CHRISTIAN HEAD COVERING
David Abankwah
SERIES: Day 4
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
-I Corinthians 11:4 | NKJV
As the head of man is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is God the Father, in the church, men ought not to cover their head as the women do. At first in the Old Testament, the men once covered their head in the tabernacle, because Jesus Christ or God was not yet revealed. Covering their head was an indirect way of saying we are still expecting God to reveal Himself in the flesh. Even though the Old Testament was the shadow of Christianity to come, it was just the religion of Judaism. There were many practices of Judaism that no longer function in Christianity. But the sad thing is that, as we have transitioned from Judaism (OT) into Christianity (NT), many people are still in Judaism.
God permitted the worshippers in Judaism to do certain things because the real worship of Truth and Spirit which is Christianity had not yet been instituted by Him. It was just like God permitting marriage of more than one wife, marriage of the same family, stoning people who sinned to death, sacrificing animals for atonement of sins and other ceremonial practices in the Old Testament. But now, God doesn’t permit that in Christianity. The tradition of men covering their head has been transitioned. Men ought not to cover their heads with any veil again. This dishonours Jesus Christ who is the head of the church now. We can no longer hide Him as the Authority of the church.
As we put on head covering as men, we are indirectly saying Jesus Christ is no longer the Lord and God of the church. If there is any head of the church, it is us. No wonder many founders and leaders of the church don’t mind wearing hats and other head coverings to preach. It is a big insult to do that as a Minister. Praying and prophesying are ways of ministering onto God and the God you are ministering to, you have covered Him, so who are you ministering to now? Is it not Satan? Is it not Satan who is your head now? No wonder all the churches who permit their Bishops and other Ministers to cover their head are all congregation of the dead. If you stay there, you will go to hell.
No worship leader, prayer leader, singer, Pastor or any person who leads the congregation or any church member who is a male, is mandated by God to cover his head in the church. You can do that in your house and not in the church. Even in your home when you are praying, you don’t have to cover your head as a man. It is a way of dishonoring Jesus Christ and all those who dishonour the Son dishonour God the Father and such people can never have eternal life. Many people who see nothing wrong with men covering their heads are filled with the spirit of the Antichrist (anti means opposing someone or something). If you are not against Jesus Christ, why do you dishonour Him?
•| Prayer Diary |•
Lift up prayers for humility to submit yourself to the authority of Jesus Christ for not wearing any head covering no matter what your status in the church is in the name of Jesus Christ.
Quote
You are against Jesus Christ as a man anytime you put on a head covering while praying or ministering.
