The Perfection is in Words


“For in many things we offend all, if any man offends not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bride the whole body” James 3:2
In the kingdom of God, perfection is viewed from a different perspective to what the world says. To most people, a perfect man or woman is the one whose actions and behavior are perfect. however, the word of God shows us that to God, a perfect man or woman is the one whose words are perfect. The Living Bible puts the opening scripture this way: “if anyone can control his tongue, it proves that he has perfect control over himself in every other way”. “Can you see that? If your tongue is talking the right way, then you are a perfect man and your entire life will fall in line, because your tongue controls your life.
If I want to know the maturity of a Christian, all I need to do is to listen to that person talk for a few minutes. How do you talk? What kind of words come out of your mouth in your “unguarded moments”?  That’s the true reflection of your Christian maturity. No matter how seeming perfect a person’s acts are, his words will always locate him. The character of your life is the character of your words and this is why perfection in God’s eyes is located in your mouth: if you would get your words right, your body will follow. Fill your heart and mind with the Word of God, such that when you speak, that’s what come out. The Lord Jesus said, “…by thy words thou shall be justified, and by thy words thou shall be condemned” Matthew 12:37. Speak God’s Words always, not your feelings. you must also get rid of cursing, abusive language and complaining from your vocabulary. Learn to praise. Bless and give thanks. The more disciplined your tongue is in speaking the right words. The more mature you are  in Christ, and the more perfect you are.

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
