“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

When you trust God in this present time, He entrusts you with eternity!

The Eternal God exchanges Eternity for Time! He sent His Son who stepped into Time so that we could be become eternal beings. It took the death of Jesus at the Cross to abolish death and usher in eternal life to every one who believes ( 2 Timothy 1:10).

Therefore, my beloved , all things – both good and bad; joy and sorrow ; gain and loss , work together for the good of everyone who believes in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.

It is easy for God to make your minus into plus, loss into gain, sorrow into dancing.
The Eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemies before you, saying, ‘Destroy them!’ ( Deuteronomy 33:27).
Amen 🙏

Jesus’ death has made you righteous forever & His life makes you an eternal being!

“Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord, my Faithful God” Psalms‬ ‭31:5‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭NKJV

Everything in this world is quantified by ‘time’. The quality of life within this quantified time lies with us.
There is a time to be born and a time to die. It simply means that there is a beginning for every human being which is his/her birth and there is also an end for him/her which is death.
Between these two major events lies a life & all that matters is how well it is lived out. We choose a life style, thinking that is the best according to our understanding, mindset , experience etc. but then with the passage of time we get our Report card which can be very staggering & far below the “Best “
Therefore, we carry disappointments, regrets and deep hurts because our choices do not conform to our desired results. This is our way!

But, we have the Right way – the Righteous way that was demonstrated by the Lord Jesus during His earthly sojourn. He fully obeyed His Father from His birth to the point of His death. He lived a majestic life – eventhough He was from a poor background yet He could feed thousands of people at will. He never fell sick yet He healed thousands of sick & the hurting. He slept peacefully in the midst of raging storm. All demons dreaded Him & trembled in His sight . Even the most brilliant religious leaders among them were dumbfounded when He questioned them.
Yet, He went through the most gruesome & the shameful death, just for our sakes in order to punish death once and for all, which had a sway over all mankind through all generations, when He said during His dying moment, “ Father, Into your hands I commit my spirit”.
These were the most powerful words ever spoken by Him because the moment he handed over in His last moment, The Eternal God stepped in & annulled death, settling eternity in every human – “never to die”!

This fulfilled John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Yes my beloved , just believe that His death has made you righteous forever and His life makes you an eternal being ! Hallelujah!
Amen 🙏

When you commit your times to Jesus your T’sidkenu, He will steer you to your desired Haven by His protection & provision!

“My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This is a psalm of David and it is one of the most famous psalms that prophetically records the last 7 sayings of our Lord Jesus on the Cross, – “Into Your hand I commit my spirit;…”. Psalms‬ ‭31:5‬ ‭, which shows that the Lord committed His whole being & His times into His Father’s Hand.
The psalm also begins with a prayer to deliver him in the righteousness of God (“In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31:1‬ )

Yes my beloved, no matter the kind of trouble you are in , if you put your trust ( commit your times) in God as your righteousness ( Jesus your T’sidkenu), seeking for His protection not on the basis of your goodness or good deeds but on the basis of His righteous deeds, you will never experience shame nor harm.

If you declare that your times are in God’s hands, know for sure the Lord Jesus will surely come to rescue you and set your feet in broad places ( freedom from complete distress and anxiety) Psalm 31:8.
Allow Him to control ‘your time’ and He will usher you to His desired haven , by protecting you & providing for you. Amen 🙏

Speaking in Tongues gives you a strong inner assurance of His timing!

“And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭1:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

To know times or seasons is to have complete details on how and when God works , which the Father God alone knows .
Many a times we rattle our mind as to how God would work out a certain thing for us .
Mary the mother of Jesus was intrigued about her conception when angel Gabriel came to announce the birth of Jesus.

It is not for us to know all the details of His outworking . However, He doesn’t want us to be ignorant as well.
His advice to us is that we receive the Promise of the Father , the Holy Spirit,
And speaking in tongues functions as an inbuilt GPS , leading us step by step until we have a strong inner assurance of His timing ( 1 Kings 18:41-44). Hallelujah!

Yes my beloved, when God gives you a promise , receive it & brood over it by speaking in tongues. Your times are in His hands !
Submit to Him & hold on to His righteousness. The Holy Spirit will give a fresh understanding of Jesus our T’sidkenu & Walk in this understanding daily . You shall surely see the fulfilment of His promise . Amen 🙏

In His time He makes all things beautiful!

““Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying: ‘This people says, “The time has not come, the time that the Lord’s house should be built.” ’ ” Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying, “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?””
‭‭Haggai‬ ‭1:2-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

When there is conflict of interest, there will also be the conflict of the concept of ‘time’ resulting in the lack of discernment of God’s timing.

The Lord Jesus said the same thing, “ Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!”
‭‭John‬ ‭4:35‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We fail to understand times and seasons because we aren’t aligned with God’s interest.
Jesus said, “ Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all your need shall be added “ . Our needs are added in addition to His righteousness when we pursue Him & His Righteousness. Amen 🙏

Yes my beloved , His Righteousness means “what is right is His sight “- The Right way should become the primary focus of our life.

