How I Learnt From God That He Intends All Males To Grow Beards


Here is my Story!

Today is Sunday, June 19th.

Current Time is 7:30 AM.

I’ve been writing a new article for MR KOACHMAN blog all through Saturday night till early hours of this morning. I’m pretty exhausted, so I decided not to attend church service this morning, rather I wanted to go to bed, and try to get enough rest.

And, maybe later in the evening, I would head to the barber salon to have my routine haircut in preparation for the new week which starts tomorrow.

I initially thought the Devil was at work, I mean…how can I miss Sunday service for the 3rd time in a row this month? It pricked my conscience as I thought about my decision, but I never knew God had a different plan for me today.

Fast forward to 4:00 pm, I was finally up from the bed – refreshed but bored.

So I took my bath, dressed up and drove off to church for the 5 PM evening service [last service for the day]. I got into the church a few minutes after 5pm. The sermon had started and bordered on the teachings of the Old Testament with reference from –The Book of Leviticus.

Hardly do I hear old testament teachings these days in church, and frankly I believe most of the teachings do not apply to the modern world we live in these days [My Thoughts only] so I wasn’t so interested in the sermon, and so I used the opportunity to just browse through other chapters from the Book of the Old Testament which the priest was preaching from…and behold I found something really interesting in Leviticus 19:27.

Wait for it….I’ll share that with you in a bit…

At the end of the service…

Current Time is 6:05 PM.

I left the church at the end of the 1-hour service and started heading back home – to my barbing salon within my estate to have my routine once-a-week “beard grooming session” – I call it that because the concentration is usually on the beard.

Considering that I’m bald and bearded, it usually takes just about 10-15 minutes to wrap up my hair cut [clean shaven] and another 30 – 45 minutes to “pamper and groom” my luxurious beards.

How I learnt from God Why He Wants Us To Grow Beards

 

As I drove back from the church, I couldn’t help but ponder on the verse of the Bible which I found while in church earlier. I’ve never seen that verse –Leviticus 19:27 in the Bible ever before – how come no one has preached this in the church in over 3 decades I’ve spent on earth.

• Leviticus 19:27
Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or trim your beard.

It’s my first time of reading this part of the scripture and I was even more filled with joy and gladness when I cross-referenced it with another scripture where King David commanded his people “Remain in Jericho until your beards have grown and then return!”, this was after one King humiliated David’s soldiers by shaving off their “precious” beards.

• 2 Samuel 10:5b
And the king said, “Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown and then return.”


I was glad to find this scripture from the Bible, I considered this a revelation from the Lord God himself. That he wants us to grow beards and maybe he frowns at us clipping off the edges of our beard. And most importantly, for the first time in my life I actually now believe that some Old Testament teachings actually do apply to the modern world we live in these days.

I thought about it in another way, as Christians, we are meant to emulate Jesus Christ in every way we could and we all know that Jesus’ beard is one of the most famous beards ever and should be an inspiration for all of us who grow beards.

None of us could ever die and rise again after 3 days; none of us can actually raise the dead, but one way we can live like Jesus is by growing a full luxurious beard, just as he did.

At the barber salon…for the Grooming service

Current Time is 6:20 PM.

Here is the conversation that took place between me and my barber (Paul).

6:20pm – Paul: “Evening Boss”… he greeted me

6:20pm – Hey Paul, how are you today? I responded, as I sat down on the chair

6:25pm – Paul: I’m alright sir! [As he prepared his barbing tools/equipment to commence the grooming service]

Paul is my favorite barber, he knows my signature hair cut style (clean shaven or completely bald look), however, he usually suggests different beards style and have at one time refused to trim and shape my beards after I asked him to ‘cos he felt it should be left to grow wild for a while before trimming. Until I explained, that I only want to trim it a bit in order not to create a wrong impression at a job interview I had the following day.

6:40pm  – In less than 15 mins, Paul was done with the haircut and moved over to the “beard pampering session” without asking me any question about what I wanted, ‘cos he already knew what beard style would go well with my face shape

7:10pm – Still total silence for the past 30 minutes, as I thought deeply about completing this article when I got home.

7:20pm – Paul was done. “Thank You Paul (as I paid for the grooming service with an extra tip just before leaving the salon)

As I left the barber’s shop, I continued thinking about the bible scriptures. This truly inspired me to once again, to stay awake tonight (for the 2nd night in a row) to complete this piece and share my story with you all.
