"Someone will say, “I am allowed to do anything.” Yes; but not everything is good for you. I could say that I am allowed to do anything, but I am not going to let anything make me its slave." (1 Corinthians 6:12)
THE SEXY DRESSING TRENDS
The current dressing trend for women of all ages and all social classes is the sexy attire. Nowadays, about 80% of women, especially the girls and young adults, dress in ways that make them not just attractive but also seductive. They arrange and package their bodies to be sexually appealing to men, as soon as the latter set eyes on them.
Many women operate their seduction by wearing very short skirts to show their thighs, and their hips - when they bend down. Some wear transparent gowns to show the color and contours of their body. Some wear blouses without hands to show off their chests and breasts. Meanwhile, some others combine their short skirts and short blouses to show their chest, their belly and their thighs. There are, also, some who wear elastic gowns - without bras and panties - so that their beasts and buttocks joggle, as they move up and down the streets.
Finally, many women optimize their schemes to seduce men or to stay in vogue by planting artificial eyelashes, and by coloring their lips and their eyebrows to charm.

SHE SHOWS HER THIGHS |
WHY SHE SHOWS HER BODY
So, out of my curiosity I reached out to seven different women with the same question, "Why do you dress up to show your body?" They gave me seven different answers. Follow me!
1. The girl child said: This is the latest fashion. I love it! My mom bought it for me. Mine is just like hers. If I dress up decently my friends would mock me - call me "primitive", "old woman" - and all sorts of things. Leave me alone!
2. The single woman said: My friends are all married. I need a husband - and if I don't look sexy the guys would not see me. This is a game. Let me try my luck!
3. The fiancée said: Yes, I am already engaged in marriage with my guy. But men are unpredictable - I still do not trust him - until we tie the knot. I want to hold him sensually captive until he weds me. It is my game - let me be!
4. The street girl said: There are too many girls out here, but the men are very few. If I don't dress this way, no man will see me. And what will I eat? I need a sugar daddy! If you don't want me, get out of my way!
5.The married woman said: Yes, I am legally married, and my husband loves me, but men are capricious. I want to hold my husband bound by showing him that I am just as sexy as - if not more sexy than - the girls he admires out there, every day. Check your wife - leave me!
6. The nursing mother said: I just put to birth a few weeks ago, and I am still breastfeeding my baby. I know how "hot" my husband is - I will not let him loose. My dressing is a warning to him to stay close to the mother of her baby - so that another man does not come near. This is my body - man, mind your business!
7. The grandmother said: Yes, I am getting old, but that is the reason why I should enjoy my life even more. When my children and children-in-law go out partying, they abandon me at home because I am old-fashioned. My sexy dressing makes me fit for the outings - there I can relax, and enjoy my life. Do you want me to die now? Or you are jealous of me?
From their answers it appeared to me that the men are the cause of the women showing their bodies. We will talk about this in another post - but for now, let us see what it is - the body.

YOU ARE GOD'S TEMPLE
"Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God; he bought you for a price. So use your bodies for God's glory." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
So it is clear - from this scripture - that you are the tenant of your body, and not the owner. A tenant does not own the house - the owner is the one who builds it. That is why the tenant cannot renovate or change anything on the house - painting, fixtures, purpose, etc- without the consent and permission of the owner. Similarly, God is the owner of your body and you are his house - because he created you. That is why demons live in stones, rivers, caves, and pits - but the human body is the only dwelling of God on earth. For this reason, to wilfully go naked, or show sensitive parts of your body in public, is an act of sacrilege.
When the first humans disobeyed God, he did not send them away naked. As the scripture says: "And the Lord God made clothes out of animal skins for Adam and his wife, and he clothed them." (Genesis 3:21) Then God was made flesh, in order to redeem the fallen Man. And he gives his Spirit to live in the human body in order to restore the human being to his divinity. In baptism the human body is ritually consecrated as the temple of God, so that through Jesus Christ the one may be restored to the glory of God. As it is written: "God raised the Lord from death, and he will also raise us by his power." (1 Corinthians 6 :14).
WHY YOU COVER YOUR BODY
"Avoid immorality. Any other sin a man commits does not affect his body; but the man who is guilty of sexual immorality sins against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18)
You, sexy women, have reasons for showing your bodies. But, as it is written: "Your conscience is clear, but it does not mean that you are really innocent" (1 Corinthians 4:4). That is why scripture, morality and logic, are here, to give you, also, seven valid reasons for you to cover your body. Follow me - "You will Know the Truth and the Truth will set you free" (John 8 :32).
