I completely understand where you’re coming from. I had the same conviction. I wore pretty short and revealing clothing. And same as you, it wasn’t to intentionally attract anyone or cause anyone to lust after me. It was simply my expression through fashion and how I liked to look. I grew up with low confidence and as the years went by, I used fashion to boost my confidence and it worked tremendously. I would get compliments on how well I paired things together and was so big on trends too. So the Holy spirit came for your girl, showed me that my confidence directly linked to how I dressed and how I identified myself in that and Jesus wasn’t in that equation at all. How does this glory the Lord? 😅 it was my selfish desire that was rooted in a deeper issue that needed to be addressed. If it wasn’t fashion then I’d probably find something else in the world to hang on to for my confidence. I didn’t change right away, as stubborn as I was I kept it at the back of my mind. If I covered up, I didn’t feel right and I didn’t want that. As my intimacy with the Lord grew, I just stopped having the desire for trendy fashion and revealing clothing. I slowly picked up more modest items that I was starting to genuinely love. Still cute, fashionable and stylish and I loved it more than my previous dress style 😂 I eventually decided to be obedient and listen and a lot has been revealed to me about myself. my confidence is so much better now, it had nothing to do with my clothes. How I viewed myself changed and my heart posture has definitely changed for the better 😊

@Cassandra ....Actually subscribed to your channel because of this comment❤
This is beautiful... Cheers to growth.
Beautiful!!!
Amen!
“How much can I please God!” instead of “How far can I go?”
This is just the message that I need because I also struggle with this ‘dressing’ part of my Christianity.
God bless you, dear Uzoma❤
thanks for watching Maryann🥰
Omo tbh, most of these brands don't make clothes for Christians. I have to literally LOOK for clothes that the HolySpirit will let me wear lol. I make my clothes too sometimes.
Before I step out, I usually ask Him, "do you like what I'm wearing?" And he replies every single time. I never used to think certain clothes were immodest, until the HolySpirit started really schooling me on consecration. The world doesnt make it easy to follow the ways of God. They start to actually blend these things into culture and make it seem like immodest dressing is actually modest. Its really not easy to conform to the way God wants me to dress up, but I've noticed that the more I do it, the easier it becomes. I can boldly say my wardrobe looks way more sanctified than it used to😅
Thank you for this, Uzoma. Was nice hearing a fellow young person like me talk about such a touchey topic with modern day Christian women.
this is amazing!! you make your clothes? wow how does it feel to be God’s favourite?😂
God bless you and continue to strengthen you to do what He would have you do!
Uzoma, thank you for this video. It’s so relatable and I pray you never compromise on your convictions in Christ. ❤️
Hi Obanijesu, thank you so much for watching, amennn to that prayer!
I had some of the same convictions too.
1. How I dressed inside my house - A T-shirt with no bra and a short pants.
2. Not to keep on my sleepwear in my house or outside in the yard. - people are watching even when you think they aren't
3. Stop wearing tight jeans or tops - I don't usually wear revealing clothes but they are sometimes tight.
4. Stop wearing short pants and get rid of all other clothes. - It feels like he is drawing me more to flowy dresses, tops and skirts (I was always a pants person and not so girly girl)
5. Stop bleaching my hair + wanting to try bright FUN colors - now it's my natural hair color and cut into a bob.
6. Remove some of my peircings in my ears. - He removed the desire to get more
7. It's okay to get your hair and toes done but don't make that the focus - i'm very simple and don't usually do much for myself but when I do I sometimes I don't how to act.
Those are a few that I can think of right now. It is a struggle especially when you want to be stubborn🤦🏽♀️ .
The most important thing is a heart change then everything else will "willingly" flow😊
I also came of all social media platforms it was becoming toxic for me and my metal health. I thought I couldn't do without it but I did and I still am, I only use whatsapp and have youtube. Life has been very freeing since then and invested more into my hobbies and reading which I actually didn't like (well atleast I thought I didn't😅)
Wow.... God Bless Sis 💗
❤❤
I honestly love how the Holy spirit works, and what you said about "how much can I please God with this" and no longer about "how far can I go", that just did it for me, thanks Girl❤️
I voted for this installment on the poll you posted! 🤭 I loved it. I voted for it because I'm going through the same transformation and hearing other Holy Spirit filled Christians talk about it really helps me alot. Thank you for this video, and that revelation of that scripture. Brought a new light.
aw! i'm so glad you loved it. Glory to God!
