul Age And then suddenly you God just whispers to you that you won't marry. No. No, Now you if you preach that you have moved the body of Christ into darkness. It's a special consecration. There are certain things that only you not did for God. There are certain things that only virgins did for God. There are certain things that only people who can hazard their lives. It's a poem bannabas he. Said, this be the man that has added their lives for the Gods. So God we benchmark special consecration. If you read the Bible, you find some. And then when you have time to read after men that came before you, you will see that some of the consecrations God gave you, he gave them exactly what do you think John the Baptist had the same consecration as Elijah. That was the consecration that sizes that man to. If you we work in that man to, you must keep that consecration. So if you saw John, he was a replica of Elijah. Meanwhile, there were many. Generations apart, but the consecration shaped him into a dimension that the man to can rest. So that as special consecrations. But God cannot start with you at the level of special consecration unless he has journeyed with you from general consecrations to personal consecrations. And if you perfect personal consecrations. Then he begins to show you some things. When I tell you, in Africa, I'm looking for five voices. That's why you five voices. There are two million preachers. You will say, yes, those ones are handling localssemblies and territories. I need five voices for Africa. You know, just not want to. Is there a rem like that? Now you will not. It will not be written anywhere because even if it's written, nobody will believe. You know, when Joe went to Heaven, I had the voice of the seven Tonders. He wanted to write. The angels said, don't waste your time. They can't believe. Only those who travel this far can even accept it. God, do not tell you I want to raise three billionaires in dollars to move the gospel in the next dispensation. Now, this type is not business. Is entrust meent. That's why you know that the wealth of the gentiles can be transferred. But you will tell you your consecration is that ninety percent of your resources will not be for your personal gender. If you preach it to your wrong. It's not the doctrine a you not discover when you started it. That's some people were giving ninety percent, and God use them mightily. You know you that's how you discover your lineage in the spirit, because a pretty lineage you operating the spirit is consecration that determines the part way. So the person you are taken over from maybe a Canadian, You may be a congolice. It has no respect for Rasia Baria. It is a spiritual order. And you can go and live with a person in Canada and not inherit that grice because a consecration is what determines it. So anybody who is mighty in this kindom is mighty because of the consecrations that govern his life. When you find spiritual man, you will not meet their cars, you not meet their buildings. You will find their orders because the consecrations they keep, it's what determines their part of navigation. So a man who does don't have a consecration is not a spirit. A number three what makes men relevant in this kingdom is virtuous. If you want to be great in this kindom, listen, there are virtues that I must. If you don't have love with you, forget it. Then are certain things God can't give you. Because you may pass the test of consecration and fail in the test of virtue. God we still with all that entrustment from you, because if He gives you certain powers and you speak out of anger, you can take the charge backward by forty years. But so God wins. A man came the other time and. He said he was angry with the state for twenty six years. He said, now he has released the state. Ah, he's an intercessor. But he said the state. Did not honor him, so he was angry with the state. Do you know the destiny of people that would have been affected in twentyseas? When I heard it, I said, I respect your labor in the kingdom, but I don't think you have this authority because God can't risk giving this kind of authority to somebody who can hold the states to ransom. No, when you find men who truly have power, they are broken people, because virtue is the regulator of authority in this kingdom. Virtue, love, humility, and brokenness, generosity, kindness, all of those virtues supposed. To be built into you. Say. This is why sometimes you go to the mountain. You're first for forty days, hoping that you encounter the man to Babylon God, we say, go back and forgive that your sister that you're keeping man this way, because don't matter your revelation, and if you don't want to die of versa, go and forgive because your your. Virtue. Virtue. Power is regulated by virtue. So if you find great men in the kingdom, three things regulate them revelation, consecration, and virtue. And so the Bible studies are designed to build virtue. That's the point I'm trying to make with all of the introduction. Hello him Madna, Hello him Ma Dona. You know. I said coming up, Minister, I was, I have persons for power because I've seen the devil. See I've seen the devil waste too manity. I've seen people trusting God like this with all they know, and we thought their faith, their loved ones did die. It has happened to me too. I've seen people way of pain, sickness. Some people people you come, they say they have been crying like that for three years. The devil has have wok on humanity. So I am somebody who wants to wield power because God cannot be glorified unless there's power. Humanity cannot be helped unless there's power. Purpose cannot be forfilled unless there's power. So I I'm mad, I'm somebody that after that transformation, my next focus is wisdom and power. I don't joke with it. And so when we start the pressing in prayer, I will go to a level and sets a nunction and God will tell me pride, pride, pride, pride, pride that grace can rest. And then you start learning how to work in humility. After you get humility to a level. After six months, you have attended an energy level, God will now release some measure that means. He has he is devil, but you can't. That's it. You move move the anger, anger, anger, anger, you move move there. Selfishness, selfishness, selfish. That was I now discovered that there are some things that take time. So when you see the fathers when things happen, they don't react. They have gone through process for ages. It's not because they don't know what to say. They can come in anger, but they've seen too much. Sometimes when you say some things, they will say, you should have gone beyond this level. Now that you have said this, it means you didn't pass that class. He will go back for four years we won't go beyond here because you're not. You will come at me. You know, there are people who don't have a walk in the spirit. They there are fourteen vast thines they don't know. So let's stop here. But you need revelation, you need consecration, and you need virtues. Let's celebrate Dr Chiamaca for bringing that dimension. Contentment very important some of the things he was hearing. You know, time was too short, so she was quoting a lot of scriptures that she couldn't delve into. Take time and go and. Study those scriptures. It will help you, I'm telling you. Meanwhile, I think from today I will start calling her baroque, her shame, a donna. Plessed be the name of the Lord. She pre she entered Hebrew. Tonight, I want to begin and hope to join a quick far on what the Lord put in my spirit for you. The way of the Righteous. That's what I want to share on tonight, The way of the Righteous. If you study the New Testament, we are actually one of the major names used to qualify us is they