Righteousness Speaks

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise… (Romans 10:6).

Righteousness has a voice; it speaks! The Bible says the righteousness which is of faith doesn’t beg, complain, or fear; it declares God’s truths. It speaks the language of victory, boldness and dominion.

Being born again, you were born righteous; you were born with the life and nature of God. His righteousness was imparted to your spirit, supplanting the sin nature. That righteousness is a nature and a position, but it also empowers your speech. It causes you to talk like God.

So, when you say, “I’m the righteousness of God in Christ,” it’s much more than a positive confession. It’s the affirmation of truth! You’re saying what God has said. The Bible says, “He has said, so that we may boldly say...” (Hebrews 13:5-6). He said in 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Speaking the same things with God is how we activate and release the life and blessings of righteousness.

You can’t walk in your inheritance without saying it. You can’t reign in life unless you talk as the royalty that you are. The Lord Jesus said you shall have whatsoever you say (Mark 11:23). He also said, “By your words you shall be justified” (Matthew 12:37). Therefore, you have to speak and speak right.

The righteousness of faith doesn’t say, “I hope one day I’ll be healed or helped.” No! Rather, it says, “I have and walk in divine health, and I’m marvellously helped of the Lord.” The righteousness of faith calls things that are not as though they were; it speaks reality, and the Word of God is the reality.

When you speak the Word of God in faith, you align your life with heaven’s will. You silence doubt and confusion. You activate angels. You chart a course of divine success. So, speak boldly. Declare your health, peace, prosperity and victory. Express your righteousness through your words.

Prayer / Confession

I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I speak words of life, power and faith. My words are full of faith, hope and love, and they establish God’s will in my life, in the lives of others, and in my environment. I walk in divine favour and victory today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
