“Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.” 1 Corinthians 15:34 KJV
Many years ago, when I was at the university, I was part of the student leadership in the Christian Union. when the teaching of righteousness came strong to this country, I resisted it, fought it so hard and preached against it. I used to pray and fast to stop certain habits like lust but it could not, sometimes after finishing a long prayer fast, that’s when the lust came in even stronger. I was very frustrated and I struggled living for God.
One day, I decided to talk to the Lord concerning this message because when I listened to my spiritual father, the man of God Pr. Chris, he explained righteousness in a way that was different, it came with great clarity and much understanding. I asked the Lord Holy Spirit to teach and reveal this truth to me, I was amazed at how He helped me.
When I was fighting the message, I was fully righteous as Jesus is but I was asleep or in a state of drunkenness to this righteousness nature. “1 Corinthians 15:34 AMPC says Awake [from your drunken stupor and return] to sober sense and your right minds, and sin no more. …….. The reason I was sinning and struggling with sin is because I wasn’t alive to righteousness, once I woke up to my righteous nature, the lust and every ungodly habit stopped. Glory to God, I became aware that I don’t need to do anything to please God because God was already pleased with what Jesus Christ did for me.
You may be in the same state of spiritual confusion. Check your understanding of righteousness and that’s why I am writing this message by the Spirit to help you. Submit to God’s way of making men right with Him, and you will be totally free from any ungodly habits. Blessed be God
CONFESSION
I walk in sobriety of spirit, clarity of mind, and freedom from sin. Ungodly habits, lust, fear, and shame have no power over me, for I am awake to the reality of righteousness. I live in the consciousness of my righteous nature, and my life reflects God’s holiness, power, and love.
