JOHN WESLEY- THE PIONEER OF
HOLINESS MOVEMENT. TUESDAY OCTOBER 3
TEXT: REVELATION 17: 1-6
Key
Verse: Having
therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all
filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of
God. ‘‘2 Corinthians 7:1
John Wesley was used mightily by the
Lord to pioneer Holiness Movement into the world in the 18th
century. It was founded on Biblical truth and redeemed many in world and
purified many believers in the Churches. By his lifestyle and teaching, many
made it to heaven. He taught holiness of heart through a definite experience of
sanctification in the heart of a believer which is required to cleanse him from
inbred sin, Adamic nature or inward depravity, in order to render the heart
holy and undefiled before God. He did not only emphasize on inward holiness, he
also taught outward holiness which involves removal of ungodly clothing and
adornment for total conformity to the holiness of God.
Removal
of Jewelry (earring, rings, nose ring, bracelet, Necklace, bits and all items
of ornamentation is a Biblical command to Christian women 1Timothy 2:8-10. Number
31:50-51.) Christian women should have proper head covering when praying or
in worship service, 1Corinthians 11:3-6.
Avoidance of perming, Jerry-curling, hair attachment, weave-on, wool in hair
plaiting, is condemned in scripture. Also cortex, lipstick, painting of the
body, bleaching, keeping of long nails, painting of nails, artificial
eyelashes, use of short skirts or gown, body hugs, deep-cut dresses, trousers
also called pants/slacks, see through dresses, high heel shoes, dresses with
shining stones, and such like, are condemned as the dressing of harlots by the
scripture . Revelation 17:1-6.
But
the enemy has badly affected John Wesley’s work. All the Methodist churches are
far away from the teachings of John Wesley today. Now youths in the church
dress with sagging, do evil haircuts, wear earrings, put on tied fitting cloths
without rebuke by the church. Note also that divorce and remarriage when the
marriage partner, man or woman, is still alive is a sin to God, Romans 7:2, 3; 1 Corinthians 7: 10, 11. The fear of God has failed in many
congregations. In our day the Lord Himself has raised up Holiness Revival
Movement Worldwide (Non- Denominational) under the Leadership of Pastor Paul
Rika, the international Director, to restore Truth, Righteousness and Holiness
back to His Church. Through Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide many sinners
are being brought to the Lord and believers sanctified and made holy worldwide.
Thought
for the day: Horemow is a fast growing non-denominational ministry which has
covered about 35 nations of the world as at the time of this writing.
Song
for the day: All over the world, the Spirit is moving……
#Horemow.
