How do you feel sitting near people you feel are inappropriately dressed for Church?
Do you send them bad eyes until they notice you or you just ignore?
What kind of Dressing is inappropriate to you?
Are there rules and regulations in your Church concerning what should be worn or not worn to Church?
Let's gist.........
To me, wear something you are very comfortable in, that’s not too revealing.
ReplyDeleteIn my parish, trousers are not allowed though.
When I see girls wear very high heels, I can’t help but laugh coz their steps just change 🤷🏿♀️ some start camel walking.
I remember when one girl fell in church cos of her heels, my sisters and I couldn’t help but laugh 😂 😂😂 why give yourself so much stress 🤷🏿♀️
I am seriously on this table. Thinking of jeans and cotton shirt for morrow service. Am not one for dressing up.
DeleteI don't care what people wear to church. Not like I would be there to see them anyway.
Delete😂😂😂 camel..
Delete@Slutty
Delete"Not too revealing?"
Why should it be revealing at all?
What are you revealing and for whom are you revealing them?
What is your intent in revealing those things (breasts, buttocks, vagina, waist?)
How many weak people will stumble because of your revelations?
And how many stumbled weak persons will go to hell because of your revelations?
Wearing earring as a guy in church???dem go bounce u oo except na jerrycoil, Gucci n Prada church
DeleteHahaha kami you don't go to church 😂 reason you wont be seeing them. Hope you are OK. Have a lovely weekend.
DeleteI'm very comfortable on my high heel footwears, I catwalk when I'm wearing them. That funny step doesn't happen with everyone.
DeleteKami,Dainty,please can you tell me where I can get the advanced clinicals vitamin C serum in Nigeria,preferably Abuja( I don't stay in Abuja tho)
Deleteplease my wedding is by December and I need to glow up.
As long as you look decent, it's fine. Trousers, jumpsuit, whatever, just be decent.
DeletePeople should be able to wear whatever they feel comfortable in to church. I love wearing short skirts or dresses and body hugging clothes and I don't see anything wrong in wearing them to church. I mean I shouldn't have a separate wardrobe for church right? Hubby wears earrings to church too. God only sees what's in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. Funky husband and wife.
DeleteVery funky
DeleteEarrings n adds big choker to his necklace.... Does he tie gele? 😁
DeleteTrue God sees our hearts but most times it is expected that you dress modestly to church because not everyone's faith is as strong as yours to avoid causing distractions to those that aren't as strong in the faith.
DeleteHmmm egbe eiye leye NBA fo
Deleteshort skirt, and body hugging dressing..do you know if just if during sermon someone's eyes is fixed on your thighs or curves licking lips and wishing? While with your whole heart your're recieving the word and saying amen.
DeleteGod sees our hearts yes but the same bible tells us not to do things that'll cause others to sin against God. Do you know that some ladies dress up and or dance seductively and make guys have an erection in church? God sees our hearts but the He is against certain things. Why don't I just wear a bikini to church since He looks at my heart? In all things, moderation is key biko.
Delete@Elena
DeleteLook at these Scriptures and think;
Proverbs 7:10 Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.
Questions: Are short skirts (not reaching the knees) and body-hugging gowns not prostitutes' attires?
What really are your (crafty) intents?
1 Timothy 2:9 -how modest are those clothes you described up there?
1 Corinthians 6:9 are those earrings on your husband not being effeminate?
Matthew 18:6
DeleteBut if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Elena, Let ANG catch you!
DeleteUnu abiakwa
ReplyDeleteI wear Jeans and trousers to church wella LMAO
Nothing wrong in wearing pants to church as long as it's decent IMO
You people can sha like to judge appearances sha
So far her dressing isn’t provocative and distracting, it shouldn’t be a problem. Salvation is all in the heart and personal. Who am I to judge?
