Protocol of Spiritual Perfection

Matthew five, verse forty eight, because I don't want to go into another energy. We just read these scriptures, most of them asself explained, and then we be round them. It's a big idea for perfect even as your heavenly Father. Is perfect. In Christianity today, one of the things that many subliminally or subconsciously have concluded that it's impossible is the possibility of attaining perfection. I wish I was thought that perfection was possible when I gave my heart to Christ. By now maybe I would have come very close or have attainded it. But because nobody told us it was possible, it was not part of our pursuit. We pursued good character, we pursued power, but we never pursued perfection. In fact, one thing they will always rub on your face is that to air is human. So we were taught that men were designed to work in error. But you see, as you started the scriptures, you need to understand the difference between the believer of the Old Testament and the believer of the New Testament. And you need to understand where you are in God's agenda for time. One of the things that God has made possible for us as His children. Is the capacity to walk in perfection. I pray that the gransom of first pavor to attainty because we started learning it later, but we well teach it now so that the next generation, as they give their heart. To Christ, they will know that it's possible and they will start pressing towards it. Because there are two things that people don't even there teach in the body of Christ. One is perfection, and two is immortality, because sin and death has intimidated even the biggest generation of believers. But when you begin to read the. Plague of scriptures, you see that these things are possibilities that God has placed for us as an inheritance. To walk into. And in this scripture, the Bible is telling us the hearts of God concerning his children. It's made be yea perfect even as your heavenly Father is perfect. God began to say this thing from the Old Testament. To prepare a generation for it, and then in the New Testament he began to insist on it. In Theutronomy eighteen thirteen, you will find that emphasis thou should. Be perfect with the Lord die God. So we are not just. Talking perfection at human standard or at human level. We're actually talking God or divine perfection. It's that you should not just be perfect, it said, but be perfect us in the eyes. Of the Lord. You should be. And then in the New. Testament in seid be because this is the heritage of the believer, the inheritance that God. Has made possible. And so we must, in addition to the many things we. Are trusting God for, add both perfection and immortality to our pursuits. Even if we don't attain. It, at least we will leave it as a heritage for the next generation. But the first thing I want you to remove from your mind is that perfection is impossible. As you prays into God, it is possible for you to attain it. You know, we have preached time and time. Again that Jesus or Jesus's manifestation amongst other teams, is to reveal to us God's idea of a man. That's why we call him the patent Man. And every time we say we. Are looking on to Jesus the patent Man. We talk about faith, we talk about power, but when it comes to perfection and immortality, we shy away. But if Jesus was. And he was the pattern man, because the Bible said Jesus speaking now, the Father speaking now, said, behold. This is my belows on the amount of transfiguration in whom I am well pleased. He say here, yeah, him. And past that followed me as I follow Christ. John said, as the east, so are we in this world. So he's the pattern. And if perfection was a reality that he mirrored, it means God does, who affects us to be so. And this is why Matthew to a forty eight fight forty eight. The Bible place this is Chris Tackler is a be a perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. But before we press into it, because I want to introduce the protocol, the integers, the induces, the path ways that if a believer were to adopt, he would arrive at perfection. But before I itemize the protocol, let me define what perfection is. The epistemology of the world. The word perfect has used in the Old Testament is the word tamim, and it's also used as the word shaleen. So it has two origins. If you check the Old Testament, Tamim and shalin. In Genesis seventeen, verse one, the word Tamim was used for perfection, and the Bible said, God speaking to Abraham, he said, and. When Abraham was ninety years. Old wood and nine, the Lord appeared to Abraham and said on to him, I am the Almighty God. Walk before me and be dow perfect. And the word used in this context meant three things. Number one, it meant to be complete, that you. Are blameless, and that you are mature. Now there are few people, because I've listened to few salmons on the subject of perfection. And most people who dare to teach. About perfession, they don't talk about blamelessness. They don't talk about being complete. They will always talk about maturity. That is correct, but that's not the whole truth, because that's what. Tami means, to be mature, to be complete, blameless. So there is also. The possibility of seamless perfection. This is why God said to work before. Him and to attain it. The word shalm is used in First Kings, verse sixty one, and God was referring to the heart. If the lead I heart be perfect before God. And so this word here represents two things, number one sincerity and number two completeness. So we can infair from the syllables of the Old Testament that perfection in the eyes of God is completeness, blamelessness, maturity, and sincearity. And when you come to the New Testament, it's not so different because there are two words used for perfection in the New Testament. Number one is the word tend theos and number two is the word catatiso. And the word tend theos is what you find in Matthew five, verse forty eight, and that word refers to maturity. So when God's there's be a perfect epistem logically, the. Epistemology or epistemologically is talking about attaining the level of maturity where you. Grow beyond faults. That's why past that before somebody is ordain