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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 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...
