APPEARANCE AND MODESTY OF A HOLY CHRISTIAN

God's blessings shall follow you, for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: APPEARANCE AND MODESTY OF A HOLY CHRISTIAN 

TEXT: ISAIAH 3: 16-24

SATURDAY JULY 15TH

Key verse: Jeremiah 4:30, And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do?  Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Question: Sir, please I have three questions; Is it sinful to use powder for babies, children and even adults for rashes? Is weaving or plaiting with thread a sin? Is it right for a woman to be cutting her hair?
Answer: To use powder for your children to arrest heat or rashes is not wrong. To use medicated powder while at home is not wrong but don’t paint or decorate your face with powder which is part of the appearance of a harlot. The aim of this painting is to arrive at a smooth, beautiful and attractive appearance. That is wicked and evil. You may say my own is not like that, I sweat a lot. Are you the only person God made in this world that sweats? We also sweat but we don’t use powder? Those who do so desire to achieve something else; artificial beauty. Avoid this as a Christian.
Concerning the second question, there is nothing wrong with modest weaving or plaiting with simple thread as long as you are not worldly in your design. Thread has been in use for many years before the use of attachment began. There is nothing wrong with plaiting or weaving neatly with simple thread but not in the fashion of this present world.
Finally, about the cutting of the hair, it is not a feminine habit in our African community for a woman to cut her hair. However, in case something is wrong; there may be injury on your head or maybe you permed it and you want to remove it for natural hair growth, you may cut your hair but cover it in public so that you can appear feminine in society. In this way, your glory is maintained as a woman in the society. Cover it up with a scarf. 

Thought for the day: Holiness is the beauty of the believers

Song for the day: Lord I want to be like Jesus inner my heart

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 17-18; Acts 19:1-20

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 ...
