TOPIC: EXEMPLARY DRESSING OF HOLY MINISTERS

TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 4:11-13 
11. These things command and teach.
12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 

KEY VERSE: PHILIPPIANS 4:9: Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

That which you have been seeing! This is why this training is very important. You are a pastor, a coordinator or a chapter leader. There are things that people look at you for; apparently, outwardly, and they copy. And most of this has to do with how you look; your dressing and appearance. 

Do you look holy? Do you look glorious? Do you look presentable? Do you look as somebody they can be proud of? My pastor looks wonderful! In fact, sometimes people would like to snap you and post it out. “This is my pastor”; in pride and in praise. How do you look? Do you copy? Some of you know that you do not dress well. You look too casual when you dress. You look shabby and dirty. You are not presentable. 

How will you carry this lifestyle to your members as a leader? Some may not consider how you look inward; whether a pastor is holy or not. What do you give out to them? That's why this scripture is very important. Are you copying or emulating? Are you watching? 

Even in speech, you see some people speaking like W. F. Kumuyi. How many of us are learning from our International Director in the manner he presents himself? The way he walks and dresses. I mean, from up to down. How do you look as a minister, as a holy minister? 

Why are you expected to look like Jesus? To look like a minister that is worth his calling in dressing? There are things that words may not say, but pictures and appearance in dressing will convey all. How do you look that people will say, ‘this is indeed a minister’?

Some will say a bad-looking minister is a reproach. From your dressing, you will be addressed. When you dress, will you be addressed as a holy minister or will you be addressed as a poor, reproachable minister? 

Thought for the day: Be an example of holy and glorious dressing

Song for the day: Is your life a channel of blessing?

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 25-28

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
