Chapter One

A COOL BREEZE IN THE MIDST OF STORMS

A champion is expected to encounter storms, engage in warfare and encounter oppositions. However, the promises of God and His words are available for you to not only resist your adversary but to rise above every challenge. (Joshua 1: 1-9; 17: 17-18). The adversary is constantly watching over you and hoping you make mistakes, slack behind, and cut corners so that he can bring accusations against you and hold back your progress. We have all fallen short of righteousness. However, your righteousness comes through your belief that your transgressions have been forgiven. There is no amount of good deeds and conviction for doing the right thing to make you unquestionably righteous. Why? Adam and Eve, from whom we all came, separated themselves from God through their disobedience (Genesis 3:1-8).

This separation came about as a result of human action, and consequently, a human, one who is seeded by the Holy Spirit, had to counteract the action to redeem the sinful human. In essence, no person of Adam's seed could redeem the world. Of course, the story of the man who did come to redeem the world came from the virgin birth and saved mankind, before he was the sinless son of God. Jesus Christ is the God with each of us that restored humans to God's original plan (Isaiah 61). Thus, your righteousness in Christ is your door to victorious living. He subjected Himself to everything that you could possibly face in life and cancelled out all your problems (Luke 24: 44-46). He suffered pain and died on the cross to destroy the real spiritual death. He went to hell just to take the keys of your inheritance from Satan and give them back to you. These steps had to be taken for complete restoration.

Righteousness through forgiveness is your certificate of membership to occupy your rightful position on earth without fear, trembling, and bondage. You are once more an ambassador of the almighty God when you believe in Christ with willingness. This position comes with a seven-day-a-week, twenty-four-hour-a-day, and fifty-two-week-a-year toll-free number to help you walk this new path. Your new access to God is embedded in your conscience as the Holy Spirit. Your new life comes with the power to change your habits through His words. This is your inheritance in Christ (Acts 26:18; John 8:11-12). In addition, your words also have the power to change things that are preventing you from...
