QUESTION AND ANSWER SERIES (Wearing of Trousers by Women) 
TEXT: Deuteronomy 22:1-12
KEY VERSE: Romans 10:4: “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.”
QUESTION: Why the emphasis that a woman should not wear trouser but not on the other laws in Deuteronomy 22?
ANSWER:
This is part of the law given to the children of Israel. Now we are not in the time of the law. We are in the time of Grace. Christ is the end of the law, the commandments to those who believe. The righteousness of the law says every Israelites must obey these things if you must life but the present righteousness right it in our hearts, the just shall live by faith in God. The present righteousness is not by keeping the Law of Moses but by observing the principles of righteousness and as the result some details of the law that applied to Israel have been abolished. But the principles of righteousness that lived in the Law continue because the Law is written in our conscience. It is now in our hearts. Now we still have to obey it in Christ because it will affect our morality.
Deuteronomy 22:1 Thou shalt not see the brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother. The Bible says he that knoweth what to do and he does not do unto him is sin and again the Lord summarized the scripture all that is required into love. If you know that this is your brother’s child of just one and a half year old that has let the house and is now found in the street and you know this person has missed the mother, this child has missed the father or who ever brought the child out and you leave the child there in the evening and darkness is coming, will you say you are righteous? You are not righteous. The principle of love still holds in Christ. What if it has been your child? So the principle remains which then makes it the moral law of love towards your neighbor.
Deuteronomy 22:5: The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. The use of trousers by women is condemned because it stirs lusts in men and promotes immorality in the society. Based on this fact, this law has not been cancelled because all about the commandments of God is righteousness and holiness.
Thought for the day: The moral law continues.
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 4-6; Hebrews 10:1-23

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...
