Sermon Note (3rd Svc)
Pastor Prince
Nearly 200 young people came to Christ this week! Their lives will never be the same.
The path of the righteous shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.
Gospel -> God spell, good news.
Many believers don’t understand the good news.
Until we understand what the gospel is all about, we are not ready to teach end time or holy spirit.
God is going to do something powerful in your lives!
Romans 4:13
The Promise Granted Through Faith
For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
We are Abraham’s seeds.
We are told to look at the blessings of Abraham. God called Abraham My friend.
Abraham believed the Lord and it was counted to him righteousness
The law is just but it cannot justify you.
Romans 6:14
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Sin is everything that is evil.
God loves the sinner but He hates sin.
The intensity you hate the cancer depends on how much u ℓσνє that person.
Sin is coming short the glory of God.
Sin shall not have dominion over you because you are not under law but under grace.
Abraham lied twice and God still bless him. I am not advocating you lie. God did not bless him because he lied. He blessed him because he was treated as righteous.
He was righteous by faith. God imputed righteousness to Abraham.
The promise of the heir of the world was given to Abraham and his seeds.
It involves earthly good.
How can you be the heir of the world if you are always poor.
U pursue God, money will pursue u. U r always supplied for.
How can u be the heir of the world if you are always sick?
How can u be heir of the world if you are always mentally unstable?
Heir of the world includes emotion stability.
How does the heir of the world manifest?
This promise to Abraham and to his seed is not via the law but through the righteousness of faith.
Righteousness of faith is a gift!
The root is what produces the leaves and the fruits.
Grace is the root and holiness, abundance of lives are the fruits.
We focus on holiness the fruit and tried to make apple tree produce orange.
Right believing will always produce right living.
The byproduct is ℓσνє joy peace self-control.
The more you try not to, the worse it is.
That is the nature of the law. Nothing wrong with the law. The law is designed to bring out your sin. The sting of death is sin. The strength of sin is the law.
The more you try the worse it is.
You let go, Jesus takes over.
Our holiness, the overcoming lives, the abundance lives, cannot come by the law. It comes by righteousness of faith.
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Don’t worry about your clothing and your food. Seek His righteousness. His righteousness is a gift and by faith. The more we seek His righteousness, all these things will be added unto us.
Romans 5:19
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
Our lives with predecessors is all linked. The blood is linked all the way down to the first man Adam.
Why are we sinners? Because of Adam’s sin.
By one Man’s obedience at the cross, we are made righteous.
Jesus’ obedience made us righteous.
Don’t worry about holiness and right doing, we focus on the fact that we are righteous by faith.
God has made us righteous. We are righteous by faith.
The more you believe that the more you see blessings of Abraham on you.
God knows u in detail. Be open to the Lord. The more blessings flow into your lives.
We are under grace. Grace is all about supply. Law is all about demand.
The law demands righteousness from man.
Under grace, perfect righteousness is supplied through Christ.
Romans 3:23-24
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freelyby His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Freely without a cause.
They hated Jesus without a cause.
Been justified freely, we are justified without a cause in us. All the cause is in Him
Romans 5:19
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
First man Adam sinned and all are made sinners.
Jesus Christ, became a Man and by One Man’s obedience, we are made righteous
God gave the law to show man’s sin. Not to justify us.
Nothing we do can change the fact we are sinners.
If by Jesus’ obedience we are made righteous, can we sin and become unrighteous again?
When we were sinners, did you do something that was right, did doing right change the fact that you were still a sinner?
Nothing u do can undo what Adam did.
What Jesus did at the cross, we cannot undo it.
By Jesus’ obedience we are made righteous permanently.
Romans 4:13
The Promise Granted Through Faith
For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
It is via the knowledge we are righteous by faith.
The more i declare i am the righteousness of God in Christ, the more i see the promise of the heir of the world.
Use our faith to believe what the Lord did for me to be righteous is so.
The more i declare i am righteousness of God in Christ the more i see His blessings.
Faith in the New Testament 20 times is mentioned is directly related to righteousness
Only 4 times in New Testament is directly related to salvation
It tells us where to use our faith
It is more important we establish.
When we try to change our loved ones, it becomes very law-based.
