GROSS MISCONCEPTION ON THE USE OF JEWELRY

GROSS MISCONCEPTION ON THE USE OF JEWELRY

TEXT: EXODUS 33: 4-6
 
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 17th

KEY VERSE Isaiah 61:10 “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God, for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation. He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.”
The church is in a great dilemma concerning the use of jewelry. Many have used several misunderstood scriptures to comfort themselves and to silence the voice of their conscience on the use of jewelry. Many Christians often argue that it was God that instructed that the jewels be put on the sons and daughters of Israel. It was not strange because having stayed in Egypt for a time without the knowledge of God, Israelites were practicing idolatry and the use of jewelry went together with idolatry. Their use did not continue in the dressing pattern among godly Israel. It could also be considered that putting jewelry on their sons and daughters was for preservation until they would be required in the wilderness.
God demands the total stripping off of ornaments from every Christian that has the goal of making heaven just as it happened among the children of God on mount Horeb. Those who understand the coming judgment of God and the evil that will befall mankind keep away all forms of jewelry but in churches where the usual practice is jumping and dancing, a celebration of worldly lifestyle, none among them will experience godly sorrow which leads to repentance. 
The clothing of God over His children is salvation and righteousness which gives great spiritual glory and joy. To clear this confusion in the body of Christ, God has taken many people from different races, tribes, and nations to heaven and hell to receive clarity on the use of jewelry by holy Christians. The scripture is very clear about the use of jewelry if only you approach it with an open heart.
Thought for the day: Heaven’s glory exceeds the fading beauty of the earth.
Song for the day: You take the whole world and give me Jesus………..
Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 107-108; Romans 15:22-33

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
