THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21).

In Romans 5:1, we read something absolutely profound that also parallels what we read in our theme scripture. It says, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Being justified by faith means we’ve been declared righteous by faith. Therefore, you must affirm and live in the consciousness of that righteousness.

Every so often, declare, “In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I am righteous with the righteousness of Christ.” If you don’t do that, you may struggle endlessly, trying to attain by works what God already gave you as a gift. Many live this way without realizing it. On days when they think they’ve behaved well or done nothing wrong, they feel more confident that God will hear their prayers.

But that’s a dangerous mindset because it means basing your confidence or approval with God on personal performance rather than on the finished redemptive work of Christ. God never asked you to establish your own righteousness. The Bible says Jesus was made sin for us so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

Some even think humility means constantly denouncing themselves before God, making statements such as, “Lord, I’m nothing; we’re all so unworthy and unrighteous before you.” But that’s not what God wants. He doesn’t delight in your self-denunciation, self-condemnation or self-recrimination. One was already condemned and crucified for you, and His Name is Jesus; He took your place.

Acts 13:38-39 (NKJV) tells us, “Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.” What God wants is for you to believe in and live according to what Christ accomplished in your behalf. The Apostle Paul says, “...if one died for all, then were all dead” (2 Corinthians 5:14). He died that you might live.

Now, you live for Him, in glory and in righteousness, effortlessly pleasing Him. This is the Christian life: it’s not about struggling to impress God through human effort; it’s about responding to His love by walking in His Word. The more you affirm who you are in Christ, the more that reality dominates your life. Therefore, think and speak righteousness. Live in the consciousness of your justification and right-standing with God.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for making me the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I live in the consciousness of my right-standing with you and walk in the light of your Word today. My life is a manifestation of your grace, love, and righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Romans 5:17 KJV
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Philippians 3:7-9 KJV
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. [8] Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, [9] And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Romans 3:21-22 KJV
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; [22] Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Romans 10:1-4 KJV
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. [2] For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. [3] For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. [4] For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

FRIDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER 2026

PASTOR CHRIS

MAINTAIN SPIRITUAL FOCUS

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee (Isaiah 26:3).

Focus is the concentration of attention, energy, and vision on something. When God tells you to focus, He wants you to be undistracted. One of Satan’s strategies against God’s people is distraction. He seeks to shift your attention away from the eternal realities of God’s Kingdom to circumstances, fears, pressures, and the transient things of life. But we’re not ignorant of his devices.

The Psalmist said, “The godless spread lies about me, but I focus my attention on what you’re saying” (Psalm 119:69 MSG). What a mindset! In the midst of opposition, accusations, and distractions, he fixed his attention on the Word. That’s the secret of spiritual stability and progress. When your attention is focused on God’s Word, your spirit remains aligned with truth, victory, and divine direction.

The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 4:18 to look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are unseen. The unseen realm is real, and God’s Word unveils its realities to us. Your physical senses may not perceive them, but your spirit can. Therefore, set your heart and affection on eternal things.

Proverbs 4:25-27 says, “Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee....Turn not to the right hand nor to the left....” In other words, maintain focus. The Apostle Paul exemplified this mindset when he said, “...one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before” (Philippians 3:13). He understood the power of focused vision.

A double-minded man, the Bible says, is unstable in all his ways and unable to receive anything from God (James 1:8). Instability produces weakness and inconsistency, but focus produces strength, clarity and victory. So, live with steadfastness of mind. Run your race with purpose: “So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I fight to win. I’m not just shadow-boxing or playing around” (1 Corinthians 9:26 TLB).

Stay spiritually focused on the Lord, on His Word, and on the eternal crown set before you. As you do, He’ll keep you in perfect peace, strength, unwavering prosperity and victory. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for your Word that guides and establishes my heart in truth. My mind is steadfast and focused on your eternal realities. I refuse distractions, instability and double-mindedness; rather, I walk with clarity, purpose and unwavering confidence, fulfilling your destiny for my life in joy, victory and peace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
Hebrews 12:2 KJV
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Colossians 3:2 KJV
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

James 1:6-8 KJV
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. [7] For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. [8] A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

KEEP LOOKING AT HIM

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image...(2 Corinthians 3:18).

Growth in Christ is relational. The more you know Him, the more you’re like Him, and the more His character, wisdom, glory and nature are expressed through your life. That’s true Christianity; it’s the unveiling of Christ in you. This is why your walk with Christ must remain personal and intimate.

