21 Ways to Avoid Distraction during Prayer

21 Ways to Avoid Distraction during Prayer

Prayer is the communication between God and yourself. But, this process could be frustrated when there is a distraction.

I remembered the story of a father and his son, Jonnie. The father was making a crucial call with his boss, but Jonnie was hitting the table and making a childish noise.

His father got distracted, and hit Jonnie on the head as he continued the phone conversation. There was silence in the room, but when the Father was through with the phone call, he looked back and saw the fainted poor boy.

…Jonnie came back to life, but the father spent a lot of money in the hospital…

Distraction can be annoying, but you have to use the right ways to avoid it. Today’s message will focus more on the solutions to adopt for a prayer that is free of distraction.

  1. Satisfy your Hunger

If you don’t have the ability to hold your hunger, then it is not a sin to satisfy the hunger. A troublesome stomach is a distraction that must be put under control for your prayers to go smoothly to the Lord.

  1. Silence your Phone/computer

If you want to enjoy your communication with the LORD, then you have to disconnect communication with man. It is a game of distraction if you are expecting an important phone call or email while praying to God.

  1. Rent a Private Apartment

The private apartment of Jesus for prayers was the mountain top. Mark chapter 6 verses 45 to 46: “Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away. And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.”

Don’t use a noisy venue for prayers to avoid distraction. Locate a quiet place!

  1. Choose the Right Time

A good fellowship with the Lord requires a specific time. So, your right time for prayers is your free time.

For example, the free time for Jesus was in the night, because no distraction from the people could disturb his communication with the LORD.

No thumb rule for the number of hours. If your strength can’t pray for more than 30 minutes, then don’t force yourself for another minute else distraction could set-in.

  1. Know your Audience Factor

For instance, you might get distracted by someone speaking in tongues (without interpretation) beside you during church prayers. Then your audience factor for prayers at that time is zero.

However, if you find it impossible to pray alone, then your audience factor at such moment is greater than one. For example, Jesus experienced both audience factors as recorded in the book of Mark chapter 14 verses 33 to 35:

“And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch…”

  1. Control your state of mind

Proverbs chapter 4 verse 23 says: “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.”

  1. Singing

If you are praying and you got ‘stuck’, then start singing to the Lord. The act of singing eliminates distraction, and it is also a medium for prayers.

  1. Quote Scriptures

Before praying, read the Bible and jot down some helpful verses. When distraction attempts to show up in your prayers, pick your jotter and read the quotes you wrote. Then more prayer points would flow into your brain.

  1. Settle Dispute

You can’t suffer anger and enjoy your prayers- impossible! Thus, take away malice, anger or hostility from your heart. Unholy fear, anger and sadness are strong weapons of distraction.

  1. Discard Prayer Books

Reading prayers that was written by another man cannot make you enjoy a genuine communication with the Lord. I called this a third party prayer of distraction.

Don’t spend your money on prayer books or CD, it is not scriptural. Pastors and Bishops selling such books are only after your money. Open your mouth and pray directly to the Lord and not through prayer books. Jesus says: “Ask and it shall be given.”

  1. Speaking in tongues

Many pastors tell their congregation to always speak in tongues when they are short of words during prayers. Please, don’t fall into such trap.

When speaking in tongues is not originated by the Lord, it causes more harm and distraction. …who knows if the ‘formed’ speaking in tongues are curses from the demons…?

  1. Change Prayer Position

There is no scriptural rule on the right posture for prayers. So, you can kneel down for a while, stand up, sit down or lie down at intervals. For instance, I stand up to pray at night when sleepy distraction sets in.

  1. Fasting

If you have the strength to ‘arrest hunger’, then fasting is a tool that takes care of distractions related to food; how to prepare it or when to eat.

  1. Automatic Conversion

Make a good use of the automation attached to your senses. Convert all thoughts to prayer points. That settles the problem of thoughtful distractions during prayers.

