USE YOUR FAITH TO WORK RIGHTEOUSNESS

Hebrews 11:33 “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouth of lions”.

Let us pursue this thought further. How do you use your faith to work righteousness? 

Romans 6:11 “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Remember 2 Pet. 1:3 says you have been given promises for life or living and godliness. This means as there are promises that grant you good health, prosperity and breakthroughs, so also there are promises that enable victory over sin, holiness and such like. Therefore, if you are having problems with sin in your life, you appropriate promises like Romans 6:11. It says “reckon”, which means that you should count yourself dead to that sin – how? By faith! That means you keep believing and saying that you are dead to that sin even when it seems you are in the grip of it. And before you know it, you are walking free.

Confession/Prayer:

I am dead to sin in Jesus name but alive unto God.
