HEAD COVERING AND GODLY DRESSING FOR HOLY WOMEN

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: HEAD COVERING AND GODLY DRESSING FOR HOLY WOMEN

TEXT  1 Timothy 2:8-10 

MONDAY MAY 29th 

KEY VERSE: Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel. 1 Peter 3:3.
From our text and key verse, we can learn the following about godly dressing.
i. Modest Apparel. The godly woman's dress must be modest and appropriate, portraying her Christian faith and holiness. She must avoid both extremes, wretched or flamboyant appearance.
ii. Sobriety. There must be self-control in the desire for clothing; no covetousness, wild desire, and worldliness. Be content with what you have. Avoid the insatiable desire for clothing and the love of clothes and shoes. If this happens, she will not be satisfied with it; she will waste divine resources and be liable for it before God. She must learn to give out the unwanted ones to the needy. 
iii. Shamefacedness. This natural quality makes a woman shy and protective over her sensitive body parts before men. This is the reason why even the mad women still take care of their sensitive body parts. Let women maintain this.
iv. Braided hair/ Plaiting of hair. An explanation is required for the true meaning 
The reason God gives commandments to us is to instruct us on His righteous ways, to promote righteousness, to prevent sin, and protect the righteous from satanic influence. Braiding or plaiting of hair in these passages does not refer to the simple clean and decent way women weave their hair or use simple thread to tie strands of their hair in order to keep their hair natural, neat, long, and feminine. It rather refers to the unnatural, ostentatious, and fashionable hairdo practiced by the ungodly, according to the dictate of their god and master, Satan, which thing is designed to satisfy the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. 

Thought for the day: Nothing should be too much to give up for Christ.    

Song for the day:  I am pressing on the upward way.

Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 26-27; John 11:18-46

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