Don’t analyze the thoughts else you get distracted. Once it drops into your heart, then convert it to a good prayer point.

  1. Close your eyes

It is not compulsory, but it works very well for me. I don’t see the lizard chasing after the grasshopper- an interesting distraction!

  1. Comfortable Environment

Prepare a comfortable environment for yourself. For instance, if you are not adaptable to heat and you go to the mountain in the afternoon to pray, then the harsh heat would distract your prayers.

  1. Light your Focus Candle

If you are not focused, then you will sleep off during prayers. You can avoid such distraction by setting your heart towards the goals you intend to achieve by speaking to the Lord.

  1. Open your inner Ear

Prayer is all about communication to the LORD. Thus, you are the encoder and God is the decoder. You will be distracted by your prayers if you don’t listen to the feedback from the LORD.

  1. Pray with Emotion

Feel free to express yourself before the Lord. The Lord is your Creator, He understands you very well. So, don’t be distracted by the way you intend to present your case before the Lord.

  1. Pray in Spirit and Truth

You won’t get distracted by any physical distraction if your spirit clings to the Spirit of God. Jesus says: “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (not speaking in false tongues o!)

  1. Rebuke the Voice of the Devil

It is the work of the devil to distract Christians during prayers by saying “Are you sure God will hear you” whenever you hear such voice of distraction in your heart, rebuke it with the mighty name of Jesus and make your faith firm in the Lord.

Valentine’s Day: Is the Celebration for Christians?

Posted by Feb 7, 2018 Holy Word, Church, Youths Leave a Comment
Valentine’s Day: Is the Celebration for Christians?

Valentine’s Day is the celebration of romance. 14th of February is always a spectacular day in the year, when boys and girls, married and unmarried share love in various forms. Valentine’s Day is characterized with red color, exchange of gifts, parties and much of promiscuity among youths.

More harm is done than good in the lives of youths on Valentine’s Day of this generation. Why? And, is Valentine’s day celebration an instruction from the Lord? Who originated Valentine’s day and for what purpose?

Today’s message will expose the truth about this romantic celebration.

The History of Valentine’s Day

A genuine Christian must not join the train of any popular event without scrutinizing the source and motive of such celebration. I searched through some reputable sites and discovered the history of Valentine’s day;

Wikipedia noted that some Christian Martyrs were named Valentine. The Valentines honored on February 14 were Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. Valentine of Rome was a priest in Rome who was martyred in 269 A.D, and was added to the calendar of saints by Pope Galesius in 496 A.D.

Valentine of Terni was a Bishop, and he was martyred during the persecution under Emperor Aurelian in 273 A.D.

Valentine’s day was first associated with romantic love through Frey Chaucer in the 14th century, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

Noel Lenski, a historian at the University of Colorado at Boulder said that the Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia from February 13 to 15. The drunken men sacrifice a goat and a dog, and the young women will line up for the men to hit them with the hides of the animal. They believe this will make them fertile.

The practice also involved match-making lottery, in which young men drew the name of women from the jar. The couples will then be coupled up for the duration of the festival.

Pope Gelasius muddled things in the 5th century by combining Saint Valentine’s Day with Lupercalia to expel the pagan rituals. He named February 14 in honor of Saint Valentine as the Patron Saint of Lovers.

But, the festival was more of theatrical interpretation of what it had once been. Lensky added, “It was a little more of drunken revel, but the Christian put cloth on it. That didn’t stop it from been a day of fertility and love.”

What is bad about Valentine’s day?

There is a terrible mix-up during the celebration of Valentine’s day. Some innocent people share cards to their loved ones from a pure heart of love. While some take the advantage of the celebration to lose their virginity, participate in erotic parties and drugs. Uncleanliness, romance and illicit s3x are the order of the day.

Is it right for Christians to get involved in a celebration that is not under the doctrine of the LORD? Jesus says: “If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority”.

The bad things about Valentine’s day celebration are:

1. It is an attempt to Christianize an idolatry celebration. But the Pope’s attempt failed and the output was a mess to the Christendom.

