D.U.C.E. (a word that also  means "Leader" and comes from an Italian tradition according to the Webster Dictionary). This page will expose many leadership issues. D.U.C.E. is also my personal acronym of my own leadership style.  Dedication (1 Peter 1:13-16  same as faithfulness), Unity (Ephesians 4:1-8 same as team work), Courage (John 2:13-21 same as mettle), and Enthusiam (1 Corinthians 9:19-27 same as self- motivation and passion).   

RIGHTEOUSNESS                   

Summer Season,  2010 

Righteousness is the most interesting and yet poorly appreciated word in the Bible. We have heard this word so many times and it has become a word that many people have taken for granted. They say to have or be the righteousness of God and yet are not living it. God is the only one who is righteous because He alone possesses all the true and good qualities (love, justice, holiness, truth, mercy, wisdom, and power) and keeps them in perfection and in perfect balance. We can’t (James 2:10)!

You are either living in your own righteousness ( and still unbalanced),or God's righteousness in you by His Son (perfect balance of all good things).

Righteousness is all virtues in perfection and perfect balance, any infringement threatens the collapse of the entire structure. God not only requires goodness, He requires righteousness (Ezekiel 18:4).

People can preach that you are already righteousness in Him, but I am sorry to believe the contrary. Rigtheousness can only be fully apprehended at your final phase in your journey, Righteousness is a sign of maturity, just like salvation is progressive, righteousness is also manifested by true LOVE.

Your journey began with Faith (1^st room), you were then transformed by Hope (2^nd room) but it is finally consumed by Love (3^rd room).

God has a way to retain His holiness, justice and truth and yet show mercy by His own LOVE. God is wisdom and by His power, He made it available to us by the incarnation of His own Son. As LOVE was manifested and personified in His Son, God’s righteousness (perfect balance) could be fully put to man’s account. The Son of God became the Son of Man so that He might bring mankind into perfect balance (righteousness); that’s how our tri-partite being – spirit soul and body is being redeemed. Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, mercy and truth have met together, righteousness and peace have kissed each other, truth shall now spring out of the earth and righteousness shall look down from heaven (Psalm 85:10-11).

This is how LOVE operates giving room to righteousness to travel from heaven to earth and from earth to heaven. There is an extraordinary period of God in which He will display great acts of His righteousness in this earth and you are part of it.
