TOPIC: LIFE IS PERFECT! MAKE IT HAPPEN ( Written by Bishop Dr Chris Kwakpovwe)
BASIC SCRIPTURE: JAMES 1:1-18
As you drive off the Johannesburg Airport, the six words above stare at you conspicuously. Many years ago, at first instance, struggled with the words, “Life is perfect” till I was hit suddenly by the fact that God made all things well (Genesis 1:31). Indeed, God made all things perfect, but He expects you to work out that perfection in a process of time. God expects you to make it happen and your failure or success on planet earth is a function of your ability/wisdom in working out that perfect gift called, “life .
consider below a few keys on how to make it happen in your journey through life:
- Be connected DAILY to divinity (God) through a systematic study of His Word – the Bible. Discipline is required!
- Always have a financial plan or budget. A budget acts as a guide and keeps you safe from overspending or buying on impulse, etc.
- Always determine to bounce back after every failure/ mistake or negative experience like, loss of job, loss of a loved one, loss of integrity, disappointments, premature retirement, etc.
- Save more! Cut down on luxuries or entertainment. Maybe you need to earn an income by taking on a second job, without affecting your commitment to God, your family or local church. If you get a salary raise, increase your saving amount per month.
- Forgive easily and foolishly! James 1:17 says: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” Believe that God made all things perfect and believe that you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!

There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus,

And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,

No, not one! No, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us,

No, not one! No, not one!
Or sinner find that He would not take him?
5. No, not one! No, not one!Was e’er a gift like the Savior given?
No, not one! No, not one!
Will He refuse us a home in heaven?
No, not one! No, not one!
