Servant of God and founder of the Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman has charged young ladies to use their beauty to honour God, emphasizing that physical beauty is a gift from God intended to bring glory to Him, rather than to be used for vanity or self-exaltation.
Apostle Suleman, while delivering his usual weekly lecture penultimate week, posisted that physical beauty is a resource from God, which should be managed only for serving God.
“Some young ladies don’t even know that their beauty is meant to serve God, the ‘Restoration Apostle’ noted. He continued; “When you finish dressing up and do the 20-seconds video of a beautiful girl on her way to church, a beautiful girl serving God; use that beauty to serve God so that when people that are not close to you in beauty see you, they would be amazed and say see this one serving God with all her beauty.”
Advocating that women are encouraged to use their attractiveness to attract people to Christ, Suleman affirmed that true beauty is defined by serving God and representing Christ’s holiness and dignity.
Using the scripture to validate the teaching, Apostle Suleman referenced John 4 verse 16 to 18. “There was a woman who met Jesus and Jesus told her “go and call your husband” and she said “I have no husband”. Jesus said “no, you just lied, you have had five husbands and the one you’re with now is not your husband”.
For a woman to have been married five times, there was something about her that men could not resist. There was something about the woman. For a man to know that she had had four husbands in the past, in one lifetime; and the man still said “I don’t care; with what I’m seeing even if you had married ten before I will marry you.”
When Jesus encountered her, the woman left her water pot and went to the city and brought all the men and told them “come and see a man; I have met men but here is a man”. She went to the city with her weapon, the beauty, that attracted men. So, for ladies, that is your responsibility as a believer. Your beauty is service. Your intelligence is service.
“When the enemy came, he said to the Lord Jesus “bow down and worship me”. Jesus said “no” (Matthew 4 verse 10) “Thou shall worship thy God only, and He alone shalt thou serve”.
So, service is worship. What is service? Service is advancing an interest with your entirety. To advance an interest; to promote a cause and its agenda. That is service. Service is involvement in kingdom gratification. Anything done to promote the kingdom, anything done to sponsor the kingdom; anything done to see that the kingdom advances, is service.
Therefore, with everything you have you shall serve the Lord thy God. Service brings immunity. You shall serve the Lord thy God (Exodus 23-25) and He shall bless thy bread and bless thy water. Are you aware that just being in a department, you are writing applications to longevity? Just being effective in a place, you are getting immunity. It means that there are many sicknesses averted just because you sang in the choir. There are many sicknesses averted just because you joined the protocol. There are many sicknesses averted just because you became an usher.
As you serve me in the uniform, it is my duty to take away sickness from you. As you appear in the group, it is my duty to take away sickness from you. As you joined the media, it is my duty to take away sickness from you. As you joined the technical, it is my duty to take away sickness from you. As you joined evangelism, it is my duty to take away sickness from you. So, you must understand the power of service.
