THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN

Revelation 12:10 NLT
Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, “It has come at last— salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth— the one who accuses them before our God day and night.

OH Men! the accuser roams the earth beware, as we can confirm it in Job 1:7 KJ And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

Do not ever think that he has giving up from roaming the earth looking for whom to accuse and devour. He is still actively moving, in fact he moves more now than he had ever moved the earth.

Walk with me while we unravel the truth of the scripture to expose this accuser on the loose.

In this present time, the devil has harnessed the weapon of guilt as an evidence of his accusations towards the children of God.

No doubt when a person falls out of grace and is overwhelmed by sin, he or she begins to feel guilty of their sins and by every means lost the courage to pray, lost the confidence to be called a righteous, and even hide themselves from the presence of God just like Adam and Eve did in Genesis 3:8

Why must it take you till forever to realize that whenever you subject yourself to living in sin, you lost control over yourself, your mind and your life thereby holding you bound under the control, manipulations and influence of demons.

Perhaps the devil has whispered his accusations in your head telling you that your sin is too heavy for God to forgive or you have found yourself so deeply in sin and you feel it's too late to turn back to God again, by these means making you his eternal prisoner of guilt.

Do you find yourself in the arms of a brother or that sister whom you are not married to but comfortably living in fornication with them?, or you suddenly find yourself battling with adultery whilst married, probably you are trapped in the web of ma********on for long that the devil had said it's impossible to stop, or you have seen money through online and offline scams and you are afraid to go back to poverty if you stop? Oh you have delved deeply into rituals, occultisms, Witchcraft, and all sorts of spiritism practices and the devil has threatened you with taking your soul?

These and more oh brethren are the traps of guilt the devil uses to accuse and constantly enslave men by constantly whispering into their head telling them how far they have gone into sin and preaching impossibility of repentance to them therefore holding them captive and pushing them to hell.

Just like he followed Joshua the high priest to accuse him in Zechariah 3:1 NLT
Then the angel showed me Jeshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD. The Accuser, Satan, was there at the angel’s right hand, making accusations against Jeshua.

But I have a good news for you men and brethren, I bring you the good news of reconciling you back to our Maker and Father through my Lord and savior Jesus Christ who spoke in Isaiah 44:22 NLT saying unto you
I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.”

Do not pay attention to the fatal lies of the devil for though he accuses the brethren but we have an advocate (A Lawyer) who defends us daily seeing we become victorious against the accusations of the devil.
Read John 15:26 NLT
“But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.

Just like Joshua the high priest was defended before Satan in Zechariah 3:2-4 NLT
And the LORD said to Satan, “I, the LORD, reject your accusations, Satan. Yes, the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you. This man is like a burning stick that has been snatched from the fire.” 3Jeshua’s clothing was filthy as he stood there before the angel. 4So the angel said to the others standing there, “Take off his filthy clothes.” And turning to Jeshua he said, “See, I have taken away your sins, and now I am giving you these fine new clothes.”

Therefore turn to Jesus and accept a new life which my Lord gives unto you through his salvation that you may be free from the traps, guilt and accusations of Satan.

And as you strive to come out from the grip of Satan's accusations may you receive help through the Holy Spirit by Christ Jesus to live according to Gods standard and free from every accusations of the devil in Jesus Mighty name Amen

I hope this message meets you well in the love of Christ.

OH! MORTAL CONTROL YOUR APPETITE

Proverbs 23:1-3 NKJV
When you sit down to dine with a ruler, Consider carefully what is before you, And put a knife to your throat If you are a man of great appetite. Do not desire his delicacies, For it is deceptive food.

With great understanding and light of the truth, kindly walk with me while we uncover the plague ravaging men upon the earth through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Appetite or desire has been the most consuming plague leading humans to sin, destruction, death and finally hell since mankind existed.

If I start making references in the bible, we will find out that most or all the names and illustrations of men and women who failed in their destinies were tied to their fleshy desires and appetite.

Without exaggeration, lets see a few scriptural evidence.
Genesis 25:29-34 Here Esau sold his birthright to satisfy his immediate hunger.
Numbers 11:33-34 Here the Lord struck the people because of their greed.
Judges 16:4-21 Here Samson fell because of his immoral lust.
2 Kings 20:13-20 Here Hezekiah sold his next generation for selfish fame and and glory.

The reference list can go on and on if space permits but let's come to our todays world.

A man is a tripartite being made up of spirit, soul, and body, we are a spirit who was given a mind(soul) to function in a body(container). The soul is where the will, the emotion, the intellect, the imagination, and the memory is built, while the body is only made up of only desire and want apart from the physical features, .

The appetite comes from the satisfaction of the desire and want of the body. Today why do young men get involved with fraud and rituals, why do young ladies sale out their body, why do friends betray friends, why have all forms of lust and immorality ravaged our society, why is wickedness increasing in the world, why have envy, strife, jealousy, covetousness, unloving, slander, unforgiveness, hate and more eaten deep into every human.

