COVER THAT NAKEDNESS PLEASE! – Friday June 7th 2019
Memorise: Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward. Lamentations 1:8
Read: 2nd Samuel 11:2-4 (KJV)
2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
Bible in one year: Leviticus 27, Jeremiah 50:17-34, Hymnal: Sing hymn 3
Message:-
Nakedness refers to the absence of clothing, and it also refers to the wearing of only underwear.
OPEN HEAVEN [7 JUNE 2019] COVER THAT NAKEDNESS PLEASE!
It simply means being inadequately or inappropriately dressed. To be naked is to be bare, lightly dressed or to wear skimpy, revealing or insufficient clothing. These days, people are obsessed with showing off their wealth through fashion. As heroes and mentors to many, the rich and famous tend to influence a lot of people to follow their footsteps. Unfortunately, this platform is being used to promote nudity in fashion. If you look at the world today, a greater percentage of fashion styles reflect nakedness, particularly in western countries. If the lady’s cleavage is not exposed, the dress is viewed as old-fashioned. If the skirt is not short, such that the lady can’t sit down comfortably without having to cross her legs or continually draw down her skirt to cover her laps, it is not fashionable. If the man’s trousers are not super tight, it is not fashionable. It is however sad that instead of the world to look to the church for healthy and sensible fashion inspiration, the church is copying the world, which is why indecent and provocative dressing is commonplace in the church of God today. You will go to some churches and wonder whether you are in a brothel. Christ has called us to walk in love, so if you know that you dress seductively and this could cause someone to stumble in lust, you better have a rethink. What is your motive when you say you want to dress to kill? If you want to make heaven, you must judge your motives and actions by the word of God and make necessary adjustments.

Open Heaven 7 June 2019 Friday Prayer Point
As a matter of fact, an ambassador, positively projects the cultural heritage of his or her country always. The culture of the kingdom we belong to is holiness, righteousness and the fear of God, and we must project it in this world of sin and godlessness. Furthermore, we have the responsibility of making our body suitable for the Holy Spirit to dwell in (1st Corinthians 3:16). As the temple of God, defiling your body through nudity has consequences (1st Corinthians 3:17). Henceforth, dress as a worthy ambassador of God’s kingdom.
Prayer point
Father, please expel nudity and destroy immorality in Your Church, in Jesus’ Name.