an elder is that he must be blameless. You know, in the early Church, eldership is not age. Why they respect that age, There were definite qualifications for who an elder should be, and you find that in Festimoltit chapter three, from verse one to eight, and one of the qualifications is that you grow to a level where you are not found in faults to be blameless. This world does not necess really in this context talk about seinless perfection. But when you see the comparison used in that scripture, you can in fair that what God meant in the Old Testament is also included here. Because when you are God, you're not talking about God is ageless, so you don't talk maturity with God. So if he say be a perfect, if he says as your grandfather, you can't say maturity. But they said be a perfect as your heavenly Father, So he's comparing you with God, so it can be maturity. So although the organic expression of that word was referred to maturity, the implication is deeper than maturity because I says be perfect as God in heaven is perfect. So it's telling you that God affects you to be blameless and faughtless as if as He is blameless. This is why. We don't expect anybody to attain this by human strength. It's going to be attainable by grace and by the help of the Holy Spirit. But how can the Holy Gods. Help you if you don't even believe it's possible. Before you begin to access help in this direction, you must first of all believe that it is even. So we must first of all come to the understanding that God is not just here to forgive our sings. So that we fall into error, we come back and ask for forgiveness. He forgives us. We fall into error. And come back. No, if that's all God was interested in, they wouldn't have been the need for the Holy Goost to come, because the blood of Jesus would have done the work and it would have finished. Because so long as. The blood is peaking for you, you are forgiven. But beyond forgiveness, God wants you to become like him. That's why he sent his spirit into you heard crying up a father, because it's not just for giving you. He wants to build you up, to be mature, to be. Complete, to be blameless, and to be sincere. In your didis so telling us is the word used for perfect, and it basically refers to maturity, but can also be in fact to blamelessness. Because the scripture in which it was used was in comparison with God. And then you find the word catafisso, which was used in Luke sixty. It's that a disciple is not above his teacher. It's that but everyone who is trained is perfect and shall also be like his master. A disciple is not greater than his master. But everyone who is trained shall be perfect. Even as its master. This is the. Fifth world for maturity, and this word refers to a state of being refined. So what God is talking about here is the best version of you as He has proposed in his heart. And the best version of you is christ. Likeness, to be exactly like Christ. So, as we deal with the subject of maturity, five things, you being your mind number one. As we deal with the subject of perfection, I beg your Father five things You being your mind number one is a state of completeness. That means your God expects you to come to a place where nothing is lacking in your character, nothing is lacking in your faith, nothing is lacking in your manifestation. See when you see many Christians manifest you can see many gaps that suggest they we're not So a man can raise the dead and you are saying, Wow, this is the excellency of faith. And then thirteen minutes later that man is talking on how to ciphone judge money. You'll see a man operating word of knowledge. You said, this is the excellency the danage of the manifestation of the gift of the spirit. And then one week later you hear that that. Man left that meeting and left with it a young glidyen has left with the need. And there you are. You are trying to rational lies. Is this tabolic? How do you compare somebody who was walking in the gift of this spirit as if his eyes were the eyes of God? Yet the very night while. He was prophesying, he was eyeing the woman on the outer why he was prophesying? So you find some people simly letter simming. Letter is not word of knowledge. There are times when they are heavy things that can be said in public, that maturity. That we tell people in private. But I assure you some of these simulator is either seed or personalities. This is why you hear all. Kinds of garbage from the out and it's a shame to talk about. But God, the facts that your. Manifestation is complete, that when people see you they can literally compare you to Christ because in the senate of power there is character to support it. You'll find some people pretty and you marvel at the revelation. You are wanting, how did they notice? But why they are yet talking? The arrogance there the fragrance of is it fragrance? Now? The wroth, they. Decay the smear of arrogance that is coming with that revelation. We make you deterct the revelation, even though you can't deny the depth of the communication. But the roganst is too loud for you to accept that message. So they are not complete. So when we talk perfection, we are talking a. Kind of completeness because God aspects you to model Christ's likeness. You know, in closures to verse nine, they say you. Are complete in Christ because in Christ, God makes sure. He formed you complete. But being your manifestation, that completeness must reviewed. And so when we talk maturity perfection, we are talking completeness. When people see you, nothing is lucky. There's faith, there is character, there's revelation, there is there are resources to power God's agenda, and your life almost is a reflection of Christ working on the earth. Then number two, when we talk perfession, we are talking blamelessness. Blamelessness it says stead where a man grows beyond fault and errors. And it is possible. And I can tell you this because I'm not preaching my life. I'm preaching the word of God. I may not have appended, but now I dare to. Believe it so that I can ask God for grace and the help of the Holy Ghost. Because we can. Grow beyond fault, we can grow beyond error. And when I'm talking about this level