TOPIC:  THE DRESSING AND COMPORTMENT OF HOLY WOMEN.  SATURDAY JULY 22
TEXT:  1 PETER 3:2-5
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.” (1Timothy 2:9).

Our scriptures today are addressing the appearance of holy women. The word “gold” in the memory verse means jewelry, which is a collective word for earrings, rings, nose rings, chains, necklace, bracelets (i.e. items of ornamentation or bodily decoration). Holy women of old time did not adorn themselves with items of beauty and worldliness which 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 ear rings, nose jewel, chains, necklace, ring 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: Psalm 36-37; Acts 23:1-11

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 wa...
