Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.  Proverbs 10.6

There are countless advantages to being righteous. We become a little like our Father by practicing His righteousness, which is the application of His Word. Even believing in the Lord is good for us, because this simple act made Abraham a friend of God: And the scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God (James 2.23). It’s rewarding to be recognized as a friend of the Creator!

When we receive the title of righteous, a series of blessings are placed on our heads, so that we can live as Jesus lived, walk as He walked and please the Father as He pleased. In this regard, the Word of the Lord says: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him (Acts 10:38). Blessed are those who exercise divine justice!

The Scriptures go further and say that even our feet are beautiful because they walk on problems, providing us with the conditions to be righteous. Then the Spirit of God declares this beauty: And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” (Romans 10:15). When we bless, we are graced by the Most High!

We need to do our best for our neighbor, ministering to him the knowledge of the Almighty. This help will bring us the gifts we need. What the Lord speaks or promises is accomplished the moment we believe. So, if you fit the figure of the righteous, you can and should use the Name of Jesus to rebuke the evil that plagues your life. The Word will be fulfilled in you when righteousness is practiced. Do it now!

Remember: by believing, you have already manifested righteousness. So, believe in your victory the moment you rebuke the evil in your body. By being righteous – the one who puts Heaven’s justice to work – you are also considered a friend of God. What you believe places blessings on your head, not what you think. Your firm faith in God equates you with the patriarch Abraham, making you his son (Galatians 3:7; 3:29). Pray and live!

Poor people who distrust the Scriptures, because their feet don’t have the grace required to proclaim the Truth and free the lost from demonic webs. Regardless of who you are, become a deliverer of those oppressed by the devil by doing what Jesus did. He guaranteed it: For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you (John 13:15). How will you conduct yourself now?

Let justice cover your mouth, not violence. Christ said: Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father (John 14.12). We must be friends of God: You are my friends if you do whatever I command you (John 15.14).

In Christ, with love,
