WHAT’S YOUR DRESS SENSE IN THIS INFORMATION AGE? (Sis. M F. Oladapo)


WHAT’S YOUR DRESS SENSE IN THIS INFORMATION AGE?

Your outward look reflects what your inward being is. Your dressing determines how you are addressed. God is concerned about the dressing of His children (His representatives). When He created Adam and Eve, He clothed them with Heaven’s wears (His own glory), because He too covers Himself with glory, hence Adam and Eve had great power and authority over the animals until they sinned and lost God’s glory and He clothed them with animal’s hide, no wonder the animals rebelled against them. The dressing that exposes your nakedness can cause the opposite sex to lust after you and may result to raping you. when you dress as a daughter of Zion (with royal wears), without you telling people who you are, you will be regarded and treated as a princess.

Your dressing with worldly clothes will only influence the world, while you influence Heaven and earth when you put on Jesus. The bride of Jesus will wear on the last day the special dress described in Rev. 19: 5-8, white, clean and beautiful when dressed. In Heaven and in eternity, your dressing will speak for your righteousness. Christians were known in those days not by their verbal claims but by their dressing and modest adornment. It is the other way round today, some ministers/minister’s wives can be mistaken for street urchins and sisters of easy virtues.

Today, some Christian sisters paint their faces (make up) like Jezebel. However, though no place in the Bible says if you paint your face, you won’t make Heaven, painting of faces was mentioned in two places in the Bible and they showed terrible experiences. 2 Kings 9:30, Jezebel made up herself and decked her Jewelleries the day she was going to die. She was eaten up by dogs and left with carcasses. Jeremiah 4:30,31. God was speaking in anger to the daughters of Zion, you may decide to paint your facethe way you like but does it worth it? If God should because of this debar you from Heaven, then you are on your own. Know that nobody ever add sugar to honey. You should realise that as a child of God, you are honey, no need to add sugar (make up). Anytime you see any wood painted, the wood underneath is inferior, nobody paints an ebony wood. Some Christian sisters in the name of fashion wears wig, the one whose head it’s cut from the kind of anointing they do not know. We are advised and warned by our spiritual father, Daddy G. O. not to joke with our heads. He said some ministers will come for ordination with wigs on their heads, you wonder which is to be anointed, the head or the wig? Revelation 7:1-3,, four angels standing on the four corners of the earth holding the four winds of the earth and the sea, and another angel ascending from the east having the seal of the living God to stop the four angels in order to mark the servants of God that should not be hit or hurt. Note that what you wear matters, that is why soldiers wear uniforms so that they do not shoot theirs. Can God identify you as His? What is inside will show on the outside. A case where two oranges, ripe and unripe were presented to some people to choose one, they chose the ripe one, they were asked why did they choose the ripe one when they have not tasted it, they said the look from the outside show the ripe will be sweeter than the unripe.

Another case is that of a supposed Christian sister that was to obtain visa to attend a Christian organised convention abroad, the other participants were given visa while this particular sister was denied hers and asked the visa officer at the embassy why she was denied and he answered her that she was not one of them as she dressed differently. When you see a lady exposing her breast and thighs, she is saying to men out there that she is available. She doesn’t understand that God keeps valuable and precious things covered and protected. Gold is buried deep in the soil; covered and protected. Diamond, pearl are all buried deep; covered and protected.

In conclusion, it is important to be well dressed for every occasion, in Revelation 19:11-14, the Bridegroom’s dressing reflects His righteousness and the battle He is going into. Your dressing to dine with the King of Kings to evangelise, attend important interviews must be at your best, descent, clean and presentable in glorifying God. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour today. Live your life to glorify Him. Put on Jesus and it will be well to see you here in this world and in Heaven.

Maranatha!!!
