DARING TO WALK IN PURITY IS TO TREAD ON THE PATH OF POWER

 

Daring to walk in purity is to tread the path of power💪⚡| Pastor Manuel 

Once you maintain purity as a lifestyle, you align with one of the divine automatic channels to power...because God's throne is established in righteousness and justice.

Psalm 89:14 (AMP)— Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and loving-kindness and truth go before Your face.

Once you walk in righteousness, you qualify to access the honours of the kingdom; holiness is a honourable life (1Thess.4.4) That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; (KJV)

Such honourable life engenders the free flow of the unction. Make your life honourable, and power will surge up from within automatically. 

Ecclesiastes 9:8 (AMP) — Let your garments be always white [with purity], and let your head not lack [the] oil [of gladness].

From the foregoing scripture, a consistent uncompromising life of purity is a guaranteed access to power. It is purity that clothes the individual to walk in honour. Failure to do so as a child of God warrants successful assaults from the kingdom of darkness against your destiny in Christ Jesus. Irrespective of the revelations you have, it takes purity to trade power in the spirit.Without purity your revelations are mere suggestions without a divine backup;  it is not what you say but who you are that matters.

Jesus reprimands the Laodicean church for being lukewarm and lacking fervour towards the things of God. He says, “You say you are rich... but in the spirit, you are poor, wretched, naked...”

Revelation 3:17 (KJV)— Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

So He counsels them to buy from Him to be clothed and avoid nakedness and shame in the spirit.

Revelation 3:18 (KJV) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

You can never walk in honour without righteousness. It’s a must for everyone that calls him or herself a believer to walk in righteousness. 

If you don’t practice righteousness, you automatically become a casualty, attracting infamous violence from demonic hosts. Righteousness is key to a honourable life in the spirit. It takes righteousness to ride majestically in the realm of truth.(Ps.45.4) And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. (KJV)

  Take righteousness out of the equation, and truth shall be reduced to a mere philosophy. You can’t overcome generational patterns, living in sin. Family and territorial principalities won’t respect your confessions and revelations if you are a dishonourable one.

Having in all readiness to discipline all avengers of destiny is sine qua non to your complete obedience to the faith. 

(2 Cor.10.6) And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. (KJV)

Choosing to live recklessly subjects the believer to unwarranted demonic afflictions because of this principle: 👇

Romans 6:16 (KJV) _Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Don’t yield yourself as a slave to demonic acts and think of your automatic  enthronement in the spirit when you yield yourself as a servant of ruling forces of darkness to sin. 

Do you know that there are quite a number of well meaning believers having a godly form — they quote scriptures, say powerful revelations, yet they deny the foundation of their enthronement?

2 Timothy 3:5 (AMP)— Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

1 John 5:18 (KJV)— We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

You are expected to keep yourself from the evil and wicked one. There’s no doctrine that refutes this sound truth.

I saw in a vision recently where a demon saying he doesn’t fear a particular person's tongues. It is not what you say, but who is saying it.

Do you know that before you walk through the valley of the shadow of death unscathed, you are to walk in the paths of righteousness? 🤣

Psalm 23:3–4 (KJV)— He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

God bless you and lead you in the paths of righteousness.

Prayer:

Holy Spirit, help me hate sin with everything in me.

Let sin look so repulsive to me.

May I never find the urge to practice unrighteousness from this day forward.

Let Your fire 🔥 keep burning in me.

WALKING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BY PASTOR MANUEL

 

WALKING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS | Pastor Manuel 

Blessed new week to you all.

May this week prove God's remembrance of His promises made to you for good.

His mercy shall lead you forth, and grace shall be your prophetic ornament for exploits and favourable outcomes.

The Kingdom of God

Romans 14:17 (KJV)

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

As kingdom representatives, it is required of us to live lives worthy of divine royalties of the highest kingdom that eternally exists, world without end.

1 Thessalonians 2:12 (KJV)

That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

The kingdom of God is full of eternal glory and power, but citizens are required to live a peculiar life in this fallen world.

The Nature of Righteousness

The first characteristic life of this Royal Kingdom is righteousness — actions, thoughts, and imaginations that align with God's purpose, will, and thought.

1 John 3:7 (KJV)

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

The Holy Ghost makes it clear that, as born again, we have received the gift of righteousness — an ability to consistently do right without struggle.

Yet, we are expected to live out this righteousness in thought, word, and deed. He wants us not only to think right but to practice what He has filled our hearts with.

 Children of Light

We are children of light and not of darkness.

Ephesians 5:6–8 (KJV)

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes odarkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.

We are admonished to walk oas children of light and not as the people of this world:

We are different from this world’s people — guided by different kingdom principles and practices.

The kingdom of God has its peculiar fruits, characteristic of its citizens.

Ephesians 5:9 (KJV)

For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.

Bearing the Fruit of the Spirit

The fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.

We don’t pretend to be good or righteous; in sincerity, we make full proof of our new nature in Christ.

The aspect of goodness is demonstrated toward men on the earth.

Let men see your peculiarity and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Men must see your good works and testify of your goodness.

Matthew 5:14, 16 (KJV)

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

If your Christ-like life is hidden from men, you are not a Christ in practice yet.

The Mark of True Christians

Acts 11:26 (KJV)

And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Acts 4:13 (KJV)

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

The true Christian life can not be hidden. No human being is that string enough to suppress the true life of Christ he or she received at salvation. You either have Him or you are simply not born again . 

There’s this holy boldness the Holy Ghost gives us —irrepressible  confidence to show the Christ in us through word and deed to our world.

The Garment of Righteousness

Righteousness is our garment.

Just as we can’t hide the clothes we wear from others whenever we are in view , so our righteousness must be evident to all men in and around our lives.

Righteousness is a nature and quality of life that God requires of everyone who identifies and interacts with Him.

Don’t be deceived — anyone who practices righteousness is righteous.

1 John 3:7 (AMP)

Boys (lads), let no one deceive and lead you astray. He who practices righteousness [who is upright, conforming to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action, living a consistently conscientious life] is righteous, even as He is righteous.

Practising Righteousness

Exercise yourself unto righteousness today! As a believer, you have the innate ability and desire to do right.

You don’t need to force righteousness out — just practice it. It’s in you; it’s your very nature. That's a divine genetic engineering that the Holy Spirit operated in you at salvation. 

Anyone who has come to know Christ lives a distinct life from all others; having this special gene that sponsors righteousness in him or her. 

Righteousness comes naturally to the heart and mind — to easily forgive, help others, be like Jesus to men, and so much more.

Make a practice of righteousness today — it’s in you, your very nature from the Father of Light.

Resisting Sin

1 John 3:8 (KJV & AMP)

KJV:  He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

AMP:  He who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil... The reason the Son of God was made manifest was to undo and dissolve the works the devil has done.

Anyone who practices sin takes his character from the devil---

evil thoughts, imaginations, or suggestions might come to mind — but don’t practice them.

Depart from evil. It’s never consistent with you.

You are righteous — live as such.

God bless you!
