FAITH CAPSULE: Everything we do in the Lord with a lack of understanding will result to a lack of transformation.

Isaiah 54

What it brings to be established in righteousness like Daniel is:

God is consistent honoring His word. Psalm138:2 testify, “…For You have magnified your word above all Your name.” He has not change and He will remain same forever and what He promises to do is a done deal. Indeed and in truth, any one that is steadfast walking in His word is bound to be established in God. It is written in Isaiah 54:14, “In righteousness you shall be established…” In addition to engaging the required command becoming established in Him are His blessings which makes one an overcomer. Among such blessings are, “…You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. (Isaiah 54:14-15) “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn…” (Isaiah 54:17)The blessing that is packaged in being established in righteousness cannot be denied. Jesus Christ is our righteousness (2Corinthians 5:21). He came for each and every one, but not all will accept Him. Accepting Him is to believe Him and believing Him is behaving Him. Any one that believes (behaves) Him is the one that is set to overcome any weapon formed against him as promised by the word of God. Not having being established is taking a risk by standing to claim, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.”
The documentation of Daniel against weapon formed is a true and clear example for the need to be established before engaging weapons formed. The itinerant Jewish exorcists must have ignorantly assumed the position of established ones, when they took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” (Acts 19:13) The Bible recorded, “…the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.”” (Acts 19:15-17) By studying and gaining understanding knowledge will grow. Growth in knowledge cannot be separated from growth in grace. With steadfastness, grace will grow and knowledge will not fail. To be established in righteousness is the evidence of ones steadfastness in the Lord. Loving God with all our heart and our soul is the route to living as an effective believer.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to constantly regard the word of God as it sounds in your direction.
