Here are the lessons learnt from Bro Eli
According to the Bible, a man has two beings.
- the outward man
- the inward man
The outward man is our flesh, the body. It gets weak and old.
The inward man is strong and is the same.
There are some who the inner man is not man.
Matthew 7:15 KJV
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves
Their outward man is man but their inner man is a beast. They behave in an animal manner.
Proverbs 26:11 KJV
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
What is the meaning of man?
Genesis 1:26 KJV
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
The meaning of man is a creature made after the image of Hod and possesses dominion upon the earth.
How do we discern the inner man?
Romans 7:22 KJV
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Some men hate the law. They go against the law, they kill, steal from their fellow men, and commit all kinds of sins.
Psalms 40:8 KJV
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
The inward man is delighted in doing the will of God.
I Peter 3:3 KJV
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
God prohibits women from adorning their hair because He knows it is harmful to them. Adding chemicals to hair, the body is at high-risk. Some are infected with cancer which could alter cost them their lives. For us to be able to serve God our health should be kept.
Romans 9:20 KJV
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Wehould not complain to God because he know her is best for us. Using artificial means to change our look is prohibited. We are like aud in God's hand and he has created us in the best way.
