NO DEATH, ONLY LIFE! By Joseph Prince

Proverbs 12:28

In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.
God does not want us to worry about whatever happens in the world. We don’t need to be affected by whatever is causing the world to be afraid because we are the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21) And the Bible says, “In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is nodeath.”

The patriarchs of the Old Testament did not suffer during the famines that occurred in their lifetimes. Abraham remained very rich in livestock, silver and gold. (Genesis 12:10, 13:1–2) Isaac reaped a hundredfold in the land he sowed. (Genesis 26:1, 12–14) Joseph, with his entire family, was richly provided for in Egypt. (Genesis 47:11–13, 27) They weren’t just spared from suffering—they prospered exceedingly!

So even if our nation or the world enters a recession, we need not suffer. As long as we keep our eyes on Jesus, our righteousness, we will thrive!

This proved true for a church member whose boss told everyone to expect a substantial pay cut during an economic downturn. But while her colleagues received pay cuts, she received a substantial increment! As the righteousness of God in Christ, she saw provision in a time of lack.

In the midst of fearful news such as terrorist attacks, deadly pestilences and natural calamities, God says, “In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.” In fact, He protected an entire coastal town in South India during the Asian Tsunami in 2004.

A pastor who lived in that coastal town was praying that morning when he felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to plead the blood of Jesus over his entire town. So he did just that. When the tsunami struck, his town was untouched while five other towns, which were further inland, were wiped out by the devastating flood.

My friend, God protects us when the world is experiencing evil because we are the righteousness of God in Christ. His Word declares that “in the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death”!
Thought For The Day

You don’t need to be affected by whatever is causing the world to be afraid because you are the righteousness of God in Christ.

Testimony: Few months ago, it was bedtime and I was extremely tired, as the wave of sleep swept over me, I started to say my bedtime prayers whispering them in my heart as my eyes closed to nature, I felt the prompting of the lord so strongly to anoint every opening of my home. I began to plead every window, every door with the blood of Jesus. I didn't get up from my bed I just anointed it in faith not physically with oil or anything. That morning as I woke up, I felt some kind of presence around so I just prayed it away. My helper told me later that day, that she had a strange dream. In her dream, she saw a dark figure with dreadlocks and torn clothes fighting so hard to gain entry into my room in the dead of the night,he tried so hard to get in through my bedroom doors that open to the balcony but couldn't because he was prevented by guess what? The Blood!The Righteous Blood of Jesus. Stay in the Lord, He is our righteousness and our covering, glory to God, Amen.
