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.
** THE THREE THINGS TO DO DAILY SO AS TO GROW AND TO KEEP HIS CONFESSION.
· PRAY EVERYDAY. (1THESS 5:17)
· READ THE BIBLE DAILY (JOSHUA 1:8, 2TIM2:15)
· ATTEND A BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH.(HEB 10:37-39)
This is a balance diet for all Christians to eat daily so as to grow. When you pray you are talking to God. When you read the bible God is talking to you. Thus you live it out in the church where believers of different faith levels meet for iron to sharpen iron.
**QUITE TIME:
Mark 1:35. A time you will wake up anytime between12am-6am to pray, study the bible, pray on your meditations and other things.(you can give him a time). Get a specific time for this everyday. You can start using 15min or more. Record your quite time readings. This will aid your consistency and commitment. Follow this format: Date/ Bible Text/ Message.
** THE THREE THINGS NOT TO DO/AVOID DAILY.
BAD FRIENDS: They will make you sin against God. Make you take holiness for levity.
BAD MUSICS/PICTURES: They will pollute your mind against God’s word and distance you from thinking about God, Heaven and judgement (Amos 6:1and5).
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 in your church or you can tell one of the brethren to baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (matt28:19-20). You may decide to have a new name to mark your baptism and acceptance into God’s kingdom.
**STUDYING ASSIGNMENT: Read the books; Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Ezekiel, JOHN, 1&2 Peters, Romans, Hebrew, Jude and Revelation. Read the whole New Testament and the Old Testament as well, as of necessity and as the spirit of God directs you.
Search for three (3) things in your study.
(1) Who is Jesus Christ?
(2) What will me as a Christian should do or be doing?
(3) And what things I should not do as a Christian?
Emphasis is on the book of John because it tells you all to know about Christ Jesus and Christianity.
** NECESSITIES:
(a)Be steadfast not to fall as Hebrew 10:37 says.
(b)You can mail your address to me for some follow-up encouragements and advices; Name, Home Contact, telephone number(s) and e-mail addresses.

· 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.
** THE THREE THINGS TO DO DAILY SO AS TO GROW AND TO KEEP HIS CONFESSION.
· PRAY EVERYDAY. (1THESS 5:17)
· READ THE BIBLE DAILY (JOSHUA 1:8, 2TIM2:15)
· ATTEND A BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH.(HEB 10:37-39)
This is a balance diet for all Christians to eat daily so as to grow. When you pray you are talking to God. When you read the bible God is talking to you. Thus you live it out in the church where believers of different faith levels meet for iron to sharpen iron.
**QUITE TIME:
Mark 1:35. A time you will wake up anytime between12am-6am to pray, study the bible, pray on your meditations and other things.(you can give him a time). Get a specific time for this everyday. You can start using 15min or more. Record your quite time readings. This will aid your consistency and commitment. Follow this format: Date/ Bible Text/ Message.
** THE THREE THINGS NOT TO DO/AVOID DAILY.
BAD FRIENDS: They will make you sin against God. Make you take holiness for levity.
BAD MUSICS/PICTURES: They will pollute your mind against God’s word and distance you from thinking about God, Heaven and judgement (Amos 6:1and5).
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 in your church or you can tell one of the brethren to baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (matt28:19-20). You may decide to have a new name to mark your baptism and acceptance into God’s kingdom.
**STUDYING ASSIGNMENT: Read the books; Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Ezekiel, JOHN, 1&2 Peters, Romans, Hebrew, Jude and Revelation. Read the whole New Testament and the Old Testament as well, as of necessity and as the spirit of God directs you.
Search for three (3) things in your study.
(1) Who is Jesus Christ?
(2) What will me as a Christian should do or be doing?
(3) And what things I should not do as a Christian?
Emphasis is on the book of John because it tells you all to know about Christ Jesus and Christianity.
** NECESSITIES:
(a)Be steadfast not to fall as Hebrew 10:37 says.
(b)You can mail your address to me for some follow-up encouragements and advices; Name, Home Contact, telephone number(s) and e-mail addresses.