The transformation God desires in your life comes through continual fellowship, beholding Him, as the Bible says: “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Notice the progression: as you look, you’re changed.

The word translated “changed” comes from the Greek “metamorphoō,” from which we derive the word “metamorphosis”; a complete transformation from one state into another. Thus, the more you behold Christ through the Word, the more you become like Him. This is why you must never take your eyes away from the Lord.

The Bible says in Hebrews 12:2, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith….” It brings to mind Peter’s experience when the Lord Jesus asked him to walk up to Him on water. Peter walked on water as long as his focus remained on the Master. But the moment Peter looked away and became conscious of the wind and waves, he began to sink (Matthew 14:29-30).

That’s a lesson for every Christian. As long as you’re focused on the Lord, you’ll walk above the circumstances of life. You’ll walk above fear, sin, limitation, failure and the corrupting influences of this world. Hallelujah! Christianity is a call to walk on water, a call to look away from the natural elements, circumstances, pressures and challenges of this world, unto Christ!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for calling me into fellowship with you and transforming me by your Spirit. As I continually behold your glory through the Word, I’m metamorphosed into the same image, manifesting your excellence, beauty, wisdom and glory. I walk above the circumstances of life and glorify you continually, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
2 Corinthians 3:18 NIV
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

Hebrews 12:2 TPT
We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!

James 1:23-25 KJV
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: [24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. [25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

PASTOR CHRIS

LOVE THE CHURCH FROM YOUR HEART

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood (Acts 20:28).

The Church of Jesus Christ is the most powerful organism in the world. We’re far more than an organization; we’re an organism. The Church is a living thing, the living body of Christ in the earth. This is why your attitude towards the Church matters a great deal. You must consciously love the Church of God from the depths of your heart.

The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, describes the Church as that which God “purchased with his own blood.” The Lord Jesus paid an extraordinary price for the Church, the price of His blood, His very life. Therefore, to love Christ is to love His Church.

This love must go beyond the walls of your local assembly or denomination. Sometimes, people become so conscious of denominational differences; names, structures, or traditions that they forget the greater truth: we’re all one body in Christ. The local assembly down your street, though different from yours in style or administration, is still made up of God’s people. Love them. Appreciate them. Pray for them. Honour the work God is doing through them.

The Bible says in Ephesians 4:4, “There is one body, and one Spirit….” We aren’t rivals competing against one another; we’re one body, one family, brothers and sisters in Christ. When this understanding fills your heart, it’ll rid it of jealousy, strife and division to see and relate with fellow Christians with greater love, honour and sincerity because you recognize that the same life of Christ flows through all of us. What a blessing to belong to the family of God; it’s the greatest family in the world. Praise God!

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for making me a member of the body of Christ. I walk in love for the Church and for every member of the family of God. I honour and appreciate your work and your grace in the lives of fellow Christians around the world, and I declare that they’re strong in faith, giving glory to you always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
1 Corinthians 12:12-13 KJV
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. [13] For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Psalm 133:1 KJV
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Ephesians 4:1-5 KJV
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, [2] With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; [3] Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. [4] There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; [5] One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

THERE’S A PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE

For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep… (Acts 13:36).

In the Kingdom of God, everything rides on purpose. God works on purpose. Nothing about your life is accidental or meaningless. You weren’t born merely because your father and mother came together and decided to have children. There’s a divine purpose for your life. There’s a reason God brought you into this world at such a time as this.

The most important thing in life is to discover your purpose and fulfil it. A whole lot of people go through life without ever finding out why they were born. They drift through life, distracted by endless pursuits, troubled by many things, frustrated by circumstances, unfulfilled and dissatisfied.

But when you know your purpose, your life changes; you become focused. Your decisions become clearer. Your priorities align with God’s direction for your life. You’re no longer tossed about by distractions because your heart is set on fulfilling the purpose for which God raised you.

The Lord Jesus lived this way. He knew exactly why He came. He said, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day…” (John 9:4). He stayed on course. He wasn’t distracted by opposition, applause, or human expectations. And at the end, He could boldly declare, “...It is finished...” (John 19:30). He had accomplished the purpose for which the Father sent Him.