1. You were created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26), and through baptism you are dedicated as the temple of the Holy Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 6:11). Therefore, when you show your body, you defile the temple of God.
2. You, as a woman, are not only the temple of God - but you are also the vessel of the procreation of humanity (Genesis 1:28). So by showing your body, you also defile the dignity of the human being, procreated through your womb, in the image and likeness of God.
3. By showing your body, as a woman, you cause men to commit many sins - lust, fornication, adultery, murder and suicide. (2 Samuel 11:2-27)
4. By showing your body, as a woman, you invite demons to enter into your body, torment you , and use you to posses and torment other people - especially men who sleep with you. (Matthew 12:45
5. By showing your body, as a woman, you attract lustful and unscrupulous men to exploit and dump you. This is one good reason why many pretty girls, like you, end up not having husbands - although many men desire them.
6. By showing your body, as a woman, you actually disgust and turn away the very honest and worthy suitors - who, otherwise, would have longed to marry you.
7. By showing your body, as a woman, you make yourself so cheap, mean, and worthless in the eyes of men. Even the men who go out or sleep with you, do mock you, in your absence.
GOD DEFEATS YOUR ENEMIES
"But you belong to God, my children, and have defeated the false prophets, because the Spirit who is in you is more powerful than the spirit in those who belong to the world." (1John 4:4).
It is also written:
"I have told you this so that you will have peace by being united to me. The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world!” (John 16:33);
What these scriptures mean is that; by keeping your body holy, you allow God to live in you, and when God lives in you; there are three things that happen: he provides for your body, he overcomes your challenges, and he gives you his peace.
Therefore, the way to overcome your challenges, succeed in your marriage, and fulfill your life is: to believe in God, keep his teachings, live your faith, have a good character, love and forgive one another, and pray to God - with faith and patience. When you are faced with a problem or need, do what you have to do - according to the teachings of God and ways of the Church - then, leave the rest for God. "For there is nothing that God can not do" (Luke 1:37). Really, God will not allow you to be tormented, when you use your body to serve and glorify him. So, follow me! "You will Know the Truth and the Truth will set you free" (John 8 :32)
1. You, girl child, listen: The model of your dressing is Jesus Christ, who is alive in the Word of God. Do not imitate your mother when she does what is wrong. And, try not to please your friends, but to please God who created you, and loves you infinitely.
2. You, single woman, listen: Your wish to marry is legitimate. But if you show your body, men - not husbands - will run after you. Rather, if you build up the character of a wife and remain faithful to God, your own husband will locate you, even without first seeing your face.
3. You, fiancée, listen: Your open body cannot really bind your fiancé to you - if he is a flirt, he would quickly get fed-up after seeing your nakedness just a few times. If you love your guy, build up your character as a wife to please him, and support him with your prayers, to overcome all temptations. Then, if he is for you, your wedding will be done.
4. You, street girl, listen: This is what the LORD says, "The body is not to be used for sexual immorality, but to serve the Lord; and the Lord provides for the body." (1 Corinthians 6:13). Therefore, prostitution is a sin against your own body. It is also a sacrilege because your body is the temple of God. But the good news is that God is able to provide for your body. Now, repent and surrender your body to God. Then call to him in prayer and he will provide the things you need - work, partner, joy, and eternal life.
5. You, married woman, listen: You have done it - congratulations! But, if you are not yet married in Church, take steps for your marriage to be blessed and sealed, in the sacrament of holy matrimony. Then your marriage would receive the grace of love, unity and fidelity to last - as long as you and your husband submit to God, to serve and support each other.
6. You, nursing mother, listen: You are blessed! Cherish your baby - it is both the fruit of your marriage and the testimony of the love between you and your husband. Your baby is the reason why your husband should love you even more. For the same reason your husband needs more of your moral and spiritual support - so you both may stay together to bring up your baby. So, pray for your man when he steps out and kiss him when he comes home - love conquers every evil!
7. You, grandmother, listen: You have become the Seat of Wisdom for your children, your children-in-law and your grandchildren. You are the one to show them the light - seek strength and counsel from God to admonish and guide them in the right ways. Your joy, fulfillment and longevity will be conditioned by how, and how far, you impact their lives positively. And there would be a greater reward for you in heaven - eternal life.
May God bless you you, as you read, meditate, apply and share this post with everyone, Amen.
