"Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God" (Romans 6:12-13).

Romans 6:10-11 is the reality of your life in Christ. Youre dead to sin and alive unto God. Youre not under the dominion of sin or death. The old nature that was a slave to sin is deadcrucified with Christand now you live in the newness of life. Youre alive to righteousness, glory, and the Lordship of Jesus.

It helps us understand what the Bible says in Romans 6:12, Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. This means you have authority over your body, over your thoughts, over everything that pertains to you. Youre no longer subject to failure, decay, or destruction.

Youve come out of spiritual death into the realm of lifeGods life. When you touch things, they dont deteriorate; they improve. Why? Because the righteousness of God fixes things; it carries life, success, and glory; and youre the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Think about it: the whole creation is in bondage because of corruption. Everything in the world has been subjected to decay and destruction: For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now (Romans 8:22). But what is the creation waiting for? The preceding verse 19 tells us; it says, For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God

Youre the one to set creation free from the bondage of corruption. Your clothes, your cars, your homeeverything connected to you are meant to reflect and be impacted by the life of God, because as read in our theme scripture, youre an instrument of righteousness. This means wherever you go, things get better. Whoever encounters you is improved, because the righteousness of God functions through you.

Youre a carrier of life, restoration, and glory. You dont just exist; you reign, you fix and renew things. Let this be your consciousness: youre the manifestation of Christs righteousness. You function in His divine order, and His divine power, bringing His glory everywhere.

Confession

Im an instrument of righteousness; I carry the life of God. His glory and wisdom are expressed in and through me. Everything associated with me reflects the righteousness of God. I bring deliverance, restoration, and life to creation. I reign in life as a mature son of God, manifesting His glory always, in Jesus Name. Amen.
