January 18, Devotional Daily...... CLOTHING THAT WILL PLEASE THE LORD

BASIC PRINCIPLES THAT I CAN USE IN SELECTING CLOTHING THAT WILL PLEASE THE LORD
MODESTY
I Timothy 2:9


Modest – not vain or boastful; unassuming; behaving, dressing, speaking, etc. in a way that is considered proper; decent; quiet and humble in appearance, style, etc.; not pretentious.

An uncovered knee tends to show parts of the thigh, or even undergarments, which is inappropriate.

Garments should be long enough and full enough to cover the contours of our body whether we are standing, sitting, stooping, or walking. Any slit should go no higher than an acceptable hem line.

Our clothing should not emphasize or draw attention to our physical bodies, but to the sweet Spirit of our Savior within us (I Peter 3:3-4).

God states in Scripture that He wants His people to be different from the world, and He brought judgment upon them when they refused to do so.
Leviticus 10:10, Ezekiel 22:26, Ezekiel 44:23.

One of the most obvious ways to differentiate ourselves from the world is in dress.

We don’t have to say a word. If we consistently maintain a lady-like appearance, people will notice that we are different. That difference, or separation, is not an end in and of itself: it gives us a platform from which we can share Christ with others.

Titus 2:3-5:Someone is watching you. Are you setting a good example?

NO WOMAN IS BORN USELESS

     Marriage is more than just to have children or to satisfy one's desire or lust, this is because anybody can just decide to have children without necessarily getting married. There are so many bastard children around and as a result of unplanned Union. Meanwhile,  it was God who instituted marriage for his own purpose.      God gave Eve to Adam not only because Adam needed help but ALSO because was lonely in the garden and God saw it wasn't good this way, so he gave Adam Eve to keep him company and to assist him to fulfill his mission in life.      Therefore,  Adam needed Eve to succeed in life, Adam was not complete being alone, remember; God first created Adam but when He now decided to make the woman He really took His time to create her and He loaded her with keys and treasures of heaven which will be useful for the man and for the world.      Adam was bored and lonely in the garden and satan was happy wi...

CAN I MARRY YOU?: Your spouse 'MUST HAVE'qualities before you say 'I do'

I'm very sure this is not what you're expecting to see. But it is high time We start saying the truth. So many marriage professional counsels will tell you what you should check for Like.......... 1. His pocket...  can he take care of me? 2. His job........... Hope he has a fulfilling job? 3. His personality..... 4. Hope he's handsome or she's beautiful? 5. What about her SHAPE? 6. good looking? And lots more that I can't remember right now. I will leave a verse of the Bible for you here..... Prayerfully read and digest it The LORD said to Samuel Do not consider his appearance or his height for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance but the LORD looks at the heart. 1Samuel 16:7 As individual, we tend to look and judge immediately by what we see but its never that way in the sight of God. God's way is the best.   allow God to do the picking for you, then you w...

KEEP YOUR VIRGINITY TILL MARRIAGE.

Image
"YOUR HEAT SHOULD BE PRESERVED ONLY FOR YOUR SPOUSE" Today's system has so much decayed that we hardly have young people whose "heat" are still intact. What heat do I mean? I don't mean a prefabricated heat. I mean such divine heat for sexual satisfaction between a married man and woman. Such heat is found in the bible in Ecclesiastes 4:11 (KJV) - "Again, if two (obviously married couple) lie together (obviously in bed having fun), then they have "HEAT": but how can one be warm alone?" That's the kind of heat I'm talking about. But today we have people (men and women), whose heat(s) have been completely drained before marriage via premarital sex. What heat will be left to enjoy when you get married? ... God has so much designed this heat to be at its peak when one is a virgin and so much enjoyed when married and that's why you have to keep your heat (virginity) till you get married. In 1 Kings 1:2 (K...

HOW TO BE SURE IF MY PARTNER IS GOD'S WILL FOR ME

Image
Before you finally decide--- please PRAY THROUGH all over again NOT Think through. 1. Be sure you know what marriage is: check  The purpose of marriage 2. Does the man have vision? 3. Does he know where he is going to? 4. Is he the perfect will of God for your life? You are a woman, and you still have the authority now that you are still single and you're not yet married to him but the moment you come from the altar, you've released your crown and have submitted the authority to him and he will automatically become your head and begins to rule over you. Dear Sist, You can still pray more, for it is not yet too late. Woman, don't release your crown to a foolish man. Whoever fails to know the Lord is nothing but a foolish man, therefore; guide your crown jealously. Be patient before releasing your authority and Let God guide you BUT be sure it is God, NOT YOUR BRAIN.  be sure it's GOD LEADING Prepare for marriage

HOW TO GET A GOOD HUSBAND/WIFE

IF YOU NEED A GOOD PARTNER, BE ONE YOURSELF. Getting a good person to marry is just a simple but determined thing to do. Be careful of the type of life you live now while single. If you think you can live recklessly now and plan to come back to God later, though God will accept you but mind you: You will reap what you have sown. You that have consumed different ladies in different dimensions and categories! You that is moving from one brother to the other! Time of ignorance will be overlooked! After reading this post ...... Make a change now before its too late. Start sowing seeds of godliness and prayer into your marital life. What you sow you shall reap, no doubt about it. Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR MARRIAGE

Image
PREPARING FOR MARRIAGE A man was travelling in an aircraft and he was wearing his wedding ring on the wrong finger and someone told him he was wearing his wedding ring on the wrong finger and he said " hey! Don’t worry, it's because I married the wrong woman" A marriage you don’t prepare for will confuse you. You don’t prepare in marriage, you prepare for marriage. You don’t learn how to shoot gun in the battle front, you learn it before the battle begins. The better time to prepare for marriage is when you are single. Celebrate your season as a single Being a single is not a disadvantage, Being a single is not a sin You are not under a curse because you are single. Being a single is the time you prepare for marriage. To be single is better than married and praying to be a single. So many people prepare for wedding and not marriage. Wedding is different from marriage. After the wedding, marriage begins. Wedding is an initiation into marriage. The elaborate...
