REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN

DATE: THURSDAY 24TH FEBRUARY

TOPIC: THE MEANING OF GOLD/JEWELLERY AND THE PURPOSE FOR THEIR PROHIBITION

TEXT: 1TIMOTHY.2:8-10

Key verse: 1Peter 3:3 “Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, or of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel.

The word ‘gold’ in the above passage and 1 Peter 3:3 means jewellery.

Numbers 31:50-51

50 “We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.

51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.”

What is jewellery? The Bible uses the word gold or jewellery to denote items of ornamentation or adornment used by both men and women, especially women.

They are items of decoration and charming beauty. These include earrings, nose rings, necklaces, chains, bracelets, rings. The jewels and other materials used in the manufacturing of jewellery constitute precious stones, metals, etc.

Earrings are being made of various sizes, shapes, and materials. They are made from gold, silver, brass, ivory, stones and wood. They are sometimes plain and sometimes adorned with precious stones.

Some are small and stick closely to the ear, leaving no intermediate space, while others are large and heavy and drop some distance below the ear. Some of these by their weight leave a large hole in the part of the ear where they are hung. They pull down the ear, making the hole visible.

The word jewellery is an all-inclusive word covering these items of adornment or bodily beauty used by women and men. Those who use jewellery in their dressing give various reasons for their use.

To some, the use of earrings and nose rings by women differentiate them from men and serve as a feminine identification mark. Some claim that the use of rings on various fingers and maybe toes too have significance.

They say that the public may need to be informed that they are not yet married or have married or are engaged or are in widowhood, etc.

This information is conveyed to those they interact with using rings on fingers and toes. Some claim that the use of golden jewellery by God's children show that they are not children of poverty but the rich and wealthy.

By this conviction, they hang golden chains, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, to appear flamboyant and ostentatious in their adornment.

Some use these things innocently and ignorantly; not for any reason, but because they see them on other men and women and consider them as articles of human adornment. Don't fall a victim

Thought for the day: Jewelleries defile your body and will hinder your heavenly race

Song for the day: I will never, never, go back to the world…

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 11-13;
Mark 5:21-43

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...

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.

It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