They all boils down to satisfying the desire and wants of the body, unfortunately, many have sat down before this ruler whom proverbs 23:1-3 was referring to and have traded their soul before him because they are people of appetite and greed longing to have all their body craves for.

Many fell and blame it on the devil or say it's temptation but the bible let us understand in 1 Corinthians 10:13 NLT
The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

But you choose not to follow the way of endurance, the way of the cross, the way out because you are blinded by your appetite and not inclined in the way of the spirit.

Those who conquered were tempted too, they also sat before that same ruler who presented before them his delicacies, but because they have made Christ their role model, they have chosen the way of the cross, they know how to control their appetite, they walk in the spirit therefore subjecting their flesh to control.

James 1:14-16 NKJV
But each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.

So what is your excuse dear brethren, oh please don't tell me your family has suffered too much, don't give me the excuse that he threatened to terminate your employment, did he also tell you that you won't get high grades or graduate if you don't navigate to that hotel address, oh come on is it because he's the only person who pays your school fees and takes care of your bills.

How long will you continue to break God's heart because of your appetite. Behold I cometh not to judge nor condemn you but to reunite you again with the love of the Father through the gospel of reconciliation by Christ Jesus.

For only in Christ can you be able to overcome and have the control over this desires and wants of the flesh, only in Christ can you have victory before that ruler whenever he presents his delicacies before you again.

Because Galatians 5:24-25 NLT confirms it firmly
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

This is the victory in Christ Jesus as His spirit will help you anytime and every time according to Galatians 5:16 NLT
So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.

And as you strive to control your appetite, may you receive help through the Holy Spirit by Christ Jesus to live according to Gods standard and free from every condemnation and death in Jesus Mighty name Amen.

I hope this message meets you well in the love of Christ.

THE BODY DIVIDED

1 Corinthians‬ ‭1:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?”

Let me rephrase this verse,
"Is Christ divided? Was your pastor or prophet crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of your pastor or prophet?"

Oh! I weep for my people and I ask as well, who are you preaching? Christ or yourself? or have you another Lord?

John‬ ‭7:16‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“So Jesus told them, “My message is not my own; it comes from God who sent me.”

I ask again, who are you preaching about?

The Lord Jesus always tells his disciples that he’s not doing his own will but the will of the Father who has sent him and whatever he sees his Father do, that he does also.

Can my generation boldly speak the same words before men without being criticized or called a liar?

John‬ ‭7:18‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“Those who speak for themselves want glory only for themselves, but a person who seeks to honor the one who sent him speaks truth, not lies.”

This was how separation came about into the body of Christ when men choose to glorify themselves instead of the one who sent them, thereby preaching all manner of lies and doctrines that causes divisions and making disciples for themselves.

Beyond doubt, even the blind knows that the church which is supposed to be the unified body is no longer one and it’s getting more divided as days go by.

Matthew‬ ‭15:8-9‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.’”

Just as the Bible tells us that these men consciously teach their assumptions through the gospel and thus, say it’s from God.

Though each part of the body is uniquely designed for a specific function, today almost every part is busy seeking personal recognition and special relevance.

And because they have separated themselves from the true vine (Jesus Christ) who sent them with a message to the body but ended up preaching themselves instead of Christ, and now their voices seem like fading away, then they subjected to controversial doctrinal teachings that cause confusion and more divisions.

1 Timothy‬ ‭6:3-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions, and constant friction between people of corrupt minds, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.”

The level of controversies growing within the body in these last days is becoming alarming as everyone wants their voice to be heard, they want to be on the news headline, and that’s why they create controversies using the name of Christ to keep their relevance.

Philippians‬ ‭1:15‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“It’s true that some are preaching out of jealousy and rivalry. But others preach about Christ with pure motives.”

Many churches are separated from the whole body in the name of doctrines that do not preach Christ yet under the guise of personal revelation, but they are cut off from functioning, for Christ is no longer found in their gospel but in self-gratification.

2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:5‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake.”

In this generation, true evangelism is dying off, what we see now is the gospel of followership to become a partaker in their doctrines, even the people who receive this invitation are confused because there’re lots of voices and only a few points to the Savior Jesus.

When you wake up to hear 15 different voices at the same time from the loudspeakers mounted on the streets because 15 different churches are scattered across a single street dragging who will be the loudest meanwhile there are places in remote places where Christ has never been preached.

Romans‬ ‭15:20‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else.”

Many have abandoned their primary function and created disciples for themselves in the quest of who will be the best, then end up not representing Christ who should be the spotlight of the gospel.

While many have introduced features that were not primarily in their original assignment, so they can "fit in" into this present-time church function.

Romans‬ ‭16:17-18‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.”

