BIBLE READING: Psalms 119:9-11
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
MESSAGE:
Today’s memory verse is one of the commandments that many Christians consider to be impossible to fulfil. However, it is very possible to be perfect. Perfection is about wholeness and purity, and it is viewed from three major perspectives in the Bible: physical, moral, and spiritual perfection.
Physical perfection is about being spotless, clean, and healthy on the outside. Moral perfection involves acting in a manner that is perceived as right at all times, whereas spiritual perfection focuses on achieving holiness and sanctification. A fellow who is lacking in any of these perspectives Cannot be said to be perfect. Owing to the belief that it is very difficult for a person to achieve perfection in all of these major perspectives, many people say that no one Can be perfect. However, I believe that since God commanded us to be perfect just as He is, it is achievable. I tell my children in The Redeemed Christian Church of God that no one who dwells in imperfection will make it to heaven; therefore, they must first believe that they can be perfect, and then God will back up their conviction with His grace.
My dear child, only the grace of God can make you perfect; however, you must first believe that it is possible. It is only after you believe that you Can thirst for sanctification and grow in the fruit of the Spirit.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me to be perfect, just as You are.
