TOPIC:  THE USE OF ORNAMENTS IS TOTALLY PROHIBITED FOR THE GODLY.  SUNDAY JULY 23
TEXT:  Revelation 17:1-4
KEY VERSE:  1 Timothy 2:9  In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.

Today’s topic focuses on the prohibition of the use of any kind of ornaments by the children of God for bodily adornment. These are satanic properties and are unfit for a true believer whose life is totally dedicated to God and sanctified for His holy use.

1.       Gold. The use of gold is prohibited in bodily adornment among true and holy Christians. Gold as an element in creation is not forbidden for appropriate uses. But gold or jewel fashioned into items of bodily ornamentation is prohibited by God. Unbelievers use this freely in their pride of life, show of beauty and greatness. The use of this in bodily adornment has connection to idolatry. But believers must avoid the use of gold or jewelry in their dressing.

Numbers 31:50, 51 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD. And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

Gold in 1 Timothy 2:9 is the same thing as jewelry and is a compound word for items of ornamentation as seen in the passage above. These include: earrings, bracelets, chains, necklace, and rings. Beads and shining stones on clothes which make cloth glittering also belong to the family of jewelry. The scripture shows that harlots adorn themselves this way for their business. Believers must avoid shinning stones in their clothes and beads in their adornment. 

Be informed that the use of wedding or marital ring came from the tradition of men, not the word of God and it makes the user unholy and damnable. Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

2.       Pearls. These are precious substances used by some high standing women for show of wealth and beauty. Believers don't use them.

3.       Costly Array/ Wearing of Apparel. This speaks of the display of clothing by some women who desire to supersede others for self-glory and the praise of men. The believer must avoid high-heeled shoes and use of costly wristwatches with golden chains for human recognition.

Thought for the day:  Do not follow the tradition of men. Live by the infallible Word of God.  
Song for the day:  Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty.

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 36-37; Acts 23:1-11

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