of. Growth, I'm not just saying I don't lie. I'm not just saying I don't, I don't For the kids. I'm not just saying I don't that that's that's that's that thing, that's that one is for babies. I'm talking growing to a level where. There is so much precision in your spirit that mistakes are so minimized that you are almost a reflection of the mind of God. And these things are possible. A great man of God said, when the only Gods began to teach him this truth evenly tole things like I forgot, God began to forbid him from saying it. That when when you are building into profession, there's the consciousness and bos are. And this is why these messages should be preached, because if we achieve. The consciousness the Lord, then we have done enough. Another generation we pick it up. And that when you forget something, don't say I forgot, Say I remember, And as you say I remember, it will come into your spirit, and you will now train your soul. To stop forgetting. So we are talking rams beyond error. You are blameless. It is possible work before me and being blameless. Number three is maturity. This is character. Oh how much the body of Christ need men of character to appear on the scene again. So then when you say you are a pastor, people become keres. I'm not saying you say you're a. Christian because it's the more safe and now to be a Christian than to be a pastor. Because if you say you are a Christian, your focus is to be like God. But nowadays when people say they are pastors, their focus is to preach. So there are many wolves in including go any way, I say you are pastor, they say, watching prom watch way. That's the level of indignation that we are brought to the body because there's no character. People are in matuore in the awards, in the actions. If you see what men of God fight over, you will be ashamed for them. People can fight their clothes because of how to shear money. That they're got by deceiving. People maybe don't even bear breads or messages, not because even their conscience won't let them, and if they first be thought of their mouth, there's no weakness. They will be talking to look like somebody has been speaking. Because you can't compressional lives where the voice is coming. From immaturity, even sacred things, you can't entrust spiritual people with it anymore because. They can't control their tongue. We're talking a state of completion, a state of blamelessness, a state of maturity. We are talking a state where you are since here and. The states where you are refined. Because perfection also has to do with excellence and refinement. You meet certain people, they say they want to take the world or got that eye on your shirt fast? The world is too If you can't put your shirt together, the chrios in the world is too much for you. You can't hand do it. That you can't hand do it. There war suits, they have not watched it for two months. The color suits that you were on top of another shirt, the color suit is dead. So what you now imagine what will happen to the shirt inside that is touching you. But the guy wants to eye on the world when they have not ie on the shed. They're not refined. Deep lead to assignment. They are all over the place, so there's no there's no refinement. Mean while even in the world, they're not the place of excellence. You can't go to a bank and find this oderliness. By six am, six am, you. Enter the bank, seven thirty, they are ready for business. Everybody is too tired. Everybody is ready for their work. Customers have already been attended to. But you come to charge. Service is five six The club people are still running. There's book for a generator. Hey, why they're like the wire shirking ah. Gasas in now they told you the service. So we need to wake home. Because these things are possible, and it's something that will apply to your soul, to your body and to your circumstances. It was demonstrated. This is what God is calling for. Is that be a perfect even as your heavenly. Father is perfect, be complete, be blameless as your heavenly Father is complete and blameless. I was telling you humorously the other day, and we all love to he aboutications that in church. You can't let go and count the offering. Seven people have to go together and they are alding the offering basket and there are tense deciitific cameras watching were the accounting money because you can't find sincere men even with the offering. That is supposed to be tacrid. Are you sure we are ready to win the world, to disciphle the world and with the ones to save this world. That's why we need Reviver as much. As we need evangelism. You know, many people say preach Christ, win sauce, go out. There or God is important. To But the same momentum with which we go out to win souls, it's the same momentum we need to bring into charge to trigger divivor. Because evangelism and discipleship holds the same value. Be perfect. I will talk about immortality another time, but what is the protocol of attaining perfection? Number one is genuine salvation because if you are not saved, there's no way you can be like God. Because salvation is not an improved life. Salvation is not a modified life. Salvation is an exchanged life. I tell you here time and time again. No matter how much energy, time training you invest on. A baboom, babooms can never be like men. A baboom may washplait, a baboom may know how to wear. Shirt, but they can never be a man. So salvation is the foundation for their journey of perspection. Because in salvation, what God did was to put his life on your inside. What makes him who he is is what they proceeded into your spirit. This is why salvation. Perfection will be impossible without salvation. There are many. Months today that master the art of meditation, build so. Much disciplines, and there are. Many areas of their lives where they are very excellent. God. They can be perfect because this thing begins from this spirit, to the soul, to the body, to the circumstance. You can't do it from outside inside. You do it from inside outside. The Bible said, for all have seen and falling shot of the glory of God. Romance Street twenty three. For all have seen and falling short of the glory of God. So every one of us