I was literally just telling my Aunt about you, and then I open UA-cam and see your video, so proud of you girliee!! Keep shining, this is your time!!
thank you my love!!
Thank you for this video a lot of young Christians need to watch this. I was literally thinking about this with last month and sharing now
Wow this is good ❤
I love the emphasis on our hearts being transformed and the verse you read. Beauty (oneness with the Spirit) is first and foremost within and with time it flows outwardly and reflects on the outside.
Love you girl ❤
love u sis!
Just came along your page and I love ittttttt🥺🥺 you give me so much hope that I'm not being dramatic about wanting to become celibate
Thank you for keeping it real without the need to sound holier than thou. I didn't know how much I needed this video. ❤
Girlll, we lived similar lives look!
I remember when I started taking my walk more seriously and days will come where me and the HS will be doing who's voice is the loudest because I be like why are you interested in me trying to look cute??? it was not giving for me cause I felt it was pure hate but now I know better and God is indeed merciful. I love how you buttressed the point that it is not just about the clothing in and itself but the heart behind it and your inheritance in christ which is to be righteous , and this includes every aspect of your life. We as Christians tend to try to play safe by saying "how far is far?" or "how short is short?"
The bible clearly states flee all apperance of evil not just evil but the appearance itself. As believers we are called to live righteous and not just to avoid only "certain sin" so next time you find yourself in such situation; do not ask ''is this a sin?" rather Does this please God?
so so good!
The part about being stubborn for a long time on having to change was real😩 I think I learned it’s not about the length or just the clothes being covering itself it truly is about the heart! And remembering who God is as a Father who loves us we have to know his commands are not to condemn us but to protect us.
you said it all!
I just love your vibe and how you speak about your conviction on modesty. I am an advocate of modesty and I also discuss that on my channel as well.
It's beautiful to see how you talk about Faith and Modesty as a young woman.
God bless you gurl
thanks for stopping by love! God bless uu
Wow!!! God really does moves in mysterious ways. Not to long ago, I was praying and the holy spirit made me notice things about myself that I’ve never put any thoughts. One of the things was exactly “modesty and how my desire to express myself through fashion affected others and did NOT glorified God”. I’m still working on it, especially in terms of posting certain types of pictures on Instagram. It’s exactly like you said it, certain poses and looks are just not appropriate for Christians and they have to be eliminated.
the Spirit is 1!!
thanks for watching girl❤️
Being stubborn and disobedient is honestly one of the problem I battle with like I would sit there and ask questions because I don't want to change or I am trying to denying something 😂😂😂
Still praying to God for a change of heart regarding this attitude
Love the transparency🥰. It really just shows us the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. It’s beyond the clothes itself! But essentially how much of our own desires are we willing to give up/change to follow Christ.
Thank you so much for your video. God bless you for sharing.
as a guy i dont see why its that hard to dress for other people, because men usually dont like exposing body parts and also we are supposed to bring people to Christ, so if you cant preach to everyone we see vocally. we can do so with our clothes and character.
This video was so needed, I can relate to this so much. The Holy Spirit rly is working on n thru you, God Bless you for allowing Him to use you and speak on these topics. I love the way you approach it, sending lots of love n prayers for your channel as a new subscriber💕
Thank you for being vulnerable with us.
What really stuck with me is "how much can I please God and not how far can I go?"
It's very simple but yet very profound. Thank you for yielding.
thanks for watching Deborah🥰
This is beautiful ❤️. Please can you do videos too on how to be girly, dress nice even while pleasing God
absolutely love how candid you are about these topics!
thanks for stopping by🥰
Uzoma, this was timely and needed. Thank you for sharing. Personally, I have been on this modesty journey for a long time, and I have even given out some of my clothes because of my convictions . One way the Lord taught me how to dress was calling me out through a friend and also showing me the thoughts that go through the mind of people when they see me, and that has really helped me grow.
