EDUCATION THE BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES
The world is for God. .What else do you think that existed by itself?
The book of John chpter1 verses 1-5 established what the book of Genesis chapter 1 verses1-3 says.
Some people are blessed by God in terms of material provisions. But the have taken it as what belongs to them. They did not know that God freely give it to them and He can take it back anytime.
You may say that ‘but I went to the school to earn my prestigious certificate, thus it is my entitlement to posses those material things.’
You must also remember that some people had come to this solitary world and made fortunes, but as at now they are no where to be found. They are dead. They are awaiting there judgement from God. Meanwhile they were not buried with their wealth.
Or have you seen the place where a car is being buried with the owner?
Therefore, you should glorify God with your substances.
How will I glorify God with my substances?
The steps are;
· You must realize that you are sent to this world by God and one day you will give account to him of what you have use your life for when on earth.2corinthians 5vs10.
· You must then please God with your material possession. But without holiness no one can please the Lord. Therefore, you must accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal savior. Because through him alone is salvation and pass to the Kingdom of God . John 14 vs 6 Jesus said ‘I am the way the truth and life. No one can come to the father except by Me.’ John 3 vs 16 God reaffirms that ‘for God so love the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever beliveth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ’
· Tell Him right from the whole of your heath that you are sorry for all the wrong that you have done. Because Romans 3vs23 says ‘for all have sinned and fall short the glory of God.’ Of which I am one. Mention those things that you have done wrong for god cannot be mocked.
· Tell Him that you believe that He came to this world sent by God. John 3 vs 16. He died for you on the cross of Calvary buried and resurrected the 3rd day and He is coming to take the saints in His second coming. Of which I will be among.
· Tell him that He should give you the grace to live a holy and accepted life unto Him. And to right your name in the book of LIFE.
· Thank him for He had answered your prayers.
Congratulations friend(s) for you are now in the household of God .
You must make sure that you don’t that your resources as an idol. That is to say, to trust in your wealth instead of God
You give your tithe to the church of God you are attending and if not attending any, you should start attending a Bible believing Church close to your area NOW.
Your daily obligation is to pray to God through Jesus Christ (asking him what you want for the day only for tomorrow is another day to ask for when it comes) .(Matthew 6 .
Read your bible everyday (to know what God want you to do for that day) before you go out for the day’s work.
It is expedient that you have personal time to pray and read your bible so as to grow in the spirit. This is called Quite Time. Done early in the morning like 4am or 5am or 6am or any convenient time before the day break.(Mark 1:35).
You must go to the church always so as to grow up with other believers. As iron sharpens irons.
If you are a family man [you have a wife and child(s)], you must have a family prayer (altar). Wake them up in the morning and sing praises to God read the Bible together and pray together. Before everyone goes for his/her work(s).
Give cheerfully to the poor and in the household of God for God loves a cheerful giver.
Then you must be expectant of Jesus Christ Second coming which will be
Anytime from now.

TIME THE BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES
God made the instruction that all should go and be fruitful.
The way you live your life on earth is what God will use to judge you when you get to heaven.
Do you think you are on this earth for living sake? No my friend, no. This earth is a testing ground may be you will be qualified for the coming world. The new Jerusalem. There is always a two side ways, is either you qualify or you don’t qualified.
What choice you made have implications.
If you choose to make this present world and forfeit the coming world, The new heaven and the new earth Rev 21 vs 1.It means that you are ready to live the rest of your eternity in the place of torments that is the lake of fire made by God just for the devil and his angels. Also all humans that disobeys the commandments of God on earth. This is not a good choice.
The best choice is to desire to make heaven so as to escape for thy live in the fury of God to come on this present useless sinful world 2Peters 3 vs 6-10.
Then you have to know these three things
This is the issue of sin. Romans 3:23 Says , For all have sin and fall short of the glory of God.
Question…How many have sinned? Answer…All
Does that include you? Yes “all have sinned”
This is the issue of death. Romans 6:23 says, For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
THE GIFT OF LIFE
Every body after the days work will be expecting a reward. Be it salary, wage or a stipend. Thus the bible says the reward or sin at the end of the day is DEATH.
The third thing to know in other to be save is the issue of JUDEGEMT.
The bible says in the book of Hebrew 9:27 For it is appointed unto man to die once but after this judgement.
The judgement in this contest is condemnation.
At this juncture you have to take THE BIG DECISION this is found in the book of Revelation3:20
QUE: who is talking here? RE: Jesus Christ.
QUE: Where is HE standing at? RE: The door
QUE: What kind of door is He knocking now? RE: The door of my heart/life
QUE: If someone is knocking the door of your house what do you think he is expecting you in side to do?
RE: TO open the door.
QUE: Are you ready to open the door of your heart to Jesus Christ to come in? RE: YES
REMARKS: Thank you Jesus, praise God. The bible says there is much joy in heaven over a sinner that repent. Also if anyone be in Christ he is a new creature, behold, old things had pass away and all things has become new (2Cor 5:17)
It is TIME TO PRAY. (Close your eye)
(1) He should pray loud thanking God for saving him He is sorry for his sins and will not go into it again. God should give him the grace to live a holy life. He should write his name in the book of life and makes you rapturable when he comes back. Thank Him for He has answered your prayers. In Jesus name you have prayed. (Amen).
(2) Tell him to repeat this prayer after you; Lord Jesus, I thank you for coming into my life so that I might have eternal life. I know that I am a sinner, please forgive me, I promise not to go back into them again. Please give me the grace to live a holy life. I believe that you came to this world sent by God, You died for my sins on the cross of Calvary and you resurrected the third day and you are coming back to take the saints and me too. Please write my name in the book of life. Thank you for you have accepted me. In Jesus Christ name I pray Amen.

