Uprightness – Key For Fulfilling Your Days And Maximizing Your Destiny

Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. – Isaiah 59:1,2. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is nothing that corrupts a man’s life and destiny like iniquity.

God created you in order to fulfil your days and maximize your destiny on earth. You are not an accident of creation, but a deliberate intention of the Creator for a definite purpose and agenda. You are here on a mission to fulfil the vision and purpose of your Maker. What then does it take to fulfil your days or realize your destiny? How do you avoid the tragedy of a wasted life? What does it take to live a life that is fulfilled with minimal regrets?

Living in uprightness: To live free of sin with a clear conscience is to last long on the earth. This is because there is nothing that corrupts a man’s life and destiny like iniquity. There are two vital reasons why living in uprightness will help you to fulfil your days and realize your destiny on earth. They are:

1) Sin disconnects people from the Presence and the glory of God. (Isaiah 59:1,2; Romans 3:23). When a man sins or lives in sin habitually, he is separated from the Presence of God and disconnected from His glory. And when you are disconnected from the Presence of God, you are vulnerable to destruction (Psalms 91:1). Disconnection from the glory of God also renders people defenceless, because the glory of God is a defence (Isaiah 4:5b). So, if you want to live, fulfil your days and realize your destiny, run from iniquity.

2) Sin destroys faith and confidence in God. When the conscience is warped with guilt, boldness is lost (Proverb 28:1). Sin destroys your faith and confidence in God, and when faith is lacking, life is at risk. Therefore, beloved, if you want to fulfil your days and realize your destiny, don’t allow the corruption of iniquity. You will escape the corruption of iniquity and the damnation of sin in Jesus’ Name.

ASSIGNMENT (S): 1. Consciously guard the treasure of God’s Presence in you against sin.
2. Consistently ask God for the Grace to live above sin.
PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to live above sin, and make me a carrier of Your Presence, in Jesus’ Name.
