I remember a while back when I tried to learn how to play the keyboard. I was so eager to learn and yet impatient to go through all the stages that when I could not play a worship song on the second day, I gave up training. As a result, I cannot play the keyboard today. I decided instead to use my voice to sing whilst others play the instrument. But I know that if I had wanted it badly, I would have persevered and learnt it.

Simply put, I abandoned this learning project. You and I are God’s projects. He is working something in us, and one thing is for sure: He will not abandon us.

The theme scripture for the month is “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me: thy mercy, O Lord, endures for ever: forsake not the works of Your hands.” (Psalm 138:8)

The dictionary meaning of perfection is “to finish” or “bring to an end.” Is there any stagnant or abandoned project in your life? The time for its completion is now, in Jesus name.

In our theme scripture for the month (Psalm 138:8), God has promised to perfect all that concerns us. Every seeming stagnant or abandoned project in your life will be brought to an expected end in Jesus name.

You might have given up on your marriage because of all the difficulties involved, or you are considering giving up on getting a better job, getting married or even having a child. Giving up those hopes now is like giving up because you are not able to play a worship song on the second day of learning to play a keyboard.

Patience is an essential virtue for the completion of anything. This is why James 1:4 enjoins us to “Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” An uncompleted building always looks ugly but the same building becomes enchanting at completion. Imagine how long it took to complete our new church auditorium and how unattractive it was at some points; but today it is a beautiful building, inspiring joy and pride. This same principle applies in our lives –God has taken you through all the stages and now is the time for supernatural completion.

Some people may have given up on you; even you may have given up on yourself, but God has not. Your perfection is now, in Jesus name. Don’t allow frustration to remove you from the faith. Get up and try again, you will get it this time. I believe, do you believe?

Happy new month!
