JEHOVAH TSIDKENU
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SUNDAY, 11TH JUNE 2017
TOPIC: JEHOVAH TSIDKENU
SCRIPTURE: 5 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land.
6 In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteous Savior - Jeremiah 23:5-6
MEMORY VERSE: Jeremiah 23:6
DIGGING DEEP: Today we want to study why we are rightoeus and how to stay righteous. Jehovah Tsidkenu means the Lord our righteousness.
Becoming righteous is a responsibility for all who are in Christ. Righteousness describes our relationship status with God. Anyone who have not recieved Jesus has Lord and king is not righteous and has no relationship with God.
Righteousness is very important because it does not only reflect your state of relationship with God but it has a huge impact on our daily affair. Our text reveal that when a righteous branch is raised two things will happen:
a. Wisdom will be on display: "... a King who will reign wisely..." This shows that righteousness is a linker to wisdom. Foolishness is the hallmark of unrighteousness.
b. Just and right performance: "... and do what is just and right in the land." To do good and act well is a product of righteousness.
I want you to understand that just like a branch is cut from one and grafted into another plant. In like manner we were disconnected from unrigteousness and grafted into the family of God (the family tree of righteousness). After grafting is completed, what flows in this grafted branch is not from the old plant again but from the new plant it was now grafted into. Sotherefore, the nature and character that flows in us is that of God hence our righteousness is not of us but of Him. We are dependent on God to be righteous. The only way we can become unrighteous is when God becomes unrighteous, and it is never possible for God to be unrighteous and secondly when we decide to allow ourselves to become regrafted into the works of flesh. So long we remain engrafted in God we are righteous.
God is our righteousness. You do not try to be righteous it naturally flows through you. If you are properly grafted in God and remain in Him, you can't henceforth live your life your own way, because your dependancy is totally on God. His will is your will, His life is in you, His nature becomes your nature and what God hates you naturally hate. You no more live a religious centred life but a God centred life. Religion will say "it is not possible for a human to live totally free of sin" but a God centred life says "it is possible."
Struggling to live right won't be necessary if righteousness flows in you.
Finally, remember that God is your righteousness and He wants you to live a righteous life.
I pray for you, remain grafted in Christ in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord, help me to exhibit You everyday in Jesus' name.
