The Principle of Righteousness

The Principle Of Righteousness 

" Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. " Proverbs 14:34

Righteousness is the way of Christ for us to obtain godly riches. To be righteous means to have the righteousness of Christ functioning in your life. This means you do the right thing in the sightof God all the time by obeying the word of God. God rewards righteousness in due time, we can be right and do the right thing and at the right time God will bless your works and that is what will bring the godly riches. 

" And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall Reap ,if we faint not " Galatians 6 :9 Righteousness is the principle of doing the right thing all the time. Doing the right business with the right time. The principle of righteousness demands that you don't cheat ,steal, lie, dupe, kill,fraud etc.in your business transactions. You have to do business God's way ,don't be dubious in business deals, because you want to be rich .

Jesus said, "...He that is righteous, let him be righteous still, and he that is holy ,let him be holy still. And behold, let come quickly;  and my reward is with me ,to give every man according as his work shall be. ” Revelation 22 : 11-12 God expects us to serve him faithfully and make sure we are not fraudulent in our business and financial lives .The word of God warns us against ungodly riches in the following scripture.

" Your gold and silver is cankered and the rust of them shall be a witness against you and shall eat your flesh as it were fire .Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold the hire of your labourers who have reaped down your fields,of  which you kept back by fraud, crieth and their cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of  the Lord of sabaoth. " James 5:3-4

These are rich people who use all forms of fraudulent and dubious means to get their wealth. They don't even pay their workers well ,instead use their wages as part of their business capital. These riches are corrupted  (James 5 :2) because they are not gotten by the principle of righteousness and they bring eternal damnation  ( James 5:1)
