APPEARANCE AND MODESTY OF A HOLY CHRISTIAN

God's blessings shall follow you, for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: APPEARANCE AND MODESTY OF A HOLY CHRISTIAN 

TEXT: ISAIAH 3: 16-24

SATURDAY JULY 15TH

Key verse: Jeremiah 4:30, And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do?  Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Question: Sir, please I have three questions; Is it sinful to use powder for babies, children and even adults for rashes? Is weaving or plaiting with thread a sin? Is it right for a woman to be cutting her hair?
Answer: To use powder for your children to arrest heat or rashes is not wrong. To use medicated powder while at home is not wrong but don’t paint or decorate your face with powder which is part of the appearance of a harlot. The aim of this painting is to arrive at a smooth, beautiful and attractive appearance. That is wicked and evil. You may say my own is not like that, I sweat a lot. Are you the only person God made in this world that sweats? We also sweat but we don’t use powder? Those who do so desire to achieve something else; artificial beauty. Avoid this as a Christian.
Concerning the second question, there is nothing wrong with modest weaving or plaiting with simple thread as long as you are not worldly in your design. Thread has been in use for many years before the use of attachment began. There is nothing wrong with plaiting or weaving neatly with simple thread but not in the fashion of this present world.
Finally, about the cutting of the hair, it is not a feminine habit in our African community for a woman to cut her hair. However, in case something is wrong; there may be injury on your head or maybe you permed it and you want to remove it for natural hair growth, you may cut your hair but cover it in public so that you can appear feminine in society. In this way, your glory is maintained as a woman in the society. Cover it up with a scarf. 

Thought for the day: Holiness is the beauty of the believers

Song for the day: Lord I want to be like Jesus inner my heart

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 17-18; Acts 19:1-20

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