BAD DRESSING: They makes you to be antichrist and a seducer which is an instrument of the devil (Gal 5:19-20, Deut 22:5, Zephi 1:8).
****BAPTISM: You can arrange water baptism for him in your church or you yourself do it in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (matt28:19-20). You may decide to give him a new name to mark the baptism and acceptance into God’s kingdom

TIME THE BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES
Time is about life.
Everything takes place in a matter of time. Events unfold in a matter of time.
Kings are enthroned and dethrone in a matter of time.
The prophets of old in the word of God (the bible) all prophesy base on time.
Then you may want to ask that what is TIME?
Time is the period of expectations of an event to unfold its requested manifestations.
The requested manifestations may be as prophesy or not. But the period of the gap is called TIME.
The bible in the book of Ecclesiastics Chapter 3 verses 10 reads about time for everything.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to pass and a time to fail.
A time to build up and a time to destroy what is built.
A time to plant and a time to reap what had been planted.
A time for rain and a time for drought.
To everything there is a time and purposes.
The whole events in the bible all prophesy about the time where the whole world will be reconciled with God. After the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. These takes the period of about 2000 years for the messiah to come.
Thus the prophet Isaiah in the bible Isaiah Chapter 9 Verse 6 said : Unto us a child is born unto us a son is given ,the government shall be on His shoulder and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor Mighty God Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace.
This is the time of the manifestation of the reconciliation of the world back to God. By the sending of His son Jesus Christ to die for us on the Cross of Calvary.
On the course of His crucification, He said ``t is finished’’.
Therefore, it is pertinent for all to consider our ways because by His resurrection He had been made the judge of the whole world at His second coming to the world.
HOW to consider your ways is to realize that we will all live this planet Earth one day.
If today were to be the day, what will you tell God in judgement as to what you have done with your time on earth?
However, I will tell you three things that you must know to be able to give an account of yourself to God.
This is the issue of sin. Romans 3:23 Says , For all have sin and fall short of the glory of God.
Question…How many have sinned? Answer…All

A SUMMARRY OF THE BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ON DRESSING
A SUMMARY OF THE BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES ON DRESSINGS
· IDOLATROUS WAYS OF LIFE.
o THE EARRINGS AND THE JEWELRIES.
· Genesis 35: 1-5
God instructed Jacob to come and worship him and to be holy. He told his household to present themselves holy before God and to take away all the idols from themselves. Then they took away the idols including their earrings. That is to say, the earrings and the jewels are an object of an unholy body and Godlessness.
· Exodus 32:1-5
The Children of Israel became impatient for God’s savant to bring the laws of God. They made Aaron to make an idol from their earrings and jewels and they called it their God who brought them out of Egypt. They transferred the glory of God to an idol. They also fornicated in their celebration of this new god. God became furious against them and destroy many of the recalcitrant.
· Exodus 33: 1-5
They repented and became truly sorry for all their sins. God called them stiff necked people that he will not walk within them again. Then they remove their earrings and their ornaments henceforth and God return back to them after their act of Godliness which they have shown.
· HOSEA 2:13
The adulterous purpose of the earrings and the other ornaments are pointed out hear by God. The only and major purpose of the usage of the earrings is to enhance the natural beauty for seductive idolatry and adultery purposes. Thereby woman and man forget God’s instructions for worldliness and eternal condemnation in disguise for earthly enjoyment and popularity. This is vanity upon vanity because God has no pleasure in those things in that it had been given for the wicked forces of this world, the principalities and powers of this wicked world as a spoil and to polluted it.
· EZEKIEL 23:40
The wicked purpose of the ornaments usage is emphasized here in the scriptures, when a polluted being that makes him or herself so by the use of those ornaments (earrings, beads, chains, rings, pendants, lead pencils, paints, perfumes, hair attachments, wigs, weave-on, tattoos and the likes) he does that to seduce to sin of every such. The chief of the sin includes fornication or adultery.
Innocent people using these things are in the risk of hell fire unless they stop the use of it. It is meant to make people sin by the way of sedition and the gate way for all the foul and wicked spirits (stealing, lying, disobedience to the Holy Spirit, fighting and all other evil vices) to get into someone to do evil against God.
The way out is to do without those ornaments and you will experience peace of God in our heart. You can do it, do without it, you are not born with them, they belong to the world and they will perish with the world and those who are using it. You don’t have to perish over what you can avoid: do you? No you didn’t.
· Ezekiel 7: 19-22
God’s judgement of the idolatrous acts of the people of Israelis in Exodus 33:1-5, 32:1-5 was reveal or make public that the earrings and the Jewels which is meant for their beautifications but was used as their object of idolatry which is an abomination unto the Lord had been given to the wicked people of this world for a spoil and to pollute. Therefore it does not belong to us anymore for the Bible says that no abominable thing or any thing that worked pollution shall enter the kingdom of God.
· THE MAKE-UPS AND THE FIXINGS.
· 2Kings 9:30
The servant of the Lord Jehu who was destroying the idolatrous ways of the Israelis came to Jezreel for the same purpose but the daughter of the devil Jezebel painted her face and looked out to seduce him but she failed and died instead of that. Therefore anybody that paints his or her face is a follower of the devil Jezebel and has their punishments in the Lake of Fire forever.
· Revelation 17
This chapter shows the fatal end of the seducer, and all his followers and those that had been lead into fornication, adultery or and adulatory.
· Jeremiah 4:30
The Bible condemns the act of remaking of ourselves by the paintings of the eyes, face, finger and toe nails or the fixing up of hairs, attachments and nails to beautify ourselves. All to no avail will this be because those we are trying to appeals will seek our lives. The only person you are appealing to is the devil who through his agent gave you the ideal of such artificial and unGodly beauty and he will seek your life to kill and destroy even in the Lake of Fire.
