The elders have a say, "if
children of the same mother enter into a room to talk and come out smiling,
they have not told each other the truth."
Alright, so in the next three minutes, you might not be smiling as I am going to tell you the truth, because am your daddy. Strictly speaking I have searched the scripture, there is nowhere that I have found where it is written, if you wear make-up, you will go to hell or you will not make it to heaven, I can’t find it in the Bible. It is not to be found anywhere at all, but I have done my own research.
There are, however, two places in the whole Bible where references were made to painting of face; only two places, and the two places are bad. One of the places talked about Jezebel. How many of you will name your daughter Jezebel? As recorded in 2 Kings 9:30, the day Jezebel was going to die, she did make up properly, painted her face, decked her face with jewelries, but at the end of the day, dogs ate her!
The second place is in Jeremiah 4:29-30 where God was speaking
in anger to daughters of Zion, He says: "when
I make up my mind to deal with you, you can paint your face as you like, it is
not going to deliver you."
Read it in your Bible. Those are the only two places I found, and they are terrible references.
Now as far as I am concerned, it is up to you to decide how you want to look; if you want to make up, paint yourself, you are at liberty.If for any reason whatsoever God decides not to allow you to enter heaven, sorry o!!!
The point I am making is this, nobody ever adds sugar to honey. Have you seen anybody adding sugar to honey? Anytime you see a piece of furniture that is painted, wooden furniture that is painted, the wood is inferior. But when the wood is ebony, nobody paints it, no no no.
I think children of God should realise they are precious enough, by the special grace of God and by the shed blood of Jesus Christ. They are honey, and so do not need any sugar.
Some people go about in the name of fashion wearing wigs. I'm not being judgmental at all. This is not law; there is nowhere in the Bible which says if you wear wigs, you can't make it to heaven. But this hair that you are wearing, from whose head was it cut? Do you know who was the original owner of the hair? Do you know what kind of anointing is in that hair?
It is put in the most important part of your body, the head!!! "Thou anointed my head."
Things are so bad now that some ladies come for ordination with wigs on.
I always ask them, which one do you want me to anoint, the wig or the head? I told you, you will not smile by the time I finished. I have not been legalistic, I have not said thou shall not wear wig. I'm only talking to my daughters, my own children.
I read something in the book of Revelation 7:1-3. Some angels were sent from heaven to deal with the inhabitants of the world, after the rapture. The Bible says, "I heard the Almighty God said, before you begin to deal with people, let me mark them, let me seal them on their forehead, so that we know those that the bullet should not hit."
What we wear matters. Why do you think the army wear uniforms? It is so that they will not accidentally shoot their own members.
Can God recognize you at a glance, that is, as a child of God? Some people say it does not matter, and that what is inside is what is important. I agree with the last part, but what is inside will show outside. It will show on the outside, it will show, don’t let anybody deceive you.
When I became General Overseer, I brought a group of teachers to come and teach in the Bible College and they began to teach series of things I did not bargain for. They were teaching that God is not interested in the outside, He is interested in the inside, this man (the G. O.) is legalistic; he is too strict. So I went to Oyingbo Market to buy two oranges, one ripe and the other green all over.
My Bible students were beginning to turn to rebels and God gave me wisdom, so I stood before the class and said, which of these oranges will you take if I ask you to pick one? They all pointed at the yellow and ripe one, and I said why? They said because that one is going to be the sweeter. How do you know when you have not seen the inside? They all said what is inside the orange portrays and shows what is reflected outside. An orange is sweet from the appearance because its inside is sweet and vice versa to unripe oranges...
It was at this point that I passed the real message to the people and the Holy Spirit gave them a change of heart afterwards.
People of God, God cannot be mocked, you cannot begin to tell people that God only dwells in the heart of man, seeks the heart alone and not the facial appearance, It is A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL!!!
You cannot sit on the fence, it is either you are cold or hot...
Say no to the FASHION OF HELL ...
Why not be and remain the way God created you? Why are you adding to what God has created? In other words, you are telling God that, "God ooh, see you are senseless to have created me this way I am, I am going to recreate myself back with make ups." (God forbid).
May you not be an enemy of God. Amen.
"Let your dressing be in modest apparel, not of painting of face or using of gold, necklaces or earrings, but of pure heart, shamefacedness and modesty."
Have you considered Jezebel in the Bible? She was a perfect example of the usage of all these things, and she made all these things of demonic value.
May you not be among her descendants in Jesus’ mighty name. Let your watchword be ''WORLDLINESS FORBIDDEN." Instead of the world copying good things from us (believers), we the believers are the one copying bad things from the world! Very shameful and pathetic!
Remember, "friendliness
with the world equals to enmity with God.”
Beware of the end time vices and change your ways now!
Characters of A
Generation of Young Christians:
1. We are always right and we never accept correction. A
corrector is seen as an enemy.
2. We love to sing in Church, but do not read our Bible at home.
3. We are full of lust, sensuality and emotions and we call it
love.
4. We want to have wonderful marriages, but by the time we are
25 years we've already spent almost ten years in relationships. Sometimes, we
may have had more boy lovers and girl lovers than even our parents.
5. Sexual activities are now part of our relationships, calling
it romance.
6. We want to be rich in life, meanwhile, we spend all our
finances on the latest ipads, iphone, laptops, cameras, smartphones, etc, which
in many cases we use less than 30% of their functions.
7. We do not pay our tithes and offerings, claiming we are
students.
8. We say we are Christian men & women but dress like
Hollywood stars and we call it fashion.
9. We love pleasures rather than God.
10. In Church you will see us with our hands lifted up singing
slow songs which we call worship but on our phones in our pockets, you will see
pictures of naked and half naked women, hip hop, Antichrist, etc and we have a
nice way of justifying it.
11. We are hardly convicted when we go to Church because our hearts have been hardened by the deceitfulness of sin and pride.
God foresaw all these and warned us in 2 Timothy 3: That "In the last days men and women will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power."
We need to change our ways, we have no excuse on judgement day.
Shalom.
