 FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.

DATE: SATURDAY 7th AUGUST
TOPIC: LET YOUR DRESSING GLORIFY GOD
TEXT: MATTHEW 5:14-16
Key verse: 1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do,
do all to the glory of God
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 (2Peter 1:5-8 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’s 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 the law of decency nor violate the scripture. We must not judge, belittle or condemn one another on what does not transgress 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 a clean heart O Lord.
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 79-81;
Romans 8:1-18. #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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
