MEMORIZE : Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect. MATTHEW 5 : 48.
READ : GENESIS 17 : 1 - 7 :
1
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. #

MESSAGE :
During the January 2015 Ministers’ Thanksgiving, the Lord asked me
to make our ministers examine themselves and be sure that they were
100% perfect. After the meeting, one of my children said that some
ministers were asking whether it was possible to be 100% perfect.
What such brethren don’t know is that the demand for perfection has
been from the Old Testament. Another thing they don’t know is that
perfection is not an optional virtue.
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.

# HYMN 4 :
TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE
1. Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2. Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
3. Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.
4. Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
5. Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
6. Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
Prayer is the key! In god we Trust... Have a Fulfilled day ahead..
