READ RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. THE WORD PERFECT US - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME. WEDNESDAY 20TH JULY 2016.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: That the man of God maybe perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all
good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
The scripture above tells us how to make our
lives balanced and perfect: it’s with the Word of God. The King James uses the
word “perfect,” rendered “artios” in Greek, which means “a freshness in
completeness.” In today’s language, it means to be “up-to-date” or “updated.”
So, the Scriptures are there for you to “update” and upgrade your life unto
perfection.
Anyone would be making a big mistake to think
they can live a glorious life, devoid of errors, if they ignored the
Scriptures. If you want to live in the perfect will of God, pleasing Him in all
things, living the Word is the only way. The Word is given to us to guide us,
correct us, build and shape our character in righteousness and true holiness.
If you’re not following the Scriptures
properly, you’ll make king-sized errors—embarrassing but avoidable mistakes.
Jesus said in Matthew 22:29 NIV, “You are in error because you do not know the
Scriptures or the power of God.” The more you study the Word, the more you
minimize your errors, and ultimately become perfect. One of the definitions of
success is the ability to minimize errors.
Don’t keep making the same mistakes you made
years ago. To keep repeating your mistakes means there’s no growth. But with
the abundance of God’s Word in your heart, you’ll grow unto perfection, and
mistakes will be eliminated. Let the Word dwell in you richly; it’ll give you
the advantage, and make you perfect in all things. Give it first place in your
life, and see the perfections of the Spirit become manifest in your life and in
all that you do.