· Leviticus 19:28
The making of marks on your body either for the dead, protection, recognition, or for fashion is an evil against God. The tattoos of any kind and the incision for whatever reasons are bad. It is a way of opening the door of our heart to the devil and his demons. It is also away of showing your readiness of accepting the mark of the beast 666 Rev 13:18 in lieu of its arrival. It is evil beware of devils deceptions. Hell is the end of it thereof.
· THE BAD DRESSING PATTERNS
§ Deuteronomy 22:5
The bible is very specific and gives no room for any doubt. This is a law with a direct consequence, which is an abomination. The dresses that do not belong to the male must not be worn by him or else he becomes an abomination to the Lord. Also a female must not wear that which belongs to a male (the trouser of what so ever design and male cloths) or she becomes an abomination to the Lord.
§ Zephaniah 1:8
The Lord sworn that he will punish all those that clothed themselves with strange apparels on the day of his sacrifice. That is to say on the judgement day.
§ 1Corinthians 11:4-5,14-16
Every woman or female must cover her head or hair when in the house of God, that is to say the Church. It is also expedient to do this always when you know that you will have to pray on your way to work or in at all times. Failure means the dishonoring of God and man. Then it is better for your hair to be shaved to the skin if you insist. But if this is shameful then don’t dishonor God with your head uncovered in His presence.
· 1Timothy 2:9-11
The bible here reemphasized the acceptable way of dressing and of the daily living of our Sister and Mothers in the Lord. The Christian Sisters should profess Godliness with good works.
How can this be? By adoring themselves with modest apparels, shamefacedness (not painting of the face, eyes, lips and bleaching of the skin) and sobriety (not fixing of extra nails and painting of finger and toe nails), not with braided hair (that is the attachments, weave on, coiling) gold, pearls (that is the earrings and the ornaments) or costly arrays but learning in silence and subjection.
§ Galatians 5:15-20
The Bible calls all theses bad way of dressing as sedition immorality and abomination and nothing that works an evil or abomination shall enter the kingdom of God Revelation 21:27.
1corinthians 6:15-20 made it clear that our body is the temple of the living God where God lives and was brought with a price. Anybody that defiles or pollute the temple of God, God will destroy such person in the Lake of Fire.
· GOD’S FOUNDATION STANDS FIRM.
o 1Timothy 2:19-21
The foundation of God stands firm. It can not be changed by any culture or language or a race or a person. It has this seal on it; the Lord knows those who are His and let those who name the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.
It is a two way traffic; it’s either you obey the Lord or you follow the world ruled by the devil. But for we Christians it is just a one way up for us; it is to follow wholeheartedly the commandments of God.
o 1John 2:5-20
This tells us that if we say we know God we must obey His commandments. He warns us not to love the world or the things that are of the world. The lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life belongs to the world and the world passes away and its lusts thereof but he who obeys the Lord will live forever.
o 1Peter 1:14
As a Child of God, or a Christian, we must not fashion our lives in the Lusts of the worldly things again because you are not ignorant of the eternal damnation that will follow.
o Act 17:30-31
The times of ignorance God had over looked and has now command everybody to repent from all their immoral acts because He will judge the world through the Righteous Judge and He had confirm Him by raising Him from the dead. Therefore repent of your evil deeds today and be saved.
o Revelation 21:27
The standard of God is the acceptance of Jesus Christ as ones Lord and personal savior, believing His death, resurrection and coming back (the rapture) and living a life of holiness because without it no man can see the Lord. Nothing that is defiled; makes a lie and or works an abomination shall enter the kingdom of God and those that their names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life shall enter the Kingdom of God.
· WHAT WE ARE; NOT BACKSLIDERS.
§ 2Cor 6:14-18
What? Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Lord? And the spirit of God dwells therein? You can not behave as those people of the world, you can’t dress as those people of the world dress, you can’t talk as the people of the world talk, you can not stand, seat, associate, walk and work where the people of the devil dwells. You are a new creature through Christ Jesus that transforms you.
§ Hebrew 10:35-39
Do not backslide for the Lord Jesus Christ has no pleasure in those that that goes back to the perdition and were destroyed. Stand firm in the faith. How? Faith comes by reading, meditating and hearing and hearing of the word of God. (Rom 10:17) So read it everyday, meditate on it and always love to hear it everyday.
§ Hebrew 12:1-16
Anybody that the Lord chastises on any occasion then the person is the one that God loves. You will be severely punished by God if you are expected to behave in a way and you did contrarily. You are expected to be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect every time and everyday (Matt 5:48). But if we sin we have and advocate with the father, The Lord Jesus Christ to plead to God our behave if we ask him to forgive us of our deeds.
§ Zephaniah 1:6
Those that go back to the devil or the world are the ones that do not seek the Lord in spirit and in truth. Therefore you must seek God daily by praying at all times, studying your bible at all times and must attend a bible believing Church.
· FINALLY, THE TRUTH IS THIS;
o Deuteronomy 29:29
Secret things belong to God, what He shows to us belong to us and to our children forever that we may do all the words of the Lord.
The Lord has reviled this secret of the entrance of His kingdom to us. We must be diligent to follow the standard of God and not the ordinance of men.
o Amos 3:7
God does nothing without telling His people the prophets who diligently seek the Lord. Therefore He has reviled what we should do so as to be accepted in His kingdom. That is the acceptance of Christ Jesus to our lives and the disciplining of oneself by the strict following of the ordinances of God.
o Isaiah 48:17
God so much loves you that He will never mislead you. All the dos and don’ts mentioned in the Bible are meant to lead us aright unto righteousness and heaven at last. Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.