ReplyDeleteProverbs 7:…9at twilight, as the day was fading, into the dark of the night. 10Then a woman came out to meet him, WITH THE ATTIRE OF A PROSTITUTE and cunning of heart. 11She is loud and defiant; her feet do not remain at home.…
ReplyDeleteYes, my yarns be say, prostitutes, whores, runs girls..." get uniform ooo.
You want to know their uniform?
Ajuju ooo
All those wey sdk tailors dey re-sew, cover them boobies, their buttocks, their toh🤐🤐, convert champe to maxi or at least one that reaches the knees...
Aha...na runs (Naija)girl's attires be that one ooo.😊😊
How are God's people supposed to dress?
Ajuju number two:
1 Timothy 2: 9Likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with RESPECTABLE APPAREL WITH MODESTY, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.…
You see as (Word of) God yarn am?
For me, I no dey wear jean because, I do not find any "respectable jean" that
accommodates my behind. If I try am,
pastor no go fit preach and I want
the people of God whom I love to hear God's Word. So I make my skirts and gowns loose at the hips 😊😊
The one we read in Proverbs above talks about the "cunning in heart" or crafty intent. When you dress up with
the intent to seduce pastor/members and not to please your husband or Jesus, no be prostitute uniform you wear for ya body and heart?
Ajuju n'ese okwu oo
Make I drop my "yarns mic." here o.
And perhaps give ndi uta space to shoot. 😊😊😊
I always look forward to your response. You even expect ndi uta all the time lols. Pls don't stop commenting.
DeleteOne question pls, are you lady igloo? She used to comment like you then stopped at a time
From most comments here I now see where the skimpy teens got their dressings from
DeleteWhat a pity.
ANG preach on, because this heaven we must reach there
DeleteI've been consistent on this blog for years. She is Lady Igo.
DeleteANG we must make heaven in Jesus name, Amen. Let me share an experience I had last week. I went to immigration headquarters, Abuja wearing a long skirt that reached down to my toes and a short sleeve top that didn't cover my arm but covered my shoulders..
DeletePeople of God do you know I was denied entry at the reception on account of indecent dressing? It really awakened me that my hands should be at least be half covered. I didn't expose my body in any form but it was a heads up.
Please heaven issa goal....every correction that needs be made must be made. People don't harden your heart or give excuses.. Just live to please Jesus...live in love considering other believers. Jesus loves you..please love him back. How would he feel if he was standing right there physically with those revealing clothes you have on? Would you be ashamed or proud? Jesus loves you.
DeleteI think dresses that exposes cleavages and thighs arent appropriate,there should also be moderation in slayers dressing too. I av a friend that attends a church that starts with 'H' cos shes going there to slay with slayers.
ReplyDeleteSome sundays ago I saw a very busty lady
DeleteThat was listening to sermon outside apparently she had her cleavage all over the place , she was even uncomfortable, she ended up using a handkerchief to cover her chest
I was just so surprised.

Na household I went there for years! I flat tire! No husband I borrowed myself sense and left lol you can wear Anything to that church then. But heard the pastor more strict now with the way the women slay!
DeleteIf you dress modestly to church but dress to kill, yes kill men spiritually by seducing them and packaging their souls to hell, you are devil's evangelist. Your duty is to populate hell.
ReplyDeleteProverbs 23:26My son, give me your heart
and let your eyes delight in my ways,
27for an adulterous woman is a deep pit,
and a wayward wife is a narrow well.
28Like a bandit she lies in wait
and multiplies the unfaithful among men.
I have always asked this same question when people say that they dress to kill,
Deletekill who exactly?
Loads of people have a target with their way of dressing.
DeleteThe Only type of clothing that puts me off is Those Party types of clothes.
ReplyDeleteIt is not appropriate in the House of Clothes,forget all those " God does not look @ the outside,it's the Inside " Statement people using in justifying their inappropriate look. Dress the way you want to be Addressed Biko
People say things to support their irresponsibility and it's just sad, if you talk they tag you assistant Jesus.
DeleteI really don't have a problem with ladies wearing pants to church or blinged out men but i think the 'come as you are' phrase has been taken too literally.
