Memorise: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven
is perfect. Matthew 5:48
This perfection is available if we can believe God for it and surrender
to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. In Christ, there is never an end to spiritual
growth because He is infinite. Hence, we must be ready to go further and
further with God until we come to the level of His perfection when we do not
see ourselves any longer but it becomes all about Him. If we don’t align
ourselves to this requirement, we will never be carriers of His glory.
Perfection is the premise upon which the rest of our walk with God will be
assessed. The moment we begin this walk of perfection, we begin to attract
divine presence and easily draw God’s glory daily.
Perfection makes you a threat to the kingdom of darkness. Right from my
early days as General Overseer, I had learnt the secret of my victory through
the authority of His Name and a walk of perfection. You just notice that you
become a carrier of His presence, and at the mere sight of your person, demons begin to flee because of the
presence of God overshadowing you. The reason many Christians have not fully
benefited from the Lord is because they are not prepared to make the sacrifice
of walking in perfection. They see it as unrealistic. They easily rationalise
it as an impossible feat. Hence, the Devil uses this ignorance to deny them their
rightful place in God’s program. God should be able to predict your actions.
Perfection earns you a trust in God. There is a need to change your mindset so
that the blessings of God concerning your life will not be hampered.
There is an aspect of you not yet discovered because you are still far
from God. The devil is aware of what havoc you will cause to his domain the
moment you make up your mind to walk in perfection. God wants to do some things
in your life that will cause the ears of people around you to tingle, but you
must be ready to walk before God in purity and perfection. If it was impossible
for Abraham to walk perfectly before God, God wouldn’t have made such a demand,
moreover, the demand was for his good, and this is why you need to understand
that walking before the Lord in perfection makes God committed to make you
exceedingly great.
Prayer Point: Father, please grant me the grace to walk perfectly before
you.
Read: Genesis 17:1-7 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine,
the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk
before me, and be thou perfect. 2 And I will make my covenant
between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3 And Abram fell on his face: and
God talked with him, saying, 4 As for me, behold, my covenant
is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5 Neither
shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a
father of many nations have I made thee. 6 And I will make thee
exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out
of thee. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee
and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be
a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Bible in one year: Joshua 8:30-10:28, Job 35:9-36:4