We are to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness. (Matt 6:33).
o Revelation 18:11-20
All pearls, jewels, gold, silver and all other precious metals and all fabrics and the ornaments shall perish at the appointed time of God’s judgement on the earth. Then what manner of dealings do we have with all those earthly material things. Moreover, God’s word has declare them as abomination for we Christians to use them because no abominable thing shall enter the kingdom of God.
o Revelation 20:4-15
The judgement throne of our Lord Jesus Christ is set already, ready to judge this world of sin. All unrighteousness is a sin and will all be punished in the Lake of Fire forever and ever. Why will you be condemned by God when you have been given the life line to escape for your life through our Lord Jesus Christ the savior of the world. Repent now and you will be saved from the eternal condemnation of sinners and this world.
o Revelation 21:7-8,21
No abominable thing shall enter the kingdom of God.
He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my son.
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and surphur, which is the second death."
But nothing unclean shall enter it, nor any one who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
o Revelation 22:11-15
That which you are doing continue in it for in every works that a man does in it will he gets his rewards. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy."
"Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.
Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and every one who loves and practices falsehood.
This is the right time to give your entire life to Jesus Christ, tomorrow is too late. Take this step of faith now.
YOU NEED TO KNOW THREE THINGS SO AS TO BE SAVED FROM THE ETERNAL CONDEMNATION.
THE THREE THINGS.
(1)The first thing is the issue of SIN found in the book of Romans 3:23
QUE: from what you have read, how many people have sinned? RE: all
QUE: Does that include me? RE: yes
QUE: Does that include you? RE: yes (all have sinned)
(2) The second thing is the issue of DEATH (Romans 6:23)
REMARKS: Anybody working per month at the end of it is salary, per week is wages, and per day is stipend. The bible says anybody working for sin at the end of it is death. This is the second thing to know so as to inherit the kingdom of God.
(3)The third thing is the issue of JUDGEMENT. Hebrew 9:27
REMARKS: This means that after death is judgement which is condemnation by God. Considering the three things, one will discover that they are not good to the spirit. Or who want to sin, died in his sins and get condemned when he gets to heaven? Nobody. Then one will tends to look for a way out.
THE WAY OUT.
Looking at this three things one will see that they are not palatable to man. Who want to SIN, DIE and be CONDEMNED? Then one will look for THE WAY OUT. This is found in the book of John 5:24
QUE: Who do you think is talking here? RE: Jesus Christ
REMARKS: He said he that hear His word and believe in Him that sent Him has everlasting life
QUE: who sent Him? RE: God.
REMARKS: In believing you have to believe that he came to this world sent by God, died for you on the cross of Calvary, resurrected the third day and he is coming back to take you and all other saints. Once you believe this the bible says you have everlasting life and you shall not come into condemnation but you have passed from death to eternal life. That is in accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and personal savior, the issues of sin, death and judgement (condemnation) had been cancelled.
THE BIG DECISION.
At this juncture you have to take THE BIG DECISION this is found in the book of Revelation3:20
QUE: who is talking here? RE: Jesus Christ.
QUE: Where is HE standing at? RE: The door
QUE: What kind of door is He knocking now? RE: The door of my heart/life
QUE: If someone is knocking the door of your house what do you think he is expecting you in side to do?
RE: To open the door.
QUE: Are you ready to open the door of your heart to Jesus Christ to come in? RE: YES
REMARKS: Thank you Jesus, praise God. The bible says there is much joy in heaven over a sinner that repent. Also if anyone be in Christ he is a new creature, behold, old things had pass away and all things has become new (2Cor 5:17).(or any other suitable verses) .
TIME TO PRAY.
It is time to pray
(1) Pray loud thanking God for saving you. You are sorry for your sins and will not go into them again. God should give you the grace to live a holy life. He should write your name in the book of life and makes you rapturable when he comes back. Thank Him for He has answered your prayers. In Jesus name you have prayed. (Amen).
(2) Repeat this prayer after me; Lord Jesus, I thank you for coming into my life so that I might have eternal life. I know that I am a sinner, please forgive me, I promise not to go back into them again. Please give me the grace to live a holy life. I believe that you came to this world sent by God, You died for my sins on the cross of Calvary and you resurrected the third day and you are coming back to take the saints and me too. Please write my name in the book of life. Thank you for you has accepted me. In Jesus Christ name I pray Amen.

· IDOLATROUS WAYS OF LIFE.
o THE EARRINGS AND THE JEWELRIES.
· Genesis 35: 1-5
God instructed Jacob to come and worship him and to be holy. He told his household to present themselves holy before God and to take away all the idols from themselves. Then they took away the idols including their earrings. That is to say, the earrings and the jewels are an object of an unholy body and Godlessness.
· Exodus 32:1-5
The Children of Israel became impatient for God’s savant to bring the laws of God. They made Aaron to make an idol from their earrings and jewels and they called it their God who brought them out of Egypt. They transferred the glory of God to an idol. They also fornicated in their celebration of this new god. God became furious against them and destroy many of the recalcitrant.
· Exodus 33: 1-5
They repented and became truly sorry for all their sins. God called them stiff necked people that he will not walk within them again. Then they remove their earrings and their ornaments henceforth and God return back to them after their act of Godliness which they have shown.
· HOSEA 2:13
The adulterous purpose of the earrings and the other ornaments are pointed out hear by God. The only and major purpose of the usage of the earrings is to enhance the natural beauty for seductive idolatry and adultery purposes. Thereby woman and man forget God’s instructions for worldliness and eternal condemnation in disguise for earthly enjoyment and popularity. This is vanity upon vanity because God has no pleasure in those things in that it had been given for the wicked forces of this world, the principalities and powers of this wicked world as a spoil and to polluted it.
