MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 8 December 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Dress Modestly
TOPIC: Dress Modestly (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 8 December 2018)
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 3:1-5
MEMORY VERSE: “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
The MESSAGE:
Paul’s letter to Timothy was written in part, to address believers on how to dress. There are decent ways believers should dress especially young people. If there is no clear distinction on how you dress when you were in the world and now that you are in Christ, what has Jesus saved you from? How should believers in Christ dress, especially our women? The Bible says you must dress decently. A thing becomes decent when it is modest. It is immodest to wear for example, cleavage revealing tops, extremely tight clothes that reveal your body contours or details, short skirts or gowns that reveal what needs to be covered when you sit down. The major aim of dressing is to cover our nakedness (Genesis 3:21), but today’s mode of dressing is doing quite the opposite –revealing our nakedness! Are you all dressed up to glorify God, to glorify self or men? All dresses worn must glorify God. 1 Corinthians 10:32 says, “Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor the Gentiles nor to the church of God”. Also 1 Corinthians 6:20 reads; “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God’s”.
It is immodest to wear clothes that are so transparent that they show your underwear and their colours. Do not be an object that elicits lust from men, causing them to stumble and be bad examples to others. God is interested in how you dress and therefore your appearance. This is why He made coats of skin as a covering for Adam and Eve as opposed to the fig leaves they used earlier to cover themselves.
An immodest way of dressing is a dressing that conforms to the practice and culture of this world, which does not glorify God. Men are also not left out in indecent mode of dressing: wearing crazy, torn jeans, sagging your trousers or wearing carrot trousers and skirts without fully buttoning up, thereby revealing the whole of the chest area, especially when one is hairy, is not fitting for a child of God. These also elicit lustful desire from women, causing them to stumble. Dress to please God and not men or self.
