RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
TUESDAY 8TH JUNE.
AS WHITE AS SNOW
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool (Isaiah 1:18).
The Lord Jesus was divine and without sin; yet, He became the sin-sacrifice, offered up for the sin of the world. He took our place of sin on the Cross, so that we might take His place of righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21).
As a result of what Jesus did, we’re declared holy and without blame before the Father. We can boldly stand in the presence of God without guilt, inferiority or condemnation. The truth is that God holds nothing against you. To Him, you’re as perfect as Jesus is, because your righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Picture it this way: An amazing prince beckons on you to attend his banquet. Whereas you’re wearing rags—dirty and smelly and wouldn’t want to come close to him or his guests because of your filthy looks—with a warm smile, he signals that you come in and flings open the banquet door.
Noticing your reluctance, he entreats further that you come in so he could introduce you to the others in the hall. But with a look of dejection, you refuse the invitation. Finally, the prince says, “I know how you feel; I’ll not make you ashamed. Can you trust me?” Then, you trust his word, and go in. However, you still can’t imagine yourself mingling with such clean and flawless people.
Knowing your thoughts, the prince says, “Now that you’ve believed, look at yourself again!” Then you did and suddenly, you were as regal and immaculate as the prince and everyone else in the room. This is akin to your righteousness in Christ Jesus. The Bible says, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). Glory to God!
No wonder He says in 1 Corinthians 6:11 that you’re washed, sanctified, and justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. Now He’s made you His partner in bringing others into this amazing life of righteousness, to experience the same peace and glory you have in Him. Hallelujah! Don’t keep it to yourself.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your righteousness in me, which produces in me the ability to live right and fulfil your will always. I produce fruits of righteousness, do the works of righteousness, and manifest your goodness to the world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN
I affirm that I am anointed by the Spirit of God for such a time as this! I am in God’s place for my life! The Word of God is in my heart and my mouth; and as I think and meditate on the Word today, the circumstances of my day align with the will and purpose of God for me!
I attract myself only to thoughts that are consistent with my destiny in Christ-thoughts of victory, increase, success, health, and strength. I am in Christ; I am not a child of chance. God has prearranged my life for good.
I walk those paths that have been laid out for me before the foundations of the world and I prosper in all my ways. I am sensitive to the leading of the Spirit and my heart is open to fresh ideas and innovations.
I refuse to live a life of excuse and procrastination. I am on the right path; enjoying God’s manifold riches in every area of my life.
I’ll never be helpless in life; for God has the right people at the right place and at the right time to favour my course. The lifting power of God is at work in me, causing me to make remarkable progress and resounding success, thus, when men are cast down, there’s a lifting up for me.
I have enough time and whatever time it is that is left, is enough to finish all that God has put in my heart to do. I’ve gained the speed of the spirit and I will finish my course with great joy and excitement. Glory to God. Hallelujah!
God bless you