just? And they just actually is a synonym for the righteous. And so every Christian must understand thoroughly the subject of righteousness and understand the system or the practical expression of that subject. You must understand what righteousness is, and you must master out to work in it. He said in huber Cop Chapter two, verse four, they Josh shall live by faith Romance one seventeen. They Josh shall live by faith. Galatians three level They Josh shall live by faith Debrews ten thirty eight. They just shall live by faith. And so we are described as a righteous people. This is why it's important for us to understand how the righteous live their lives, because it's possible for you to even know a few things about the subject, but you don't understand the practicality of living it out. Meanwhile, it's a huge blessing to be righteous. Israel could not attend it for one thousand, five hundred years. To show you that this is one of the places where God insists that it was one hundred percent. He said, the righteousness of a man is a fewty rack before God. That means, no matter how you try, if it's one hundred percent, it's not it. And when we see the blessings and the blessedness of righteousness, we understand why it is keen and serious matter in the eyes of God. P. Five, verse twelve. Let me read some criptures just to give you an idea of the blessedness of being a righteous or a just man. He said, for the Lord will blessed the righteous with favor without compassing, as with a shield. So the righteous man is so blessed that he weirs favor anywhere he comes to. Favor peculates out of him like an a rumor. And you know, Father is not just people smile at you. Favor is a force that breaks protocols. You know, when Esther came before the king and start up the five vers two, he said, she found favor before the king, and the king said, what do you want? She has not answered, I will give it to you. She had not answered, even if it's up to half of my kingdom. That's how favor works. It breaks protocols, even in the highest level of power. And Father does not just break protocol Feather attracts resources. He said in Exodus Strength that he sees that God gave favor to the Israelites. They spoilt the Egyptians. They receive more than they could end. They receive more that they qualify for. And the Barber is saying. One of the ways God blesses the righteous is that he shield seem with favor. So the things people cry for just begins to happen to you, and even you are wanting. What is going on is because you are righteous. Now, as you walk out of this meeting your way, discover that favor will intensify in your life. You know the reason we share these things. It is not just to teach you, is to speak it into your dimension. As you hear it, you become it. I say, as you walk out of here, favor that breaks protocols Father, that attracts things that you don't merit. It rests upon you the less sadness of the righteous man. God blesses him and shields him with favor. Inst. Four Verse fifteen. He said, the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are opened to. Their christ or to their prayers. So if you are righteous, your prayers are already confirmed answered only right. Only. No righteous man prays with uncertainty. Because the prayer of the sinner is an abomination before God. But when a righteous man prays, there is a guarantee for answer. This is why the Bible spoke about Elijah, and he said, a subject to life passion, just as you are. He prayed and said that there should be no read, and there was no rey. But what was the key? He said, for the effectual, favent prayer of a righteous man, I will let much in make a tremendous power available when we pray that are answers. It is a guarantee that God gives to the right jobs. He said. God is looking at you everywhere you go to and his ears are open waiting for you to say something. They moment you are tiet, he said, God answers. This is why when we talk we talk with boldness, because we know that back up is a guarantee. I'm trying to show you the blessings of a righteous man so that you we leave it because most of you, when we say right, trus, right, schrus all righteous that you think it's just a short cliche, or we are trying to force you not to do some things. You don't know what it means. When you are righteous, you are blessed. Favor follows you, God's eyes follows you, and anything you say God produces answers. David was speaking in seven verse twenty five. He said, I have been young. He say, now I'm old. He say, yet I'm yet to see the righteous forsaking, or he seed beg for bread. So one of the guarantees guaranteed levels of existence is the level of righteous living. When a man of praising righteousness is existence. That means cause presence for you is a toku and a gift. You can't be forsaken. And he says that presence is not just there for you to feel something and fall down. He say, you will never experience what the ordinary man experiences. When men are going through hardship and are frustrated. He say, you take note begging, it's not your possible. You will never deterrior red to that level we have the quality of your life is equal with that of an righteous man. He we never beg for bread. No wonder the Bible said, he is like a tree planted by the river. Some one ves three. He said, he produces his fruits in his city. He said, whatsoever he do it, he shall prosper. Whatsoever. See those of first who are righteous most times. The reason we inquire of God is because we are careful not to do what God didn't assign to us. Because in case we do it will see succeed. This man talking to you here. If I was a politician, my brother, I would have succeeded, but it would not have been part of my ordination. He said, whatsoever he do it. If I need preachy and going to business, he'll be shocked because they glace the powers. This ministry will power the same thing. Whatsoever. So when you see us seeking God's face, it's not because we are not sure whether will succeed or not. We know we will succeed, but we want to succeed in what was reading before we were born, before I formed in your mother's room, I knew you, I obtained you. We want to succeed in ordination because it has already been captured. Whatsoever the righteous to it. So if you are failing, one of the places to. Check is righteousness, because it's a guarantee for success. I was your Now I am old. So I'm not talking as a novice. I've looked around and this is not an nary person talking. This is a king. He had access to the entirety of the land. I've never seen the righteous for sicking, nor he said, beg for bread, the blessedness of the righteous man. You know what the Bible said in some fifty eight Western and eleven. He said, even in the day of vengeance, the righteous rejoices when people can God against you. We were killing, We were killing. The righteous is not petalk. That's why I say he shall not be moved, because even in the midst of trouble, it's already guarantee you. The Bible said, God that together you wish cattle. It's that that counsel together, Isha, come to law. Speak the world is shawn. Say that is something we are. We are righteous. The presence of God is with us, and his eyes are oppon us. He frustrated the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. They say, although the enemy comes, he said, like a flaw the spirit of the law. Do you know how many people wish we fail or are destroyed. When some people look at you, bitterness comes out of their spirit. Look at this tiny, arrogant, proud person. He will soon die. But the more they look, the more you flourish. Because the part of the justified, it's just a shiny light. It shines brighter and brighter onto the perfect. Your existence becomes a comment for them. They're