Seeds of Destiny 17 April 2019 Devotional – The Preservation Power of Uprightness written by Dr Paul Enenche

TOPIC: THE PRESERVATION POWER OF UPRIGHTNESS

SCRIPTURE: Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. Psalms 25:21

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Uprightness or righteousness preserves but transgression destroys.

It is clear from scriptures that there is a preservation power in uprightness (Psalms 25:21). Uprightness or righteousness preserves but transgression destroys. Maintaining an upright standing is key to preservation in life,”but compromise is a way to destruction.  Seeds of Destiny 17 April 2019

Job was one man in scripture who enjoyed the preservation power of uprightness. Despite the challenges and afflictions that he faced, as long as he held on to his integrity, the enemy could not finish him; he lived to a very good old age (Job 27:3, Job 42:16,17).

The question is, how does uprightness preserve?

1. Uprightness keeps people in the Presence of God (Psalms 24″:3-5). An upright person carries the Presence of God and the Presence of God is the preservative of life and destiny. Unrighteousness keeps you from God and to be kept from God is to be exposed to calamity.

2. Uprightness facilitates answers to prayers (Isa. 59:1-2). It is important that we have the assurance that God will answer our prayers when we call on Him,”especially in times of emergencies (Jeremiah 33″:3).

Beloved, to avoid uprightness is to embrace disaster. To enjoy iniquity is to endure calamity. To avoid uprightness is to avoid eternity in Heaven. The reason you must live an upright life is not just so you can escape premature death, but majorly because of your making eternity in heaven.

Whatever life a person lived that made him to end up in hell at the end was never worth it. But that shall not be your portion, in Jesus’ Name.
