DISCIPLINE IN BODILY DRESSING AND ADORNMENT

God bless you for taking your time to study.

DISCIPLINE IN BODILY DRESSING AND ADORNMENT

TEXT: REVELATION 17: 1-4 

THURSDAY JANURY 5th 

Key Verse: Proverbs 7: 10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtle of heart.
This study is on outward dressing of believers and Christian leaders. Ensure you do not wear any cloth that is sub-standard. Discipline yourself in your outward appearance. The scriptures have spoken a lot against the use of jewellery; rings, chains, earrings, necklace and so forth. Satan has turned to putting jewels and rings on clothes and clothing materials these days. Do you know that precious stones and dazzling clothes were the dressing of the harlot in our scriptural text today? It makes the cloth shine like stars. Since they are not heavenly stars, their glory in human dressing and adornment is a disturbance to our environment. Remove those stones. Discipline yourself that no single shining stone will be on your clothes. Determine to be natural. Destroy the shining clothes you had before you knew Jesus, not minding the cost. Do not keep them in your box because they can eventually cause backsliding. In the same way, Christian men should avoid tight-fitting trousers, tight-fitting T-shirts and body hugs, public use of knickers, chains, rings and jewellery. Men should avoid punk hair, twisted hair and all ungodly hairstyles, not befitting of godliness.   
Remove the reproach of Egypt from off your life. You might have snapped some pictures when you were a sinner adorned like the daughter of Satan and hung round your house. Now that you are a Christian, remove them out of your house. Let people see newness in your life. If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away. If any man’s house has become Christ’s, it is a new house. Gather those things; properties, wrong clothes and pictures and remove them out of your house. This is Christian discipline to ensure you get to heaven. If you do not want to fall, nothing should draw your mind back to yesterday. You are moving forward; you have not yet attained but you want to attain the heavenly calling in Christ Jesus. You should be serious about it. Woman, you say you are born again but your skirts have not gone down well. They are still flying. Amend them or change them.

Thought for the day Ensure that your appearance at all time befits godliness

Song for the day My life shall be a testimony…

Bible reading for the day: Genesis 12-14; Matthew 5:1-26

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...
