RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS

Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people. (NIV)

There are two dimensions of righteousness; the nature of righteousness and the fruits or deeds of righteousness. And both exalts. Righteousness as a nature exalts. The fruits of righteousness exalts as well. There is absolutely nothing in all the earth which exalts or promotes like righteousness.

Our opening scripture says "righteousness exalts a nation." If righteousness could exalt or promote a whole nation think about what righteousness could do to an individual. And yet the righteousness our opening scripture refers is righteous deeds (fruits of righteousness), and the impact of the nature of righteousness is far greater.

If a nation would do right (right deeds and justice) they would be exalted and promoted even if they do not have God's nature of righteousness. Then think about a person or people who have God's nature of righteousness, how glorious their lives would be! We are those people, you are the person. You have the nature of God's righteousness. You are not only exalted and promoted but you can exalt and promote individuals and nations.

Righteousness exalts a nation. And you are that righteousness today. As God's righteousness that you are, you are well positioned by the Spirit of God to exalt individuals and nations wherever you go.

Having received the gift of righteousness, you can reign in life through Jesus Christ, lifting men and women unto the higher life through the preaching of the Gospel wherever you go.
Romans 5:17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

CONFESSION

In Christ I have been made the righteousness of God, and through His righteousness I exalt nations and individuals. Through my preaching of the Gospel of righteousness I lift men from ashes heap to seat with princes. And I reign in life through the One man Jesus Christ. Amen!
