Have
you ever asked yourself why some Christians are constantly beset with
overwhelming challenges, sicknesses and defeat if God’s promise, “No
weapon formed against you shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17), is true?
Well, this promise comes with a condition — “In righteousness you shall
be established”. When you are established in righteousness, you will be
far from oppression and terror, and not a single weapon formed against
you will prosper!
This condition
is not hard to meet. For a start, you already have righteousness! When
you received Jesus as your Savior, you received the gift of
righteousness which enables you to reign in life. (Romans 5:17) This
righteousness does not come from you but the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17) And
when you are established in His righteousness, no weapon formed against you will prosper.
But
what does being established in righteousness mean? To be established in
something is to have that something as your very foundation for
security. So God wants you to know, be sure of and grow in the
revelation that you are righteous by the blood of Jesus, by His perfect
sacrifice at the cross.
When you
feel as if you are in a storm, tossed here and there, and you begin to
experience worry and fear, remind yourself of who you are in Christ. You
are the righteousness of God in Christ and you have His righteousness!
As
you do this, you will begin to notice the worry and fear slide off you,
for when you are established in righteousness, “you shall be far from
oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not
come near you”! That is why God wants you to be established in
righteousness. He wants you to be free from fear, and far from
oppression and terror.
So when the
pressure is on, hold fast to the belief that you are the righteousness
of God in Christ. That is where no weapon formed against you can
prosper. As you keep believing and confessing your righteousness in
Christ, revelation will break forth and you will experience the release
of God’s miraculous provision, divine protection and blessings into your
life!
