CREATIVE WRITING | THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS

Shalom shalom, hope you slept well. Today as promised, we will talk on what is the perfection of the teachings in Christ. we will not be that explicite because this is status. But the general idea will be given.

Let me start.
Eph.4.12 - For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph.4.13 - Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Eph.4.14 - That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

One thing we will notice on the last verse is the attachement of children with doctrines. it says wind, because it's a flow and it's not constant. children are more conscious and excited about doctrines. but there is what is called perfection in Christ, and it is not for children. e.g, think about it, why is it that in the men of faith in Heb 11, no specific New Testament personality is mentioned? ☺️ Selah

The first is the Perfecting of the saints: Notice that though they are saints, they are not yet perfect according to divine standards. saints here doesn't mean without sin, it means set aside. i.e they are set aside to be made perfect. they have doctrines which are elementary. but there is strong meat to make them perfect (Complete).

Matt.5.48 - Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matt.19.21 - Jesus said unto him, *If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Luke.6.40 - The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

John.17.23 - I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one ; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Perfection here is not by reading and believing. Perfection here to do with the working or training by God, through men. That is why for the saints to be perfect, the responsibility was given to men (five fold, Gal4:1-2), and not the book (Biblos). Jesus perfected the apostles by training them👉

The bible said, he gave them power! they didn't read about power. He taught them how to pray, they didn't read about prayer!
To raise the death, cleanse the lepers, heal sicknesses and diseases, you need beyond reading on healing, practicals on such. That is why though you read, you can replicate the reading because a synonym to doctrine is theory. Go check
As it is always said, Practice makes perfect☺️

There is a dimension of Christ that is locked up in men. e.g the bible will not tell you how to interpret dreams, but the fivefold have been given insight on dreams, decoding the voice of God, tongues interpretation, and many more spirtual advantages. the bible is there to inform, while the five fold is there to bring you into perfeomance the information gotten from the bible. this is done by co-working with the spirit of Christ.

When you read Eph4:12-13, you will see that perfecting there is in;
Perfecting (continuous) of the saints, the *work of the ministry, the edifying of the body, Unity of the faith, not faith! knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man!and the measure of the stature of the fulness! of Christ
Though you are a saint, you don't have all these until you are trained in the school of the spirit!

So, useful spiritual infos, is not only what is not contradictory to the scripture, but also that which is revealed by the spirit of Christ. Some infos can be scripturaly correct but from the wrong spirit. Go on for perfection!

The last one is good works!
perfection will teach you how to manifest power. that is why you will see that the people that walked with pht T.B Joshua, could replicate in no time what he could do and that you were just reading about. that is perfection in witnessing. Look at pht Uebert, his sons easily prophesy, Pst chris, they easily flow in healing. if we are not equiped, we will so inform people, but not transform the territory.
we are not sent only to win souls, but to mostly colonize territories.
