 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

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...
  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
