“MAINTAIN GODLY DECORUM IN SPEECH AND DRESSING!”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Let no harmful language come from your mouth, only good words that are helpful in meeting the need, words that will benefit those who hear them. Don’t cause grief to God’s Ruach HaKodesh, for he has stamped you as his property until the day of final redemption.” (Ephesians 4:29-30)
Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace and God’s favor to those who hear it.
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, do not offend or vex or sadden Him, by Whom you were sealed, marked, branded as God’s own, secured for the day of redemption of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin.
MAINTAIN GODLY DECORUM IN SPEECH AND DRESSING
SPEECH:
The way we speak goes a long way to show who we are.
We must always remember that we are:
- The heirs of the kingdom
- Joint heirs with Christ Jesus
- The righteous of God
- The chosen generation and a royal priesthood
- Ambassadors of Christ
- Children of God Almighty
- The saints of God
- The redeemed of Christ
- Members of the household of God
- Believers must be able to control their tongues.
- We must not be talebearers or false witnesses.
- Our speech must be with grace, seasoned with salt.
- The well of our tongue must be springs of life to people around us. (Proverbs 17:27 / Colossians 4:6)
DRESSING:
- A godly person should be decent and moderate in his / her dressing.
- Your attire should not conform to worldly standards that tend towards flamboyance and arrogance.
- We must wear dresses to cover our nakedness which is the main reason for dressing.
- We must not dress to expose our nakedness neither to seduce nor to cause others to fall into the sin of lust.
- Neat, smart and comfortable wears are ideal for a Christian man and woman.
BE CHRIST-LIKE IN JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME, AMEN!
Shout, “PRAISE THE LORD,” somebody!
Shalom and good morning.
