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

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...
