*THEME:* *MYSTERY BEHIND FACE POWDER*
*TEXT:* *JAMES 1:22-25*

*"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his NATURAL FACE IN A MIRROR; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does."*

Is it sinful to use face powder? Is God in support of it? Does using it make me worldly or unacceptable to God? Can I make heaven with using powder? What is even the mystery behind powder?

The questions above has been asked times without number by believers, especially by our sisters (Daughters of Zion). But to shock you, my answer to those questions is neither YES nor No. My preaching is not about law, but grace, truth and hope. The question is a surface question, and I'm not a surface feeder that would give you surface answer.

You must understand this quite well as believers; the Wisdom of God is in mystery, and it has to be exploited by SPIRITUAL means since God is Spirit.

My first response to  those questions is this: using powder may not necessarily disqualify you from being acceptable by God. If your spirit agrees with it, then feel free! And if not, stop it! OK?

Another response is this: if you're under authority not to use it, either by your local assembly or your parents, then you dare not! Ok?

Now to its mysteries

Question Question Question

- To my dear sisters, is it possible to apply face powder without checking the mirror if the powder is rightly applied? No shey? Good of you!

- When you discover the powder is not rightly applied, what will you do? I'm sure you will adjust it IMMEDIATELY to make sure it covers your entire face, and not when you come back from where you're going.

- Why the IMMEDIATE adjustment, and not when you're back from where you're going? I'm sure you would do that so you're are not mocked by friends of indecent body makeup.

Hmmmmm!!!!! Sister Sister!!!!!! Powerful sisto! Wonderful face dresser. Wonderfully majestic in facial powder application! Bravo sis!

I show you a mystery, if this same principle of immediate adjustment is applied to the Word of God when He reveals your true heart status to you, your life would have become like the garden of Eden.

When the Word convict you of lust, unforgiveness, deceit, envy, anger, pretense and the like... Instead of you to IMMEDIATELY ask for His cleansing, you replied by saying, 'it doesn't matter, I can always repent anytime I desire'. No wonder your Christianity is resultless. Failure, lack, curse, oppression, depression are your customers, because you're only hearer and not the doer of the Word.

I confront you today:

- Stop wearing suit, coat and garment on a perforated inner life.
- Stop spending your God-given resources to buy the perishables. Develop your inner man.
- No man is looking for a sister who's decorated outwardly while perforated within. We need sisters and brothers with SUBSTANCE within.
- Your secrete sin will find you out. Stop faking it and start being REAL to God and humanity.
- Before God will permit the devil to wipe out a man from the football field of life to eternal doom because of secrete sins, He will first warn him with several YELLOW CARDS.

I'm not saying you shouldn't use your face powder. But you must see what God is saying through it as written in the scriptural text above.

FFT: If all you're spending your time and resources on is to decorate yourself externally, and not your inner man; be sure you're heading for TROUBLE, and then from there to DISASTER, and then to CALAMITY, and finally, CATASTROPHE

Repent of besetting sins

LOVE YOU DEARLY!!!!!!!!!
