The Righteous Shall Eat The Fruit Of Their Work

Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

[Isaiah 3:10, AMP]

Prophet Isaiah in this chapter [Isaiah 3] was speaking generally about the the desolation that would come upon Judah and Jerusalem for their sins. But He also speaks of God's promise and assurance to the righteous, that it shall be well with them, notwithstanding the general calamities that was coming upon the people for their sins.

Who is the righteous one today? To be righteous is to be doing that which is right, and being free from wrong, guilt, or sin. On your own, you will fall short of being righteous. The righteous one today is one who has received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Christ Jesus is your righteousness, holiness and redemption. God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on your behalf, so that you might become the righteousness of God in Him. He paid the penalty of your sin and provides you with His very own perfections. His record becomes yours. This is why yor Loving Father loves each Christian as much as He loves Jesus Christ. For you who has received the righteousness of Christ by faith, you are counted as the righteous.

Your Loving Father says to you today, "It shall be well with you, and you shall eat the fruit of righteousness".  Many negative things may be happening around you but your Loving Father will preserve you. In the day of famine you shall be satisfied. You shall eat the fruit of your works and your righteousness. You will bear good fruit and your works shall be prosperous. Your Loving Father will increase the fruit of your righteousness.

Declaration: Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of righteousness which I have received by faith. I thank You for your unfailing love towards me, that You love me as much as You love your precous son Jesus Christ. I declare that I am covered with the robes of righteousness that Jesus gives to me. I declare that I am covered with the precious blood of Jesus and He lives in me. Thank You for when You look at me, You do not see what I used to be but You see perfect Jesus! In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

I Will Write My Instructions On Your Heart

"But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day," says the Lord. "I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people..."

[Jeremiah 31:33, NLT]

Many a times you may have a desire in your heart to do something, but you may be hesitant, with the reason that you are waiting on God to speak directly to you. It is God who has given you the desire. Because the desire comes from your heart, you may wonder if it is God who is speaking to you. Your path is to step out in response to that God-given desire.

 

Once you are saved, you have a brand new heart, and you can trust the promptings of your heart because your Loving Father dwells in you and He leads you from within. His promptings will never contradict His Word. It will lead you to good success.

Often, you find that when you follow your inner promptings, it is actually God who has put those desires in your mind and written them on your heart. The instructions are written deep within your heart. Because God has given you a new heart, He will write His desires on it. And as you fulfill these desires in line with God's will, you will bring forth fruit, and not wither and die. Whatever you do will prosper!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the new heart you gave me when I accepted Your gift of salvation. Thank You that Your Spirit dwells in me. Almighty Father, I pray that I will be sensitive to the presence of the Holy Spirit in me and utilize the great power residing in me. I pray that I do not walk in the flesh but walk in the Spirit, that I may be able to differentiate and respond to the desires which You have put in my heart rather than respond to my worldy desires. May You continue to guide me and show me the way to walk in. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

I Am Ever Mindful of My Covenant

He will ever be mindful of His covenant

[Psalm 111:5, KJ21]

God has established an everlasting covenant with you. It is a covenant of forgiveness of sins, change of nature, an eternal inheritance, and a direct relationship with God Himself. God bound Himself to graciously do certain things for His "undeserving" creatures, upon whom He lays certain conditions and obligations. Your Loving Father looks at His covenant with you rather than at your covenant with Him. His covenant shall not fail. He cannot go back on His promises. His own Son Jesus Christ ratified the covenant of grace with His precious blood, and God will therefore rest in His covenant engagements.

Your Loving Father will ever be mindful of His covenant, for He has ever been so. In times past, God never let a part of His covenant fall to the ground. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Though you may have your shortcomings, and may be unmindful of His commands, He will ever be mindful of His covenant with you.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your great compassion and enduring patience; that You do not treat me as my sin deserves but with Your never-ending mercy. Thank You for being ever mindful of Your covenant with me. From everlasting to everlasting Your love is with those who walk with You, who keep Your covenant and obey Your precepts. I pray that by Your grace, I will continually be mindful of my covenant with You. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