The Apostle Paul had the same consciousness. Towards the end of his earthly ministry, he said, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7). What a testimony! He knew when he was done because he had lived with purpose and stayed faithful to the divine assignment God gave him. You must live with that same consciousness. Stay on course until you fulfil your divine assignment.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I rejoice at your purpose and calling upon my life. I walk in wisdom and spiritual understanding, fulfilling the destiny you’ve ordained for me. I refuse distractions and remain focused on accomplishing your will with excellence, courage and faithfulness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
Ecclesiastes 3:1
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
‭

Philippians 3:13-14
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

UNVEILING OF A DIVINE UNION

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit (1 Corinthians 6:17).

The moment you were born again, you were brought into an inseparable union with the Lord. The Bible doesn’t say you received help from Him or became associated with Him from a distance. Rather, it says, “he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit”; not two spirits trying to work together but one inseparable spirit.

This is who the new creation is; the Spirit of God has been so mingled with your spirit. This is far beyond religion. The Apostle Peter gives us further insight into this in 2 Peter 1:4. He says through God’s exceeding great and precious promises, we’ve become “partakers of the divine nature.”

The expression translated “partakers of the divine nature” comes from the Greek construction, “koinōnoi theias physeōs,” meaning associates or companions of the God-kind. What a revelation! By natural birth, you came into this world as a member of ‘mankind.’ But through Christ Jesus, you’ve become an associate of the God-kind, a member of the heavenly pantheon.

This doesn’t mean you suddenly know everything God knows experientially; notwithstanding, you’re fully divine just as a child born into a human family is fully human even before he or she matures physically and intellectually. A child at five months old may not walk, speak clearly, or understand like an adult, but that child is no less human than his parents.

Likewise, in Christ, you’re not growing to become more divine. You’re only growing in the knowledge and expression of your divine nature. This is why the Bible tells us to “…grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ...” (2 Peter 3:18). The growth is in knowledge, understanding, and manifestation. The divine life is already in you fully.

Refuse to see yourself as weak, ordinary, or merely human. There’s a higher life in you; the God-life. Think, talk, and act in agreement with your divine nature, origin and identity. You’re one with the Lord—replete with all His organic and existential attributes. Praise God!

CONFESSION

How great thou art, O, Lord! Thank you for bringing me into union with you through Christ Jesus. I think, talk, and act in agreement with your divine nature in me. I’m replete with all the organic and existential attributes of divinity. I manifest your wisdom, excellence, victory and glory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY
2 Peter 1:4 KJV
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Colossians 1:26-27 KJV
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: [27] To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

John 17:21-23 KJV
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. [22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: [23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

LIVE THE WORD TO THE FULLEST

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed (John 8:31).

One of the greatest decisions you could ever make in your life is to live the Word of God to the fullest possible measure. Decide you’re going to live and enjoy the blessings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as fully as a man can. When you make this a conscious choice and commitment, it’ll drive you to study the Scriptures because to live the Word, you must know the Word.

No one can walk effectively in the truths that they don’t know. The extent to which you know the Word determines the extent to which you can manifest the life of Christ. Therefore, He says in Colossians 3:16, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom….” God’s desire is that the Word so dominates your spirit that it becomes your instinctive way of thinking, talking, and living.

The Lord Jesus said, “...he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12). If you follow Him through His Word, you’ll never walk in darkness concerning your health, your future, your finances, or any aspect of life. You’ll always have the light of life. Following Him means yielding yourself completely to His Word and refusing to settle for less than what He has made available to you in Christ.

Don’t wait until you get to heaven to discover you could have lived at a higher level spiritually but didn’t. Don’t live beneath your inheritance in Christ because of ignorance or lack of commitment to the Word. Make up your mind that you’re going to know God’s Word and live it fully.

The Bible says, “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD…” (Hosea 6:3). The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, said, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God…” (2 Timothy 2:15). As you study the Word, meditate on it diligently, and act on it consistently, the light of God will flood your path. You’ll walk in clarity, victory, wisdom, and excellence continually because the Word will illuminate every area of your life.

PRAYER

Dear Father, thank you for the light and power of your Word. I commit myself to knowing and living your Word fully. Your Word fills my heart, governs my thoughts and directs my actions. I walk in the light of life, in victory, wisdom and excellence today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joshua 1:8 KJV
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Psalm 119:105 KJV
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

James 1:22-25 KJV
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. [23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: [24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. [25] But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

We trust you have been blessed by this devotional. We invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying thus:

“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”
