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

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...
