A WORD TO THE RIGHTEOUS

Isaiah 3:10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

In Christ Jesus, we’ve been made the righteousness of God; not by our works but by faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. In our opening scripture, the Holy Spirit points to us an important message the righteous man needs to hear all the time. And that message is, “it is well”. The word “well” is from the Hebrew word “towb” which means beautiful, best, better, bountiful, cheerful, favor, graciously, prosperity, and wealth. It implies nothing wanting – being fully supplied on every side – emotionally, spiritually and physically and financially. This is the message the righteous in Christ needs to hear.

The word says to tell the righteous that it is well. By the Spirit I say to you again: It is well with you. If you want to go into deeper study, in our opening scripture the words: it, shall, be, with, and him are all in italics in the King James Version of the Bible. It means they were not in the original Hebrew language – it implies that the translators put it there. So when you remove them, Isaiah 3:10a reads thus: Say ye to the righteous, that well. This is deep. So we are to proclaim over God’s people wellness, favor, bounty, prosperity. This is a little bit different from just saying it is well with you. And if that is the message we need to hear, then, that should be our confession. But there are religious folks who have something against the message of prosperity. If you don’t believe in the prosperity message, you won’t prosper. Simple!

When you wake up in the morning say to yourself, well, favor, prosperity and grace. Even in the midst of difficult situations say, “It is well”. When the Shunamite woman’s son died and she went to Elisha, and he asked her how she was faring, she did not fall apart like a two dollar suit case, but she declared, “It is well”. These are the words you should proclaim over your life. This should be your language and what should guide your utterance. Thus anything that is not consistent with these words you are not supposed to receive, hear and confess them. Next time someone ask how are you? Say, “It is well”. I say to you, it is well because you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
