UNFADING BEAUTY

MEMORY VERSE: - 1 Peter 3:3-4 - “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”

First of all, this message in this text is not just for wife's but for all believers.... Now, we must understand that this verse isn’t saying that we should not take care of ourselves or look good and presentable. The God of all beauty has no problem with us looking good in our appearance.

So, Peter is telling us to not focus our attention on outward beauty but on right character. If one has outward beauty with stinking character, it amounts to nothing. We must have the inward beauty, which is the beauty of the heart, it is the beauty that is rooted in character, the beauty of good behavior, it is the beauty of a meek and quiet spirit.

Now! this doesn't mean one should be dumb and stupid but it's about dealing with life in a wise and smart way. Great character is priceless, it is a great and outstanding virtue and one must strive to have such virtue. The scripture says, “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” Proverbs 31:10. Although this verse talks about a wife, but it's a lesson for all to learn from, whether male or female, old or young.

Everyone needs to have a noble character. So, it tells us that the key to her beauty is in her noble character, which is worth much more than rubies. People easily noticed the outward beauty because that's what they see first but it takes knowing one in true knowledge and relationship to identify the inner beauty.

Our outward appearance is important. We should do everything we can to maintain or enhance it, but it is not the criteria for the beauty that God approves. It doesn't matter how attractive a person is on the outside; if they are bad character, they are not beautiful in God's sight. It’s terrible to be attractive on the outside, and be lacking the inward beauty that is noble and priceless, the unfading beauty.


PRAYER

O’ Lord am sorry for my wrong behavior that has not measure up to your expectation from me and I pray that you help me to put my character on check in Jesus’ name, Amen

MEMBERS OF GOD'S FAMILY 2

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational MEMBERS OF GOD'S FAMILY 2 MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Corinthians 3:6 - “He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” Like I said in the part one of this topic, Jesus did not come to bring another religion but to bring sons and daughters unto the Father.  Religion is nothing but an ideology, but relationship and family is the real thing. Wherefore, Christ has enabled us to be children of God by the Spirit not of laws (religion). The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life. Living in religion kills but being a man or woman of relationship gives life. What Satan is using to rob people of their right to experiencing God's full package for them is religion.  Religion is a mock, a counterfeit, and a deception. But that which God offers us is relationship by the power of the Spirit.  Christianity is not in religion but an

AVOID DIVERSIONS

AVOID DIVERSIONS MEMORY VERSE: - Jonah 1:3 - "But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the LORD. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the LORD by sailing to Tarshish” (NLT) One of the ways the devil is using to rub many people of their blessing is through diversions. The Lord gave a message to Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and announce his judgment against it because of their wickedness but Jonah chose not to go, instead he went another way and his own way the scripture says was the "Opposite Direction." Oftentimes, people choose to go the opposite direction against God's original agenda for them when things are not going as planned. When vision is being delayed and when they are hit with challenges and difficulties in the process of trying to achieve what they were given to do. In the opposite direction is confusion.... In the opposi

NOW IS YOUR MOMENT

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational   NOW IS YOUR MOMENT MEMORY VERSE: - John 11:21-24, "Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day"   A lot of people pray but do not believe they can have the answer to their request immediately. Their faith is always in the future. The mindset of future has kept them from embracing that which is theirs at the moment. Thus, they neglect the place of faith in the now of today’s experience. While Martha could only think of the future as the only time her brother could rise again from the dead, Jesus was seeing it happening in the moment. Beloved, it's time to wake up and begin to walk in the 'now' faith. What is now? It means at the present time or moment. it is right