worting to hear bad news. They hear not a good one. They hear not a good one, and they're wondering what did come out of cisy. There's more such thing as cisy, for it right, trust man. It's from glory to glory. It's from grace to grace. It's from faith to faith. It's from wisdom to wisdom. It's from power to power. I prophesied over you. I shall step out of this place. You shall saw like the egos in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, please sit down. Proverbs three thirty three. You are not just blessed as an entity. Anywhere you call your dwelling, that's its enterday. So if a righteous man visits you, you are blessed. If a righteous man decides to relocate to where you are living, begin to tank gold. You know what is said, The cause of the Lord is in the house of the weaked. The same way, no matter. What a wicked man does, cost to west with him. He said, in like manner, he said, God blessed not just the righteous, but this habitation. I know, this. Ministry is blessed. You have a business, it is blessed. Anywhere you are living is blessed. Many people come, Oh, they say, which were living here before? They're saying the night they used to fly. That's why you kid the last messon that was here, his son died miraculously. You are conscious of what happened to that person. I don't know who that person is, but I know who I am. It's a great I see that is in you than he that is in the war. He said, what's advised one of God overcome and the war. This is the victory that overcomes the war. If on our faith, the habitation of the righteous is blessed. Even if Satan was living there, if. I shure he has enough intelligence to know what to do, because the lights shine it in the darkness, the darkness comprehended it. No, when I come, Blessings come when I come, light comes, when I come, victory comes. It's a consciousness that produces tower. Keep enough, O, double enough. Please hear this, Please hear this. I am not saying those who. Invite people to bless their houses or pray, I'm not saying they're wrong. That's why I told you or thor it in this kingdom. It's a functional revelation, and that's why God raises ministers to help the threat of people as they are yet growing. But you say this is where you should live. You know what the sun is said? He said, do I walk through the value of the shadow of death. He calls it the value of the shadow, the value that's the depressed realm of existence, and it's also the shadow of death. He said, there's no need to fear. Fear is a waste of time. Why he said, thou art with me. If God is with you, who can be against you? Is there? They were tracking through nationals. Kings wanted to destroy them. They couldn't. Is that he rebuilt kings for their sack, and he gave a law in the spirit that's not my annoyter to my profits nohr. And when Belac wanted to try it, he fired against it. He invited Bella cast them. The guy tried and tried and tried. He had a conclusion. There's no rustment against Jakov, there's no definition against Israel. The shout of the king is Indian miss Israel was not playing for protection, but there was something that can compass them. As you step out of this spitting to night, every fan that has put you down, then we shut down. Yeah, he's some one forty six. Verse eight, the Bible said the Lord load the righteous in as a three. Verse ten, he says said to the righteous, it is well with him. See when we emphasize righteousness. There is a reason. It brings you to superior realm of existence. Everything the devil wants you to cut corner to her is a grave in disguise. Have a consciousness of your righteous nature and leave it out in practicality. See how God will bless you. You will become that man that the Bible spoke of in First Corrections. Tonight eyes have not seen, Yes, I've not heard. Indeed has occur to the hearts of men the things God has his talk for them. Love sat down for a moment. Righteousness is a ram. If you enter there, it shoes glory to God. This is why you must insist to understand your righteous nature, and you must insist to leave it out. He has very, very significant implications. See, I hear a lot of stories, but I've come to a point in my life. We have to myself. Let God be true and let every man be a liar. He says Sachier out. Of the Book of the Law and read as at Arty four, verse sixteen. He said, none of these things are failed. He said, the mouth of the Lord have spoken it. He speeded, God ad it these things we are talking about, they are more potent than the foundations of the world. He said, Heaven and earth we pass away, not one job or tit of my world. With faith, Peter said, we were on the mountain of transfiguration. We have seen the highest form of encounters. He said, but knowing these firsts, no prophecy of the scriptures, of any private interpretation. It's a holy man of God's bake. As they were moved, even Jesus the world of life. When the encounters Saturn, he said, it is ritchy. It is written, it is written. These are the pillars of true reality. Follow me tonight. What is righteousness? Time to define it before we well show you how to leave it out glory to God. Righteousness is the nature of God that was gifted to you on account of your faith, resulting in a sovereign. Declaration of God that you stand right with him. Righteousness is the nature of God. That was gifted to you upon your faith in Christ Jesus that resulted in a sovereign declaration of God that you stand right with him or that you are accepted in Him. And so when we are dealing with this subject, we look at it as a nature. We look at it as a gift, and we look at it as a declaration of sovereignty. That's why you bring justification. So it is nature, gift and justification. Let me give you scriptures Second Corinthians five, verse twenty one. Except for He had made him to be seen for us who knew no seen, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. So you see that we're not just given righteousness. We were made the righteousness of God. This is why the scriptures before this verse seventeen said, whoever is in. Christ Jesus is a new creature. All things have passed away. So it's a remaking process that took place when righteousness was credited into your spirit. Officials two said we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus. So the raw material for making your spirit man created in Christ Jesus onto good works. Efficients four, verse twenty four. From verse twenty three, now the Bible said to put on the new man, And who is the new man? He said who after God, is created in righteousness and true holiness. He said that you put on the new Man, which after God is created in righteousness. So you were It's a creation, it's a nature substitution. Because when we first hell, we didn't just commit error. Our nature was affected. In John eight forty four, Jesus said, you are off off, not from you are off your father, the devil. Heck you came. You are made of your father, the devil, the lost of your father. So there was a denaturation that took place when we failed. So it was not enough for God to just show up and say you are righteous. He had to do to the nature first. So the old man was crucified, a new man was created, and that new man, the Bible caused him in Second Corrential five seventeen, a new creature. This is why the Bible said you are of God, little children, didn't just say you are from God. First John four, verse four. You are of God, little children. So you carry God's dna. Now that dna of God is righteousness. Now listen, when you defer righteousness from God's rem it is a nature that God has that makes God to all. Louis be right pastor Chris, cause it God's distinction in glory, that God cannot err, that God cannot lie. That's that nature is what we call