Good day everyone. God's word remains indispensable in all we do. So, we are all employed for our own good to dedicate ourselves in studying the scripture, which contains the mind of God.
Am Bro Ajah Kelvin and this post was done on the on the 18/7/22 to show my benefits from the Mass indoctrination Day 5 with Bro Eli Soriano on the 15/7/22.
From the teaching, we learnt that fasting isn't complete without prayer and when we fast, we loose the bands of the wicked. when we fast , we are expected to forgive one another before coming to God in prayers. when we fast, we should keep ourselves well so others may not necessarily know that we are fasting. we aren't fasting for others to see; fasting is unto God and not any man. If we fast for others to see or notice us then we are fasting but in vain. We should give our food out to those who don't have to eat, clothes to those who don't and provide shelter too for the homeless if possible.
Isaiah 58:6
We also learnt in 1 Corinthians 11:14-25 that the hair of the woman is given her for her covering and when she prays, she is to have her head covered, for she is under the authority of Christ. The Man shouldn't have a covering over his head. It's a prohibition for a man to have his head covered before God. The head of a man is the representation of Christ and hence a shame to cover his head while praying. The woman was created for the man and not the man for the woman.
We also learnt in Ephesians 5:28&33 that a man is expected to love his wife as he loves himself. A wode should be treated well by her husband. The woman should learn to take care of her body; it's not evil for a woman to do this. cleanliness they say is next to godliness. The woman should present herself well to her husband. she should look attractive to her husband so he doesn't look at another woman outside and begin to desire to be with them.
We also learnt a godly couple would always raise godly children because they would bring them up in the admonition of the Lord. Zacharias the Priest and Elizabeth his wife were godly and they gave birth and raise a godly child, John the Baptist. When the family follows the doctrine of Christ, then the family would be kept intact.
God bless us all as we strive to dedicate ourselves continually to the word of God
