TOPIC: ARTICLES FOR BEAUTY CONDEMNED IN SCRIPTURES
TEXT: NUMBERS 31:49-51
SATURDAY NOVEMBER 11tH
Key verse: Zephaniah 1:8 “And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD’s sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel”
Christians are holy people worshipping the holy God. Those who have not attained this standard are regarded as unholy Christians. Which category do you belong to? Unholy Christians lack complete knowledge of the word of God and are full of arguments. The holy ones understand God’s demands and do all to comply with them. They are conscious of the coming of the Lord and moderate their lifestyle; not willing to offend God. In line with God’s warning against Christians exposing their nakedness through ungodly dressing and adornment which give rise to lust and immorality in society, they avoid dressing according to the custom or style of the world which is against the modesty required by the scripture.
The following articles for artificial beauty are condemned by the scripture: Jewels of gold, chains, bracelets, rings, including wedding rings, nose rings, earrings, and tablets. Fixing them is unclean regardless of their costs. Besides, who asked you to perforate your ears? Other evil practices include bleaching, fixing false nails, false hair, eyelashes, painting lips, eyebrows, nails, and face, adding wool to make your hair look big, keeping long nails, wearing perforated lace and see-through dresses, tight-fitting dresses or body hug and women wearing trousers.
Zephaniah 1:8 “And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD’s sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel”. Repent and change your garments from strange ones. If you say there are women's trousers, does it mean there are men’s head ties or brassier? Mothers should avoid putting ungodly attires on their children in the quest to make them beautiful. Don’t perforate their ears to fix earrings on them. Don’t bleach their skin or fix wool on their hair; they are abomination in the sight of God.
Thought for the day: Repent and change your strange garments to godly ones
Song for the day: Purify me, sanctify me, purify me, O Lord
Bible reading for the day: Lamentations 3-5; Hebrews 8