· EZEKIEL 23:40
The wicked purpose of the ornaments usage is emphasized here in the scriptures, when a polluted being that makes him or herself so by the use of those ornaments (earrings, beads, chains, rings, pendants, lead pencils, paints, perfumes, hair attachments, wigs, weave-on, tattoos and the likes) he does that to seduce to sin of every such. The chief of the sin includes fornication or adultery.
Innocent people using these things are in the risk of hell fire unless they stop the use of it. It is meant to make people sin by the way of sedition and the gate way for all the foul and wicked spirits (stealing, lying, disobedience to the Holy Spirit, fighting and all other evil vices) to get into someone to do evil against God.
The way out is to do without those ornaments and you will experience peace of God in our heart. You can do it, do without it, you are not born with them, they belong to the world and they will perish with the world and those who are using it. You don’t have to perish over what you can avoid: do you? No you didn’t.
· Ezekiel 7: 19-22
God’s judgement of the idolatrous acts of the people of Israelis in Exodus 33:1-5, 32:1-5 was reveal or make public that the earrings and the Jewels which is meant for their beautifications but was used as their object of idolatry which is an abomination unto the Lord had been given to the wicked people of this world for a spoil and to pollute. Therefore it does not belong to us anymore for the Bible says that no abominable thing or any thing that worked pollution shall enter the kingdom of God.
· THE MAKE-UPS AND THE FIXINGS.
· 2Kings 9:30
The servant of the Lord Jehu who was destroying the idolatrous ways of the Israelis came to Jezreel for the same purpose but the daughter of the devil Jezebel painted her face and looked out to seduce him but she failed and died instead of that. Therefore anybody that paints his or her face is a follower of the devil Jezebel and has their punishments in the Lake of Fire forever.
· Revelation 17
This chapter shows the fatal end of the seducer, and all his followers and those that had been lead into fornication, adultery or and adulatory.
· Jeremiah 4:30
The Bible condemns the act of remaking of ourselves by the paintings of the eyes, face, finger and toe nails or the fixing up of hairs, attachments and nails to beautify ourselves. All to no avail will this be because those we are trying to appeals will seek our lives. The only person you are appealing to is the devil who through his agent gave you the ideal of such artificial and unGodly beauty and he will seek your life to kill and destroy even in the Lake of Fire.
· Leviticus 19:28
The making of marks on your body either for the dead, protection, recognition, or for fashion is an evil against God. The tattoos of any kind and the incision for whatever reasons are bad. It is a way of opening the door of our heart to the devil and his demons. It is also away of showing your readiness of accepting the mark of the beast 666 Rev 13:18 in lieu of its arrival. It is evil beware of devils deceptions. Hell is the end of it thereof.
· THE BAD DRESSING PATTERNS
§ Deuteronomy 22:5
The bible is very specific and gives no room for any doubt. This is a law with a direct consequence, which is an abomination. The dresses that do not belong to the male must not be worn by him or else he becomes an abomination to the Lord. Also a female must not wear that which belongs to a male (the trouser of what so ever design and male cloths) or she becomes an abomination to the Lord.
§ Zephaniah 1:8
The Lord sworn that he will punish all those that clothed themselves with strange apparels on the day of his sacrifice. That is to say on the judgement day.
§ 1Corinthians 11:4-5,14-16
Every woman or female must cover her head or hair when in the house of God, that is to say the Church. It is also expedient to do this always when you know that you will have to pray on your way to work or in at all times. Failure means the dishonoring of God and man. Then it is better for your hair to be shaved to the skin if you insist. But if this is shameful then don’t dishonor God with your head uncovered in His presence.
· 1Timothy 2:9-11
The bible here reemphasized the acceptable way of dressing and of the daily living of our Sister and Mothers in the Lord. The Christian Sisters should profess Godliness with good works.
How can this be? By adoring themselves with modest apparels, shamefacedness (not painting of the face, eyes, lips and bleaching of the skin) and sobriety (not fixing of extra nails and painting of finger and toe nails), not with braided hair (that is the attachments, weave on, coiling) gold, pearls (that is the earrings and the ornaments) or costly arrays but learning in silence and subjection.
§ Galatians 5:15-20
The Bible calls all theses bad way of dressing as sedition immorality and abomination and nothing that works an evil or abomination shall enter the kingdom of God Revelation 21:27.
1corinthians 6:15-20 made it clear that our body is the temple of the living God where God lives and was brought with a price. Anybody that defiles or pollute the temple of God, God will destroy such person in the Lake of Fire.
· GOD’S FOUNDATION STANDS FIRM.
o 1Timothy 2:19-21
The foundation of God stands firm. It can not be changed by any culture or language or a race or a person. It has this seal on it; the Lord knows those who are His and let those who name the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.
It is a two way traffic; it’s either you obey the Lord or you follow the world ruled by the devil. But for we Christians it is just a one way up for us; it is to follow wholeheartedly the commandments of God.
o 1John 2:5-20
This tells us that if we say we know God we must obey His commandments. He warns us not to love the world or the things that are of the world. The lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life belongs to the world and the world passes away and its lusts thereof but he who obeys the Lord will live forever.
o 1Peter 1:14
As a Child of God, or a Christian, we must not fashion our lives in the Lusts of the worldly things again because you are not ignorant of the eternal damnation that will follow.
o Act 17:30-31
The times of ignorance God had over looked and has now command everybody to repent from all their immoral acts because He will judge the world through the Righteous Judge and He had confirm Him by raising Him from the dead. Therefore repent of your evil deeds today and be saved.
o Revelation 21:27
The standard of God is the acceptance of Jesus Christ as ones Lord and personal savior, believing His death, resurrection and coming back (the rapture) and living a life of holiness because without it no man can see the Lord. Nothing that is defiled; makes a lie and or works an abomination shall enter the kingdom of God and those that their names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life shall enter the Kingdom of God.
