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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

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...
