Are there ten righteous people in your community?

Are there ten righteous people in your country?

By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. (Proverbs 11:11)

Due to the number of churches in your community you may think that there must be ten righteous people in the land.

However, the outward appearance do not determine the state of the heart. The person may have a form of godliness but deny the truth.

Furthermore, the Bible stated that our righteousness are like filthy rags in the sight of God.

Our good works on earth do not make us righteous. Our education and talents do not make us righteous.

Being faithful members in the church who give our tithes and offerings every Sunday will not make us righteous.

God could not find ten righteous people in the entire city of Sodom and Gomorrah. But, He found Lot who had a form of godliness.

The Lord saved Lot and his family from the destruction of the city because of the covenant of Abraham over them. 

How can we attain righteousness?

When we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and live in obedience to Him it will be counted unto us for righteousness. (Romans 6:16; Genesis 15:6 ).

As a result, when God looks at us He does not see filthy rags. Instead, God sees the righteousness of Jesus Christ in us and we are saved from destruction.

Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

Observe and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy 12:28)

By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. (Proverbs 11:11)God

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.

You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
