Sept 2nd, the 16th Edition 

THE VOICE OF GOD (V.O.G)

TOPIC: DRESS SMART, ELEGANT AND DECENT BUT NOT NAKED. 

TEXT:  PROVERB 7:10

And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and crafty in heart.

Note the word, "an attire of a harlot" 

Doctors have the way they dress, the nurses and all the professions in the world. Why? 

Your dressing speaks alot about your personality, intent and what you do. 

Your dressing has a voice, a sign and could lead to an action. 

Everyone dresses according to the pictures of his or her mind. 

If one is seductive, it must reflect on the dressing; the same when you are decent. 

Have you ever seen a mad person in the open market who looks so cute? No! Why?

Because you dress accordingly to your mind.

Know this, If you have not dressed your heart, you can't dress your body.

And once you have dressed your heart, your body puts on decency. 

Our text contains two objects of focus, the attire of a harlot and the crafty heart.

That means in our text, her attire was given birth to by her crafty heart and her crafty heart means

the intentions of her heart.

The intentions of your heart gives birth to your character, your countenance, your decisions(actions, inactions and reactions) then, your physical dressing follows .

In our text, the woman was not addressed as a harlot but her dressing. 

Her dressing passed a wrong signal to everyone around... A dressing of a harlot. 

Many still do same today and they call it smartness. 

That means, someone may not be an evil person but may pass a wrong signal in one way or the other. 

There is also an appearance of an evil. 1 Thessolonians 5 vs 22.

There is a sin and there is a weight  Hebrews 12 vs 1 to 2.

For every evil starts with an appearance or form and every sin starts with a weight ( desire, lust and thought) 

How do you dress? 

Decent or otherwise? 

Dressing is such a powerful tool in the world that it depicts professionalism, status, mindset and character of someone. 

Pastor, I like to wear what makes me smart and elegant!

Are you saying I should not wear what fits me? No! But.. 

You can dress smart, you can wear what fits you, yet covered. 

Never mistake smartness for nakedness. 

In our text, God told us that there is an attire of a prostitute and there is an intention behind it.

Psalm 19:14 says,

Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight oh Lord, my strength and my redeemer.

This is the prayer of a child of God, a believer and the mediations of your heart transcends to your outward dressing.

Nobody wakes up to wear just anything, especially if you are going to work because every office has a dress code.

For there is a look of a doctor, nurse, pilot, soldier and etc.Therefore, there is a look of a decent person.

Why do we have school uniforms for students, it is because we  address them as students.

That means, before you wear anything know who you are and your intentions.

Your dressing says a lot about you whether you believe it or not. 

As a child of God dress to be seen and called a child of God.

Dress your body, to please and honor your maker.

You can dress smart, you can dress elegant yet be covered. 

Dress the way you want to be addressed.

Confession:

I dress smart, elegant and yet decent. 

I don't dress anyhow but I dress to honour myself. .

Amen.
