……He leads me in the paths
of righteousness for His name’ sake.~
Psalm 23:3
The question many ask is how can
one be righteous before God? Righteousness is initiated by God in a person’s
life. (Copy and tweet). He is the only
one who leads us in the paths of righteousness for His name sake. There are two
things I can deduce here- Firstly, God is interested in protecting His name invested
in a person’s life. Secondly, He started this journey and knows how best to
carry a person through this life in order to make them right before Him. (Copy
and tweet).
My difficulty with ritualistic
Christianity is that it’s empty, powerless and never fulfilling. (Copy and tweet). It’s synonymous to the other religions where
adherents are made to believe that their wholeness comes through the
performance of certain rituals. God is the only one who teaches a person how
they can be right with Him. (Copy and tweet).
I believe a person’s ability to
walk righteously with God is seen in their understanding of the instructions of
the relationship. (Copy and tweet). Until a person maintains their relationship
to the source of their strength, they will lose out. (Copy and tweet). There is more power in righteousness! A person
can pray for the anointing and for the performance of miracles, but if they
don’t live righteously, they should forget it.
It’s a journey which requires
everything of the individual. I have seen God do more through me these times
than ever when I began to desire a deeper walk with him. You might be
thinking can a person serve God and not have a deeper walk? Yes and a big yes! Many walk with the maxim that to the
pure all things are pure yet live a contrary life to what the bible teaches. (Copy and tweet).
In these times when many have the notion that correcting someone might offend
them, which is different from judging, the desire to live right has been
compromised. (Copy and tweet). This I
believe has accounted for the loss of God’s power in individual lives.
You will only see the fullness of
God’s power when He leads you in the paths of righteousness. (Copy and
tweet). This is like quid pro quo - God initiates the process and man allows himself to be consumed by it. God knows at some
point you will falter, but still finds a way to make His power available so you can cross the
finish line. (Copy and tweet). When you look onto Jesus who initiated the faith you possess and don’t allow anything to distract you , you can receive all of God's power that
comes out of walking righteously with Him. (Copy and tweet).
