VALUE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Righteousness is a precious gift from God to us. Without it we have no access to God and we have no hope of answered prayer. Righteousness is what makes God your Father. It is the righteous that God partners with to change things on the earth. The power of God flows through the prayer of the righteous. In fact God is watching and waiting on the prayer of the righteous for Him to intervene in the earthly matters.


God is waiting to hear the righteous say, "Father, let your kingdom come; let your will be done on earth concerning this situation." He is waiting to hear the righteous enforce His will on earth through fervent and heartfelt prayers. 


"For the eyes of the Lord are over the RIGHTEOUS, and his ears are open unto THEIR PRAYERS: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil." (1 Peter 3:12).


"Confess your faults one to another, and PRAY one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent PRAYER of a RIGHTEOUS MAN avails much.


Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he PRAYED EARNESTLY that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.


And he PRAYED again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit." (James 5:16-18).


YOUR BLESSING IS WAITING ON YOUR PRAYER.


It means that the blessing of the righteous (which are in heavenly places in Christ Jesus) will not manifest on earth until they put a demand on it through prayer. 


"O you that HEARS PRAYER, unto you shall all flesh come.


By terrible things IN RIGHTEOUSNESS will you ANSWER us, O God of our salvation; who is the CONFIDENCE of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea" (Psalms 65:2, 5).


One of the ways the righteous express confidence in God is through prayer. By making you the righteousness of God in Christ, God has given you privileged access into His presence to receive answers to your prayers. He is waiting to hear you pray.


"And therefore will the LORD WAIT, that HE MAY BE GRACIOUS UNTO YOU, and therefore will He be exalted, that HE MAY HAVE MERCY UPON YOU: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.


For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: you shall weep no more: HE WILL BE VERY GRACIOUS UNTO YOU at the VOICE OF YOUR CRY; when HE SHALL HEAR IT, he WILL ANSWER YOU." (Isaiah 30:18-19).


O Lord help us not to waste this awesome gift of righteousness.

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Leadership and the Power of Covenants: Lessons from Saul, David, and the Gibeonites

Whether in government, business, or ministry, true leadership requires  wisdom, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility.  Every decision made by a leader  creates a ripple effect , sometimes impacting future generations in ways unseen at the time. The story of  King Saul’s broken covenant and its consequences  in  2 Samuel 21:1-7  offers  powerful leadership lessons . It reveals how  poor leadership choices—whether made in zeal or ignorance—can bring lasting repercussions . On the other hand, King David’s response shows the  hallmarks of a wise and just leader  who seeks guidance, upholds justice, and values integrity. If you are in a leadership role— whether leading a family, a company, a church, or a nation —these insights are for you. A Leader’s Actions Have Lasting Consequences 1. Ignorance is No Excuse ...

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...
