We can be perfect

Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. ~Matthew 5:48

We serve a living God. He is perfect in all His ways. There is neither mistake nor imperfection associated with him. Not only is He God but he is also our Father, our Friend, our Comforter, our Advocate, our Savior, our Helper and our all in all.

We might have heard people say that we are not perfect and nobody is. But let me tell you this, we can be perfect because our heavenly Father is perfect.

We can be righteous. We can live a life of righteousness. It is not impossible to live a life of purity. Remember you are the righteousness of God in Christ. You have the life and the Spirit of God dwelling and brooding inside of you.

This does not mean we will not face temptations. Even the Bible says that we should count it all joy when we face temptations. But we will overcome because we are no longer slave to sins, we are dead to sin. We are now children of God.

We as believers have to know what we carry, what has been given to us by God. That's why we cannot but live without the Word of God. It takes more than bread to live, it takes a daily streaming of God's word (Msg Bible paraphrased). You can't resist the devil if you do not know that the Word says you can.

We have to reflect on our lives. What is the Word saying about what we are about to do or doing presently? Does it please God? Just take a minute and tell God you want to know Him more. That you can't scale through the challenges of life without Him. Jesus's blood was shed for you and me. So we can be saved. He redeemed/delivered us from the power of darkness. He has brought us into the kingdom of light. And now we have access to the Father. He speaks and we hear, we can and He answers.

✨ Everything else that happens outside Your presence is just noise, pure noise... I love this song by Dunsin Oyekan. The title of the song is No words. You might want to listen it.

Happy Sunday fam❣️ Hope you went to church? Stay blessed.

Who else thinks the month of November is going too fast? Today is already the sixth day, when did we wish ourselves a happy new month?😁

Today was a great and busy day for me. I loved and enjoyed it. I went to church and came back around 10 o'clock. And as people say, rice and stew is for Sundays. I cooked rice and ate. I was feeling sleepy so I decided to take a short nap. The short nap turned out to be a very long and deep sleep.

I helped my neighbours plait their hair. They are in secondary school so they have to make their hair weekly and follow the hairstyle called. One made Concord while the other made Suku and base. We finished late in the evening.

Food! Food! Food!

In our house, we make sure we cook something unique and delicious every Sunday like pounded yam. We made this and I really enjoyed it. I would have invited you over but it's finished 😅 so till next time.

Thanks for reading 😍