righteousness. That was the nature that was credited into your spirit. So when God sees you, now he sees you like his own replica, because this righteousness is the nature of Christ that was put on you. That's why in First Curential sixteth he said whoever is joined to the Lord, and said he is one spirit with him. So righteousness is divine nature imputed into human vessel. Your spirit is principally exactly like God. Now, there was nothing you would have done to end because if even if you killed yourself it should have been mother it s wouldn't have a tone for your sins. And so because you couldn't eny it, God had to gift you. This is why we say is the nature of God that was gifted us. Romance five seventeen. It said, their wait to receive abondance of grace. It took a bondance of grace for righteous Let's be procured their way to receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness. Of the gift, I'm gonna come back to reign in life. That's the byproduct. That's what I want to talk about tonight, the way of the righteous. But I need to establish the meaning so that you know I know it, because if you are righteous, you will reign. The problem we have today is that people know that they have the nature, but they are living in sin and they say they're righteous. So it's a corresponding reaction. It said, if you receive that gift, you should reign in life. So you rein over sickness, you rein over sea, you rein over death. You can't say you have this nature and you are not ready. It means there's something that has not been captured properly. But follow me. It's a natural that was gifted. And when God now gifted you this nature, God had to make a royal decree because the realm of the spirit is legalistic. It's not enough for a song to just show up. And they put him in the family. Then we asked who is he? You know people who do strange things. You've just seen. Somebody come and join the family. You think his husbod after Why he's bearing the swordame you think the man is generous? Why you now dig deep they say he traveled to Congo, so something is apple. God doesn't opreap like that when you were begotting of God. God had to make a royal declaration because he needed to announce in the spirit them that another prince has been born. The family has grown in number, so that when demons see you, they will mistake you. So there was a. Declaration made following the price Jesus paid that resulted in the imputation of nature as a gift, God had to make a declaration. He didn't want you to go Star's struggling to tell demons. I'm the child of God. You don't need to go start telling demos I'm also part of God's family. God made that declaration on your behalf. It's just like they bring a boy into the family and they are mistaken for usboy, and the head of the home said, listen, this is not a bastard. This is my song. He came from my lawyers or on him. He's an heir parent. From that day your status. I'm trying you can have your father's DNA. If you are not called his song, they will suffer like a sleeve. So what God did was that he made the declaration. And in Romans four twenty five, the Bible said, Jesus was delivered for our offense. And when he was delivered for our friends, he said, he was raised from the dead for our justification. So when Jesus paid the price, there was a necessity for a new proclamation to be made that this guy that was declared sinner, this guy that was declared for him, has now been declared justified. That means he's no longer guilty. Every offense have been paid for, and he has been acquitted for everything he should have suffered on account of the old identity he carries, so that when he shows up, there will be no ma. When he shows up, there will be no reproach, there will be no working off tongue. Everything was clad, and they gave him more than enough. And so in Chapter five, verse one, the Bible said God declared us justified, therefore being justified. By faith, he said, we now have peace with God. So we came into God's family as bonified children. That God is not ashamed of that he announced publicly. Listen, sir, every demo knows that you have a righteous DNA. Every engine knows that you have a righteous DNA. You are the only person who don't know. Most times, the only ignorant person in the spirit trem is the man. Meanwhile, all the benefits are for him. What is the one who doesn't know? So you have a nature that was gifted you, and a proclamation corresponding was made to that effect. This is what righteousness is. Now, because righteousness is this reality that nature now compels you to live in a particular way. If truly you receive the nature, they prove we show in how you live. I'm not like this because I love how to dress well. I'm like this because the nature insisted. I was preaching in Manchester two days ago and I told them, I said, when this conference was announced, it was open to every creature. The publicity was not done in private. They didn't co ommitted for men and said there's a conference. They made the publicity public or the donkeys saw it, or the dogs saw it. At the end of the only men came. Why because their nature does not support that level of intelligence. So men came because they have been upgraded to a class where cognitive language is possible. So when God gave us this nature, there are certain possibilities that were introduced into us those possibilities. Now in the realm of men, it's what we show that we have received the nature. And so when you go to first John, Chapter three, Verse seven, and vest nine and ten. The elder was now teaching you. Know these guys who are master builders, they will show you the architecture of reality. They know the structure. It's lit to children because they're mature. No, anybody you say telling you I can't fly it. My spirit is righteous, my body is not affected. Say lead to children. That's it designation. If it's mature, you will know. Anybody who tells you I fully and it's okay, call him. Lie to children. It's a little children. Let no man deceive you. That means if you think like that, you are deceived. It said him that do it. Righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous. That means because you are righteous, God expects you to do righteousness the way he's righteous, and he's doing righteousness. You can't claim you're righteous and you're not doing righteousness. This is why most of you, the blessings are quoted and you were shouting. You are not seeing some of them, and you are wandering. The reason is because you have not proven that you know you are righteous the moment you know the reality we flow naturally, so if you are not. Living it, it means you don't know it. Now. In spiritual things, you need to understand that knowledge is in cads. I've taught you here before that there are six levels of knowledge. There is noses, which is cognitive interactional ability to assess fact. Then there is idol, which is becoming aware. You can have a gone, but look for it a com bus in your hand. You are looking for it. You have it as a fact, but you are not aware that you have it. How many of you have been there before, so you have no sis, but you have no idol. That's why preat time, God wants to move us into re knowledge. It brings idle. He said. Whoever is in Christ Jesus second Cornians five seventeen and eighteen, is a new creature. He said. All things are passed away. There's no argument, he said, but behold. The word behold is the word I don't. It means become aware, because if you are not aware, you will not know that old things are passed away. And if you don't know, you will suffer like an old creature. In one John five, that's thirteen from that's eleven. He said, this is the record God has given us eternal life. He said, dislike is