“…we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting…” (Ephesians 4:14)

2. Valentine’s day was originally a solemn day for remembering the works of the martyr, not a day for celebration of love. Thus, the present celebration of Valentine’s day is a deceit.

3. The celebration was not a commandment from the Lord; rather it was a doctrine of man. “Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” (Matthew 16:12)

4. There are high records of immoralities and sexual perversion on this day.

5. Good works of Agape love are uncommon, and the celebration does not glorify the name of the Lord.

6.  Satanists and unbelievers celebrate Valentine. So, we cannot be of equal yoke with unbelievers.

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” (2Corinthians 6:14)

 

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2)

Valentine’s Day is not a celebration for the Christians, because it has no scriptural basis. It is widely acceptable by the world, because the outputs on such day are ungodly.

How to Get Perfect Deliverance!!

Posted by Jan 31, 2018 Holy Word, Word of Faith 3 Comments
How to Get Perfect Deliverance!!

Perfect Deliverance is the permanent victory from all forms of physical, spiritual and emotional bondage. The issue of temporary deliverance made many people to think that the Name of Jesus is not enough. And, they seek for perfect deliverance from demonic powers.

Today’s message will show the helpful steps to take for a perfect deliverance.

Many years ago before I gave my ‘total’ life to Jesus, I suffered terrible forms of spiritual bondage. I was always afraid going to bed at night, because of the terrible nightmares. I woke up with a weak body due to the torments in my sleep.

I suffered depression, because my soul was always troubled with evil strange voices. My dreams were always unclean, filled with wining and dining, participation in meetings and so on…

The strange thing is that every action in my dream had a significant and terrible effect in my life every day.

I did all I thought could help me; attended church services, Pastors and Prophets prayed for me. I obeyed a lot of church doctrines and practices, but my deliverance was not perfect!

I gave God the glory today, because I enjoyed a perfect deliverance when I did things differently…

Why You need a Perfect Deliverance

Don’t join the group of people who met Christ for the first time and asked Him for financial or health deliverance. When they got the physical deliverance, they became comfortable and never bothered about the spiritual deliverance.

For example, the Israelis cried out to the Lord for physical deliverance in the land of Egypt. They got the physical deliverance, but it was never a perfect deliverance, because, they were not bothered about their spiritual deliverance.

So, they suffered bondage again after a short enjoyment of independence.

“For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden…”

“Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them…”

“lest the LORD’S anger be aroused against you, and He shut up the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce, and you perish quickly from the good land which the LORD is giving you.” (Deuteronomy chapter 11)

You need a perfect deliverance so that your body, soul and spirit would be controlled by the Lord. Partial deliverance gives the demons the access to some aspect of your life.

5 Powerful Steps for Perfect Deliverance

1. Get yourself Prepared

You cannot get perfect deliverance from the most famous Pastors or Prophets in the world. You must be ready to fight the good fight of perfect deliverance through your personal faith in Jesus Christ.

Complete deliverance is not for the lazy, hot today… cold tomorrow…but, it is for those with strong heart of determination. The journey is rough, but the end is glorious.

“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)

2. File for Divorce

“What you love is the element of your bondage”. It is true that demons are responsible to every form of bondage, but no demon can have authority into your life without loopholes. So, you must identify the loopholes that serve as the entrance for the demons into your life.

For example; Food matters put Jacob’s descendant into 400 years of bondage, love for wealth put Gehazi into trouble, love for knowledge put Adam and Eve into terrible mess…

At this stage, you must be sincere to yourself. You must write a long list of the sources you opened for the oppressor. Jesus Christ will not help you to file for the divorce; you have to do it yourself.

For instance, no one helped Jesus to carry the sins of man on the cross for deliverance (“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?”). So, don’t fold your arms and expect Jesus Christ to take the practical steps of repentance for your perfect deliverance.

