| Do
you know who first clothed man with coats of skin? It was God Almighty
Himself, when He found Adam and Eve hiding behind the bushes because
they were afraid of Him. They had become fearful and conscious that they
had sinned against God. In their sin-consciousness, they realized that
they were naked and that the glory of God, which had been their
covering, was gone. |

So God killed an animal to clothe Adam and Eve with coats of skin.
(Genesis 3:21) An animal had to die and its bloodied skin became their
covering. This speaks of the blood of Jesus that covers you when He
became your burnt offering. The Lamb of God did not just take away your
sins. He also gave you His righteousness. |

Beloved, you are covered by Jesus’ blood. You are righteous by His
blood. God has clothed you with the robe of righteousness, which was
paid for by Jesus’ blood. I am not talking about a physical robe made of
cloth. I am talking about the robe of righteousness that was on Jesus
when He said to the storm, “Peace, be still!” and there came a perfect
calm (Matthew 8:23–27), when healing flowed from Him to the sick and
when He raised Lazarus from the dead. (John 11:38–44) |

When you believe that you are righteous because of Jesus’ blood, you
will see the effects of wearing His robe of righteousness. You will see
miracles happening before your very eyes. You become a blessing magnet, a
favor or grace magnet. It is not your own righteousness, but the
righteousness of Jesus which you have put on, that is attracting all
these blessings of God into your life. |

My friend, have the consciousness of being clothed with Jesus’ robe of
righteousness. Every day, come to God and say, “Father, I thank You that
Jesus is my burnt offering. He covers me from head to toe with His
righteousness. What He is to You, I am. As He is now, so am I. I am in
Him.” And you will see the manifestations of the blessings of health,
wholeness, protection and prosperity that the robe attracts! |