in his soul. He said, whoever has the son has lie. These are the facts of the spiritary. He said, I have written these things to you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may become aware that you have eternal life, so you can have it and not be aware. So in English we use no, no, no, But in reality there are different things. One has fact but is not aware. And then when you become aware, you are you are expected to interact with what you now have until it becomes your reality. That's where epignosis comes in. And then from a pignosis you have gnosco. Gnosco means you are not just interacting, but you are not producing offspring. So it's an interaction that has results because that you have intimacy does not need mean a child. We always come out. There are certain intimacies that produce to dren and if you do this. Thing after a while, then you enter what is called doki masu. So when you see men, there are different levels. There's a man who is single, he knows women differently. There's a man who is married, he knows at another level. There's another one who is married who has a child, he knows at another level. And there's one who has five children. So you are dealing with an idol epignosis gnosco and doki maso the guy who has five children. If it tells you I know women, wait, don't argue because you know who just got married. You are still on chapter one, volume one. Because a woman who just got married is different from the one who is pregnant. And the one who is pregnant is different from the one who has one child. Now, when a woman has four children, why you speak to her, speak with wisdom, because now she knows that she owns the house. She owns the house. I'm how careful, my brother, you have a challenge. So when the man who has for children tell you I know women, to tell you, please advise me. Are you getting the part? We share this story so that it will bring it home, so you get it. But the point I'm making is the. Bible is telling us that if we know we are right, we must leave it out and say if we are not living it out, then we are little children. It means that knowledge has not been proven. So he said, my little children, let no man deceive you him that do it. Righteousness is righteous, even as he is talking about God, now is righteous. In Vese ten, he say, hearing, are the children of God separated from the children of the devil. So we know the children of God from the children of the devil, not just by the nature they have, but by the nature they express. If I come here and I start say whoa, whoa, whoa, you say, hey, in sequel, what's disease? Is this? Because only dogs black men talk. So the way I prove my nature is by talking. And so the expression of righteousness is what. We call the ways of the righteous. And there are many ways catalogued in scripture for a man who claims his If you say you are righteous, there are ways you are supposed to function Psalms one. That's six, The ways of the righteous, except for the Lord know it. The way of the righteous, except but the way of the young Godly's already concluded. He shall perish. The way of the righteous. There are eight of them. Ah, our time is finished. Let's stop here. Shore uhhh, my. Be Lom, that is dom most. Beautiful almost stars and. A thousands, my. Love that is the most beautiful. Armum stars and a thousan. Issue us. Sit down for the moment. Let's stay fifteen minutes. Let me just list, he says. Say it's a discipleship class, so that I don't leave you way half knowledge. You need to know these things. See knowledge, you say, heavy matter. In the kingdom, you know where we teach and explain these things with stories. Some people think we just want to tell stories. No, it's a body to make you know it. It's a body. So let's see if we know it by the ways. You know, when a woman tells you I know a man, that's another language. You can come and say what I know a man too. I have three best friends. They are all men. You don't know anyone. Wait, ontie, one loves you. It will train drastically. If it says hello, hello, we enter into your heart. He will know the them to talk it from you way asleep and be hearing hello, hello, Hello Lord. That's not your friend. That one has moved. He's looking for your heart. Now when it marries you and you have come to the house. Mh. Those morning text messages will stop. If it costs you, you will pray together. If you give back to three children, you will no longer be honey. If I'm not, if God doesn't help him, where you'll become Mama John. They are called levels of knowledge levels levels. So when that woman who is called Mama John's say I know him man, it's different from that lady that they still saying, Hi, did you sleep well? You are being introduced into man one oh one. That's what happens to a lot of people in righteousness. Let's just come, I have the nature of righteousness. I'm righteous, and they are struggling with immorality. They come to the office, they say, will are two hundred thousand, They change signature, and you say you know righteousness? They say him that do it? Righteousness is righteous even as he is. He said, don't deposit, don't deploy your members as instruments of a righteousness. He said, God has called us to live holy. There isn't that nature was given to you as a gift. And God went as. Far as making a declaration in the spirit rend that you are now justified. It is because he expects that when you now leave, men will see God in you. So he's victualingly that You are now the carrier of God to your generation. So when man wants to know God, they should see you. He's publishing you as his vessual, the manifest dimension of God, of God dimensions. That's what God is trying to say. When God says you are justified, he's not just saying you won't be judged. He's also saying that now I have put something inside you that anybody who wants to see go you see you, they will know God. So follow me as I follow Christ. John say as he is. So are we in this world. So you are not just declared just because you're exonerated from judgment. You were declared just because God announced to you. When Setain went to trouble to brag before God, I've moved to and fro the head, there's no man, God say have you seen myself? And joke. So God advertises his men. This is why when Jesus was going to heaven, he said, you shall receive the Holy goost and power, and you shall be witnesses unto me. You shall be the proofs, the verdidations of everything I claim in the world. And then you find people who are not living out the God life and they think righteousness is just to say they have a nature. I don't argue that it's a nature that was. Gifted you, and that he followed with a royal proclamation called justification. But if you know you have that nature, it was so in the way you live your life. It's cat the way of the righteous, and the Bible said the Lord. Nowhere the ways of the righteous, they say, but the way of the godly shall perish hearing are the children of God distinguistion the children of the devil that we do righteousness. I give you a few of them quickly. Number one. A righteous man leaves a holy life burn through renewer of the mind. A righteous man lives a holy life that is derived from renewer of the mind. This is not rules and regulation he is following. This is him transforming into the version of the god kind. If you try to follow rules, you can't, But if you are transfigured, you can be gone. So the job of a righteous man is to follow the journey of transformation and transfiguration. Paul was speaking a romance from verse one. He said, Therefore, brethren, I beseech you that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice. This is what right just men do? Holy and acceptable one too? God, he said, for this