Some people who want perfect deliverance thought the process is like a miracle, which would involve no effort from them. That’s not true! Jesus does not abuse His Power, therefore, the only way for you to be successful in this second stage is to use the power of choice given to you by the Lord.

The process involves; Identifying all your carelessness, uncleanliness and ungodliness. This step may take days or weeks, but you have to divorce all the demons.

3. Genuine Confession

Confess your sins to the Lord in your private room. You are free to weep and cry loud to the Lord for forgiveness (James 4:7-9). The blood of Jesus will clean your sins. And, it is important you promise the Lord that you won’t misuse your power of choice anymore.

You must be determined not to go back to that lifestyle which gave the demons the access to your life.

“Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” (John 5:14)

4. Marry Jesus

This step implies obedience to the Word of God; the Bible should be your best Book. If you are consistent in the total obedience to the Word of God, then your new lifestyle would chase the demons away. They would be forced to leave your life by the authority of Jesus Christ.

The more you follow the complete instructions of the Lord in the Bible, the more the demons will run away from you, and the more your perfect deliverance.

When you chase away the evil forces through a godly lifestyle, then Jesus and the LORD would come to dwell in your heart.

“Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (John 14:23)

5. Guide your Heart

At this stage, your perfect deliverance is established, but you must not sit back to relax.

Jesus says: “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.

And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.” (Luke 11:24-26)

Guide your heart everyday with the love of God, and not with the things of this world.

Perfect deliverance is achievable if you sincerely expose the secret of sins in your life. Thus, the confession of sins and the consistent obedience to the will of God are the greatest weapons that defeat all forms of bondage. I practiced all these steps above without paying a penny to any Prophet and I got my perfect deliverance.

Family Altar: 6 Benefits of Family Devotion

Family Altar: 6 Benefits of Family Devotion

Family altar is the assembly of the people who have a ‘common blood’ and a ‘common heart’ in the presence of the LORD. It is not about the construction of a tall table, or positioning a big stone at the corner of the bedroom.

I love this quote by Oswald Chambers: “You must be willing to be placed on the altar and go through the fire, willing to experience what the altar represent-burning, purification, and separation for only one purpose-the elimination of every desire and affection not grounded in or directed towards God. But you do not eliminate it, God does.”

Today’s message is not famous on the search engine, but I am happy to highlight the benefits of sustaining a family altar in your home.

How the Structure of Family Altar looks like?

The family altar for the New Testament has nothing to do with the designs mentioned in the Old Testament. The attendants at the family altar are strictly the family members (father, mother, children, and relatives). And the synchronization of the hearts of your family in the presence of the Lord forms the family altar.

Matthew chapter 5 verses 8 say: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

In the Old Testament, the LORD descends on the altar to communion with His children. But in the New Testament, the LORD dwells in our heart to fellowship with us. So, don’t joke with your sense of thought (the heart)!

Jesus says: “…If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (John 14 verse 23)

How to Conduct the Family Altar

a. It must not be boring to the youngest child in the family.

b. Everyone must take part in an orderly form.

c. Consensus for the time and frequency for each day is essential.

d. Actions such as worship, singing praises, instrumentation, Bible studies/recitation and prayers are good features of family altar.

e. It is not the gathering for arguments, disorderliness or autocratic conducts.

6 Benefits of Family Altar

1. It chases evil spirits from your home

The spirit of confusion, deceit and sin cannot find it easy to dwell in your home if you maintain your family altar.

Jesus says: “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order.

Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.” (Luke chapter 11 verse 24 to 26)

2. Family devotion increases Spiritual Strength

The spirit man of every member of your family would acquire divine strength through reading and meditating on the word of God. The prayer at the family altar is also a spiritual exercise that’ll keep the spirit of your family strong and healthy.

3. Family altar is a great avenue to Hear God

My heart always leaps for joy when I receive directions and solutions from the LORD. If your family devotion is consistent, then your family won’t miss the right step to take for their successful livelihood. “A 40 days journey won’t turn to 40 years journey.”