have fallen from the realm of perfection. It will take some. Visions for us to be reientated to that realm so that we begin to grow in it. The Bible said in titles I think that the one if you read from besse one to five, the Bible told us how that ours. Feel it was regenerated. That means it's a new being that was born. God didn't begin as an attempt to improve us. He regenerated us Paul, a servant of God, a postle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect and the acknowledging of the truth which is after Godliness. Is there in hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie promise before the world began, but had in due time manifested his word through preaching, which he committed to me according to the commandment of God as Savior, to titles my own son after the common faith, Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. Is there for this cost left id in creed, that you may set in order the things which are wanting, and ordain held us in the city as I have appointed. Thee the sis is there, if any be blameless? Are you sting there? If any be what blameless? A husband of one wife, having faid for children, not accused of riot or unruly, for a. Bishop must be blameless. And a steward of God not set weed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not given to beauty Luco, but a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate. Are you seeing qualities of a leader? But all of these things are possible fast because God, who cannot. Lie, from mess salvation before the foundations of the world. This is why second Corinthians five seventies that whoever is in. Christ Jesus is a new creature, a new creature, because you must be born again to begin to mature into God's likeness. So the beginning of perfession is salvation, so that you are restored to the glory that you lost. Is that God, who cannot lie, promised it. Before the foundation of the world that new creatures must be born. That's what salvation is. And this is why the Bible said a coloss two ten is. That you are complete in Christ. That means in salvation your spirit man has been perfected in Christ. Your spirit man has been furnished onto blamelessness in Christ. And in Efficians one to three he said, after God perfected you, he sealed you with the Holy ghost of promise, so that this spirit is not corrupt. But the job does not end with the spirit. God aspects that the same holy spirit that regenerated your spirit. In salvation will continue the process using the agency of the world to transform your mind onto your mind becomes like your spirit. And then he motifies your body and autimately transfigures at the rupture, so that your body too is quickened to become. Like your spirit. So while we are on it, our journey and work with the Spirit is to yield our souls. Because Salvation has deposited the possibility and the job has begun in the spirit, so that the Holy gost can continue the job through our soul and our body, ultimately communating a rupture. But it begins with salvation. The Bible said in efficients to ten you are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus. So the raw material for creating you in salvation, which now is your spirit, is Christ himself. You were created in Christ Jesus. That's why you are a new special that has never existed before. So if a man is not safe or saved, perfection is not in view, no matter how he drives. But when salvation is achieved, then the process continues, and that's where the protocol begins to open. The second thing that makes you grow into perfection is now to abide in Christ. You have to abide in Christ. John fifteen vers four to five. This is why when people are saved, we insist that they continue in the world, because if you are saved and you walk away, all we have. Is forgiveness of sins. You will never become like God. It's like giving back to a child in the hospital and leaving that child. No, the process continues. You must teach him how to abide. Jesus said, abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot be a fruit of itself except it abide in the vine. Is that no more can ye expect you abide in me? In verse five? Is that I am the vine. You are the branches He that abide that in Me and I in Him, the same bringeth much truth, And without me you can't do nothing. So the way you become. Or grow into what God expects you to be is when you abide in Christ. Because it's only in Christ that you are complete. You can be complete in yourself. You can be perfected in yourself. Instead, you are complete in Him. You are teleost in Him Colossians two ten. You know most of us give our hearts to Christ, and then we want to build perfection in ourselves. We now rely on our intelligence we rely on our abilities, we fail a thousand times. This is what the error of the Galician church. In Galicians chapter three, from verse one to five, Paul looked at them, and he said, oh, foolish. Galicians, is there who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth before whose eyes Jesus Christ had. Been evidently searched forth crucified among you. He called them foolish, attempting to build perfection by the strength of their will, attempting to build perfection by their human intelligence. Is that this only will I learn from you? Receive you the spirit. By the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Is the Are you foolish? Having begun in the spirit? Are you made perfect in the flesh? You're started your perfection in the spirit. That's starvation. You were growing perfection also in the spirit. And the first operakon of the spirit is to stay in the Gospel. Anything you can't find in Christ, you can't find in yourself, is when you see it in Him that it becomes your reality. So second Corinthians three, it is that we are with. Unveiled faces, beholding as in the glass. The glory of the Lord is that we are changed. We are with open faces, beholding. As in the glass the glory of the Lord. Say we are changed, change into what. Into that image, from glory to glory. Even as by the spirit of the Lord. So when you keep beholding the Gospel, receiving the Gospel, something happens to you. You'll become what you hear. Like I'm telling you now that perfession