WORLDLINESS TO BE AVOIDED IN CHRISTIAN DRESSING

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

TOPIC: WORLDLINESS TO BE AVOIDED IN CHRISTIAN DRESSING 

TEXT: 1 PETER 3:2-5  

MONDAY NOVEMBER 27TH

Key verse: 1 Timothy 2: 9 "In like manner also that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;”
The word "gold" in the reading text and key verse above means jewelry, which is a collective word for earrings, rings, nose rings, chains, necklaces, bracelets: and items of ornamentation or bodily decoration. Holy women of old times did not adorn themselves with items of beauty and worldliness which were prevalent among the backsliders and ungodly society of their day. They clothed themselves with meekness, quiet spirit, and holiness, which is in the sight of God of great price. They were modest in outward appearance. To adorn yourself with ungodly things makes you unholy before God. Today there are children of God, even men and women of God, who use earrings, nose jewels, chains, necklaces, and rings. These things hinder them from being truly holy in the sight of God. Humble yourself and remove them and do not risk your eternal soul by vain arguments. 
Cleanse yourself from all forms of worldliness and worldly adornment, such as palming or jerry curling of the hair, use of hair attachment, mini-skirts, split-skirts, armpit-exposing blouses; keeping long nails, painting of face, lips, and nails; wearing of wigs; and whatever Satan introduces into the world to defile the holiness of God's children. God has given to us the full revelation of His word and will. We should not consider the case of any Old Testament character as an excuse to obeying the full word of God. Never take shelter under the teaching or outward appearance of any man or woman of God which does not conform to the standard of God's word. They shall not stand for you, but for themselves before God in that day. Men should neither put on women's clothing nor do their hair like women. If a man adopts the hairdo of women, he is an abomination unto the Lord. The believer's haircut must not be according to the fashion of the world. The woman also must not have a haircut like a man. The Bible says it is a shame to the woman to be shorn. 

Thought for the day: Cleanse yourself from all forms of worldly adornment.

Song for the day: Take the whole world and give me Jesus

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 38-39; 1 Peter 4

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...

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...
