E X P O S I T O R Y TEACHING FOR SERIOUS CHRISTIANS WORLDWIDE - CHRISTIAN PERFECTION IN THE END TIME

- My dearly beloved Friends, calvary greetings to you all in Jesus powerful Name.  Are you a SERIOUS CHRISTIAN?  If yes, then this teaching is for you. Go ahead reading it and meditate on it and take action! But if your answer is No, don't bother yourself to read it! We are here with a special teaching that is designed to take you to a new level of knowledge in your Christian journey. We are talking about CHRISTIAN PERFECTION, especially in this end time.  In Mt 5:48, Jesus says "Be ye therefore PERFECT even as your Father which is in heaven is Perfect" This is a direct instruction and command from our Master Jesus Christ who knows everything. This command has no option or alternative to it. You are either perfect for you to make it to heaven or you forget about going to heaven. Period! There are some Christians who always Comfort themselves, using an adage that says "A human being is like a fish in the ocean that cannot do without water" What they are saying here is that human beings cannot live on this earth without Committing sins! Let me tell you point blank, this proverb or adage does not hold water when it comes to Christian perfection as demanded in the scriptures. God wants His children to be perfect like Himself. Note, if it were not possible in our Christian lives, Jesus wound not have given that instruction! The members of the Early Church walked in the light of perfection in their days and finished their mission successfully. The Apostle Paul emphasized on that command when he said ".... let us go on unto perfection..." Heb 6:1. To be specific in this special Teaching, let us highlight some cogent issues: A. WHAT IS CHRISTIAN PERFECTION?  Simply put, it means Christian maturity! This is the situation where a Christian has graduated from a  baby Christian to an adult Christian. The Apostle Paul lamented seriously over the immaturity of his Hebrew brethren. Heb 5:12-14. They were not mature In the faith. And they were not even aspiring to be mature. Rather they were always set to attack the truth as some Christians are doing today. They are not ready to check their lives and adjust, rather they keep on attacking the revelation of Truth that is coming out! This is pathetic. Note, Christian perfection or maturity is not one day job. It is a gradual process. It is gradually you will become free from sins, bitterness of mind, fighting, anger to mention a few, thereby you will become perfect. You need to keep on doing something about your Christian life or character, walking toward perfection everyday. B. THE AGENTS OF PERFECTION -  From Bible study and spiritual understanding, we came to realise that there are three Principal Agents of Christian perfection. 1. The Word of God. This is the number one agent of our perfection. The word of God is the 'water of God' which He uses to wash away our sins. Jesus told His Disciples that they were clean through the WORD which He had spoken to them. John 15:3. In Eph 5:26, we read "That He Might sanctify and cleanse it with the WASHING of WATER by the Word" The word of God is the water of God which He uses in washing away our sins. That is, when you listen to the word of God and accept it into your heart, it washes away your sins and makes you perfect before God. 2. The Blood of Jesus. The second Agent of our perfection is the precious Blood of Jesus. In 1John 1:7, the Bible says the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sins! I can tell you, the blood of Jesus is God's 'detergent' which He uses to remove heavy stains from our souls! That is why the  Bible says without the shedding of blood there is no remission. Heb 9:22. That is why without the application of the blood of Jesus no human being will be saved. 3. The Holy Spirit. The next most powerful Agent in our Christian perfection is the Holy Spirit. The Bible talks about the surrendering of the Gentiles to Christ as being sanctified (perfected) by the Holy Ghost! Rom 15:16. Without the operation of the Holy Spirit, no Christian will attain God's standard of perfection as demanded in the Bible. You can now see from the above analysis that the three agents of perfection (The Word, The Blood and the Holy Spirit) God has provided work together for our Christian perfection or maturity. You can now see that God has made every provision for the Christian's perfection on this earth. This is a deep revelation for those who are hungry for the Truth. However, there are some things that a Christian needs to do to compliment God's efforts to perfect his or her Christian life. For instance, the Christian needs to submit himself or herself to the teachings of the Bible, apply the blood of Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to work in his or her life to perfect his or her Christian life! Every Christian needs to do this voluntarily. If not, even though God has released His word, the blood of Jesus has been shed and the Holy Spirit is available for you, yet you will not live the life of perfection as God has commanded. C.  AREAS OF CHRISTIAN PERFECTION.  On this note, i would like to itemize some areas that every Christian must cooperate with God for Christian perfection and maturity.  1. Willingness to live a practical Christian life. The Bible says Jesus began to do what He was teaching His followers. Acts 1:1. A Christian must be willing to live a practical Christian life. Christianity is not theory but practical living,, doing what you are learning. See Judges 7:17. That is Christianity. 2. The Christian's relationship with God and man! This is a very important area in our Christian perfection. Your relationship with God must be cordial. As a Christian you must not allow anything to come between you and your God. Is it marriage, business, money or anything in this world. And also for you to be perfect as a Christian, you must maintain a good relationship with your neighbours including your perceived enemies. The Bible says we should live in peace with all men both in the family, neighbourhood and Office or market places! Heb 12:14. Every Christian must work to perfect this area. 3. Living above sins! This is another vital area you must work toward perfection. You need to be free from sins. The Bible says shall we Continue in sins that grace may abound? Rom 6:1. Some Christians have spent so many years in the faith, yet they are still struggling with sins. Some are not free from alcohol, concubines outside their matrimonial homes, telling lies, worldliness and carnality etc. These types of Christians are not working toward perfection. These are the Christians that are full of arguments against the truth and fault findings against the true Ministers of God! May God deliver them in Jesus Mighty Name. 4. Christian dressing. This is another vital area every Christian should examine and work toward perfection. God is not only concerned about our inward disposition but He is seriously concerned about our physical appearance. Don't let any misguided preacher deceive you on this matter. Try and perfect your Christian dressing before it will be too late for you. Always dress as a Christian and as a daughter of Sarah and stop dressing and appearing like Unbelievers and daughters of Jezebel. Read 1Pet 3:3-5, compd 2Kgs 9:30. This area of indecent dressing especially women, has sent millions of souls to hell fire and they will be there throughout eternity! Be warned!!! 5. Restitution and settling of debts. Some Christians don't know that these things are very important. Do you know that owing a person and refusing to pay until you die can stop you from going to heaven? The Bible says we should owe no man anything except love. Friend, you need to do your restitution such as marriage, illegal wealth, stealing from the Office etc and pay your debts and perfect your Christian life for the Rapture! 6. Preaching of the Truth and stop deceiving people as a Minister of God. If as a Pastor, Evangelist, Bishop or Apostle, you are used to preaching prosperity, Success, victory and breakthroughs without telling the people about the salvation of their souls, you better change now! Do you know that as a Minister of God, you will give account of your preaching and teachings on the last day? My fellow Minister, begin to examine your messages and start perfecting yourself in this area. Finally, Christian perfection or maturity is all about growing in the grace and In the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the willingness to practice what you are learning, growing from stage to stage until you will become perfect as God has ordained for His children worldwide! SPECIAL PRAYER POINT - O Lord, grant me the grace to be PERFECT as you commanded in your word before the Rapture will take place in Jesus victorious Name. Amen. May the Lord in His multitude of mercies, perfect you and me to meet in heaven in Jesus glorious Name. Amen and Amen!!