is possible in Christ. Is registering in your feel it. If you hear. It over and over and over again, it will now and the judge you. To walk in it. This is why we must be careful to preed the gospel, because men can never be perfect unless they keep hearing the gospel. If every day all you hear is the condamination of Sein or the once in a why with a mind bean of the terror of God. But if that's what you hear all the time, a point. Will come your mutes in consciousness. You need to hear how you are made righteous so that you can receive the ability to leave righteous. You need to hear how you are being perfected so you receive the ability to be perfect. You need to hear how you are being empowered by grace so that you can walk in it, because in that consciousness that comes only by abiding in Christ. Does not come you will never become Go check. Where they talk about witchcraft all the time. People always be reached, you go through your research. But we are to talk about the victory, the glory, the power men having Christ. You hardly find people casting our. Devils because everybody has grown beyond that. Well, I'm not saying we should throw the former away. There will always be babes that we need demons cast out from. But the point needs to come where you leave the devil alone and focus on Jesus. So that you become like Christ. Don't you don't back the direction you're traveling to. That if I'm going to Legos, I face Legos once in the wye may look back, I may look by the side. But I'm going to Legos. So it's not certain we are preaching it's Christ. We preach were pretty Christ and him crucified. That's what brings men to perfection. Past that we should not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. So I'm not saying we should mention what the turn is doing and prevail. Look at it. What I'm saying I shouldn't. Be predominant in our communications. We become perfect and we abide in Christ. You remember, I tell you here you have the life of God. You have the anointing of the Holy Ghost, you have the power of God, you have the righteousness of God, you have the grace of God. I'm saying this thing to build a consciousness in you. That consciousness is what will bring you into the reality. So if you will journ into perfection, Christ must become your predominant consciousness. You must abide in Christ. Number three protocol of perfection. Is to walk in the spirits. You have seen already from Galatians three birs three is by the spirit. Second Corenians three eighteen is by the spirit. So a man who does not know how to work in the spirit will be overwhelmed by the flesh. He said in Genesis seventeen one walk before me and be perfect. So if you are not in the spirit, if you are not connected to the spirit, you can attend perfection. Because what stops you from attaining perfection. Is the flesh, and only the spirit can. Modify the flesh. So any man who wants to attend perfection must. Master out to yield to the Holy Ghost. Galatians five, sixteen and seventeen. The Bible said, if we walk in the spirit, is said, we. Will not gratify the desires of the flesh, except for the flesh wars again the spirit and the spirit against the flesh, and the two are one against the other. So perfection is possible when you deadness is attained. Write these things down. These are the keys and precostals of perfection. Number one is believed in Christ to receive salvation. Number two abiding in the world or in the Gospel of Christ. Number three is you deadness to the Holy Spirit. It's not impossible, but there are precoursos. If you write this thing down and you ask God for the grace to do them. You will be shocked. They mind led. You will cover in a short time. Many don't even know what to prefer. Tell God to open the world to you when the light of the world heeds you. Anything that's not of God, believe you. Tell God to grant you the great to hear and yield to the Holy Spirit, and see what your life becomes. The difference between death and life is the direction you follow. If you go with the spirit, you attend life. If you go with the flesh, you attend death. There are no two ways about it. Romance eight Tatin. He say, if we leave after the flesh, he said, we shall die. He said, But if we, through the spirit mortify the deeds of the flesh, then we shall leave. This should be some of the many things that will be taught. And I told you this is introduction, because I will teach you how to yield to the Holy ghost. I will teach you how to abide in the world. And as you. Begin to develop it, train yourself. In it, you will see that the character of Christ will begin to grow in you. Number four. Obtaining perfession. Is deliberate commitment to character development, which is what we call maturity. And this is a commitment because characters are not formed overnight. Is the what your thoughts? They become your actions? What's your actions? They become your habit. Whats your habit? They become your character? And what's your character? Because it will be your destiny. So character formation is a commitment, and anybody who desires perfection is deliberate. To form character. And as you read the Bible, you're going to see that the Bible calls maturity or character formation perfection. Everything. I'm listening listening to you here. Scripts call them perfection. In coloss two ten, it cause abiding in Christ. Or in the world completeness telling. Us In Genesis seventeen, verse one, it caused walking in the spirit or before God perfection Tanning, Tanning, look at he prews five twelve to fourteen. Character is the one year ought to be teachers? Is that you have need to be. Taught the first principles of the oracles of God is there, And have become such as have needed for milk and not of strong meat. Is that for everyone that used. That milk is unskillful in the world of righteousness, For he said, baby, he has not mastered righteousness that is perfect. That means it takes kill to work in perfection. Killful because as you follow, you know he quote the scripture some one for this one the Lord teaches my hands to fight and my fingers to war. There is a kill for navigation in the spirit. And invest fourteen is that for. Strong meat belongs