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

UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
