God bless you for taking your time to study.

IS THE USE OF THREAD FOR PLAITING HAIR PERMITTED? Part 1
TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 2:8-10 FRIDAY NOVEMBER 25
Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 10:31. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 
The recommendation of the scripture is that which is appropriate for feminine dressing- women professing godliness. How much you need is not specified, what is specified is that which is suitable for women professing godliness. There are wrappers that you can buy with seven hundred naira. There are others that range between seven thousand to seventy thousand naira. In the society where you are, how do people look at you with the kind of cloth you put on? We shall consider the Divine injunctions in 1 Timothy 2:8-10 
8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 
10, But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
Whatever you want to wear, you are supposed to answer the question- if you wear it, will it affect your godliness before the people? Will the people see a sign in you that there is ungodliness? How will the society read you when you put on that cloth? That you are high-minded? The bible here is trying to make you avoid anything that will corrupt your mind or that of the society as being high-minded. Humility will be corrupted. Avoid wearing anything that will affect you or make the society murmur against you. Does not nature itself teach you? What are the comments of the society around you, the people in whose midst you are? That is why Apostle Paul said you put on only that which becometh women professing godliness. Your claim of godliness must be authenticated by your clothing and adornment. The society around you should see the gospel of righteousness and holiness in your dressing. Your hairdo must not conform to the fashions of this world that comes to naught.

Thought for the day: Is God glorified in your clothing and adornment?

Song for the day: I want to know you more and more.

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 34-35; 1 Peter 2

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...