to them who are full age maturity. So so by reason of use, have exercised their senses to destern good and evil. So you you build maturity by. Exercising yourself onto it. That's why I said to exercise yourself onto godliness. This is where consecretion comes in. No indisciplined person can work in perfection. Job Dad, I trained my eyes not to look upon the vegin Paul said, I beat my body and bring it on. That subjection first Courteous nineteeny seven. I'm Paul also said in the conte two nineteen or twenty one. Now is that if a man poor cheats himself from these things, so you trail yourself. Some of us. Our heart is like a city without wars. That's why we can never grow into perfection. Every garbage we look on we open our ears. To, and then we come struggling to be perfect. It doesn't work. You think Satan is foolish. Billions of dollars are being spent to prove, packet and project all forms of iniquity and suffer me. You think it's not a deliberate thing. You can go to chart for your lifetime. If you don't build a wall around your eyes, your ears, and your heart, you will fall a million times. And because we are not taught, men don't contend for these things. The Bible said, if you have not resisted to the point of blood. So God this effects us to raise this even to the point of blood. You know what James three two said is that the man that has rule over his tongue is that that man is a perfect man. So character is to have rule over yourself if it is formed, and if you start attaining perfection, you will. Focus on building character. In fact, when I was thirteen on this subject, the greatest aspect that the subject of perfection was discuss from was the aspect of character, either from control the tongue or patience. You just find them in James one four. If you read from verse two to four, you'll. See, my brethren, count it your joy when you fall into divers temptations. Is then knowing that the trend of. Your faith work at patients. And it said, but let patients have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and tire work that is borne from being separated onto God. That's why perfection is a pursuit of holy living, and your pursuit. Levity cost eleven forty four. Joke one, verse one. You will find these scriptures for I am the Lord your God. Yes shall therefore sanctify yourself, And yes shall be holy, for I am holy. Neither shaye defy yourself with any manner of creeping things that creep upon the face of the earth. Now, in the Old Testament context, God was training them with physical things. But now it is beyond meath. Now we are talking hat posture. And you see that if they pursued your postuities, and there were men who pursued it. In Job chapter one, verse one, the Bible spoke of a man that was in the city of Laws and instead his name was Joe, the city of ours. Whose name was Joe. He said that man was. Perfect and appright, one that feared God and excued evil. So we are talking holiness. They pressed a not too God that results in uprightness and rejection of evil. This is the journey of perfect You get born again. Now that you are born again, you abiding the world. The word of God takes root in your heart. You're you to the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost energizes you on this strength of the interactional. With the world and the spirit. Character begins to form. So it's a protocol. As character is being formed, you now discover that all the appetites. Start developing in your spirit and holiness is the first appetite of any. Man who is chasing perfection. They desire to be separated onto God. And when you are separated onto God, you become as. Blameless as is flameless with top salvation. That's why we gather in our numbers. But they are no godly men. And when we want to do business with the world, we are only interested in physical needs. Find one million people gathered every day. It's about bread, it's about wine. I tell you here we are not cows. It's only charwos that navigate for green pastures. Something else is chasing us. I'm not against meeting the needs of believers, but we will have a priority of needs. If you want to get the people to be excited, if you want to get the people to be committed, just be bombarding on their knees. Then we get married, Then we get breakthrough. There we get really and you see all the energy. And then you have millions of consumers who don't resemble God. They least challenge you will see who they are. That's why they. Live our miracle services, live our prayer meetings, go to the office. They stam day and compromise because we give them a miniature. Go school. Always teach them that Christ came to die for is to give them breakthrough. I'm not against it. But there's more in the Gospel than just having a good life or intervention. Jesus didn't come here for you to have a care. There are many godless men who have car companies. Inasmuch as the Holy Ghost can inspire you to attend that level, move somebody to give that to you, make you product it, to. Make money to buy one. That's not good's priority. So God bless this, but his blessing is beyond moon paintings. Eight time should come where millions you gather, and our cry is holiness. Otherwise our generation. Will be forgotten because we have no stake in the realm of God. We are a come so much generation. If it is not I want. To marry, I want health, right, I want healing. No body cares tell people come, let's see the first of God. We see the resigns of the joke. When God that's the need. No man shows up. You cough for evangelism. Are you here in such of ten thousand? If two hundred combs, then you are doing the tonal job. And if you most get them to evangelize. Then you have to use tap the scriptures to convince them that evangelism results in breakthrough. Oh the wise, they won't come. Tell them God this Thos, nobody will show up. You'll call them for Vigi, I said, we want to say God's pace. We want to know God a touch of two thousands, you will five fifty people. And if they come the first day, come in the fourth week, they will reduced to ten for the generation. Don't get me wrong, I believe God bless us, but I also believe that it's the kingdom that we most pressed for. And