Matthew 5:48 (KJV)
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
“No one is perfect!"
How many times have you heard that expression throughout your life? If you’re like me, it might well be countless times. From the playground to the boardroom, and even to the pulpit, this lie has firmly established itself. If you dare utter the words “I am perfect, " folks start calling you prideful. That’s an error!
The Bible says in today’s theme verse, “Be ye perfect even as your heavenly Father is perfect.” The word 'perfect' comes from the Greek word téleios, which means full-grown in maturity, blameless, unspotted; wanting nothing; a completeness. It refers to measuring your heart with the heart of God; and the way to do this is through the Word. This means that you do things as God would have you do them; you let your heart be like God's. You think, love, and forgive as God does because you have His heart.
Brothers and sisters, God would never ask us to do something He knows we can’t do. If He demands perfection of us in the earth, it means it’s possible.
Be perfected in all you do from now, in Jesus' Name!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My words, thoughts and actions are perfect from today! I speak excellence in everything I touch today in Jesus' Name! Amen.
