CHRISTIAN HEAD COVERING
David Abankwah
SERIES: Day 6
For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
-I Corinthians 11:6 | NKJV
It is either a woman covers her head when praying or ministering or have her hair shaved. Since many women value their hair, how are they going to have their hair shaved if they are not going to cover their head with a headgear or a scarf? It is not only shameful for a woman to have hair shaved but it is more shameful for a woman to pray, minister or be in the church without covering her head. Many people are deceived that in a church where they don’t obey such instruction, they even experience miracles. The same God who gave you the gift to use for His work, is the same God who will put you in the lake of fire. You may think you are working for Jesus Christ, but He may not know you.
Many women who prayed, ministered or went to church and were blessed without obeying the tradition of covering their head, will be shocked on the day of judgement that, Jesus Christ will tell them He never knew them. If blessing and miracles are linked to eternal life, then Matthew 7:21 would have never been written. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER in heaven.
-Matthew 7:21 NKJV. It is the will of God for every woman to cover her head in the presence of God, if not, she has to shave it. Your body is not yours but God’s. Don’t be deceived. It is His temple so dress it to the will of Jesus Christ.
If you think going to New Jerusalem is that easy, look at how Jesus Christ went through many afflictions, shame, agony, revilement etc to save us. If it is shameful to have your hair shaved and make it to New Jerusalem, then it is better than going to hell with all your beautiful hair unshaved without covering it. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell -Matthew 5:30 NKJV. It is more shameful for you to go to hell than to have your hair shaved as a woman and be despised. Don’t do anything you want in Christianity and think you can be saved.
If a man have her hair shaved or not, he is not permitted to cover his head but how long can a woman have her hair shaved without having her hair uncovered? This is because her hair will still grow and she has to shave it again. Why going through this stress if you just have to obey the simple instruction of covering your head? Whatever a woman does, she is not going to be in the same shoes of men, because the hierarchy is set right: the head of the woman is man and the head of man is God (Jesus Christ). There is no way the head of a man is going to be a woman. Instead of shaving your hair to be despised, just cover your beautiful natural hair. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
•| Prayer Diary |•
Lift up prayers for a willing mind, heart, soul and strength to obey the Word of God by cutting off and casting it out anything that leads you to sin rather than sacrificing onto Him in the name of Jesus Christ.
Quote
It is better OBEYING the simple instruction of covering your hair as a woman than shaving it as a SACRIFICE.
