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

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...