· WHAT WE ARE; NOT BACKSLIDERS.
§ 2Cor 6:14-18
What? Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Lord? And the spirit of God dwells therein? You can not behave as those people of the world, you can’t dress as those people of the world dress, you can’t talk as the people of the world talk, you can not stand, seat, associate, walk and work where the people of the devil dwells. You are a new creature through Christ Jesus that transforms you.
§ Hebrew 10:35-39
Do not backslide for the Lord Jesus Christ has no pleasure in those that that goes back to the perdition and were destroyed. Stand firm in the faith. How? Faith comes by reading, meditating and hearing and hearing of the word of God. (Rom 10:17) So read it everyday, meditate on it and always love to hear it everyday.
§ Hebrew 12:1-16
Anybody that the Lord chastises on any occasion then the person is the one that God loves. You will be severely punished by God if you are expected to behave in a way and you did contrarily. You are expected to be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect every time and everyday (Matt 5:48). But if we sin we have and advocate with the father, The Lord Jesus Christ to plead to God our behave if we ask him to forgive us of our deeds.
§ Zephaniah 1:6
Those that go back to the devil or the world are the ones that do not seek the Lord in spirit and in truth. Therefore you must seek God daily by praying at all times, studying your bible at all times and must attend a bible believing Church.
· FINALLY, THE TRUTH IS THIS;
o Deuteronomy 29:29
Secret things belong to God, what He shows to us belong to us and to our children forever that we may do all the words of the Lord.
The Lord has reviled this secret of the entrance of His kingdom to us. We must be diligent to follow the standard of God and not the ordinance of men.
o Amos 3:7
God does nothing without telling His people the prophets who diligently seek the Lord. Therefore He has reviled what we should do so as to be accepted in His kingdom. That is the acceptance of Christ Jesus to our lives and the disciplining of oneself by the strict following of the ordinances of God.
o Isaiah 48:17
God so much loves you that He will never mislead you. All the dos and don’ts mentioned in the Bible are meant to lead us aright unto righteousness and heaven at last. Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.
We are to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness. (Matt 6:33).
o Revelation 18:11-20
All pearls, jewels, gold, silver and all other precious metals and all fabrics and the ornaments shall perish at the appointed time of God’s judgement on the earth. Then what manner of dealings do we have with all those earthly material things. Moreover, God’s word has declare them as abomination for we Christians to use them because no abominable thing shall enter the kingdom of God.
o Revelation 20:4-15
The judgement throne of our Lord Jesus Christ is set already, ready to judge this world of sin. All unrighteousness is a sin and will all be punished in the Lake of Fire forever and ever. Why will you be condemned by God when you have been given the life line to escape for your life through our Lord Jesus Christ the savior of the world. Repent now and you will be saved from the eternal condemnation of sinners and this world.
o Revelation 21:7-8,21
No abominable thing shall enter the kingdom of God.
He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my son.
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and surphur, which is the second death."
But nothing unclean shall enter it, nor any one who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
o Revelation 22:11-15
That which you are doing continue in it for in every works that a man does in it will he gets his rewards. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy."
"Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.
Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and every one who loves and practices falsehood.
This is the right time to give your entire life to Jesus Christ, tomorrow is too late. Take this step of faith now.
YOU NEED TO KNOW THREE THINGS SO AS TO BE SAVED FROM THE ETERNAL CONDEMNATION.
THE THREE THINGS.
(1)The first thing is the issue of SIN found in the book of Romans 3:23
QUE: from what you have read, how many people have sinned? RE: all
QUE: Does that include me? RE: yes
QUE: Does that include you? RE: yes (all have sinned)
(2) The second thing is the issue of DEATH (Romans 6:23)
REMARKS: Anybody working per month at the end of it is salary, per week is wages, and per day is stipend. The bible says anybody working for sin at the end of it is death. This is the second thing to know so as to inherit the kingdom of God.
(3)The third thing is the issue of JUDGEMENT. Hebrew 9:27
REMARKS: This means that after death is judgement which is condemnation by God. Considering the three things, one will discover that they are not good to the spirit. Or who want to sin, died in his sins and get condemned when he gets to heaven? Nobody. Then one will tends to look for a way out.
THE WAY OUT.
Looking at this three things one will see that they are not palatable to man. Who want to SIN, DIE and be CONDEMNED? Then one will look for THE WAY OUT. This is found in the book of John 5:24
QUE: Who do you think is talking here? RE: Jesus Christ
REMARKS: He said he that hear His word and believe in Him that sent Him has everlasting life
QUE: who sent Him? RE: God.
REMARKS: In believing you have to believe that he came to this world sent by God, died for you on the cross of Calvary, resurrected the third day and he is coming back to take you and all other saints. Once you believe this the bible says you have everlasting life and you shall not come into condemnation but you have passed from death to eternal life. That is in accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and personal savior, the issues of sin, death and judgement (condemnation) had been cancelled.
THE BIG DECISION.
At this juncture you have to take THE BIG DECISION this is found in the book of Revelation3:20
QUE: who is talking here? RE: Jesus Christ.
QUE: Where is HE standing at? RE: The door
QUE: What kind of door is He knocking now? RE: The door of my heart/life
QUE: If someone is knocking the door of your house what do you think he is expecting you in side to do?
RE: To open the door.
QUE: Are you ready to open the door of your heart to Jesus Christ to come in? RE: YES
REMARKS: Thank you Jesus, praise God. The bible says there is much joy in heaven over a sinner that repent. Also if anyone be in Christ he is a new creature, behold, old things had pass away and all things has become new (2Cor 5:17).(or any other suitable verses) .
TIME TO PRAY.
