THE DRESSING AND COMPORTMENT OF HOLY WOMEN

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC:  THE DRESSING AND COMPORTMENT OF HOLY WOMEN

TEXT: 1 PETER 3:2-5 

SATURDAY APRIL 29TH 

KEY VERSE: Key verse: “In like manner also that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold or pearls or costly array.” (1 Timothy 2:9).
Our scriptures today are addressing the appearance of holy women. The word “gold” in the memory verse means jewellery, which is a collective word for earrings, rings, nose rings, chains, necklaces, and bracelets (i.e. items of ornamentation or bodily decoration). Holy women of old times did not adorn themselves with items of beauty and worldliness that were prevalent among the backsliders and ungodly society of their day. They clothed themselves with meekness, quiet spirit, and holiness, which in the sight of God is of great price. They were modest in outward appearance.
The Bible reveals the worldliness in adornment that characterized the Old Testament time, which has continued till today. The ungodly daughters of Zion borrowed these worldly adornments from the heathen nations around them. God had warned Israel not to learn the ways of the heathen (Isaiah 3: 16-20). To adorn yourself with these things makes you unholy before God. Today, there are many children of God, even ministers of God, who use earrings, nose jewels, chains, necklaces, rings, etc. These things hinder them from being truly holy in the sight of God. Humble yourself and remove them and do not risk your eternal soul by vain arguments. They were items of decoration and pride of sinful nations in the Bible time and in today's unbelieving world and the backslidden church.
It is unfortunate that some pastors permit or encourage their members to put on these ungodly adornments. Some know this truth but choose to ignore it. They shall go with their members to hell. There is no respect of persons with God.

Thought for the day:  Do not be conformed to the world. 

Song for the day: Holy is the LORD.

Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 21-22; Luke 22:1-30

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