ReplyDelete1 Timothy 2:8-10 (amplified)
I desire therefore in every place man[woman] should pray without anger or quarrelling or resentment or doubt, lifting up their holy hands.
Also, i desire that women should adorn themselves modestly and appropriately and sensibly in seeming APPAREL. Not with elaborate hair arrangement or gold or pearls or expensive clothing.
But by doing good deeds as befits women who reverential fear and devotion to God.
@Perxian
DeleteYou typed the truth up there. A cloth for e.g. jean that is appropriate in a church in say
USA, may not be appropriate in Nigeria. In a middle east church, you will see them wear hijab
which is appropriate and sensible there but not here in Nigeria. Even jeans can be worn sensibly
and not wearing tight jean that displays all the butts and camel toes etc.
But what confuses me about your quoting of Scriptures is that you do not have any qualms about
fornication which same Scriptures in 1 Cor. 6:18 says we should flee. You talk so freely how you
sleep with a man that has not married you. Please if I am wrong correct me. I am being sincere here
as much as I can. Thanks for sharing.
Don't be confused, ANG. Lol, hey! I know the scriptures just like i know right from wrong, i just chose to fornicate.
Delete@Perxian
DeleteThanks for your sincere response. Let me make a sincere suggestion. You know from the Scriptures that once a man pays a lady's bride price, that man has married the lady; right? Why not do it right, that way?
And you know these Scriptures too:
Hebrews 10:26If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.
Luke 12:47 That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Newsflash - Been married for 57 days now but who's counting? 😀
DeleteI am a married woman, ANG.
Perxian got married recently,
DeleteThe only thing I can add here is our lifestyle does more evangelism than the words of our mouth ,
May we not be the reason why someone would hardened their heart to the message of salvation due to poor godly living.
@Perxian
DeleteNice to know that and may it be "till death...".
I was only being concerned and I would have been not at peace in my conscience not
to bring up what I have always read from your comments here long before the time you
specified you married. If Jesus is your Lord and lives in your heart, your words will agree with his word
for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
You see that when it comes to family life, eternal life etc, I do not "yarn" the jokes. 😊
Who made this ANG judge over Israel???
DeleteIs Perxian or anybody on this blog accountable to you???
Please take a chill pill!!!
@19:42
DeleteJudge over Israel?
😂😂😂😂
This is a new arrow
I hope you become a Jew Indeed (New Testament believer in Jesus)
so that you will not succumb in eternal judgment.
Stella, God bless you. Like you know what has been on my mind lately (this week precisely). My church will say workers shouldn't put on trousers and apply little or no make up to church but they can put it on outside. Is that not hypocrisy?
ReplyDeleteBefore I became a worker, there was this lady I saw along the road who's a worker in my church, honestly, I didn't recognise her cos I couldn't reconcile the person I use to see in skirt in church with this person in leggings walking opposite me.
My point is, if you want to be an example in dressing and total outward appearance, then let it be both in and outside the church. Dressing differently in both occasions is just living in hypocrisy (in my opinion).
yeah any cloth you can't wear to church don't wear elsewhere. Any cloth you can't wear elsewhere don't wear to church. People bash others for wearing certain clothes to church but wear same outside.If it is bashable,it is not wearable
DeleteBut you know that there are clothes meant for every occasion.
DeleteI take it that mechanics, models, doctors or lawyers wouldn't be welcome in your church by your personal standards. There are different outfits for different times and places, abeg. If you don't want to be a church worker, just say so.
DeleteI feel you should wear what your comfortable in to church, having in mind that its a place of worship. Trouser is not allowed in my parish sha.(Catholic church) but some parish do allow trouser. I haven't seen a man with earring in church so I can't say.
ReplyDeleteLadies please stop wearing tight jumpsuits to church, those ones that shows your bumbum line and the shape of your virgina. Pleaseeeeeee
ReplyDeletevirgina?
