TOPIC: THE ENEMY’S TRAP OF INDECENT DRESSING
SCRIPTURE: In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 1 Timothy 2:9
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You cannot dress indecently to expose sensitive parts of your body to the world, and claim to be a child of a decent God.
We live in a world where the devil is doing a lot of overtime to lure people into iniquity and trap their lives into eternal damnation in hellfire.
One of the weapons being employed by the enemy to achieve his destructive goal is indecent dressing. Satan makes people to market their flesh through indecent dressing. They expose sensitive parts of their bodies to lure people into sin and destruction.
Today, you see people walking on the road, going to marketplaces, offices, schools, and even churches in all kinds of indecent, seductive, and suggestive dressings.
You see them going to church, dressed in highly suggestive dressings as if they are going to disco parties. You may wonder if the pastor of the church is wasting his time in church, preaching holiness-enhancing and morally uplifting messages.
They dress in openly seductive manners as if to defy the pastor, “Preach whatever you want, I will appear the way I like”.
And as these people enter the church in all manner of suggestive clothes, unbelievers or people from other religions may be watching them. They don’t expect anyone to enter a place of worship dressed like that. They may be wondering, “Is it church they are going to? Why do they appear so seductive, with over-painted faces that almost make them look like masquerades?”
You see, this is why most unbelievers do not take the church seriously. They think that Christians are hypocrites and deceivers. At least, a normal human being knows what spirituality is all about or what a spiritual person should look like.
One of the worst things that can happen to a Christian is to unknowingly become a tool in the hands of satan the devil.
Another disturbing aspect of this degeneration is that even people who are supposed to be grandmothers are now wearing the same seductive dresses like young ladies. There seems to be no age difference anymore, especially as regards dress sense.
Beloved, if you are a real child of God, it must show in your appearance; it must show in the way you dress. You cannot dress indecently to expose sensitive parts of your body to the world, and claim to be a child of a decent God.
Remember this: You cannot dress indecently to expose sensitive parts of your body to the world, and claim to be a child of a decent God.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Don’t fall into the trap of indecent dressing.
- Let your dressing give glory to God, and lead others to Christ.
PRAYER: Lord, I refuse to fall into the trap of indecent dressing. Let my appearance give Glory to You, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
