THE EXEMPLARY HOLY GARMENT OF JESUS AND THE SAINTS

TEXT: MARK 15:24 

Key Verse: 1Timothy 4:12…but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 
They crucified Him and the cloth they found on Him was valuable and useful that they could not tear them. They got them in full, the top and lower. They cast lots for who could pick the top and lower. From this scripture, we understand the kind of dressing Jesus used. He dressed in a clean, modern,e and noble way, devoid of flamboyance as in the world. His cloth attracted the soldiers so that they cast lots on them on whom to take it for personal use. We are saying this so that nobody will say Christianity means dressing shabbily, not wearing reasonable clothes, being poor in appearance; being indecent,t and going for the lowest. Jesus dressed well and respectably because a good dressing on you is important for human respect and honor. If you do not dress appropriately, you will not command honor. Our Lord Jesus dressed well and His appearance was honored. People delighted in His dressing. Yet, we need to differentiate this from flamboyance, ostentation,n and worldliness appearances.
Luke 7:26-But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 
Jesus was describing John the Baptist and his clothing, which was different from the ones you found in places of flamboyance. He said, if you talk about flamboyant and gorgeous dressing, go to the king’s palace, where money is wasted. Those people do not only give attention to dressing but they live delicately, in feasting, drunkenness, dancing and all that gratifies the flesh. Is that where you will find the prophet of God? Is that how you will find the prophet of God? He said, no. John the Baptist, the prophet of God did not dress like that; neither did Jesus dress as one in the king’s palace. He did not dress in excess or as a man living delicately nor in rags. 
That is, God looks on earth saying that the dressing of My people is not of those dressing to show riches, wealth or like those living worldly, ostentatious,s and high life. That is what He is showing us in the above scripture. Our dressing and adornment should portray our calling, for our clothing describes who we are in the world. We should show who we are. John was a prophet and Jesus was a Messiah to save both the rich and poor. Thus, He did not dress like the rich in the world nor like the poor man or pauper. He dressed nobly, righteous,y and respectfully to give Him success in His ministry. Brethren, dress to glorify GOD! 

Thought for the day: Our dressing and adornment should portray our holy calling 

Song for the day: Peace, purity, power (2X) are mine in the Lord (2X)…

Bible reading for the day: Ezra 3-5; John 20.

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...
