GUIDING PRINCIPLES ON CHRISTIAN DRESSING 
TEXT:  MATTHEW 5:14-16
Key verse:  “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of 
God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31).

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 dress (Deuteronomy 22:5). Trousers are strictly for men any form 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 (1Timothy 2:10, 2Peter 1:5-8, 3:1-6  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).

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 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 against the law of decency, nor violate the scripture. 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: Divine revelation messages are for the good of mankind.
Song for the day: All glory glory glory to the Lord...
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 31-32; Titus 2

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
