WEDNESDAY JULY 5 TEXT: MATTHEW 5:14-16 KEY VERSE: “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31). The Bible does not list the kind of dresses, fashions and designs a believer should adopt. However, it presents guiding principles for Christian dressing, which include the following: • The dress must cover the body to avoid being a stumbling block to others (1Timothy 2:9). • Avoid worldly fashions and designs aimed at corrupting the society (James 4:4). • A woman must not put on a man's dress; neither should a man put on a woman's dress (Deuteronomy 22:5). Trousers are strictly for men and any kind of trouser by whatever name it is called is forbidden for women. • Christian virtues of meekness, gentleness, humility, temperance, goodness and modesty must be seen in the believer's comportment. Avoid flamboyance in dressing (1Timothy 2:10, 2Peter 1:5-8, 3:1-6 and Galatians 5:22-23). • The believer must be an example to other believers in his or her clothing (1Timothy 4:12). • He or she must not dress for show-off (Galatians 5:26). • Projecting the glory of God must be the sole aim in bodily clothing (1Corinthians 10:31). The wedding garment used by the people of the world is transparent and does not cover properly. Some parts of the bride's body are made bare. The Christian bride wedding garment must be decent and must cover her body properly. For this purpose, she may avoid renting a wedding garment but sew one for herself to satisfy her Christian conviction. Believers have the liberty to use as many designs or styles of clothing as they desire, as long as they do not transgress scriptural principles. Some churches prohibit their members from using some kind of dresses or clothes. Some of these prohibitions are the traditions of such churches and have no scriptural backing. We must not condemn anyone for what he or she puts on which does not transgress against the law of decency, nor violate the scripture. We must not judge, belittle or condemn one another on what does not transgress against God's commandment. What you don't want to put on, another person wants to and he is not sinning against God for doing so. Thought for the day: Avoid worldly dressing. Dress clean, decent and holy. Song for the day: Create in me clean heart O Lord. Bible reading for the day: Job 31-32; Acts 13:1-23 #horemow.

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
