BOLDNESS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
No atom of weakness can overcome the devil. Unrighteousness is his attitude and so cannot confront him (1 John 3:8). It is also important that you realise that we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against forces of wickedness. That is why you cannot afford to be a weak Christian. He who toys with sin will soon face disgrace, so beware. One of the strength you need to put on for victory as a Christian is the boldness of righteousness. God’s word calls it the breastplate of righteousness. This is a strange level of confidence; the scripture says the righteous is as bold as a lion.
The boldness of righteousness is in two dimensions. The first is as a product of faith in God’s word that claims the righteousness which is given to us by God through Jesus Christ. This is not by your own making. God’s word says it is not of works but faith (Romans 3:1-26, 2 Corinthians 5:20). No man can be so right with God, you must learn to put on His righteousness always, and then you are qualified. The second is from obedience to the word of God. When you obey God’s commandment you are entitled to God’s covenant reward (Deuteronomy 28:1).
As a child of God this righteousness gives you strange boldness that no devil can wait for. Arise in this light and be courageous to win
Prayer: Lord, cast on me the
breastplate of righteousness
“The
level of your strength is known by your Courage”
