BRAIDED HAIR/PLAITING OF HAIR EXPLAINED

TEXT: EPHESIANS 2:1-3, 1 JOHN 2:15-16 
Key Verse: Nehemiah 8:8- So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
The reason God gives commandments to us is to instruct us on His righteous ways, to promote righteousness, prevent sin, and protect the righteous from satanic influence. Braiding or plaiting of hair in these passages does not refer to the simple clean and the decent way women weave their hair or use simple thread to tie strands of their hair to keep their hair natural, neat, long and feminine. It rather refers to the unnatural, ostentatious and fashionable hairdo practised by the ungodly, according to the dictates of their god and master, Satan. It is designed to satisfy the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.
1 John 2:15-16
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.
The ungodly woman applies many things to her hair for charming beauty and attraction. The following must not be indulged in by believers: perming, Jerry curling, hair attachment, weave-on, barbing of hair, dyeing of hair, use of wool, use of fashionable thread, and worldly styles of hairdressing. The long hair is given to the woman for her glory, while the man's dignity is in maintaining short hair. A woman appearing with trimmed or cut hair is a woman that has lost her natural given glory by her God. 
Many women complain about their hair, claiming it is strong and tough. Thank God, some women, who are determined to keep the word of God, have seen good and simple ways to make their hair soft and natural. Seek counsel. Do not fix ornaments or beads into your hair or that of your children. Some women, in the spirit of worldliness, turn simple threads into attachments. This is an abuse of their righteousness. Artificial hairdo of all kinds makes one a liar against the truth. 
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonour their bodies between themselves:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie...  Make me holy LORD

Thought for the day: Remove anything that will hinder you from making Heaven your body before it is too late.

Song for the day: My body, my spirit my soul all for Jesus (3X), all belong to Jesus

Bible reading: 2 Samuel 19-20; Luke 21:20-38

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...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
