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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
