TOPIC: WE DRESS IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WORD AND FOR HIS GLORY
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 10:31
31. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
KEY VERSE: 1 PETER 1:14-As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in your ignorance:
We dress in obedience to the word of God. As obedient children, as obedient ministers, leaders, in the holiness ministry like this; don't fashion yourself like the unbelievers like the way you were dressing before born again. There should be a change now.
People are copying from you. How are you then leading people to holiness, to perfection in life? Remember that the soul, body and spirit are connected together. Dressing is very, very important. And so, if you are obedient to the word of God, you will dress as a holy minister.
We dress to project and reflect the glory of God. In all that you do, do it to the glory of God. When you are going to the market to buy your clothes, when you are dressing to come out, even before your wife and your children; is it to the glory of God or is it in pride? That is very important.
How would Jesus dress? Do I look like him? How would Jesus look if He is to appear before us? He will look glorious and magnificent! Are you glorious? Are you smart? Are you something to be admired with what you are dressing? I mean in a godly way!
Some of you here are wearing slippers and your trousers are nothing to write home about. Some of you have not even ironed your clothes. You have many reasons to give. Are they acceptable? Although some of these things may not be sinful, but still, appropriate and godly dressing should be seen in your life.
We dress for beauty and glory. Your glory as a pastor is in your dressing. In Exodus 28:2-And thou shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty. For glory and for beauty!
A holy minister should look glorious, beautiful, handsome and presentable in your dressing. So, the priests, Aaron and others dressed distinctively that others will copy and identify them so.
Thought for the day: Obedience to the word of God on holy dressing will bring great blessings and glory in your life
Song for the day: I surrender all
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 64-66
