TOPIC: NECESSITY OF SOUND SCRIPTURAL CONVICTION
TEXT: 2 Peter 1:19-21
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11th
KEY VERSE: Luke 17: 32 Remember Lot's wife
I am Sister Eva Awenle Anab, from the Lapaz unit, Accra, Ghana. God led me to HOREMOW through a series of dreams and events. While in secondary school I loved the dressing of Deeper Life sisters and I attended Retreat programs occasionally although I was a Methodist. I was just so happy with the way pastor Kumuyi preached and taught about sanctification and holiness. I learned a lot from them; how to live your life day to day is holy. I followed their teachings because I loved their lifestyle. I didn’t know why they do not wear earrings but I joined them in not wearing them. The teachings of pastor Kumuyi helped me a lot to walk in purity, in holiness. I practiced it with all my heart.
Concerning adornment, I had no scriptural understanding so when I later got married, I went back to wearing them. I didn’t perm my hair as a youth; I left it natural and I used the ceiling fan thread for plaiting but I went back when I got married in the church of Christ. I went back to wearing earrings because I never heard that the earrings would take someone to hell fire. I never heard anything like that. The day I permed my natural hair, I dreamt that I was falling into a deep darkness. When I got up, I prayed but I didn’t understand it. In 2019, I heard the testimony of a Jehovah's witness, Brother Kobena, on the radio and later on YouTube. He was taken to heaven and hell and brought back to testify.
He warned about adornment. He said, “I saw women tormented in hell fire for using jewelry in hell fire. I saw my mother who died as a member of the church of Christ in torment for wearing earrings, rings, and trousers.” I didn’t know that I was practicing the right thing as a youth in deeper life church. I saw that it was nice to wear a long skirt and keep natural hair also. I only joined them to do so. I never had an understanding. If I knew that these things were requirements for heaven, I would have held on to them but I went back to my earrings and lipstick as an adult. (Note: The testimonies are presented weekly as a series)
Thought for the day: Don’t turn around to the things you left behind
Song for the day: I have decided to follow Jesus
Bible reading for the day: Genesis 27-28; Matthew 9:18-38