is your reasonable service. But how do you present your bodies? Holy? It said, be not conformed to this world. So holiness is the destination. But the path to holiness is the renewer of the mind. The reason you are living insane is because of the consciousness you have built on account of the information you were fed with. This is why I said. There that are kanna is that they mind the things of the flesh. So the reason you become kanna is because of what you act. That's what you became. So a righteous man part time his life to only injest. Things that transforms him. And when it's transformed, you will see the result through holy living. In efficients fourth seventeen to twenty four, see the narrative poor Painter. You know, Poor was a lawyer, so he had specific skill to bring men into reality. He said this, I said, therefore, and I testify in the Lord that year. Henceforth, walk not as the gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind. Eighteen having their understanding. So the reason they live sinful is an understanding thing consciousness has been duking having their understanding darking I am been earlienated from the life of God through ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their heart. Go to the next verse. He said, who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lasceviousness to work all on cleanliness with greediness. Verse twenty it said, what you have not so learned Christ. So the journey of holiness is to begin by learning Christ. It brings a consciousness that empowers for holiness. That's twenty one. He said, if so be that you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus. Verse twenty two. He said that you put off so the truth in Jesus has the capacity to make you shed off the old man, the same way a snake puts off the old gament. Like this is remove the old and a new form is produced. He said that you put off the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to deceitful lost. So loss came from ignorance and vanity of the mind. If you replace ignorance and vanity of the mind with the truth that is in Christ, he said, you would take off loss, and you will put the new man and in order for you not to be in doubt as to what the new Man is. He went further, he said, be renewed in the spirit of your mind. And best four, he said, and that you put on the new Man. So as we are renewed that new consciousness, we claude you with the new Man. And he said, this new man is after God, created in righteousness and true holiness. So if you find a man whose life is like. A gutter where anything enters, he doesn't know the way of the righteous job says, I have a covenant with my eyes. I will not look upon the vegi. Righteous men are men who sends, so they get ways to their souls. When you find the righteous man, he's not everywhere. He's not attending to everything. He knows that what enterssin is what makesing. So he's conscious to vet what penetrates the gates of his soul. The eye is locked, the ears are locked, the skin is locked, so that nothing careless can enter. Heits his diet because he understands that becoming a righteous man in pragmatic sense. Is the function of what it consumes. So the way of the righteous man is the way of transformation, is the way of holiness is the way of the renewer of the mind. Christians don't know. We are quoting things that we don't experience, and so we are jumping up under were arguing doctrine funny. Can't us are arguing about righteousness? Liars are arguing about righteousness. What we should be talking about is what do you eat? What is your diet? What is the level of transfiguration? Because in Christ the veil was removed so that we can eat. It said, when we turn to him, the veil was taken. The Bible caused it the administration of life, it got the law, the administration of death. Except but when we turn to Christ, the veil was removed. So everybody now can be holy, because that with blocks has been taken away. And that's why he said we all with open faces. So the gospel came to remove the veil. Now that your face, as we remove, it's not enough to stop. We all with open faces beholding us in the glass. It said, the glory of the Lord, we are transfigured. We are transfigured. There are vesterals of you that has not yet manifested. Some of us have the natural it's in our spirit. But we are still clothed with iniquity. The way of the righteous. That's why the elder sound. I choose the way of the Lord. I choose the way of the happening. Quire, please. Choose, p. Please, that's the way of. Righteousness, the way of wisdom. Choose only what God has chosen for you. He said, think on certain things. Only that which is pure, that which has fetch you, that which is holy, anything that is consistent. That's what you think. It's God wisdom. Jesus was teaching. He's said, a fool pills his house on sand. It's about a wise man pills his house upon the rock. What is the rock is the revelation of the Christ. That's a wise man. He's there, a fool says in his head there's no God. That's why he remains canna on. He knows his philosophy, his physics. It is chemistry. And they're teaching him philosophy and smuggling seduction and he doesn't look. And when you ask him, he's bracket. I have four degrees. These degrees. I've not brought Christ like this. I'm not against education. I school a little, but I'm telling you, if you don't end up learning nothing he said, we have not received the spirit that is of this world. We have received the spirit that is of God, that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God. He said, which things we speak not with words that human wisdom teaches, but with words that the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost must teach you. He said, we compare spirituar things with spiritue. He said, for the natural man received not the things of the spirits of God, neither can he know them. They are spiritually designed. When you bring the oracles of God the ordinances of God, people make a mess of it, and Christians are there laughing. Meanwhile, certain knows that if he pulls. Down the ordinances of God, and I thought, trust generation will be born. Have you not seen the move against chrusts in our generation? They want to or bled threat church or bled threads ministers of God who teach. The truth and the things. Society will be better when there's no church, when there are no ministers. So every minister certainly is evil, so. That a generation we rise that we assume is foolishness to listen to a pastor, but it's an intelligence in the demonic ray. There's no where you go to that they teach Christ. Only Church teach Christ. They are those you haven't advocating now that you shouldn't go to church. Mean why the Bible said in Hebrews ten twenty four and twenty five, he said, don't be like those people who take for granted the garden of the saints. Long for a second. We know that our wrong people. What I tell you, if you like fight it, Jesus said, the gates of hesh. Are not prevailed against it. The only institution that we make it to eternity is the Church. No one will cross to eternity. Only the Church. We cross over to eternity. And the reason is because our syllables are different. We preach Christ and imprucified. They said, when I came on to you, I did not declare on to you the councepts of God with excellency of speech. I didn't come to show you oratory. I came with the demonstration of spirit of power. That you may you may be built. Your faith may be built not on the philosophy of man, but on the wisdom of Christ. A righteous generation cannot imagine until Christ is preached again, Until the world of God is preached without human sentiment without diluting with human ambition. The purity of the of the crystals is reviewed. He's