- Pastor E. A. Adeboye on “TOTAL PERFECTION” || RCCG Overcomers Assembly Region 31 || 14th July 2024 ||
I think this is the second time in my life that I have been around this area. So, somebody is going to get a very special miracle. James 1:17. This morning we’ve been asked to share briefly on, “TOTAL PERFECTION.” Church Gist. Our God is a perfect God; he is perfect light, no shadow at all in him. He is perfectly good, perfectly kind, perfectly generous, perfectly loving. Everything about him is perfect. Psalm 18:30. Whatever he does, he does it perfectly. The beauty of it is: according to Psalm 138:8 – the Lord will perfect all that concerns me. So somebody today is going to get a perfect miracle.
When he heals, he heals perfectly. 2 Kings 5:1-14. When he healed Naaman, there was no scar left. He gave him the skin like that of a brand new baby. Mark 8:22-25. I believe God has brought me here for a second time so that somebody can get a perfect touch! Church Gist. Please don’t wait for a long sermon because the sermon is not going to be long. Get ready to receive your miracle as quickly as possible. I will love that next Sunday they will give you enough time to testify.
When he delivers, he does it perfectly. Mark 5:2-20. When he delivered the mad man of Gadara, he didn’t just clear out all the demons in him, he saw to it that the demons entered into pigs and drowned. He saw to it that the destiny of the mad man was fully restored to him. Luke 8:1-3. Church Gist. When he cleared out 7 demons out of Mary Magdalene, he turned her to a divine treasurer. So there’s someone here who had been tormented by all manners of forces of darkness from the father’s side, from the mother’s side, from the marital side, today you are going to get perfect deliverance!
Destinies that have been truncated, destinies that have been held in bondage, things that God created you to become that certain forces of darkness said it is not going to happen, today, you’re going to get total deliverance!
When he provides, he does it perfectly. 2 Kings 4:1-7. When the widow of the son of the prophet came to him and said, “I am destitute, creditors are coming to take my children into bondage,” God didn’t just provide enough to pay the debt, he made sure that she had enough to live on for the rest of her life. Church Gist. John 6:5-13. When he (Jesus) wanted to feed a crowd and a boy brought him just a boy’s lunch, he used that same lunch to fill (feed) the crowd and the Bible says, “there were 12 baskets left over.”
- I have good news for someone who is having financial problems, as my God lives, because you came this morning, your problems are over!
I don’t want to tell stories today because all I wanted to do is: I want God to just move into action, do what he wants to do in your life. But I’ve told you a time when we were in the Camp, several years ago we were young, just became General Overseer and things were hard – so hard that there was no money to buy meat at all. So we were going to eat dinner without meat and I had to prepare the children for that kind of dinner. Church Gist. So I took them on a walk. This place was bush then and I was telling them, “oh when I was young, my parents used to give us what they call okro meat. They will take an okro, cut off its head, cut off its tail and put it in the okro soup and the thing will be loaded with all kinds of things. So as we are eating, we will be eating the okro meat.” As we were going, we had this little black dog with us, he was going along with us, very tough little thing. All of a sudden, he dashed into the bush and we heard the sound of a little animal crying in pain. Church Gist. Very soon the dog came out with a squirrel in its mouth and then, we had a little battle rescuing the squirrel from its mouth. That was meat for that day.
When we finished eating, my children looked at me and said, “Daddy, what about the okro meat?” I said, next time. Church Gist. It’s almost 40 years now, next time has never come.
- In the name of the One who sent me, from now on you will never lack!
When he decides to make someone fruitful, he does it perfectly. You know yourself in 1 Samuel 1:9-20. Hannah asked for one son, God gave her one son. She handed over that one son to God. Church Gist. Then in 1 Samuel 2:20-21, the Bible says, “Eli blessed Elkanah and Hannah…” The woman who asked for one son got the one she asked for and in addition she got 6 extra.
- I have good news for someone listening to me: it doesn’t matter what the doctor has said, it doesn’t matter how old you are, by this time next year, at least you will have a set of twins!
Everything he does, he does it perfectly. When he decides to save your soul, he does it perfectly. 1 John 1:7. It doesn’t matter how bad you have been, it doesn’t matter how far gone in the world you had been, when you give your life to him, he saves perfectly. Church Gist. If the salvation comes from him, it is perfect. When he is forgiving you, he will forgive everything you have ever done. Which reminds me of one Alhaji in Ilorin. He gave his life to Jesus Christ and went home rejoicing. But after some days, he came back and said, “ha! I’m not sure Jesus can forgive all I’ve done.” I said, ah but, his blood cleanses from all sins. Ehhnn, he said, “Pastor, you don’t know how bad I’ve been,” and he began to tell all manners of horrible things he had done. I said, the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sins. Ah okay, he went home rejoicing. Church Gist. He kept coming and going. Finally, he said alright, this last one: if Jesus can forgive this one, I won’t worry myself again.
