The Perfect Man

Apostle Grace Lubega

James 3:2(AMP); For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature.

God’s mind on perfection is rather intriguing.

He does not define a perfect man as one who is perfect in moral character; one whose reputation is pristine; one who wears garbs of piety and cloaks of holiness.

Primarily, the perfect man is he who does not offend in speech and never says the wrong things.

He is the man who will never confess sickness regardless of what his body says.

He is a man who will never speak of himself as poor even when his bank balance is low.

He is the man who can never speak anything negative about his business, marriage or career even when it is going down the drain.

Perfection in speech is the apex of Christian maturity and the axis of true mastery.

The perfect man controls his body and curbs his entire nature, like our theme scripture teaches.

Child of God, purpose never to say the wrong things; that is the only guarantee that you will accurately direct your course and destiny.

Glory to God!

PRAYER: Loving father, I thank you for this wisdom. You continually teach me to rule my spirit, and what greater way can a man rule his spirit than have mastery over his tongue? Today, my eyes are opened to the definition of perfection in the mind of eternity and as such I purpose to live and walk in this understanding. Circumstances will never taint the integrity of the words on my lips because I am never moved by what I see. I am moved by what I believed. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
