HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE (HOREMOW)

Daily Devotional by Pastor Paul Rika International Director

DATE: SUNDAY 13TH MARCH

TOPIC: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR YOUR CLARIFICATION

TEXT: Matthew 24: 3, 4

Key verse: 1 Peter 3: 15; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:


QUESTION 1: Should a Christian barb any type of hairstyle such as ‘J5’ or ‘Punk?’

That is worldliness. You shall know them by their fruits. Some draw things on their heads for a show and barb their hair for fashion. Some pastors and bishops also imitate these styles. Some brethren wear nickers to conform to these worldly styles.
They cannot enter heaven. It is defilement in their garments of righteousness. Be responsible even in your barbing. You can see the world is gradually returning to bushy hair styles and growing of bears. A Christian should avoid that. Long hair is the glory of women but a shame to men.
Love not the world. The woman in slit, perforated skirts with jewellery and painted lips and nails in their adornment, perming, hair attachment and weavon argue that their beauty is dependent on jewellery; that is why they use them. All these are artificiality.
God completed His work on man and assessed it as very good. Doing otherwise is challenging the intelligence of God. God is asking if you can add to the natural beauty of the world. You better repent now.
Can these artificial flowers take over the beauty of the natural flowers? Women who keep themselves clean should stand to it. Unclean pastors encourage ungodly dressings and adornment. They will answer for their folly.


Question 2: Can a Christian use perfume?

Every living creature is created with a saint or fragrance. It applies to fruits, meat, soup, human beings, etc. This unnatural saint or fragrance you are adding to yourself is iniquity.
God builds scents into fruits and animals to show their respective peculiarity. If your body odour is unnatural, it is rather sickness. You need medical counsel or prayer from Pastors. But perfumes can be used on properties or things like offices, hospital, toilets etc.
Mary's anointing of Jesus was prophetic of His death. Use of powder as an item of beauty and attraction is sinful. The Christian woman should avoid that. The glory of the Lord is what you should look for. To use powder at home for medication or heat is not an offence.

Question 3: Should sisters use tights as underwear?


Tights are not made for men but for women as inner wear. It should not be exposed. When the woman exposes it publicly, it means something else. Godly women do not do that. Okay?
