TOPIC: HEAD COVERING IN THE CHURCH. WEDNESDAY AUGUST 23
TEXT: 1 Corinthians 11:4-7
KEY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
1 Corinthians 11:13-15.
13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
It is ungodly for a woman to be in the presence of God in worship without a head covering, just as it is ungodly for a man to be in the presence of God in worship with a covering on his head. The covering refers to here is not the hair on her head but a scarf, a head tie or hat. The head tie or hat must be the void of fashion or worldliness. It must be befitting of a holy woman. Head covering is only during worship, when a woman is praying or prophesying.
Because Christ is the head of the man, during worship (that is, praying, prophesying, preaching and teaching of God’s word), the man should leave his head bare without covering it with a piece of cloth, cap or hat. His bare head should be seen. It is a physical symbolism of the presence and glory of Christ the Head, Leader and Saviour. During this period also, the women should cover their heads with a material head covering to show in a physical sense that man is not in headship and his glory should be covered at such moment for man is the head of the woman and the woman is the glory of the man. To do otherwise as practiced in some places of worship is contrary to the scripture. However, the head covering by woman is not a thing to be done at all times and in every place. It is observed only during formal sessions of worship to God and in her prayers to God. The long hair given to her is for her glory and does not require constant covering except during worship period.
Thought for the day: Dress appropriately to honour God in worship.
Song for the day: Thou art worthy O Lord … To receive glory, honour and power
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 119:105-176; 1Corinthians 5

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...