the all foolish galicious words reached him. He said, I paint tapt Christ to you, evidently crucified. Why do you think we struggle? We struggle because Christ does not be reviewed. The world has not been taught. Your will can help you. Only the truth of Christ will help you. They say you have not so laned Christ. He say, if you have lanting and you have been taught of the truth is say, your mind will be renewed. And if your mind is removed, you will remove the old man, and you'll be clothed with the new man. Who have to Goed is greater than what righteousness and true holiness. Please hear me. Do your business, study any course you want to study, irrelevant in this run. Fight for anything. God moves you to do politics business. But if anything takes the place of Christ in you, you are finished. You are finished. I wish above all things that down mayors prospered. I'm being held even as your soul prosperous. The soul is the benchmark. How much of God do you know? That's why you struggle with masturbation. That's why you struggle with for location. That's why you struggle with life. When Christ is revealed, everything we give away. Like packs of cold. Ah love. Will we stop here, Let's go time. Time is the body. Let me list the rest, go una study it. It will help you. Let me list it, go un study it. Where people of the world. The second way of the righteous is the way of faith. The righteous trust in God. You may have a thousand and one certificates, you may have a million connections, but the day of confidence moves to those things you will fall off. Insm. Sixty four vers. Ten, he said, the righteous place their trust fully in the Lord, knowing he's their refuge and their strength. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord and shall trust in him, and all they all right in heart shall glory. They know He's their refuge. So the righteous trust in the Lord h he said. In Proverbs, for in Tarty two, the wicked is driven away in his wickedness. He said, but the righteous had hope even in debt. They trust God even in debt. That's why say, only in this life we have hope. We are from men most miserable. So the righteous trust God even in death number three, way of the righteous. He delights in the law of the Lord. If you struggle with God's word, you are not You don't want to live the righteous life. Some one from verse one to three. Blessed is the man that worke has not in the counsel of the counsel of the ung godly turn death in the way of sinners. No is sit dead in the seat of this conful. That's the righteous man. He said, what is delight? It's on the law of the Lord. And he said on this Lord that he met deitate day and night. He is like the three planted by the rivers of living waters. He produces his fruit. And the reason we live right choices because we're delighting the law of the Lord. The loss of the Lord. We become the meditations of your heart. He say, attend to my words. He said, let them not depart from thy eyes. Put them in the midst of the heart. He said, they are life to them that finds it, and help toward their flesh. Guard your heart with all diligence. Out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs four twenty to twenty three. David was speaking in some one one night VERSN and E level. How should a young man keep his ways? He said, by taking heed onto thy world? He said, thy world, have I put in my heart that I will not sin against you. If you don't delight in the word of God, you are not a righteous man. You can't live righteous even if you have that nature. With substitute church, with drama dancing, they will invite you to preach, and they will sing. For three hours and tell you to please share. For fifteen minutes. I don't go for sort meeting if you want to sing. One thing I have not in against worshiping God, but faith come back by hearing, hearing by the word of God. I commend you to God and to the world of his grace, which is able to keep you and give you an inheritance. Amongst them that are sertify, we look for things that our emotions aligned with easily. I know songs and drama have messages, but the Word of God must have this place, they say, until I come. Give attendance to reading. He told us how to interact with it, to exhortation and to doctrine. You read it, you are exhorted, and you studied to understand it in context. The righteous delight in the law of the Lord. Number four. The righteous is a practitioner of justice and fairness. Probably one fifteen. It is joy to the just to do judgment. It is joy to the just. So the guys excited every where you speak about equity and justice. Is the joy of his heart. If you are that person who is excited when people are marginalized, you don't know what righteousness is. I remember some one VERSI that the eyes of the Lord is on the way of the riters. To they give people power, you understand their true nature because we don't. We don't we and not. People that embrace justice and fairness and the little opportunity we have. We imagine some marginalize their whole nation wickedness in the heart. It said, the way of your godly shall perish. That's why most of them they perish after they come out from that Senate office. The perish after they come out from that governorship seat. They perish the moment they become bishops, because when you use power to marginalize people, you have determined your part. They perish the moment they become prejudices of. Those departments, because their job is to disflower young girls, collect bribe and give people answer question papers before example, no justice, no equity, no fairness, a perverse generation. Look at what the Bible said programs to the ninevers two. They said, when the right choice is in power. In authority, he said, the people rejoice. By in our generation. When you hear people shout in check they are Christian names. I don't want to call anyone so that he can align with somebody's name coincidental. And I'm not the type that cour people out. Why speak the truth the way it is. People should celebrate if they hear that the Christian righteous Man. Has come into power. If you just hear that the righteous Man is king, you should go and give thanksgiving. Oh, our nation is free at last. But not the type of people that are raised from to this church. The way of the righteous, he said, the eyes of the Lord and the ways of the righteous. In the ways of the righteous, he said, about the own godly share perish. This is why most people perish, as if they don't know God. Number five, The righteous walks in integrity some fifteen verse one to two. Lord Husha abide in that tabaccacle, who shall dwell in that holy Here he the work cat up rightly and work at righteousness, and speak at the truth in his heart. He the work cat up rightly, the work cat righteousness, the speaket the truth. That's the way of the righteous. We are we are unapologetic, fort to stand for the truth. If you like. And the friendship there's no bag. If he has to do with truth, we are unapologetic. There's no diplomacy about it. This is what God expects of us. We can't change this world when we function like amelions. I know your desserment may be growing. You met dam you celebrated them. You didn't know them, but they dare you know them. That's something the show because light has no communion with darkness. Number five. The way of the righteous number six right. The righteous exudes compassion and generosity. Thirty seventh, verse twenty one. He said, the wicked borrow it and pay not again, he said, But the righteous show it message. Somebody comes to you. You know that's your last cash, He said, Please give me next tomorrows they have they've sent money. It's just bank and bank is there tomorrow? We bringing is a lie? Nobody sent any money. You are