DECENT DRESSING


“Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand” - Philippians 4:5
Indecent dressing, which is dressing in a way that provokes sinful passion, is prevalent today. Decent dressing is dressing with godly purpose of covering your nakedness, shielding you from adverse climatic conditions and glorifying God. Therefore, mini-skirts, body hugs, armless dresses and clothes that expose the chest, back, or show inner-wears, sagging, as well as, all that are transparent are unchristian. It is common seeing boys wearing dresses meant for girls, and vice versa. Do not dress indecently or dishonourably. Rather, moderation and decency should be your guiding principle. Do not be of the world or allow anybody to dictate your dress code. You are expected to project acceptable dressing in your campuses and communities. This may earn you mockery or derogatory names from people of the world. But be determined to glorify God always. You are the light and salt of the world. You should dress modestly, neatly and decently and let others see Jesus in you.

A word sure is enough for the wise. Be not deceived, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man does, he shall reap. When you sow to the wind, you definitely reap the whirlwind.
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in you always and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Be watchful and prayerful and never allow satan to deceive that it doesn't matter how you, please it does if you are truly a follower and believer in Christ Jesus.

PS 119:37.  It's all about priorities set upon vanities. Unfortunately, so many Christians have no idea what heaven probably looked like, then they would have paid the highest price to attain it.. How many preachers today speak about heaven? How many are expecting Christ's return? 1Cor 15:19. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.. Remember It's not only about dressing, but that's the signpost to a hell of stench and moral decay.

There is a lot of hypocrisy even in the church on the subject of indecent dressing. Some congregation have overdone it and make their women adherents wear clothes that make them distasteful to the eyes. At the other extreme are church leaders who have over-relaxed the rules of dressing to accommodate teeming vibrant youth population and the rich powerful influential people in society. What then is indecent dressing? Any dressing you will not go in if Jesus Himself were to interview you constitutes indecency.
