God’s original
plan when He created the world was for it to be perfect, because anything God
creates is a reflection of Himself, which was perfection. When you read the
creation story in Genesis 1 you will find out after God finished a day’s work
He would see what He had done and call it good; and when God calls a thing good,
it implies that it has reached the zenith of which nothing could be better. Now,
Adam sold this perfect world to one who had an imperfect spirit (the devil) and
of course once the world was in the hands of an imperfect being, then
everything done by that person is a reflection of the spirit the person
possesses. Let’s look at the Believers life in this light.
The world has
been controlled by the devil and this implies everything we did was imperfect
and therefore not up to God’s standard. As we know Jesus came to restore that
perfect spirit of God to us, which of course would reflect in our attitude.
Jesus brought perfection to this world so it is left to us to choose what
spirit we want.
Jesus performed
a lot of miracles, but the miracles really happened because of the spirit He
carried which was the perfect spirit; so when He laid hands on people, He sent
perfection into them, which was the way God wanted. Sickness, diseases, poverty,
being possessed by the devil and many like these, are all not from the perfect spirit
of God; you could see this from the story of the woman with the issue of blood,
she touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and perfection flowed into her [ref.
Matthew 9:20; Mark 5:25; Luke 8:43]. Every miracle Jesus performed was just the
movement of the perfect spirit into an imperfect entity.
As Believers, we
all got the perfect spirit of God the moment we accepted Jesus as Lord, so our
spirit is the same spirit that Jesus possesses, that is why we are joint heirs
with Him [ref. Romans 8:17]. When we declare words over a thing, the power of
perfection takes over; it could be a sick person, your job, even the weather! Remember
if nothing is impossible with God, then nothing is impossible with you because
you possess the spirit of Jesus, all you need is just to believe in what you
possess.
Our words are
powerful because whatever we say affects something, this is why Jesus said He
will judge every idle word, “But I tell
you that men will have to give account on the day of judgement for every
careless word they have spoken.” (Matthew 12:36- NIV). This judgement
implies that every word we say contains word meant for use, for perfecting a
thing and not without purpose; this is seen in God almighty as He never speaks
without it affecting something.
So, when you lay
hands on someone, you send perfection into that person; when you speak it
contains power and perfection, so mind where you send it. Remember, the Holy Spirit
is our guide on how to use the raw power we have been given, all to give glory
to God; it’s because of the love He has for us and this is the gospel truth.
Why not accept
Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus,
I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God
raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank
You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand
new!
