Perfection




Matt 5:1-18
“Be perfect, therefore as your heavenly father is perfect” v18 
 


Once heard a story of a man sitting one day at home with his teenage daughter all of a sudden four healthy young men broke into his house and kidnapped his daughter, with him standing helpless before these four giants. The daughter screened ‘father save me’ the man replied. ‘As you can see Child, I am no match to this feast looking men.’ The daughter’s next response changed the man’s continence ‘What have you done, that you say you can do nothing?’ motivated by the Child’s response, he ran inside the house brought out his cutlass and chased after the kidnappers; the kidnapers turning and saw the man giving a hot chase with a cutlass glinting threw the daughter away and took to their heels.

With the same spirit with the man’s daughter, God is asking today, ‘What have you done to be perfect?’ (Matt 19:21). You keep saying nobody is perfect, but I am sorry to inform you this morning that nothing imperfect would walk into heaven. (Matt 5:5, 2Tim 3:16-17, Col. 1:28)

We have being called unto perfection, so make a resolve to use Gods grace well, to obey him and work daily unto a perfect end, don’t  let any Church  dogma  or  belief’s tell you that you can’t be perfect. Please note we are not preaching work here or becoming a moralist or perfectionist. The Blood of Jesus, Grace and Love are all that is meant to drag us into perfection. (Ps 37:37)
Perfection is paying evil with good!          
Lesson Learnt
If we are serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, we must act like it” Colossians 3:1

Common Sense

Joshua 9:1-26 “The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not enquire of the lord. Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with then to let them live and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath”. V 14-15. The issue of using ones common sense has been an issue of division among the body of Christ, even in this generation of motivational speakers. Men are neglecting the place of consulting God on critic issues or even smaller matter like traveling. And some of this issues or matters have brought some great trouble to the body of Christ, individuals or  some trouble the Nation is facing now. From the Bible passage above, (Exodus 34:11-16) we saw how Joshua, a great servant of God, with the Israelite felled into this trap of common sense, because humanly speaking, checking of the provisions of the deceptive Gibeonite, was what common sense would do, but for them, they’ve forgotten that their life or being has gone beyond commonsense, God has been givi...

Family Prayer Series III: ALIGN WITH GOD

Reading & Meditation Joshua 24:1-15 “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” 15c We bless God for another gift of a day. We are still on the issue of the praying family. Another suggestion in helping our family pray together is the issue of aligning with God. Joshua from our today’s, passage, understood God’s purpose for himself and family, and would have probably be teaching them, practicing and obeying them with his family as instructed by God in Deuteronomy. This made him stand to the end, and at his good old age, he was still with God and could declare for his family; that they are partner with the Lord, till death. For your family to begin praying, then you must align with God’s plan and purpose. Before praying as a family, the family purpose and plans must be known by all members involved, provided they can understand issues of life. The place of your family in God’s scheme should be sought in prayer first. And over all, our goal in prayer ...
