*DAILY DEW 28/DECEMBER/2022* *THE NEED FOR STRONG REPROOFS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life"* (Proverbs 6:23 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Without strong reproofs, permissiveness and looseness can very easily become the culture of your house, especially in how your leaders and workers are adorned. I remember years back, a young lady in the choir came to church wearing a see through dress to lead the singing. I came into the church and it was annoying as it was embarrassing. I stopped the singing, called her out, and told her to go home, change their dress and come back. She apologized and said that was all she could wear that Sunday Morning after the service. I gave her money after the service to go get a replacement, and told her to never dress like that anywhere, it was that bad, but she eventually dropped out of the church, but those that stayed on shared up in how they dressed and what they wore to church. The shock was the number of people that came to praise my courage to fix the shameful thing right and there. *Don't allow unruly people to create a counterculture in the house. If they cannot follow, peacefully ask them to leave!* It is why a Pastor must be of good courage. Some heretics cannot be admonished, and the cure is to reject and eject them out of the groups they seek to ruin, and as is always the case, they will move on, which is good for the church and them too. Don't allow one small girl to turn your hand and walk all over you; fix it. You cannot spend time teaching and then someone chooses to do as he or she pleases and walk all over the church, and dress like she is going to the club to lead singing in the church. I'd rather pray than have such singing. You cannot have a house full of scantily dressed ladies, and have the move the Spirit in signs and wonders, because we will have an explosion of naked boobs and bums! So the Holy Spirit would rather not deal. *Proper dressing should still be taught, and enforced among workers and leaders. We cannot keep looking the other way, and say, "the Holy Spirit will fix it!"* Despite Aarons flowing dresses, he was still to wear boxers from the waste to the thigh to prevent his nakedness from appearing by similitude to the people and before God. Ministering forbids nakedness. (NET) Exodus 28:42-43: "⁴² Make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked bodies; they must cover from the waist to the thighs. ⁴³ These must be on Aaron and his sons when they enter to the tent of meeting, or when they approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they bear no iniquity and die. It is to be a perpetual ordinance for him and his descendants after him." _MEDITATION:_ *"Set a standard for acceptable dressing in your house. Ensure no one in your workforce dresses and looks whorish, having eyes full of adultery. Don't discuss it, fix it."* *#Austine_Oviawe* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER* ❤ *#GuestMessage* Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
