I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him (Ecclesiastes 3:14).
Whatever God
does is perfect and eternal. When He made you, He made you perfect and it
wasn’t part of His plan for your kidneys, heart, lungs or any other organ in
your body to fail. He made you perfect and complete, with nothing missing. No
wonder the Word says you’re complete in Him (Colossians 2:10).
Genesis 1:31
says, “And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Notice, it doesn’t say
everything that He had made was partially good; no! They were very good; and
you’re the cream, the best and most sublime, of all that He created. He’s the
only One who can tell us about His creation, and we need to have the right
mindset about who we are and our heritage in Christ. If He has said He made you
perfect and complete, then that’s it! Believe it, confess it, and live
accordingly.
Colossians
4:12 tells us something beautiful; it says, “Epaphras, who is one of you, a
servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers,
that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.” Epaphras was
here interceding for the brethren and desired for them to stand perfect and
complete. The word, “perfect” is translated from the Greek “teleios”; it
actually means “maturity,” “a completeness”; that is, being brought to full
age. While the word, “complete” in that same verse, means “pleroo” (Greek),
meaning “to be full,” and in need of nothing.
Thus, the
Spirit’s prayer for the Church, through Epaphras, is for us to become mature in
the things of God, and be full in such a way as to require nothing; it’s for us
to be whole, perfect, and sound. That’s the way Jesus was; He was perfect and
entire, wanting nothing. What a life! This is God’s dream for you; live
accordingly.