Align yourself with His interest and He will align Himself with yours.
You will then have the clarity of God’s time because in His time, He makes all things beautiful ! Amen 🙏

Sense of entitlement is a boon only when we learn to say at the end of our success story – “ It’s no longer me but Christ in me“

“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.”
I Corinthians‬ ‭15:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

‘Sense of Entitlement’ – Is it a boon or a bane ?
Exercising your rightful claim is much needed if it is done the Right way.
Both the Apostle Paul and the older son in the parable of the “Prodigal Son” laboured exceedingly. Also, both of them in their pursuit applied a comparative analysis but Apostle Paul did it the Right way, the way that God sees as right, which is the way of Righteousness.

What then is the Right Way ?

Apostle Paul knew that it was only the grace of God that enabled him to progress beyond his contemporaries. He never forgot his humble beginning. His focus was Jesus alone . He kept allowing the Holy Spirit to replicate Christ in him. He was very assertive when it came to the application of Grace in his life.
When he had given himself totally to the working of grace , he realised with the passing of time that he had gone past his contemporaries, was way beyond the world standards, was truly in the making of the Divine in the human. This is amazingly amazing & truly outstanding as he stood out from the rest in the very nature of Christ , full of compassion especially to the lost ! That’s the Right Way!

May the Lord God grant us this sense of entitlement to pursue our call that God has called us to, so that at the end there will be a standing ovation from the spectators of heaven when Jesus hugs us saying, “ Well done my good and faithful servant …“
(Mathew 25:21). Hallelujah!
Amen 🙏

His great unconditional love reaches to the lost & the least!

“So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭15:29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Sense of Entitlement’ – is it a boon or a bane ?

The older son carried in his heart ‘ a sense of entitlement’ because he completely obeyed his father without fail & yet without any reward.

On the other hand, the younger son messed up his life and became worse than his father’s servants, yet he was given a royal welcome and the most royal treatment one could ever imagine .

This looks weird & meaningless unless we understand God’s compassion.
He is a God who will leave behind the 99 and seek after the one that is lost . Does not mean that He doesn’t care for the 99 rather He cannot accept the loss of that precious one.
His love is very personal , even if it is one soul at a time.
“_Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!_” Romans‬ ‭11:33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Amen 🙏

The end purpose of the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus is His compassion!

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” II Corinthians‬ ‭1:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The heart of God is compassion! The end purpose of Righteousness is also compassion. Without compassion we will never understand nor appreciate His Righteousness.

In the parable of the prodigal son ( Luke 15:11-32), the older son knew the commandments whereas the younger son understood and experienced his father’s compassionate heart.

My beloved , it is important to know and learn God’s commandments and precepts. But it is much more important to understand His compassion. God is full of compassion. He is rich in mercy ( Ephesians 2:4) . His mercies never fail ( Lamentation 3:22,23). His mercy triumphs over judgement ( James 2:13). His heart toward you is full of compassion. This led Him to send His only begotten Son to take away the sin of the whole human race & His great love has made you righteous forever.

My beloved, feed on His love for you every day & nothing in this world can ever shake you. His love casts out all fear and makes you to live victorious and unparalleled in this world just as He is ( 1 John 4:17,18). Amen 🙏

Whom He Justified, He also Glorified with Heavenly Dignity & a state of well being!

“And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:30‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Righteousness results in Glory . Without being right with God we can never be glorified.
Man lost his glory when he sinned first time in the garden of Eden ( Romans 3:23). The purpose of God in sending His only begotten Son Jesus is not just to save us from sin nor just to forgive our sins, but His purpose for us is to restore His Glory to us.
He not only saved us from the miry clay but also raised us up to a heavenly dignity and authority, far above all powers and rule and dominion.
What an amazing love of God towards us in the person of Jesus the Christ !

What is right in His sight is our might ! Hallelujah!!
Jesus is our Righteousness (T’sidkenu) and he who believes in Him shall never be ashamed, rather he will be highly exalted with greater glory! Hallelujah! Amen 🙏

Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus is the Right Way in God’s sight!

“All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Righteousness of God means what is Right in the sight of God.
On the other hand, iniquity means doing what seems right in our own sight. (Isaiah clearly defines this in the above verse)
But, the Good news is that God laid on Jesus this iniquity of us all that led us astray from the WAY.
This is His own decision. He neither consulted with us nor did He take our opinion. He concluded that this is best & the only way to save us. It was right in His sight. Therefore, bible calls this as the ‘Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus’. Hallelujah!

Now, when I declare that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus it means that I agree with God completely as to what He did for me by laying all my iniquity on Jesus forever to set me free. Hallelujah!

My beloved, today God sees you completely righteous forever. However, it takes your acceptance to what God did which He deemed right , which is His righteousness. Therefore, confessing that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus is doing the utmost best to your life forever. Amen 🙏