Demand is law centred.
Grace is supply.
I am the righteousness of God in Christ. Declare it.
Live the let go life!
True holiness is not by effort.
You will live your overcoming lives by “accident” (by product)
God’s way is always you yourself.
Psalms 128:2-4
When you eat the labor of your hands,
You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
In the very heart of your house,
Your children like olive plants
All around your table.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears the Lord.
Fruitful vine
Portrait of faith
Olive produces oil. Anointing of the Holy Spirit
Healing is the flow. Oil flowing.
When God speaks, water come out of hard places in your lives.
Portrait of faith for God’s people.
Thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.
The man has to focus am i blessed?
If i am blessed, my wife shall be. My children shall be.
Behold, look! This is the man that is blessed of Me.
Thus shall the man be who is blessed of the Lord.
There is a promise in the bible that God Himself will teach your children.
Jesus is our Passover Lamb
Jesus the blood that He shed caused the angel of death to passover
Threshold covenant
4 points on the door (+ cross, blood on the Israel’s door)
Shalom is health, wholeness. Great well being. Great shall be the shalom of your children.
Isaiah 54:13-14
All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
And great shall be the peace of your children.
In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
established – fixed
The Lord Himself will teach your children directly.
Righteousness by faith
When we are established in righteousness, there is a rest.
Children can sense anger, but they don’t know how to interpret it.
Declare as you are driving, I am the righteousness of God in Christ.
We impact children more with our examples (actions)
Divine impression speaks louder on them than we can imagine.
When u r established in righteousness u r far from oppression and terror.
You become the heir of the world and you enjoy all the good things added unto you.
God has declared us righteous because of what Jesus did at the cross.
Righteousness by faith.
God has justified me without any cause in me.
God has justified me without any reason in me. He has justified me freely by His grace through the redemption in Christ.
All the reasons in Him.
Whenever there is faith, there must be declaration.
Confession is very important.
Romans 10:8-10
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Sozo
We will be healed, protected.
Unto righteousness
Unto salvation
It includes welfare. Healing, wholeness, peace. In Hebrew, Yeshua
When we call Jesus we call health, healing, prosperity.
The word is near us in our mouth
We need to proclaim it! We need to say it !
Isaiah 45:23-25
I have sworn by Myself;
The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness,
And shall not return,
That to Me every knee shall bow,
Every tongue shall take an oath.
He shall say,
‘Surely in the Lord I have righteousness and strength.
To Him men shall come,
And all shall be ashamed
Who are incensed against Him.
In the Lord all the descendants of Israel
Shall be justified, and shall glory.’ ”
Does not matter who is against you, it is whether their word stick.
What is lacking?
Our confession.
Jesus today is our High Priest.
Hebrews 3:1
The Son Was Faithful
Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,
Hebrews 4:14-16
Our Compassionate High Priest
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
All He did for us is not in vain
See ourselves in Christ. Look at the last Man’s obedience. Be identified with the right Man, Jesus!
2 Corinthians 3:6-9
who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Glory of the New Covenant
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
The letter kills, the Spirit gives life.
Ministry of death written and engraved on stones.
The only part of the law that was done away that was engraved on stones are the 10 commandments.
We are not under the law, we are under grace.
We will not commit adultery but we will ℓσνє our spouse.
The strength of sin is the law.
The way out of any depression, to be delivered from every oppression, is to declare i am the righteousness of God in Christ.
The ministry of righteousness will exceed much more in the glory.
God has justified me without any reason in me. I am the righteousness of God in Christ.
Testimony –
A 21 years old man was addicted with pornography. He lost his marriage and church. He moved to somewhere further. He remarried. His wife was watching Pastor Prince sermon and he warned her to be careful.
He sat in 3 services in Lakewood church.
He tried and could not experience freedom.
His wife asked him to attend Grace Revolution church.
He heard testimonies about declaring righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and was delivered from pornography.
He could not grasp it.
One day he quietly said that in the midst of watching pornography.

—
The answer is declaring i m the righteousness of God in Christ and u will see all the good things added to you and bad things fall away.
God is your justifier. If God is your judge you cannot be saved. If God is your justifier, you cannot be lost.
