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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
