« I want women to show their beauty by dressing in appropriate clothes that are modest and respectable. Their beauty will be shown by what they do, not by their hair styles or the gold jewelry, pearls, or expensive clothes they wear »
1 In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over
2 by observing your pure and reverent lives.
3 Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.
4 You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
5 This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted the authority of their husbands.
There is a popular saying:
‘ Dress the way you want to be addressed’.
- This means that how you look is an indicator of who you are.
In the olden days, a mad person could be recognised by his rough and unkempt look.
However, these days, it is called a style.
This is deception.
Simply put, it is what is inside that is coming out on the outside.
What kind of people do you see wearing torn clothes around today ?
Some people even cut their jeans by themselves and call them crazy jeans.
Do you now see clearly where their inspiration is from ?
Why have you made mad people your new role models ?
That in itself is worrisome.
As a parent, why would you allow your children wear things that portray them as people of the world, rather than of God ?
It is clear that some parents do not regard God highly;
they would rather offend Him than discipline their children.
I saw a girl dressed indecently one day; I asked her if her parents had been out when she left the house. She said they were at home and, in fact, it was her mother who had bought the dress for her. I said, ” How can you walk through the streets like this? Don’t you know that your dress says that you are available and cheap?” . Surprisingly, she thanked me and said she had always suspected that her parents didn’t really care about her.
Parents, teach your children to dress in a way that will glorify God.
Some husbands allow their wives to dress like harlots.
I find this very hard to understand.
You cannot enter a private property without an invitation because doing so would amount to trespassing.
A wife is not for sale; she is already off the shelf, yet there are wives whose dressing proclaims them as cheap and available.
- Why would a woman dress in such a way that what belongs to her husband is exposed for the whole world to see ?
Some women will say they want to look ‘sexy’.
Are you public property ?
The only fellow you should look ‘sexy’ for is your husband – no one else.
The problem is that some husbands are so ignorant that they think their wife dressing half naked in public is stylish.
May God deliver this generation from destructive mentalities, in Jesus’ name.
Application – If you are a child of the King of Kings, you should dress as such.