And as you strive to remain unified with Christ, may you receive help through the Holy Spirit by Christ Jesus to live according to God's standard and free from division in Jesus' saving name Amen.

I hope this message meets you well in the love of Christ.

THE DEATH SENTENCE OF DEATH

Revelation‬ ‭20:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death.”

Can death die?

Death they say is inevitable, but it’s not the most powerful, and it’s not eternal, as men tend to be more afraid of it than anything else in existence.

Bringing to your understanding that death was defeated by one man who through him immortality was revealed.

2 Timothy‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”

Now can you answer the above question? if death can die, knowing what the Bible reveals concerning death, yes, and death shall come to an end, for it shall have no power over mankind anymore.

This gospel here is the reason for the coming, the death, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, "that you may have life and have it abundantly", which is the crown of immortality in eternity.

John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

Before enlightening more on Christ who conquered death for us, many in the Bible stood up to the face of death unafraid.

These are men like Daniel, who was thrown into the lion's den, men like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who were thrown into the fiery furnace, the Apostles who in the face of death consistently preached the gospel, and many more in faith.

Knowing well what the Bible says in

Luke‬ ‭17:33‬ ‭AMP‬‬
“Whoever seeks to save his life will [eventually] lose it [through death], and whoever loses his life [in this world] will keep it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God].”

These men stood before death and looked through its eyes unafraid, in sequence to their readiness to pour out, they had their life preserved.

Now speaking of Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, who defeated death and made a public spectacle of them all.

Revelation‬ ‭1:18‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.”

Jesus through the power of the cross defeated death and he gave us the same power through the gospel, as many who believe and accept shall have the power to overcome death and hell, thereafter shall be clothed with immortality never to die the second death or be afraid of death again.

Matthew‬ ‭10:28‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Furthermore, Paul an apostle of Jesus through the gospel told us how he gave his life for the gospel to partake in the resurrection because he wanted to know the power that rose Christ from death, therefore, he saw himself as already dead to flesh, not being afraid to die.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:31‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Knowing that death is not an actual death for those who accept Christ but a transition to immortality in the glory of eternity where you won’t have to die again or experience the second death which is hell.

Paul was ready anytime, in fact, he sees death as an opportunity to go and receive immortality in eternity, an opportunity to die became his motivation because he understood what Jesus did on the cross when he ask death where is it victory and sting.

1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:55‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”

Now the big examination is, are you ready? If death or transition comes at you now, will you be afraid because the second death awaits, or will you be motivated to go dwell in eternity?

1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:56-57‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Is Jesus Christ your Lord or are you yet to receive him?

Will you not choose immortality over death by accepting the life eternal Jesus has for you today and live like Paul who saw the limitations of death through Jesus’s victory, knowing that death is just a transition and not an actual death?

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4:6-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.”

And as you accept Jesus as your Lord and life, may you receive help through the Holy Spirit by Christ Jesus to live according to God's standard and continue in your salvation in Jesus' saving name Amen.

I hope this message meets you well in the love of Christ.

THE MIND TRAP (FEAR)

II Timothy‬ ‭1:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

Fear
A strategy of Satan to imprison your growth.

While growing up, you may hear such words from your friends "You no get liver/mind" whenever you exhibit fears.

How does such a metaphorical word connect to fear? Because it deals with the mind.

The mind is the center where every warfare takes place, both the attack and defense strategies, both courage and fears originated from it.

A lot of people on purpose ended up in this mental prison, but only a few were able to break out from it through the help of God when he adorns us with the gift of a sound mind.

Many promising destinies have been halted or aborted and even redirected as a result of this trap.

That’s why the Bible tells us to let God help us mold our thinking patterns into a form where we will divinely know his will for us, thereby putting us on a path of constant victories in every battle.

Romans‬ ‭12:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”

The prime targets of this prison are people of intelligence, people on purpose, and people on the mandate.

Yes, these people progress with their minds when it’s sound then somehow find themselves stuck at a crossroads in their paths which may result in delays, abortion of missions, diversions of pathways, redirections, and retrogression.

Some may end up depressed, some frustrated and some discouraged in the course of this mental prison.

This’s because they were distracted by things that satan used to diverge their focus from their original mindset, therefore, fear grew in them which resultantly trapped their growth.

Colossians‬ ‭3:2‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”

Satan knew that an unstable mind cannot make tangible progress, he also knew that a troubled heart cannot fully carry out destiny duties, so he deploys the mind trap strategy to cause chaos in those who have been given important kingdom mandates that requires intelligence to be fulfilled.

1 Peter‬ ‭1:13‬ ‭NLT
“So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.”

Know when satan throws things at you, know when he’s creating diversions on your path, know when he’s sending his army of fear to imprison your mind.

By first meditating on things above and things that complement your purpose

Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”

Then you will be well equipped to come to knowledge, with ideas of the strategies of the mind trap of satan.

