THE POTENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14:34
= Righteousness has power to exalt. = Sin has power to demote.
THE POTENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
Righteousness can exalt a whole nation of over 2 billions population. If righteousness has the power to exalt a nation, definitely it can exalt a city, a family, or a person.
EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE EXALTED BY RIGHTEOUSNESS:
Moses, Joseph, David, Daniel, Ester etc.
EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE DEMOTED BY SIN:
Lucifer, Adam, King Saul, Nebuchadnezzar, Judas Iscariot, The list is long.
Sin is a tyrant; Don't play with sin at all, if you do; it will demote you.
S-I-N is: *SATAN IN NATURE *SICKNESS IS NATURAL *SUCCESS IN NOTHING
(To be free from sin you need a transformation)

Titus 2:11-14
