Caution Against Physical Beauty-Mindedness  

Sunday 2nd March

Text: 2 Corinthians 7:1 
Key verse: Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that fear the LORD, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:30
Women should not set their minds on achieving external beauty through worldly plaiting of hair, wearing of gold (jewelry), and putting on of apparel. Let women seek the beauty of the inner man of the heart, which is not corruptible. This beauty is manifested in a holy woman through meekness and a quiet spirit. This is the beauty which is of a great price in the sight of God.  This was how the holy women of old adorned themselves, being subject to their husbands. Women who do well in righteousness and holiness are the daughters of Sarah.  Christian women are being led away from physical beauty-mindedness to inward beauty-mindedness. The items which promote physical beauty are warned against, which include jewelry, represented by the word "Gold" in 1 Peter 3:1-6, and 1 Timothy 2:9. 
Beauty is vain. Physical beauty-mindedness in a Christian woman will breed pride, lust, immorality and insubordination to her husband. Physical beauty mindedness in a woman will hinder modesty, moderation and sobriety. Heart purity and holiness will be impossible where the mind is filled with the desire and pleasure of physical beauty. Nevertheless, the Christian woman must be clean, neat and decent; her adornment should manifest godliness and holiness and glorify God among men. 
The glory of God, of course, is the joy and contentment of a true husband. The woman does not live for herself nor for her husband but for God. She shall give account of her life to God. Hence, the woman does not adorn herself mainly to please her husband, but God.  In this regard, no woman should submit herself to pressure from an ungodly husband, to use jewelry or dress in a way that is unbecoming to righteous and holy women on the narrow way to heaven. What shall it profit any woman, if she gains her husband but loses her soul in hell? Christian women must be convinced of godly adornment and stick to it to the end.
Thought For The Day: Glorify God in your adornment. 
Song For The Day: I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back.
Bible Reading For The Day: Deuteronomy 28-29

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...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
