Let us look at the very first part of our lesson appart from the introduction👇

Ep 01c

UNDERSTANDING THE VALUE OF A WOMAN.

---

Wow what an amazing part.

I will begin with the two sides of a woman that must be dealt with. And here I will be dealing with the dressing style.

Revealing the inner value of a woman

I know you might expect me to be talking about issues like wearing trousers or wearing high heals and so on 😂😂,. But to tell the truth, I’m not into that business. What I want to direct you into is what we call proper reasoning I believe we are not that weak kiasi cha kuweza kujadili misuruali.

But tutajenga uwezo wetu wa kufikiri, up to a level of why shouldn’t you do this and why should you do this?

Where you can say that I don’t do this because to me it is inferior, or it’s not according to my level.

So we no longer struggle with discussions about some things because they are of low standards

The Bible says👇👇👇

1 Corinthians 6:12
[12] All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Vitu vyote ni halali kwangu, lakini si vyote vifaavyo; vitu vyote ni halali kwangu, lakini mimi sitatiwa chini ya uwezo wa kitu cho chote.

What Paul is talking about here is the power of proper reasoning
Now here is the proper reasoning concerning clothes and wearing styles, and decorations
👇👇👇

1 Peter 3:3-4
[3]Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

Kujipamba kwenu, kusiwe kujipamba kwa nje, yaani, kusuka nywele; na kujitia dhahabu, na kuvalia mavazi;

[4] But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

bali kuwe utu wa moyoni usioonekana, katika mapambo yasiyoharibika; yaani, roho ya upole na utulivu, iliyo ya thamani kuu mbele za Mungu.

Now kwa andiko hili Petro hayupo kinyume na mavazi, but he is trying to compare the glory of the two kinds of values.

When he says “let it not be that outward adorning” he doesn’t mean that women should not be adorning themselves. But he says that the adorning should consider the inner dimension than the outside dimension.
So the way you are going to put yourself depends on which part of you that you want us to come across first.

Hear me, there is a value in your outer appearance and there is also a value in your inner appearance.

But the most important one is your inner value. And it is the one that is supposed to manifest first.

When people look at you, what part of you do they see first

When your husband look at you, what part of you does he see first?

When you meet your children, what part of you reaches out first to them.

When they say that you are beautiful, what beauty do they refer to?
This awareness will make you undervalue every material you see, and you will begin to develop materials in the inside

And this awareness will begin to make you selective about about how you put yourself

You will begin to be selective basing on your standards