It is time to pray
(1) Pray loud thanking God for saving you. You are sorry for your sins and will not go into them again. God should give you the grace to live a holy life. He should write your name in the book of life and makes you rapturable when he comes back. Thank Him for He has answered your prayers. In Jesus name you have prayed. (Amen).
(2) Repeat this prayer after me; Lord Jesus, I thank you for coming into my life so that I might have eternal life. I know that I am a sinner, please forgive me, I promise not to go back into them again. Please give me the grace to live a holy life. I believe that you came to this world sent by God, You died for my sins on the cross of Calvary and you resurrected the third day and you are coming back to take the saints and me too. Please write my name in the book of life. Thank you for you has accepted me. In Jesus Christ name I pray Amen.

MARRIAGE THE BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES
BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MARRIAGE.
The bible is clear that marriage is a holy institution between a man and a woman.
God, the maker of heaven and earth from the beginning made man and woman. He gave them the commandment to be fruitful and multiply. (Gen chpt 1vs 28) And God bless them and God said be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over everything that move on the surface of the earth.
Now a days, the marriage as ordained by God had been turn upside down. A man is marring another fellow man, a woman is marring her fellow woman. This is simply sacrilege committed against the holy order of the Most High God.
Nevertheless, this is not a new thing for the Lord had said it in the Holy Bible that due to the inordinate affection of man’s mind, the wish to do the wrong thing so as to make a new name (bad inventions) and his too distant from the word of God: the bible to read it daily, meditate on it and do what is written therein accordingly. Thus, this made there mind/ to be hardened against the word of God (Rom 1:18-32)
A man is not meant to be a terror against his wife, by wife battering, unfaithfulness to her and general ill treatments. The bible said : Both of them shall become one. (Gen 2:24-24) Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and both of them shall become one flesh. And were both naked both the man and his wife and were not ashamed.
This simply means that once you beat your wife or you are unfaithful to him in one way or the other, then you are killing your self gradually and unknowingly.
The purpose of God for your marriage is to bear Godly children. The children that will know about the word of God and obey it. This is the function of the parents to teach their wards about the word of God so as when they Grow up they will not turn away into worldliness. The book of proverb said train up a child in the way that he should go and after that he will not depart from it.
The young men and women that had not yet married and you are into girl friends boy friends, that is to say fornication. You are destroying your lives. Your lives are getting diminished progressively. The best thing to do is to come to JESUS CHRIST today so that you will not perish in the lake of fire at the end of the world.
DIVIOCE,
This is not a biblical principle. The bible says a man and his wife are one flesh, one body and one being.
God said in the book of Malachi 2:16 "For I hate divorce, says the LORD the God of Israel, and covering one's garment with violence, says the LORD of hosts. So take heed to yourselves and do not be faithless." God hates divorce. Any divorce can not make heaven.
Duet 24:1 "When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a bill of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house”.
Matt 5:31-32 "It was also said, 'whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'
But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastely makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery”.
Matt 19:8-9 He said to them, "For your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastely and marries another, commits adultery.
Luke 16:18 “Every one who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commit adultery”.
God so much hates divorce that he want all to be holy unto him and been faithful to our marriage partner.
Any country that legalizes divorce is an anti Christ nation or country. Any country that legalizes marriage of the same sex is an anti Christ country. Any country that legalizes abortion is an anti Christ country.
The bible encourages us to remain single if we can so that we will be totally focused and committed to the things of God with an undivided heart. Matt 19:10-12 “the disciples said to him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry."
But he said to them, "Not all men can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given.
For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He, who is able to receive this, let him receive it."
1cor 7:1, 9 “now concerning the matters about which you wrote. It is well for a man not to touch a woman. 9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion”.
"Any of the couple that leaves the other is simply called ADULTRY.1Corth 7:1-19.
A man that leaves his wife for any reason other than that she committed then the man also had committed the same offence against himself and against God.
This is also applicable to the wife if she leaves her husband for any reason other than he committed adultery can she leave him. The bible says “all other sins that a man committed is to the external body but the sin of fornication or adultery is a sin committed to once body.”
The bible also says that God hate divorce. Divorce is another way of incurring God’s wrath on the household, the court that issued the divorce letter and the country at large.
GOD AND MARRIGE.
Marriage is an institution established by God. God therefore regards marriage as a sacrosanct institution.
Any man or woman that is not ready for family life should not go into it. Marriage is not what one can just run into. Once one gets into it, the door of going out is closed. Just like the Ark of Noah which was shut by God Himself and therefore is allowed Noah to open the door to any body that was not prepared to escape.
To the teens and early twenties marriage or girl or boy friends (fornication) relationships is not recommended by God. He wants you to be fully or totally prepared for the challenges to face as a family man or woman. Therefore you must stay under your parents to learn there good ways of rising up a family.
The bible says in the book of Proverb that “children obey your parents in the Lord for this his right to do”
Some people are of the view that the keeping of boy or girl friends will help one to be able to gather experiences for the right choice of life partner to have.
NO WAY, the word of God says that be thou holy or perfect as your father in heaven is holy or perfect. (Matt 5:48) And for this reason Jesus Christ came to the world that he might destroy the works of the devil.(1 John3: 7-9).
All this so call test and error is both a deception of the devil to destroy youths lives before they grow up to know the purpose of God for themselves so that his kingdom will not be in trouble by this holy and Godly youths.
Therefore, it is a way to make you commit fornication and sin against God, destroying your lives.
Therefore watchfulness entails.
PARENTS RESPONSIBILITIES.
Parents are to ensure that there wards grow up to be God fearing. That is they must know about God and do accordingly what the bible says we should do to grow up as a living Christian.
