Pastor Jay Makopo - Accelerate! Part 2: The Deception of Perfection (CPT)

In Part 2 of the Accelerate series, Pastor Jay Makopo reveals how the pursuit of “perfect conditions” can hinder obedience. Rooted in Luke 9:57–62, this message challenges the tendency to hesitate, look back, or wait until life feels settled before fully following Jesus. Through Noah's example (Genesis 6), we are reminded that faith is demonstrated not by flawless circumstances, but by obedience to a perfect God. Noah trusted God’s word and acted before the rain came. His obedience was based not on certainty of the outcome but on confidence in who God is. As we accelerate, we are called to let go of perfectionism, stop negotiating the cost of following Jesus, and move forward without turning back. “No one who puts a hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” - Luke 9:62 (NIV)
