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

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...