These basic things are: PRAYING EVERYTIME 1Thess 5:17 that is not when you are in danger or troubles. READ THE BIBLE DAILY Joshua 1:8 , 2 Tim 2 :15, so as to know what God want and what he does not want us to do for that day or moment, and ATTEND A BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH 2Tim 4 . This makes you to grow among other sound believers in the true word of God.
All this can be done in the family alter. That is the family’s morning devotion. Personal devotions of the children and the parents must be done also in the morning separate from the family’s morning devotion. These are very important Godly parent duties.
If you fail in this very basic way then you have failed in all ramifications. Then you and your family will be doomed for hell fire for eternity and the parents or the father receiving the lion share of the condemnation.
All other responsibilities are secondary.
THE BOLD STEP.
This is the most crucial moment of the biblical perspective.
You can not live a holy life by your own powers or self determination. This Christian race to get to heaven can be run successfully when you right now accept Christ Jesus as your Lord and Personal savior. This does not matter if you have not married at present. Both the married and the unmarried are aiming the primus target which is heaven. Therefore you must take this bold step below now.
THE THREE THINGS.
(1) The first thing is the issue of SIN found in the book of Romans 3:23
QUE: from what you have read, how many people have sinned? RE: all

READ THE BIBLE DAILY Joshua 1:8 , 2 Tim 2 :15, so as to know what God want and what he does not want us to do for that day or moment, and ATTEND A BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH 2Tim 4 . This makes you to grow among other sound believers in the true word of God.
All this can be done in the family alter. That is the family’s morning devotion. Personal devotions of the children and the parents must be done also in the morning separate from the family’s morning devotion. These are very important Godly parent duties.
If you fail in this very basic way then you have failed in all ramifications. Then you and your family will be doomed for hell fire for eternity and the parents or the father receiving the lion share of the condemnation.
All other responsibilities are secondary.
THE BOLD STEP.
This is the most crucial moment of the biblical perspective.
You can not live a holy life by your own powers or self determination. This Christian race to get to heaven can be run successfully when you right now accept Christ Jesus as your Lord and Personal savior. This does not matter if you have not married at present. Both the married and the unmarried are aiming the primus target which is heaven. Therefore you must take this bold step below now.
THE THREE THINGS.
(1) The first thing is the issue of SIN found in the book of Romans 3:23
QUE: from what you have read, how many people have sinned? RE: all
QUE: Does that include me? RE: yes
QUE: Does that include you? RE: yes (all have sinned)
(2) The second thing is the issue of DEATH (Romans 6:23)
REMARKS: Anybody working per month at the end of it is salary, per week is wages, and per day is stipend. The bible says anybody working for sin at the end of it is death. This is the second thing to know so as to inherit the kingdom of God.
(3)The third thing is the issue of JUDGEMENT. Hebrew 9:27
REMARKS: This means that after death is judgement which is condemnation by God.
THE WAY OUT.
Looking at this three things one will see that they are not palatable to man. Who want to SIN, DIE and be CONDEMED? Then one will look for THE WAY OUT. This is found in the book of John 5:24
QUE: Who do you think is talking here? RE: Jesus Christ
REMARKS: He said he that hear His word and believe in Him that sent Him has everlasting life
QUE: who sent Him? RE: God.
REMARKS: In believing you have to believe that he came to this world sent by God, died for you on the cross of Calvary, resurrected the third day and he is coming back to take you and all other saints. Once you believe this the bible says you have everlasting life and you shall not come into condemnation but you have passed from death to eternal life. That is in accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and personal savior, the issues of sin, death and judgement (condemnation) had been cancelled.
THE BIG DECISION.
At this juncture you have to take THE BIG DECISION this is found in the book of Revelation3:20
QUE: who is talking here? RE: Jesus Christ.
QUE: Where is HE standing at? RE: The door
QUE: What kind of door is He knocking now? RE: The door of my heart/life
QUE: If someone is knocking the door of your house what do you think he is expecting you in side to do?
RE: To open the door.
QUE: Are you ready to open the door of your heart to Jesus Christ to come in? RE: YES
REMARKS: Thank you Jesus, praise God. The bible says there is much joy in heaven over a sinner that repent. Also if anyone be in Christ he is a new creature, behold, old things had pass away and all things has become new (2Cor 5:17).(or any other suitable verses) .
TIME TO PRAY.
It is time to pray
(1) Pray loud thanking God for saving you. You are sorry for your sins and will not go into them again. God should give you the grace to live a holy life. He should write your name in the book of life and makes you rapturable when he comes back. Thank Him for He has answered your prayers. In Jesus name you have prayed. (Amen).
(2) Repeat this prayer after me; Lord Jesus, I thank you for coming into my life so that I might have eternal life. I know that I am a sinner, please forgive me, I promise not to go back into them again. Please give me the grace to live a holy life. I believe that you came to this world sent by God, You died for my sins on the cross of Calvary and you resurrected the third day and you are coming back to take the saints and me too. Please write my name in the book of life. Thank you for you has accepted me. In Jesus Christ name I pray Amen.

**BAPTISM: You can arrange water baptism for him in your church or you yourself do it in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (matt28:19-20). You may decide to give him a new name to mark the baptism and acceptance into God’s kingdom
**STUDING ASSINGMENT: Read the books; Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Ezekiel, JOHN, 1&2 Peters, Romans, Hebrew, Jude and Revelation. Emphasize on the book of John because it tells you all to know about Christ Jesus and Christianity.
** NECESSITIES: (a) Tell him to be steadfast not to fall as Hebrew 10:37 says.
(b) Collect his address; Name, Home Contact, telephone number(s) and e-mail addresses.
(c) Congratulate and pray for him before you depart.
(d) Contact him during the week to encourage him in the faith. A week or less give him the
Ministry’s manual and form of membership so that he too can become a fisher of men
and not eaters of fish.