telling him, this is my son's goofies. This is all we have, he said. He lied, oh I don't have. This is Matthew, this is Michael, this is Peter. It's a lie. The moment to give him that money as he's talking to him, those money is coming from nowhere and he doesn't care. Where are your rocks? And most times they use the money for pleasure. When you come back later, I say, kay, I don't know they this at this country. This country. Something just came up. But mh. Somebody told me a story. Think it was Sony. A man came out in the money. I was wrecky with this neighbor. This country. I don't know what is wrong with the people in Bagiu. Just this money. Somebody came to buy something with fake two hundred and mira. After I finished Reky, the neighbors said where is the money? He said, I spent it recked as if he's a good man. Meanwhile they are someone where's the money I spent it? M No sympathy, a compassion. I've told you times and times again. You are the one driving a range Rover. You go to a feeling station. You see a young girl that should be your daughter, selling through it. She's so tired as spinal cord is about to break. You insist until you collect the fifteen hour change. The woman is selling what maids on the road in the afternoon, sweating with a baby on the back. You come, ah, this maid you know rost and well, bring a mate. We see you bite one. Say no, no, no, guy, this is your maid's too soft. Give me another one. Your waste three maids and pay for one. And when you come to church you say hello, cover all apart. You are a clown, so much to spare for no compassion. It looks funny, but this is why we can't bring cord on the sea. You don't have compassion for that kind of persson. Are you the one God we give authority to rule in national The money that is meant even for pension, you will carried to Dubai, our old man. We come from that with it that we fend and die. It will mean nothing to you. They are not right transfers anymore. That's the challenge with her. Even in church is the same thing. If we say those of you who can't pay scoofies stand up, you'll be amazed that some have been serving in a particular church. No body has ever asked, how's your schoofees? Meanwhile, some of the seeds that are given like tides, is meant for widows, offers and strangers. How many churches today take census and say today we want to have widows tomorrow offers. That's why when we are fighting the battle of titles v is laughable. I'm not saying there are many who don't, but I'm say many and not even aware. If I tell you how many. Young people are here that needs cool fees every four months, you'll be shocked. Sometimes you give and give and give, you even forget. They come back, can tell you it's another semeister Ah, Who are you? They said, you give me the last semister you. They are everywhere. Compassion, the Bible said in Proverbs twenty one twenty six, he said they righteous give it generously and spare it. Not, that's a righteous man. Doc quote the scripture from Proverbs eleven twenty four and twenty five. He said, that is here that we hold that more than is needful and turns to penury. He said, but the libras soul shall be made for it him that wa turret shad by himself the water. Don't that is a righteous man. Number seven. A righteous man speaks wholesome words. You don't find faulty words in his conversation, not even when he's joking. Jesus said, no idea wands you proceed for your mouth. You'll be asked for it. Because when we talk, we are people of authority. We contribute either positively or negatively to creation. This is why a righteous man must be deliberate about how he speaks. Proverabs ten versine level. The Bible said, the amount of the righteous is a well of life, except for the violence. Cover it the mouth of the weak. But violence covert the mouth of the wicked. So the weakeed speaks. Violence, he said, But the righteous his mouth is a well of life. In Proverbs fifteen twenty eight, he said, the heart of the righteous, study it to answer, except about the amount of the weaked. Pour it out, evil. Don't be the those people. Oh a slang starts, you are telling it. They pick it from the gutter. You are talking it. It's worldly musicians that receive inspiration from demons, that put wars in your mouth. Meanwhile, that I'm million and one versus of scriptures, you will never could. Words come out of bib Niger. Everybody is using it. Meanwhile, the are this this, These are fortresses of demons to bring dark ideologists to mentory, generation to destruction. And you, who should be a light in darkness, those are the words that are pit to. If you love negative trends, failty wars, something's wrong with your soul. A righteous man hates it, he said, because thou love that righteousness, I hate that iniquity, Thy God, that's an annointed d with the oil of gladness. How can the righteous man enjoy things that have no bearing with. Christ or the world. And they say, no, it's just a joke. Who told you there's a joke in this military number eight. A righteous man bears fruits continually. In Philippius one eleven, it's been filled with the fruits of righteousness. James three eighteen. He said, the fruit of the right, the fruit of righteousness, is sown in peace to them that make peace. When we talk about the fruit of righteousness, we are talking about walks, walks of righteousness, as that that the two seventeen and the walk of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect shall be quietness and assurance forever. And finally, the righteous is a sick of wisdom. Because he knows it's the answer that his generation is looking for. The Bible said in Proverbs two, verse six to seven, say for the Lord, give that wisdom out of the mouth of God, not let and understanding, and he let up sound wisdom for the righteous. So God has laid sound wisdom. Your job is to such it. That's why he said, kings such those things out. We're sick wisdom. James one versive say, if you lack wisdom, ask of him that give it me. Brandy and the Greater know. A righteous man knows foolishness is too expensive. He can't afford it. So his life is seeking and suching wisdom. Christ has been. Made wisdom to him. He draws from it. That's his preoccupation. And if I may add thanksgiving. Some one fortiven starting surely the righteous your gift tms on to thy name. They upright shall dwell in Thy presence. Some three one rejoice in the Lord, Oh yeah righteous. He said, for praise. It's commonly for ther right. Rejoice in the Lord. Oh you're righteous, no matter. What comes away with gift times, because thanksgiving is a strategy of deliverance for us. The Bible said point Silas were beaten and thrown into prison Act sixteen twenty five. He said, at midnight they prayed and sank praises. The prisoners had them. That was not a please and place, But it is the disposition of the righteous. The river flows out of you. You can't keep it even when things go wrong. Thank you Father. Before you say Lord, what do we do? Thank you Lord, he said, river. That's what righteousness does to you. It's got the way of the righteous now here this is you have the nature of righteousness. There's no argument about it. It's a gift. You didn't want war for it. There's no argument about it. God proclaimed it in the spirit run. It's God justification. There's no argument about it. But if those things are true in your life, they must be reflected, because every nature must be lived out, even in the lowest level of existence. I'm more a buss exhibit their nature, the lowest level of life in Spiders exhibit their nature. Scopy once exhibit their nature. Touch the day you're in, not the nature, okay, Donkeys exhibit their nature. Monkeys exhibit their nature. You can't be righteous and not exhibit your nature.
