KINGDOM RIGHTEOUSNESS

SPEAK AND DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
Our text  is taken from Psalms 71:15-24.   

Notice the verses in
v. 15 – “tell of Your Righteousness”
v. 16 – “make mention of Your righteousness”
v. 19 – “declare Your Righteousness is very high
v. 24 – “talk of Your Righteousness” all day long

These verses speak and declare of Christ Righteousness. The Psalms are prophetic as the saints will talk of His Righteousness all day long. The following verse 24 says the enemies are confounded (confused) or defeated and brought to shame.  Those speaking against us and seek our hurt.  We continue to speak righteousness and practice righteousness.  When we share righteousness our enemies are defeated.  So I believe righteousness is a mighty weapon.  God’s righteousness (Christ) is very high and we are able to reign in life.  God will help solved our problems how great and severe it is.  He shall revive us and restore us again.  God shall increase our greatness.  We need blessings, honor, riches, anointing wisdom and many more through His righteousness.  God will comfort us on every side.

And in verses 22 to 24 says David response by “I will sing and rejoice and declare Your righteousness daily” My tongue shall talk of Christ righteousness all day long. In the Old Testament it is a shadow of things to come and David talks and declares God’s Righteousness.  In the New Testament the real person is here.  Paul preaches and declares Christ Righteousness against righteousness by works.

For God has in Romans 4:6 imputes righteousness apart from works” to those who believe Jesus. In the New Covenant there is an imputation.  The word “impute” in Greek “logizomai” means to put down to a person’s account.  God puts into our account or implanted the seed of righteousness. We are receiving His Righteous Seed into our DNA. You become righteous without your righteous deeds as Jesus became sinful without His sinful deeds.  - 2 Cor. 5:21  Are you righteous?   Yes or No!
What is righteousness?  Righteousness is right standing with God. Righteousness is the ability to stand in the presence of God without condemnation, guilt, or shame.

The Power to Righteousness
The key to the fruitful Christian life is the power of righteousness. To “be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith” (Philippians 3:9).

 “God made him [Jesus] who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
It is not enough to be delivered from sin; it is enough to be delivered to righteousness. - Edwin Louis Cole    “If I must choose between peace and righteousness, I choose righteousness” -   Theodore Roosevelt quotes.
