THE DRESSING AND COMPORTMENT OF HOLY WOMEN

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC:  THE DRESSING AND COMPORTMENT OF HOLY WOMEN

TEXT: 1 PETER 3:2-5 

SATURDAY APRIL 29TH 

KEY VERSE: Key verse: “In like manner also that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold or pearls or costly array.” (1 Timothy 2:9).
Our scriptures today are addressing the appearance of holy women. The word “gold” in the memory verse means jewellery, which is a collective word for earrings, rings, nose rings, chains, necklaces, and bracelets (i.e. items of ornamentation or bodily decoration). Holy women of old times did not adorn themselves with items of beauty and worldliness that were prevalent among the backsliders and ungodly society of their day. They clothed themselves with meekness, quiet spirit, and holiness, which in the sight of God is of great price. They were modest in outward appearance.
The Bible reveals the worldliness in adornment that characterized the Old Testament time, which has continued till today. The ungodly daughters of Zion borrowed these worldly adornments from the heathen nations around them. God had warned Israel not to learn the ways of the heathen (Isaiah 3: 16-20). To adorn yourself with these things makes you unholy before God. Today, there are many children of God, even ministers of God, who use earrings, nose jewels, chains, necklaces, rings, etc. These things hinder them from being truly holy in the sight of God. Humble yourself and remove them and do not risk your eternal soul by vain arguments. They were items of decoration and pride of sinful nations in the Bible time and in today's unbelieving world and the backslidden church.
It is unfortunate that some pastors permit or encourage their members to put on these ungodly adornments. Some know this truth but choose to ignore it. They shall go with their members to hell. There is no respect of persons with God.

Thought for the day:  Do not be conformed to the world. 

Song for the day: Holy is the LORD.

Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 21-22; Luke 22:1-30

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