He said, when he wanted to make a charm and he needed the heart of a man to make the charm, he waited till a cousin died and they buried the child. Church Gist. Then at night he went and exhumed the body, cut it open, removed the heart and used it to make the charm from which he has gotten a lot of money. He said, do you believe Jesus can forgive that?
Fortunately he can read, so I opened to him 1 John 1:7 where it is written, “the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin.” I said, what is the meaning of “all”? He said, all means all. Church Gist. All means without exception. From that day onward, he kept on rejoicing in the Lord, praising him, doing his will.
I have good news for anyone of you here this morning, no matter how terrible your past had been, when you come to Jesus Christ he will save your soul perfectly.
However now he said one thing: he said, I am a perfect God. I can do all things perfectly for you. I don’t have time I would have told you how I am an example of this God of total perfection. Church Gist. If I tell you how sickly I used to be before he saved my soul and then he healed me? If I tell you how tough things had been in the past, how poor we became particularly after we became General Overseer and co, today some of you see the glory, you don’t know the story. If I tell you how terrible the witches and wizards in my village can be, but now when they hear I am coming home they run. When I tell you how perfect God can be, you won’t believe. He can be perfect to you in every way possible. He can take your life from the ground and cause you to begin to dine with princes. When I tell you how many Heads of State this little boy standing before you, whose father was so poor that the poor called him poor, coming from a village that is not on the map, then you will know God can do something perfectly. Church Gist. But he insists in Matthew 5:48, “be you perfect even as your father in Heaven is perfect.” So when you hear people telling you, “Ehhh God knows you’re a human being, he cannot ask you to be holy, he knows you’re in the flesh,” you need to ask them, “which Bible are you reading?” God does not expect you after you have given your life to him to begin to behave in a manner that will soil his name. He is a perfect God, he expects his children to be perfect. Church Gist. There is no room for black lie, white lie, business lie, when you’re dealing with God. He is a perfect God.
If anybody begins to tell you that once you’re born again, you can keep on committing adultery and fornication, I mean, I saw this on the internet that someone said, “once you’re born again you’re free to do whatever you like.” But the Bible says, “if any man be in Christ he is a new creature.” It says, old things are passed away… How many things become new? All things. Church Gist. But you say, “ah Daddy, how am I going to be able to obey all his instructions?” His instructions are simple. Holiness is easy; holiness simply means, God says do this, “yes Lord” don’t do it, “yes Lord.” That’s what is called Holiness – obedience. God says, “sit down” yes Lord. Stand up, yes Lord. Eat, yes Lord. Fast, yes Lord. Sleep, yes Lord. Hold night vigil, yes Lord. That’s what is called Holiness. It’s the simplest thing in the world.
I didn’t plan to come to Abule Odu today, but he spoke to me and said, you’re going. The moment he said that the answer is yes Lord – that’s why I’m here. The moment you make up your mind that you will obey him in all things, he will make it easy for you. He works in you both to will and to do. Church Gist. It is when you say, “it’s not possible, it can’t happen, I’m ordinary flesh,” then he leaves you to yourself and when the door of hell opens, he will say, “okay o, ordinary flesh go and taste the fire.” The fire will be burning forever. But when you say, “Lord, whatever you want me to do, that’s what I want to do.” He says, “good boy, I will help you.” So we are talking about Total Perfection. There is no perfection that is halfway. It says clearly in his Word, “Listen, you want to be cold, be cold. You want to be hot, be hot. But lukewarm? He says, I will spit you out of my mouth.” Church Gist. That’s what he said, it is in the Bible. Don’t listen to these people who are trying to draw you back into the camp of satan. We belong to God; our God is a holy God. He is a perfect God.
Emmm, I like my friend Peter. Peter is the one who said, there are several things that Paul may be saying that I don’t understand o because I am a fisherman and he is a professor. Church Gist. He said but I know one thing: it is written, “be holy for I am holy.” How many of you want to see God on the last day? How many of you are ready for a life of total perfection? Stand on your feet.
You’re going to cry to him very soon, asking for grace to live an absolutely perfect life.