so the fifth protocol of perfection is dogget pursuit of holiness. First fia to one, verse fifteen and fifteen Hebrews te verse fourteen. I'm giving you these scriptures, so you go and starty. Then, because it is written, go to verse fifteen. But as he which had called you is holy, said be yere also holy. In all manner of conversation. That's all manner of your life, every aspect of your life. It said, be holy, as he that called you is holy. It said, for it is written, be ye holy, as I am holy. Hebrews twelve fourteen. We're talking perfection here, And I told you it's what blamelessness, which is born from separation onto God. Follow peace with all men, and holiness without which no eyes shall see God. I've taught you before, don't follow the gospel of lude men who are looking for a location for seeing yet find peace from wrong and Erroneo's teaching. Who say holiness has nothing to do. With what you do, that you don't even have to pursue it. That you have become holy because you have the holy ghost. They tell you Mount Sinai is holy, Mount Horrid is holy. Why because God I lighted upon it. That's true. But that's have truth. Anything God comes upon is sanctified. But with that in stale with God. With that it manifest God. With that in work like God. Because if you are separated onto God, there used to walk like onto God. The Bible said, if you be in this spirit, also walk in this spirit. When God came upon sign eye, nothing touched it. It became separated, not to go. So you're the holy goals came upon you. And forh nication is still touching you, Lying is still touching you. Are you not disiving yourself? The Bible say, follow peace and follow holiness. Follow it without with no eyes shall see God perfection. Most of us don't make up our mind to pursue it. Where here you you want to pursue holiness. You know that there are certain channels that even said I know can't play on your in your house or play on your phone. If you're bluetooth, they can't. The advert can't come. And if the advert come, some of us who are pursuing it, we go and press not interested, never show again. If I'm watching any channel and any advert pop up that has a tendency of definement, I press not interested. If I can, I report it, you don't pop up. Yesda, I'm talking with you. You talk kills anything careless. The way we'll look at you. You know that this relationship has just ended. It has finished. As I leave you. You check. Those who are on my phone, they know you will check. You need block one, block two block if you don't talk nonsense around. Missa because they have it's an open door. Enter and because we are pursuing some things, we block some things. I may not have all the discernments and make a mistake and connect with you when I hear anything that is not of God, I check with you. If it's true and you don't want to repent, will we meet in heaven. If you make it. Some of I want to be holy and you. Have to get friends. I wanted to break up. The other one was crying. I had compassion. Your people will crying. Heir forever ever compowered? What's that? He wants to be holy? But you are friends with thieves. James Cobb as four say you are doc trous generation, He said, don't you know the friendship with the war is enmity with God. He it's because is happy me happy? You are correpti or so. If it's a professional job, then they bound. Christ must be defined. When we meet with talk business and everybody goes away. I'm not interested in dinner because it's a shame that your own holiness can't convert them. Is their simfulness that's converting you. That means your own life darkness are so superiority of our life. Meanwhile light you rule over that. Liess. See a generation of people who are aggressive in postue holiness, most rising aggressively. You are not talking about it that they know when you come. If they were saying something, they lower their voice. Your temerity and audacity in defending it is without apology. Let them be gravity in our lives. Number six. You are pursuing perfection, then you must be quick to forgive when people genuinely repent. Forgive because you can't attend perfection. Forgiveness is one of the greatest expressions of love, and a man who. Has truly attended. God's character is prone to forgiveness. Matthew six, fourteen and fifteen Closures three thirteen. Write those scriptures down, go and read it. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father, we. Also forgive you. But if your forgive not your trustpasses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive your trustpasses. See the problem you may have because you are pursuing holiness. If you're not careful, you will become God the George. While it's important to define barriers to save your heart, be careful not to judge others, because if you are not careful, your pursuit of holiness will. Make you to become proud, and you may end up in self righteousness. Because there are. Many persons because they trust that God not to lie, they trust that God not to hate They trust that God not to be bitter. They trust that God not to phnicate. They have become champions. So even when they are talking, they are robbing into your first how that they are seinless men. Then they now end up. They fall from the top to the bottom. The sign that you are not self righteous is that you forgive quickly, because you know that they the reason you are standing with God. It's not your merit, is this merit. That's why he said, the way you were forgiven, forgive others. And if you don't forgive orders, yourself will not be forgiven colost for burying one another, forgiving one another if any has quarry against any. Even as Christ forgive, so also forgive even as what Christ. So he's comparing you with Christ's likeness. This is why forgiveness brings you to perfection, because it makes you Christ like. Even as Christ forgive, so a man manifest Christ's likeness in forgiveness. There are people who swear that they will forgive, and when they want to die, they tell. Their children this one don't forgive you. You can caution your children and said this is a bad man. They care with it, but don't teach your children evil. The root of bitterness has eaten them all, and