Be yet not unequally yoked together with unbelievers for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what hath light with darkness?.
2 Corinthians 6 vs 14
According to the English dictionary unrighteousness to adhere to moral principles, thus unrighteousness from God's point of view implies failure to adhere to godly principles. From the verse above, it is clear that God does not want His children to be involved in unrighteousness. Unrighteousness as destroyed many homes, communities and nations. The desire to live outside of God has led many to destruction.
Unrighteousness characterized many faces of lives in our nation today even the Church Of God is not free from this evil disease. The requirement of God is not free from this evil disease. The requirement of God is righteousness within and without. The early church exhibits righteousness in their daily work with God and this made God to manifest His power in their lives and ministries. Enoch walked with God and God took him away from the corruption of this world.
It is unfortunate that the power of God is diminishing among the children of God and the power of the enemy is raging everywhere. Why?
What Can Be Found In The Life Of An Unrighteous Individual
- Disobedience To God
- Dishonesty
- Unholy Living
- Lack Of Integrity
- Focus On Earth than Heaven
- Follow the word of Men/devil instead of God
The Bible requested us to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness. Righteousness grant you acceptance in the sight of God. Unrighteousness makes a person a candidate of hell fire. God expects us to be righteous in all our dealings whether with God or man, in our offices, places of work, business, family , church of God etc, righteousness is required of us. Are you a righteous man or woman?
God hates unrighteousness; His favor is far from an unrighteous person. We are told that "the wicked flee when no man pursueth but the righteous are as bold as a lion.......Whoso ever causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit but the upright shall have good things in his possession.
What Christians Should Avoid
- Wages of Unrighteousness which have forsaken the right way and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness?.
- Association with the Unrighteous as the Bible has warned that that we should not be yoked with unbelievers
- Unrighteous speech/communication
- Unrighteous accumulation of wealth
Consequences Of Unrighteous Living
- inability To experience open heaven
- Experiencing un-answered prayer
- Separation from God
- Eternal Damnation and death

Wow,this is awesome,yea as believers our life should be an example to all,we should live our life based on the standard of God's word and not the worldly system or wisdom,and as believers we are righteous by faith in Christ Jesus,so we should let our righteousness been seen in our everyday life,God's word said,Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
