For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).
One of the most profound truths you could ever receive from God’s Word is that you’re as righteous as Jesus is righteous, because you’re the demonstration of God’s righteousness. In other words, the people of the world can look at you and see the perfection and inner-beauty of divinity. I would to God you’d grasp this truth today, and rise up to who you are in Christ, it’ll make you a master in life

Righteousness makes us masters. We reign through righteousness. In our opening scripture, we read that “...if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.” That means you reign in life by virtue of your nature of righteousness. You have become a master over every circumstance of life; a master over the demons of hell and every disease. It’s important that you understand this!
Notice what the scripture says will happen with those who receive the gift of righteousness: they shall reign in life! The Amplified version says they shall reign as kings in life. You’ve been called to reign in life. Being conscious that you’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus gives you mastery over the devil and his accusations. It makes you a champion in life! It also gives you the boldness and confidence to pray to God and expect an answer. You’re unafraid and unashamed before Him.

So now, not only can you stand in the presence of God by virtue of your righteousness in Christ Jesus, you can confront satan and the cohorts of hell in boldness without any fear. That makes you a master over satan. This is the reason we can stand before any kind of disease or sickness and command it to leave. Praise God!

Confession
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for giving me your righteousness as a gift, and inspiring me to boldly take advantage of my right standing with you! I declare that I’m reigning in life over satan, sin, sickness, disease and everything that hurts or binds; in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
