TOPIC:  THE USE OF ORNAMENTS IS TOTALLY PROHIBITED FOR THE GODLY.  SUNDAY JULY 23
TEXT:  Revelation 17:1-4
KEY VERSE:  1 Timothy 2:9  In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.

Today’s topic focuses on the prohibition of the use of any kind of ornaments by the children of God for bodily adornment. These are satanic properties and are unfit for a true believer whose life is totally dedicated to God and sanctified for His holy use.

1.       Gold. The use of gold is prohibited in bodily adornment among true and holy Christians. Gold as an element in creation is not forbidden for appropriate uses. But gold or jewel fashioned into items of bodily ornamentation is prohibited by God. Unbelievers use this freely in their pride of life, show of beauty and greatness. The use of this in bodily adornment has connection to idolatry. But believers must avoid the use of gold or jewelry in their dressing.

Numbers 31:50, 51 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD. And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

Gold in 1 Timothy 2:9 is the same thing as jewelry and is a compound word for items of ornamentation as seen in the passage above. These include: earrings, bracelets, chains, necklace, and rings. Beads and shining stones on clothes which make cloth glittering also belong to the family of jewelry. The scripture shows that harlots adorn themselves this way for their business. Believers must avoid shinning stones in their clothes and beads in their adornment. 

Be informed that the use of wedding or marital ring came from the tradition of men, not the word of God and it makes the user unholy and damnable. Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

2.       Pearls. These are precious substances used by some high standing women for show of wealth and beauty. Believers don't use them.

3.       Costly Array/ Wearing of Apparel. This speaks of the display of clothing by some women who desire to supersede others for self-glory and the praise of men. The believer must avoid high-heeled shoes and use of costly wristwatches with golden chains for human recognition.

Thought for the day:  Do not follow the tradition of men. Live by the infallible Word of God.  
Song for the day:  Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty.

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 36-37; Acts 23:1-11

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
