Do you display Godly outward appearance?

Many worldly people give importance for outward appearance but inward they are cunning filled with hypocrisy. Some people Dress properly but their heart is evil and sinful. God is not so interested in what a person looks like outside but he looks what is their inside our heart but that doesn’t apply for justification of inappropriate clothes. Hos 4:6 says My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Many Such people who defends justification of inappropriate clothing obviously ignore some of the passages such as Matthew 5:16 where our Lord admonishes us, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father Which is in Heaven."

Proverbs 7:10 shows us that there is such a thing as the "attire of an harlot."

I Timothy 2:9 the Apostle Paul admonishes Timothy to exhort women to wear "modest apparel.In like manner also, that woman adorns themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety: not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God."

We must not only profess our faith and love for Christ but also need to practice such faith and love in our daily lives.

Just Our immodest clothing reveals our immoral attitude, wicked and hypocritical heart (Proverbs 7:10), so our decent, pure, appropriate modest clothing reveals our heart lying in a gentle and quiet spirit for this is precious to the sight of God (1 Peter 3:3-4).God looks for a heart who seeks God, who fears God, who will obey and follow his commandments by respecting him with trustful and submissive heart who truly devotes and serves God with all our heart, soul and mind. Jesus Christ is our role model and we need to follow the simplicity of lifestyle of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ doesn’t love outward glittering ornaments and expensive clothing with huge makeup’s rather he loves to come before him with our decent soberly modest cloth, in purity, holiness, and in godly attire.

Serving God for Financial profits!

There are many wicked men professing to be” men of God” these days who are con artists, selfish, deceivers, self-righteous, liars, obsessed for money. These people use our Lord Jesus Christ’s name, to con who are poor, meek, and needy in the name of serving God or serving the poor for their own greed and selfishness. They are only concerned in making money business to make their life and their loved ones better. They cheat people in the name of religion, in the name of churches exploit the name of Jesus to make money. These people beg money in the term of sowing financial seed to ministry or showing the slum children who live in poverty or in the form of donation. Too many churches have become nothing more than money making business centers.


These so called men of God are busy in accumulating wealth though their wicked tricks. Instead of fishing for men they cast their net and fish for material riches such as big cars, big homes, larger bank accounts, fame, wealth, prestige, money, power, authority, free travel around the world and an expensive lavish lifestyle. These preachers hardly know any poor and needy but their references are rich man who lives in luxurious. They know all the big and rich people of the city, instead of visiting the poor; they would rather visit the rich.

Scripture warnings about such people:

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." —Matthew 7:15

"Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation." —Luke 20:47

"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness." -1st Timothy 6:10,11

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and in your name have cast out devils, and in your name done many wonderful works? AND THEN WILL I PROFESS UNTO THEM, I NEVER KNEW YOU; DEPART FROM ME, YOU THAT WORK INIQUITY." Matthew 7:22-23

True righteous person who walks on godly path will be poor, rejected, and suffers persecution for witnessing Christ and desiring to follow Godly ways. Bad things continually happen to them by these wicked ungodly people.

 "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.2 Timothy 3:12

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me" Luke 9:23.

These wicked men who pretend to be Godly men hate to preach about truth ,sins, immorality, against the evils things in the world, 10 commandments, condemnation or judgment but preaches about money ,makes promises of health, wealth, and prosperity if one sends money in the form of donation or by planting a financial seed in their ministry, or by buying something from them. These are the believers who are lured into worldly things, they live and enjoy sin on daily basis and encourages others to live the same.

1John 3:4- 9 says "whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."

Deny Ungodliness and pursue Godliness!

Unrepentant, non believers and rebellious person continues to live in sin reject correction and they do not want their evil deeds to come to light because their works are evil and they live in comfortable sinful lifestyle. They are always looking for ways to mock and attack believers and those who are walking in Godly ways (Micah 3:2).


Ungodly people are spiritual blinded whose lives are not godly and are always opposed to God and his ways. The Bible says that ungodly people hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD and they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. They are people who do not put God and his Word first in their life rather they are more into worldly materialism, fun and enjoyment. They decide what is right and wrong out of their own mind and lusts, and reject and despise God’s demands and prohibitions. When you rebuke ungodly he will mock at you or he will find excuses to defend himself. Few among them may also say I am not into religious or spiritual stuff because we are all sinners and there is no one perfect. They are often filled with pride and arrogance, they boast and justify about their sinful lifestyle proudly.



As John 12:40 says “The Lord has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts--so that their eyes cannot see, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and have me heal them."


The counsel of the ungodly is any philosophy, teaching, idea, advises, thoughts, behaviors, lifestyles and attitude that does not come from the Bible and the Holy Spirit rather it comes from evils spirit which is demonic. The way of sinners is the path of one’s own will instead of God’s will. God's word says that you need to choose people that will lead you CLOSER to God - evil, ungodly people will corrupt you.


Psalm 1:1, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.”


There is no sin or habit which cannot be overcome, but sinners continue in sinning and they morally corrupt their surroundings. When we were born into this world, we were born with a sinful nature that opposes the law of God. But when we are born again by the spirit of God, we received a new divine nature that hates sin and we are born of God which we have a new nature that is convicting us of the sin in our life and moving them forward in God’s grace and victory over sin. Isaiah 9:17


Paul encouraged Timothy to be an example to other believers “in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity” (1 Timothy 4:12).

Jesus warns us never to set a bad example and cause others to sin (Romans 14:13, Matthew 18:6, 1Corinthians 8:9-13). People are watching our lives, and we should present a good example (Rom.14:7, 1 Cor. 15:33)

Whoever is born of God will not live in sin. (1 John 3:9).We need to hate sin by refusing to take part in it .We should condemn and rebuke the sin and the sinner when we see it. Since sin is of the devil. (1 John 3:8). Sin is to be hated, not excused or taken lightly. It is not hateful to tell a person is in sin. All unrighteousness is a sin.( 1 John 5:17). Saints are made free from sins and have become slaves of righteousness (Romans 6:18).We should never encourage ourselves and others in any evil things which causes us to sin and we should not delight in those who commit sins. Sin is the nature of a wicked and a characteristic of a Devil and who has gone spiritually away from God . We should continuously pray to God at all times to deliver us from all evil And guarding our self not to have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. The sins are always to be confessed, repented, mourned truly in order to be a righteous before God.

Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Psalm 97:10.

Scripture says to rebuke. In Proverbs 8:13: All who fear the LORD will hate evil. Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance, corruption and perverse speech.

Romans 12:9 :Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.



Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. Gal. 6:1



My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death

and will cover a multitude of sins. Jas. 5:19-20


If your brother sins go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. Matt. 18:15

Titus 1:13: "This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.

Conclusion: May we all continue to encourage and inspire others to live a Godly life thereby living as children of light which pleases the Lord." (Ephesians 5:8, 10)
