The law of righteousness is one law that many people know but hardly comply with. It is simple; obey God, and you will excel (). Jesus put it this way in :
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
If you seek God's righteousness and seek to do things that are right in His sight, without a doubt, the material things that other people are seeking will begin to pursue you and overtake you. This is a law that cannot be broken.
When my father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, was alive, he used to say that it is what your father has that he will use to take care of you. says that whomever a person yields himself or herself to obey is that fellow's master. This means that if someone obeys the devil and commits sin, the devil will take care of the fellow with what he has. Also, if the fellow obeys the Lord and lives righteously, God will take care of him or her with what He has. The devil has nothing else to offer than to kill, steal, and destroy (); if anyone obeys him, that is what he or she will get. If you obey Christ and live in righteousness, the same says that what He has to offer you is abundant life.
Beloved, there is absolutely no gain in sin. The things that look like the gains of sin are actually baits of the devil. When a hunter is trying to catch an animal in the forest, he puts the animal's best food inside a trap. When the animal tries to grab the food, it gets trapped. Beware of whose food you are eating. If you have to compromise on God's word to get that food, it is only a trap for the devil to destroy your soul. Whatever hunters use to feed their catch is nothing compared to what they will take from the catch.
The devil will never give you anything without collecting more from you. Obey the law of righteousness, and you will enjoy the blessings of God.