This will open you up to the will of God over your life and you will understand that He cares for you whilst you’re on your mission to fulfill your purpose.

1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭AMP‬‬
“casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].”

Only then will you be able to communicate with God efficiently without fears, worry, and anxieties, and finally you will find peace when you pray because you already know that he cares and has answered you.

Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

And as you strive to escape satan’s mind trap, may you receive help through the Holy Spirit by Christ Jesus to live according to God's standard as you fulfill your purpose in Jesus' gracious name Amen.

I hope this message meets you well in the love of Christ.

ANOINTED BUT FALLEN

Ezekiel‬ ‭28:14-15‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“I ordained and anointed you as the mighty angelic guardian. You had access to the holy mountain of God and walked among the stones of fire. “You were blameless in all you did from the day you were created until the day evil was found in you.”

A time like this when millions of voices are speaking at the same time, and men are confused about whose to follow.

In this season where the sphere of influence rest on the shoulder of the media, where everything is visible before you and nothing is hidden anymore.

It’s crystal clear to us that we’re in the last days when many are being deceived because they’re ignorant to the truth that should have set them free.

If satan who was once an anointed, once occupied a high-ranking position yet caused the fall of one-third of the host of angels from heaven along with him, and is still roaming the earth deceiving anointed believers just like he was onetime, to lead in his rebellious pattern, trust me, many known anointed and influentials has fallen and are leading many souls to hell without their followers realizing.

Matthew‬ ‭7:22-23‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.”

Who are they?

They’re the same people whom you have known, the same people you run to for help, the same people you thought are representing God, the same people whom you seek counsel from, the same people who govern and still preach to you, they’re the same people who once led you to Christ.

2 Timothy‬ ‭3:6-7‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“They are the kind who work their way into people’s homes and win the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires. (Such women are forever following new teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth.)”

Beware of them! For they are mounted at all positions of influence to deceive as many who lack the truth of light.

They may still preach the same way they used to preach at first, they still heal the sick, raise the dead, and many signs and wonders can still be visible through them, in fact, they still convey such wisdom and intelligence that once attracted you to them, because the anointing and gifts are irrevocable but yet have fallen from their Eden. Beware of them.

Romans‬ ‭11:29‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.”

The Bible urges us to stay away from them in 2 Timothy 3:1-5, when you discern the spirit that works in them please separate yourself from them so they don’t drag you down with them to partake in their eternal doom, you can’t risk your eternity whilst following them because you love them, satan can never repent but you can resist him by staying away from his deception and influence.

Hebrews‬ ‭6:4-6‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.”

And as you strive to remain standing with God, may you receive help through the Holy Spirit by Christ Jesus to live according to God's standard and free from the deception of satan in Jesus' saving name Amen.

I hope this message meets you well in the love of Christ.

BE THOU PERFECT

Genesis‬ ‭17:1‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life.”

This writing is not about being a perfectionist but aligning your mind towards the conformity of sonship to reflect more like Christ Jesus.

The phrase "NOBODY IS PERFECT“ was coined by men who struggle to attain perfection by their strength alone, then end up finding themselves in that very nature they wish to come out from, in ignorance of the help of the Holy Spirit who makes all things perfect, Making them conclude that nobody can be perfect.

Romans‬ ‭12:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”

No wonder Paul found this secret and revealed it in Romans 7:14-25 which brings us to the understanding of working towards perfection with the help of Christ.

Let’s see Romans‬ ‭7:18-19‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.”

No doubt all have sinned and fallen short, but when you ignorantly dwell in your sinful nature or you find yourself continuing in sin and asking for forgiveness repeatedly, then you’re not of God but of the devil, because the spirit of God that is present in you will draw you towards perfection where you will lose the nature to return to sin.

Philippians‬ ‭3:12‬ ‭GNT‬‬
“I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I keep striving to win the prize for which Christ Jesus has already won me to himself.”

Though we ought to work out our salvation with trembling and with fear, as though we race for a crown, for It all depends on our decision whether we’re willing to align with Christ until we’re fully conformed to perfection, or you choose to be a hypocritical wolf who hides under the garment of a sheep deceiving men.

Philippians‬ ‭2:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear.”

God’s perfection is not hypocritical but sincere transparency, unlike many who preach of God’s perfection before the eyes of men but behind closed doors are ravenous wolves with hearts of wickedness.

Matthew‬ ‭5:48‬ ‭NLT‬‬
“But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

Therefore, dear men and brethren, be thou perfect! for your Heavenly Father has made you perfect through Jesus Christ who has transformed you to his image and nature.

And as you strive to be perfect, may you receive help through the Holy Spirit by Christ Jesus to live according to God's standard and free from every sinful nature in Jesus' saving name Amen.

I hope this message meets you well in the love of Christ.
