Kingdom Fashion Revolution
The world has reduced fashion to a physical appearance and markets new looks and styles at neck breaking speeds. Some of the large fast fashion brands release new collections on a weekly basis. It’s a strategy that the world has used successfully to keep people ignorant of the true expression of their fashion.
Fashion is a powerful tool that God gave us to express our divine identity as we go about fulfilling our purpose. Where identity and purpose is not known, then the enemy takes advantage to sow confusion and all manner of evil.
Fashion is spiritual; the image and likeness of God – which is Christ in you – restored to us through salvation is the core of our fashion. When we’re ignorant of this fact, then all else is applied cosmetics that gives a temporary look.
All the confusion witnessed in the world in the forms of gender dysphoria (LGBTQI+), Gender Based Violence (GBV), prostitution, pornography, some forms of mental illness, bullying, pride, and many others are a manifestation of spiritual nakedness. That’s why for those who’re born again, the Bible says to put on Christ (Romans 13:14, Galatians 3:27).
Fashion is a powerful tool that Christians who are called into this industry can use to cause a Kingdom Revolution and reconcile men back to God. Fashion is directly tied to identity and purpose. This fact is more obvious in nature where identity and purpose of all creation is intricately weaved into their fashion.
Now is the time for a Kingdom Fashion Revolution; to demonstrate the full expression of fashion as God intended and envisioned. The world has no capacity nor ability to restore divine identity and purpose, but we have Christ and God has committed to us the ministry of reconciliation.
Evangelism
Evangelism is made easy when you meet somebody’s need. Everybody has need to dress up and it’s in these moments of interaction with your customer that you take the opportunity to minister the gospel to them. Fashion offers you the opportunity to start a conversation on your customer’s fashion style, taste, influences, identity and purpose.
Think about how Jesus ministered to various people, for example, the Samaritan woman at the well, Peter when they had fished the whole night and caught nothing and Zacchaeus the tax collector.
Miracles
When a person gets healed, delivered from demonic oppression, raised from the dead, etc. It is their fashion being restored. There’s no fashion sense for the sick, oppressed and dead. This is the work of ministry that Christians who are called into the fashion industry are supposed to do (Mark 16:15-18).
Overcoming Limitations
There are limitless opportunities available through fashion to overcome the physical limitations of life in the earth. When you understand that fashion is spiritual, then you’ll be able to release the potential (fashion) of your spirit man to influence your physical fashion. This is how Philip after ministering to the Ethiopian eunuch was able to translocate by the Holy Spirit to a different location in the blink of an eye.
The Promises
Jesus promised that greater things than what He did we shall do (John 14:12), and God also says that He will reveal to us things that no man has seen, heard or imagined, things which He has prepared for those that love Him (1 Corinthians 2:9). We also know that all the promises of God are yes and amen in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20).
All we have to do is believe and respond accordingly, after all, it is still God who is at work in us both to will and to do according to His pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
