TOPIC: WE DRESS TO COVER, PROTECT AND HONOR OUR BODIES

TEXT: EXODUS 22:26-27

KEY VERSE: EXODUS 20:26-Neither shalt thou go up by steps into mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.

We dress to cover our nakedness. In Exodus Chapter 20, after the Ten Commandments have been given, what followed afterwards was the command on dressing. Do not let your nakedness be discovered. You are a pastor or a minister in Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide; whether at home or anywhere, where there are other people, apart from your wife, is your nakedness seen? Is it discovered? This you have to ask yourself.
Let not your nakedness be seen in your dressing, even in your own house, if you are not alone with your wife. Your nakedness should not be seen.

We dress to protect our body. Why do you put on clothes? It is to protect your body or the members of your body. You put on some clothes to protect your body from bad weather, insects and some things that would have destroyed it. God also has made the human body to be protected. That's the reason why He made or gave the commandment for clothes or garments to be put upon the body. 

We dress to honour our body. In 1 Corinthians 3:17, 6:19, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and should not be defiled. Thus, what are you putting upon that temple? If the Holy Spirit is to speak to you, will He rebuke you or correct you with what you are dressing? Will you be acceptable? Will the Holy Spirit say, “Yes, what you are wearing is pleasing unto Me? That which you put upon that which God has built, which is the temple of God, should be honorable. 

We dress as Christians to show that we are not under traditions of men. There are Christians or ministers that argue, “I am from this place and my people dress this way. If I don't dress like that, I won't be identified with them”. Then you are not yet a holy minister. You have not come out from amongst them. You must show that you are not under the tradition of men but under the tradition of God.

Thought for the day: Cover your nakedness to protect and honor your body. 

Song for the day: I am the clay, You are the Potter, Lord mold me as You want

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 37-39

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you want to be f
