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

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...

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 ...
