*Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional* _Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _Saturday March 1st 2025_ *PERFECT AND COMPLETE* _*But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing (James 1:4).*_ There’re two key words I want you to notice in the verse above; the words *"perfect" and "entire." The term "perfect" comes from the Greek word “teleios,” which means complete. While "entire," on the other hand, is translated from the Greek word “holokleros”* and it means to be complete in every part; consummate, a wholeness, nothing that is needed is missing. This is the will of God for you. In Colossians 4:12, the Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, tells us something remarkable. He says, *“Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.”* Again, the word “perfect” here is the Greek *“teleios.”* And then Paul introduces another word, *“pleroo”* (Greek), translated as *"complete."* *“Pleroo”* means to be full, to be replete or chockful. It also signifies fulfilment, accomplishing a purpose, or bringing something to completion. This raises an important question: chockful or replete with what? It brings to mind Paul’s beautiful prayer of the Spirit in Colossians 1:9, that the Christians in Colossae may be filled, replete, with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding: *“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.”* Then the ensuing verse 10 tells us the reason for this repleteness in the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding: *“That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God”* (Colossians 1:10). Think about that! God wants you perfect and complete; consummate, whole, replete with the knowledge of His will so that you may live a life that’s worthy of Him and pleases Him in every way, being fruitful in every good work as you increase in the knowledge of God. Hallelujah! *PRAYER / CONFESSION* Dear Father, thank you for your Word that transforms and aligns me with your perfect will. As I meditate on your truth, I stand perfect and complete in all that you have planned for my life, guided by your Spirit into fullness and wholeness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. *FURTHER STUDY* 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Ephesians 3:19; Ephesians 4:13 *1-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN* Mark 9:14-32; Numbers 7-8 *2-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN* Matthew 19:1-12; Exodus 10 📌𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐋𝐘 𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐒📌👇👇 https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaN6elk0VycDs4LRdc0s 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐌 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐋👇👇👇 https://t.me/lovewordglobalinfluencers 𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐏 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄👇👇👇 https://chat.whatsapp.com/IHUeA006iOiA1BbOuhzHQ5 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑫𝑳𝒀 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝑻𝑶 𝑯𝑬𝑳𝑷 𝑺𝑷𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑮𝑶𝑺𝑷𝑬𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹𝒀 𝑴𝑨𝑵'𝑺 𝑾𝑶𝑹𝑳𝑫.
