BIBLICAL TEACHING ON CHRISTIAN DRESSING MONDAY JANUARY 30
TEXT: 2TIMOTHY 2:19-21, 1TIMOTHY 2:8-10
Key verse: “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God” 2 Corinthians 7:1.
When a person is born again he is to be taught all things the Lord commanded us in the Scripture. Not all preachers of the gospel bother about the outward appearance of a believer. But holiness cannot be achieved without freedom from worldliness in physical appearance. Biblical teaching on Christian dressing is not for everyone, but for those professing godliness, who seek to be holy. This teaching is aimed at raising holy men and women for God in these last days, to present a Church without spot or wrinkle to Christ at His second coming.
Founding fathers of many Christian assemblies taught against the use of Jewelry in Christian dressing, in the light of the Scriptures, to keep their members, but when their ministries passed away by death, leaders of succeeding generations succumbed to pressure from their members and allowed the use of jewelry, arguing that it is none essential or that the scripture has not really prohibited their use. The founding fathers of such assemblies did not put their conviction and doctrine into writing to make it plain and accessible to all succeeding generations. This doctrine was only emphasized verbally and when their members ceased hearing of them, their conviction weakened and faded away.
The message and doctrines of the gospel were best preached and preserved through writing. There are hard scriptural texts on jewelry that require exposition to make their meaning clear. When these texts are misinterpreted or not rightly interpreted, they become stumbling blocks which make many to lose their conviction on the doctrine. Apostle Peter acknowledged that there are some portions of scripture which are hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable misinterpret to their own destruction and to the destruction of those that hear them. Any believer that refuses to conform to sound Christian teaching on Christian dressing, in modesty and sobriety, is not holy and cannot see God
Thought for the day: Prayerfully study to make yourself approved unto God.
Song for the day: Open my eyes O Lord, Alleluia (3x) I am ready to obey (2x)…

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...
