To pursue godly righteousness, here’s one practical thing you should do:

Acknowledge first and foremost that you already have the gift of righteousness.

“For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.”
Romans 5: 17

Begin with what God has already done in your life. He has already made you righteousness in your spirit. He has already given you His life. He has justified you through faith in Jesus by His blood. You are now accepted before Him. It is important that you acknowledge that.

“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.”
~ Romans 5:1-2

You always have to remind yourself that you have the gift of righteousness. This means that you have the nature of God. You have the capability, the potential, and the power to think right, to speak right, and to do right. Always, each day, tell God, “I thank you for the gift of righteousness.” Whenever you thank God for what he has done in your life, that multiplies.

The bible says:

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
~Philemon 1:6(KJV)

So when you acknowledge the righteousness that God has already given to you as a gift, the communication of that righteousness becomes powerful and effectual.

Memory Verse:
Philemon 1:6(KJV)
“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of righteousness that You gave me. Thank you that I have the capability and potential to think and do right, in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
