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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