others don't enjoy life. Is that they are dead bed that they now out. Of fear of hair, in case these three, because they never believed it. But nine in case these three they are forced to forgive you so that they die. We don't do that the quick if you are light in. Your heart, to corrupt your soul, and then finally you want to be perfect working love Matthew five forty three to forty seven, First John four seven to eight, Ephicients five to one to two. Project quickly, let's read it. I'm rounding up. Matthew five forty three is a year? Have heard that it has been said thus that love thy able, and hate thine enemies, and show you who a perfect man is. Is that what I say unto you? Love your enemies, bless them that cost you do. Go to them that hate you, and pray for them with this pipefully use you and persecute you. Why next verse that yeah, may be children of your father, which is in heaven. For him maketh his. Son to rise on the evil and on the good, and send the rain to the joss and to the unjust. Forty six for if you love them which love you, what reward have you do? Not even Republicans do things that's forty sable. And if you salute your brethren, only, what do you more than others? Do you not even do that? Not even the publicans. So he say, if you want to be like your heavenly. Father, is a love like your heavenly father. If you want to be perfect as your heavenly father, love like your heavenly Father, who loved not just only his friends, but even his enemies First John first seven eight. And it shows you why God behaves like this, Because God. Is loved, be loved. Let us love one another, for love is of God. And every man that loveth is born of God. And know what God? He is born of God? And know what God? That's the man who is truly completing God. He that loved not know it not God? For God is love Echristians five one and two. Perspection, be dear for followers of God as dear children, how and work in love as Christ also have love, have had loved us and given himself. An offering and a sacrifice to God. A sweet man in summer. So when a man begins to love is compared to Christ. Love even as Christ. So when you love, you are. Perfect like Christ. So when you want to look for a perfect man, look for a man who is born again. And not just born again. A man who is committed to the world and not just committed to the world. A man who is yielded to the Holy Spirit and not just yielded to the Holy Ghost. A man who is my chaw in character and not just my chaw in character. A man who poss us holiness and not just for steal holiness. A man who is quick to forgive, and not just quick to forgive, but a man who is full. Of love and walks in love. This is the journey of affection. When you do this, you will be complete. You will be blameless, you will be mature, you will be sincere, and you will be refined. So when men see you, there will be nothing short of God in your life. They will almost say the dead they met you, They met God. This is the body the Father has for us Matthew five forty eight. If they be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect. Luke six, verse forty in decipher is. Not greater than his Master, is there but one that is trained. Everyone that is trained, everyone that is perfect, will be as his master. Everyone that is refined will be. As his master. As you leave this service tonight, go and write on your war. From today I will be committed to the world. From today, I will be committed to yield deadness to the Holy Spirit. From today, I will develop my character consciously as. Prescribed by the world. From today, I will pursue holiness. From today I will forgive even the unforgivable. And from today I will walk in love. So have been gold and watch your life. You will ma fu the way you will begin to transfigure into christ likeness. Vow your heat. Let's pray. Hello Him, Hello. Na helloh Madon, Hello Hi Madonna, Hello Hi Madonna. Isaac perflection means five things. Whether in the Hebrew or in the Greek that means Shazam, teleos or katatiso, he means five things. Number one is completion, Number two maturity, number three blamelessness, number four sincerity, and number five refinements. Of all of this five, the. Easiest is maturity, because when you mature, the other four. Naturally flows out of him. And I said, maturity is what in wisdom, in faith, and in character. I want us to pray to God tonight to grant us grace to match up fast first. Some of us need wisdom first. Some of us need faith to grow in faith fast fast. God's spoke about faith, and some of us need character development first. In one minute, you. Don't need to stand. If you want to stand, that's fine, But leave your voice to God. Father, grant me grace to match are and to match off fast, to mature and to match off past. Go ahead and pray for the next two minutes. Talk to God. Can pray in the spirits, can pray your language and pray in English on ground online. If Christianity will subsist, then the grace of God and the power of the Holy Gooes must be deployed not only in the direction of power, but also in the direction of perfection perfection. Let that be a. Revival of profession. That man. We said, no, these ones are like Christ. They were first God Christians in Antioch because they were like lead to Christ. What they saw was perfection. The people were like Christ, so they call them Christians. He k would be readen. Everything everything, he. Will be. Hes the Oliver, he an. He's not nigon HOI you know why they are prayer because no one, we don't teach it. You pray it in the protocol of maturity. You pray it. Colossians for the web is that a paprus is one of you, a bond servant of Christ, praying favently for you in prayers. That you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. This is the same part that said in Colossians two ten you are completely in Christ. So it's a reality in your spirit, and it's also a manifest reality. What we are talking about here is the ability to throw it out to become a manifestation. And if you engage those protocols, you see that from glory to glory shall be your testimony. Father, thank you, because even tonight we receive grace to Johnny in profession. In Jesus' name, we have prayed
