CHRISTIAN HEAD COVERING
David Abankwah
SERIES: Day 1
Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and KEEP THE TRADITIONS just as I delivered them to you.
-I Corinthians 11:2 | NKJV
Head covering is one of the traditions of the church as given as utterance by the Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul. It is not the dogma adopted by any Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Calvinist, and Methodist church. Today, because of modernity, many churches are no longer upholding such tradition. They think it is outmoded and cannot fully function since strictness of such a tradition can drive people out of the church. Because many Ministers have become money conscious, fat tithes and offerings are their concern and not where the souls of their congregation are going. Indeed, many people are in the assembly of the dead thinking they are serving God.
And surely, many believers whose ears have become deaf towards sound doctrine as Paul prophesied in the lives of many in this end time, cannot no longer uphold sound doctrine. They think they are serving God but they don’t know the God they are serving. Even in the Trinity, there is a hierarchy. The Persons of the Son and the Spirit cannot do what they want even though they are in the form of God, they know they are under the authority of God the Father. But today, the church thinks she can do whatever she feels like because if the world changes, she too can follow suit. The head of the church is Jesus Christ and not any property of any human being or Minister.
So if you don’t read the Bible and apply it, you will end up in the lake of fire. If your Pastor doesn’t teach you, don’t you have a Bible? Have you not come across 1 Corinthians 11 or you only read Psalms and Proverbs? The hierarchy is set. The head of the woman is man, the head of man is Jesus Christ and the head of Jesus Christ is God the Father. Because the head of Jesus Christ is God the Father, that was why He didn’t use His head to carry the cross but He had to put it on His shoulder depicting a sign of authority of the Father. No man is permitted to put on any head covering in the church. Who are you to dishonour the Word of God? No Shepherd is bigger than the Word of God.
Today many Bishops commit abomination by putting on head coverings in the church and the congregation is blind to see Matthew 24:15 working. If the Shepherds themselves are breaking the tradition of the church, how can they teach the congregation to do so? No wonder the Holy Spirit has left many churches and carnality has become the order of the day. Many Shepherds have become like dumb dogs who can’t bark at the errors going on in the church and the congregation also want the adulterated Word of God because of their sinful ways. Every nation has its own tradition of dressing and as Christianity is also a nation, we have our own. Don’t destroy the ancient landmark.
