The streets are not meat markets or grocery stores, women should not be showing men ‘what they are going to get’. Today’s woman behave as if accenting their body in a revealing way is a good thing- it is not. The truth is, many women are not presenting their true selves when they leave their homes. From the top of their head to the souls of their feet they present themselves as something a man shopping may want. Christian women should present themselves as a ‘living” sacrifice to the wolves of the world.
Romans 12:1-2 (KJV)
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
There are women who wear wigs or color their hair or add length to their hair; these women, in addition to the make-up wear false eyelashes. These women may have had surgery to enlarge their breast or buttocks and / or flatten their bellies; or they may wear padded bras or girdles, I hear corsets are making a comeback. Women dress to reveal a shape that will attract a man (but not God); breast flattering tops and skin tight pants and place themselves on pedestals, aka stilettos! If these women consider themselves Christians then they must know they are not pleasing God by conforming to the ways of the world.
1 John 2:15-17 (KJV)
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Romans instructs the Believer to present himself / herself a living sacrifice that is holy, acceptable to God not a man. John teaches that we, the Believer, are to not love the things in this world- you cannot love both the things in this world and God. When a woman dresses as if going outside is like being a piece of meat being displayed in the meat section of a store, hoping someone will notice her and take her home, she is not acting like a Child of God but a child of this world.
The world will reject modest dressing but God will be pleased. Other women will judge your choice of attire but God will be pleased. Lustful men will respect you but not flatter you, with their lying tongues; “The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. (Proverbs 21:6 KJV)” Women of faith are dressed by their Father in heaven which includes being clothed with righteousness.
Isaiah 61:10 (KJV)
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Dear Christian women: Father God covers you fully. When men see you that should not know if you have granny panties, thongs or without any undergarments, people should not know if you are a size 10. If you dress like a woman of God you will be treated like a woman of God by godly men, Satan’s children will see you as a challenge. Don’t take your garment of salvation off even if you are going to work! It is time to cover yourself with the robe of righteousness
