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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
