JEWELRY IS USED TO ENHANCE SEDUCTION

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: JEWELRY IS USED TO ENHANCE SEDUCTION

TEXT: HOSEA 2:5-13 
 
TUESDAY  SEPTEMBER 6th

KEY VERSE – JEREMIAH 4:30 
“And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold. Still, thou retest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair, thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.”
In the Bible days, jewelry was seen to promote charming beauty and it is the dressing of harlots. They used jewelry and makeup to make themselves beautiful and to sell themselves out in immorality to men. In our text today, it shows clearly that the woman referred to in this place played harlotry. The items she used to beautify herself for her immoral lovers included earrings and other items of jewelry. Israel was pictured here as a harlot.
The key verse today pictures a harlot who made herself beautiful to her lovers. The things done to achieve her purpose were “clothing herself with crimson, deck up herself with ornaments of gold” (jewellery), and “renting her face with painting” (make-up). To keep to the law of decency and holiness, believing women should avoid those things in their dressing. They belong to harlots. Even the natural sense of a decent woman will teach that those materials are not godly. Over time in the Christian journey, women who are strongly devoted to the service of God would not put on jewelry. They yielded themselves totally to God in complete purity and godly life.
Do not be among the multitude of women who claim to be spiritual who often claim that they hear from God themselves and that if God wants them to remove their jewelry, He would have told them. No man can compel God on how He would speak to the man. He can decide to use any means. This channel (devotional of today) is one of them. Obey God’s voice today! 

Thought for the day: Every property of harlotry defiles the candidates of heaven.

Song for the day: Make me holy (3x) O Lord…

Bible reading for the day: 
Proverbs 9-10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-32

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