DeleteHow about the shape of their promiscuous?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Vagina*
DeleteSome women don't mind showing their camel toe.
DeleteI do wear trousers to church. No big deals.
ReplyDeleteWear what you are comfortable. But men putting on earrings is a no for me.
Yes, wear something that you're comfortable in, but it should also make those around you comfortable.. I don't support wearing cleavage revealing and very short dresses to church.
ReplyDeleteMen also need to stop sagging all the name of fashion.
A lady with very wide hips and bum wore a singlet with cyclist shorts on Wednesday to church, all eyes were on her, wicked stares o, lol,after service she came to hug me as "mummy in d lord" i just told her she looked good but should wear something better and more appropriate next time.I could see she wasnt proud of herself cos she was sober.i even tell ushers to b a lil patient with new members who dresses provocatively, i believe they ll dress decently with time. I dont judge ppl by how they dress to church
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with one wearing trousers to church. No big deal.
ReplyDeleteWear what you have or you are comfortable in, for me I can't wear pants to church, I can't be looking odd in d midst of fantastic designs of laces n Ankara.
ReplyDeleteModeration and modesty is key, the focus in any true church should be Christ. Thing is Nigerians are simply religious, church going is a habit for some, they are not necessarily going there to seek God.
ReplyDeleteWithout being judgemental. There are clothes for different occasions. There are office wears, Party wears,sleep wears, Dinners wears, sport wears and for me church wears. Its not only about being comfortable but being appropriate. I choose my atire with this consciousness even to church.
ReplyDeleteExactly
DeleteIt's all about dressing appropriately,
It's not that hard, I personally whether church or not if I dress up and my spirit condemns what I wear , I just go ahead to wear something else .
This ladies and Trousers thing should not be an issue, just throw anyone contesting it, inside a -30 degrees and up Winter and hear their confessions.
ReplyDeleteI am not down with men piercing tough.
I have read some not all the comments.
ReplyDeleteFist of all you are going to church to worship God and you will definitely be observed consciously or unconsciously by people.
What is the motive of your dressing? You have to truthfully answer that question.
Remember you are not going to a club or a fashion parade. So have this in mind.
Then again you need to ask yourself how you will you dress if you were going to a job interview. Some people dress their best without anything showing. There is a word called modesty. You want to appear your best at a job Interview so you can be viewed as a responsible person. Why not when you are going to church?
We should have some respect for God. Now my opinion is on general dressing not whether or not someone wears trousers.
Then some ladies will wear short dresses and get a wrap to cover their legs. That's already a no for me. If you need an additional covering other than what you are wearing then its not for church.
Why do would you want to wear something and your boobs are popping out. Who is on display your boobs or yourself. Its so crazy when I see ladies struggling with what they are wearing in the name of being trendy.
The truth is some guys judge how modest and descent a babe is by her her dressing.
I have admired the Royals by their dressing. Nicely and modestly dressed no one can throw a shade on them as much as possible. The times I have seen them dressed maybe with a little flesh showing, there was a public outrage. But at the most they cannot be disrespected because of what they wore.
Actually some ladies do it to draw attention to themselves. They have goods for sale. And I don't think it is right. You don't have to show anything to show how nice, intelligent or hot you are.
Lets keep what is private, private. When we buy phones and iPad etc. We want to keep them covered and protected. Why can't we protect ourselves and dignity too by doing the right thing. The truth is we know what is right and we make choices. May God help us.
What is happening now in this our day shows the end is near.
Very well written ,
DeleteIf they're even meeting with the president all that come as you are phrase would be eliminated ,
But to have respect for God is such a big deal ,
No wonder I see skimpy dresses teenagers in church .
Decent...not descent please.
DeleteAs an abroad person here is why i dont miss Nigeria
ReplyDeleteWe can wear anything to church without people looking like you are not dressed enough
Jeans and shirt with sneakers
Leggins with long top to cover my booty.
Just anything you are comfortable in. Yes i do agree we should be decently dressed .