4. Family Devotion Sustains Unity

There is no home on earth without ups and downs, but it takes the supernatural Power of God to unite the family during the ‘downtime’. For instance, the rate of divorce is at the increase, because our generation had failed to take the family altar seriously.

5. Family Altar Promotes Love

The heart of human is flexible. For instance, the love of someone to his spouse after 10 years ago might go cold overnight. And the love of children to their parents might go sour due to some issues or vice versa.

But, the family altar has the power to avoid such hatred. I boldly tell you today that if you are consistent with the family devotion, your love to your spouse and children will wax stronger every day. And the ship of your family can never be wrecked by the storm of hatred or bitterness.

6. Good Training for the Children

It is important to take the spiritual life of your children seriously, because the level of immorality in our society is increasing daily. And a good environment for training your children is at the family altar.

Proverbs chapter 22 verse 6 says: “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Bible Verses on Family Altar

The following Bible verses give a clear picture that God loves to receive close attention through altar (holy family gatherings) positioned in your home.

1. “Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.” (Genesis 13:18)

2. “Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God…”

And Jacob said to his household… “put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.”” (Genesis 35:1-2)

3. “So, he built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.” (Genesis 26:25)

4. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” (Romans 12:1)

5. “Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” (Matthew 5:23-24)

If you want to achieve a regular family devotion then put up a calendar reminder. Tell your smart home device to remind you or write an inscription like this on your board: “No one must go to bed without attending the family altar“.

You and your family can hear, see and know more about God through the family altar. It goes a long way to unite the family. Regular family devotion defeats spiritual warfare, and uplifts the success of your family. Fix a time today for your family altar and you won’t regret sacrificing your time and energy.

Christian Dress: Does God Care about the Dress You Put on?

Posted by Dec 18, 2017 Holy Word, Church, Gospel Evangelism, Youths Leave a Comment
Christian Dress: Does God Care about the Dress You Put on?

Christian dress does not have a specific design or style, but it has some specific features. These features differentiate the Christian dress from the worldly dress.

It might interest you to know that the value of the global textile mills market totaled 668 billion dollars in 2015. The textile mills market includes yarns and fabrics. It is predicted to reach 843 billion dollars in value in 2020.

Also, the value of the global apparel market totaled 843 billion dollars in 2016. The apparel market covers all clothing except leather, footwear and knitted items. It is forecast to reach 1 trillion dollars in value in 2021. A huge market indeed!

What are the roles of Christians in this economic value for dress? Today’s message would explain the attributes of Christian dress and the implications of the present fashion in the church.

The Origin of Dressing

The first record of wears was recorded when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. So, disobedience to the instruction of the Lord led to the alteration of the human brain. It killed the sense of freedom and replaced it with the sense of nakedness.

Adam was the first fashion designer, but he got it wrong because the fig leaves could not cover the nakedness properly. Genesis chapter 3 verses 7 say: “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.”

God did not like to see our nakedness exposed in any form… thus He helped Adam and Eve with a better material that could cover their nakedness properly. Genesis chapter 3 verses 21 say: “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.”

What is the Design for Christian Dress?

Christian dressing in our generation is a controversial topic that a lot of Christians do not like to hear. Why? Our leaders refused to scold us when we accepted the fashion of the world.

The fashions of the world had engrossed the church so much, and we dislike anyone who preaches against our love for the worldly fashions.

We call such preacher an “old school cross…” We refuse to attend the few churches that criticize worldly fashion in the Christendom. Unfortunately, many Pastors do not want to lose their unstable members to this controversial topic, so they kept quiet. “Sitting on a keg of gun powder…”

The features for Christian dress include:

1. Modest; covering all the sensual parts of the body.

2. Decent; not with flashy colors or attractive ornaments.

3. Appropriate; the under-wear for the inner room is not for evening dinner across the street.

4. Less Expensive; to avoid waste of money on vanity.

5. Design; the female dress must be different from the male dress.

First Timothy chapter 2 verse 9 say: “in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing.”