But when you go to a church where you are not judged by what you look like. You wont even see what people are wearing , you just go to church, worship andgo home.
Another positive about churches here service patapata 1:30 mins .
Mot the one that will have drama presentation, choir presentation, testimony, 10 offerings 🤣🤣🤣
Gosh! I went to naija church for crossover last year! Never again!
Thats why our country is the way it is
We focus on so many wronggggg things! N funny enough many Nigerians have wicked hearts. Upon all the i dont wear revealing cloths to church but your heart is worse than the girl who wore something revealing abi
Contnue
My dear I solidly concur with you. In Nigeria what I observe is people "do" church. They are very religious and correct (according to their churches) but they are very judgemental, they could be very mean and look down on those they feel they are better than. You see some toting big Bibles on Sunday. Yet some commit grievous sins and can be calling Jesus while committing sin. Many have no genuine love for their fellow men. May God give us the grace to serve Him.
DeleteExactly! I wear jeans all the time to church! People in Nigeria “do” church, dress and act the part, even when their heart isn’t there. They will fornicate, kidnap, do adultery, list goes on and be sitting at front seat.
DeleteMatt:15:11 said that what defiles a man is what comes out of him, but I can not wear trousers or spaghetti hands to Church. I am Catholic they preach about decent and indecent dressing but some people
ReplyDeletel am more comfortable dressing decent and simple to church but I enjoy feeding my eye with those that came to entertain us.
ReplyDeletesometimes, distractions are very much allowed in my own view.
I tell you. Some came to entertain us ooo. Even some of the so called decently dressed.
DeleteMy parish does not kick against it because so many people dress up for work before coming to attend morning mass.
ReplyDeleteBut for Sunday mass you hardly see people wearing trousers to church.
In my opinion, the arrangement is cool.
Very easy
ReplyDeleteFollow the church's dress codes
Personally don't like wearing Jeans to church, too casual.. That's what I wear for hustling on the street(s)
Stella thanks for this post! I just became a worker in my church this year. And you must wear hat a coperate wears. Yuh can’t even wear native. I just feels the rules and regulations is too much
ReplyDeleteIn some churches the rules and regulations become so pressing, that the pressure forces those who cannot keep up to either take a back seat or drop out. This is unfair, especially to those struggling financially. I think it defeats the purpose of church. Some are unwittingly putting burdens on people and enslaving them in the name of doctrine. They are undoing what Christ did for us for free, and putting back loads to replace the ones Jesus removed. Moderation in all things is key. Love and compassion for people, the sheep, is paramount.
DeleteLet's think globally for once. Wetin una say make I wear go church inside cold cold winter? Skirt? God has given us common sense and conscience. So, dressing should be based on different factors like location, culture, weather, personal convictions etc
ReplyDeleteI wear what I feel comfortable in to church...jean trouser, jumpsuit,senator top n trouser(native) etc I wear them in a Modest way...don't reveal anything. I hate being limited/conformed to a particular dressing...I am of the opinion that pple should be allowed to wear what they want in as much as they are decently dressed and not revealing...
ReplyDeleteSame goes to head ties/head gears...oh pls let me be. I don't really like anything covering my hair/head...it has been like that right from my babyhood. I flung anything placed on my head then😂
For me, I think anything that's not revealing, too skin tight and you're comfortable in is okay. Anything that doesn't scream how much of an attention seeker you are.
ReplyDeleteI do wear trousers to church and I'm more comfortable in it than skirts or knee length gowns. And I know some people don't approve of it so anything that suits you well but don't scream attention is a go😊
I feel dressing for the occasion is a good thing too. You can't dress for a club and then head to the church cos deep inside you, you know that you can't put on toe length flowing gown to the club. Being fashionable is when you dress appropriately for the occasion you're attending.
ReplyDeleteGuys that put on earrings, I don't even think that's a thing. I don't see any bad in it.
Decency is key, wear what you won't cover with your hands or handkerchief.
ReplyDelete