Can Christian Woman Put on Trouser?

Trouser for women became popular in the 19th century. I felt bad when I discovered that the Devil is corrupting the people through fashion. Dressing differs from one culture to another, and the early generations knew that the dress of a male can never be the same for a female, because of the difference in our body shape and responsibilities.

But, the Devil who is doing all his best to corrupt the human race enticed people with the fashion of unisex. When God noticed this abomination in the midst of the Gentiles, He warned the Israelis not to imbibe such fashion.

Deuteronomy chapter 22 verse 5: “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your God.”

The thought of a woman to wear trouser was inappropriate in the America culture until the 18th century. Mrs. Bloomers and her friends thought of it, and it was widely accepted in the 19th century. It marks the beginning of moral destruction in the US. Other Continents grabbed the fashion as well, and the world is going wild.

Many women of this generation had lost their respect due to their provocative style of dressing. If you are a God-fearing woman who wants to follow the will of the Lord, test trouser with the five features above and tell me if it is a pass or not.

Christian Dress and the Church

False Pastors in the church told their congregation that God does not look at outward appearance, so the Christian dress can be the same as the worldly dress. Any verse in the Bible they quote to support this abomination is simply misconception.

Paul did not tell the women to be moderate in abominable wears or makeups. The context of ‘moderation’ in 1Timothy 2:9 was moderate Christian dress and behavior.

Pant that shows the ‘front V-shape’ and ‘back hills’ of the women is no more inappropriate in the church. Miniskirts and other seductive wears are regarded as normal Christian dress in many churches. Hey! The church had fallen in love to worldliness.

Please take this caption serious: “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world–the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life–is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” 1John 2: 15-17

I am not judging anyone, but I am telling you the scriptural truth. This generation had failed the Lord. We need to go back to the Bible, and restore the First Love. Let’s stop embracing all the offers of the world – it is shameful!

The Spirit of the Lord warned us to be different from the world, but our action says: “No, we want the fashion of the world”.

The Lord told us not to conform to the custom of the world, but the church leaders say: “No, let’s bring in the worldly people with their corrupt custom; they will change in the church.”

Unfortunately, the lukewarm converts did not change, but they thought the other church members how to embrace the corrupt custom of the world.

So, do not flow with the custom of the world that gets rotten every day.

God is not a respecter of man. Our population cannot intimate God! Remember the story of Noah. This is a clarion call for us to stand firm in God’s Will and to reject ungodly dressing.

Listen! Very soon, the fashion of trouser and miniskirts will fade away, and the use of bikini and underwear pants will be the next fashionable clothes in the public. Devil is not at rest, he will invent more fashions that will deep the world into a terrible mess.

Don’t be deceived by those Pastors and Prophets who are after your money and your presence in their church. God is concerned with the cloth we put on;

These are some proves:

1. The Lord made a better cloth for Adam and Eve. Genesis 3:21

2. He taught the Priest how to dress. Leviticus 16:4

3. The Lord took the subject of cloth (holiness) very serious. Leviticus 14

4. Jesus discouraged expensive wears. Matthew 6:19

5. Holy Spirit speaks through Paul and Peter when the early Christians faced the storm of corrupt fashion.

6. Our body is the temple of the Lord, so He is concerned with the dress we put on. 1Corinthians 3:16

You would give an account of how your body, soul and spirit were used on earth. So, always fix your trinity into the trinity of the Lord.

I implore you to take a firm stand in Christ and don’t be tossed away by the fashion of this corrupt world. Christian dress does not expose cleavages and other sensual part of the body.

Christian dress neither seduces nor induces the beholder with lustful desire. Godly dressing does not tighten the body to show the feminine shape.

Note: You might be the only one in your household obeying the will of God related to Christian dress. Don’t be discouraged, because many are called into the Christendom, but few would be chosen at the end – Matthew 22:14.