Yess, the clothes they make now, barely have any material lol. Just vibes.
literally😂😂
Hey Uzoma, I just recently started watching your videos. I really love this video and I can 1000% relate. I was told off by family members and one thing that put me off was the delivery of the message. I wasn’t even trying to dress for anyone or for a trend . I was simply just trying to be comfortable and being a bustier girl can definitely be agitating because it makes it feel like the whole dressing thing is subjective, which it is but I didn’t want to know that at the time.The Holy Spirit eventually did speak to me about my dressing. But one of the things that made me change was the people I was attracting, abd I knew I didn’t want to attract the kind of men that only wanted me from lust. I still do feel like if a man wants to look he will but I think it’s safer to be on the side of Holy Spirit than feeling convicted and uncomfortable
the way i felt this, it’s sooo annoying when this happens! and yes i agree with you on that second part! thanks for watching girl🥰
bro heavy on that Instagram aspect 😭 the day I got slapped w the conviction about some of my posts was a humbling day
guyyy, we think were being slick with all those poses but omo the Holy Spirit said no more dear 😭
Thank you so much for sharing, I have had this feeling for a while now that I shouldn't wear certain clothes anymore and I felt maybe something was wrong with me, but with this I have gained clarity. Thank you for your Honesty, God Bless You
Just found your channel, and it’s such a breath of fresh air! I’ve been binging, your channel dey carry me where I no know 😂😂😂
LOOL
omg welcome to the gangg!🥰🥰
lovely put together, as you said modesty doesn't mean turtle neck long skirt and boots to show that you're modest but it's more of a heart thing. For me I am really "thick" and so things that may look "ok" on other may look too tight, or portray what its not, even something as ordinary and jeans. Ofc some outfits are totally out of it in my opinion( the extra short shorts, etc) I also shopped a lot on IAMGIA not knowing God was going to transform my dressing style so I had to sell most of my stuff. Now, I just look on IG if I see something I like and it's tagged then I will look at the shop. I have little to no boobs and a month ago I was getting ready to go out with my tank top and the Holy Spirit asked me to wear a bra and I replied" but I have no boobs so why would I wear a bra and I am not dressing for people to see my boobs" but I had to obey. I told the story because I didn't think it was wrong to not wear a bra since I am flat chested but the Holy Spirit convicted me on that.
Am I still going to wear shorts yes but there's a limit to the shortness of the shorts, dress, skirts etc, I also ask God if he likes how I look before stepping out
mehn the struggle is real, but i thank God for your ability to hear him properly and yield, may He strengthen you to continue!❤️
Hi Uzoma, as a "baby Christian" I would say my will to wear what I want is one thing I'm scared to give up. I haven't started exploring my style but i'm scared that when I do, I wont be able wear what I like. I know I signed up for this when I chose to lay down my life but its still a bit scary.
hey Betty, this is totally understandable i think as you continue with God on this journey, you’ll find that your desire for certain things would pale in comparison to your desire to please Him and be what He wants you to be. Take it slow, take it one day at a time, just continue to read His word, and continue to do what He says, you can do it!
So for me, I was brought up wearing “long skirts and turtle necks “ and I hated it honestly.
As soon as I had the chance to pick dresses that were “in Vogue “ I jumped at it. After I gave my life to Christ, I realized that my dress had to please God. I struggled yeah but then I'm finally at peace with it.
As you said, “tear tear” clothes irk me too😂
It's funny how I was in love with them before.
Thank you for sharing your journey, Uzoma.
Awww… it’s your pure love for me.❤️🫶🏽
Uzoma I completely agree with you on this one! May the light and fire of God in you keep shining and burning ❤
Go girl🎉
amennn, God bless you Julie❤️
Lihle here. Girl I just like you and your content. You are so realistic
thanks girl🥰
Aah sis thank you for making this video ! I felt like I was watching myself with the whole being obedient for others.
so glad you found it helpful 🤍
While watching your video I became extremely convicted to cancel the order I just placed 10min ago. And it’s similar to what you said the clothing was not bad, or revealing, but something was just off. I may not understand why, but as you said we are not lords of our lives. Thank you for letting God use you 🫶🏾🤍
wow! glory to Jesus, may He guide you on what to wear from now on, well done for obeying Him🤍🤍🤍
Realll talk! It's definitely a journey for everyone, I think what you said is spot on
I shop from asos, boohoo, Nigerian brands etc.
Love to hear your story, Uzoma! ❤
thanks so much Jamsss
I really am in love with this video am a busty girl so fashion and dressing has been a nightmare. Would really love to learn more.❣️❣️❣️
thanks for watching Josephine 🥰
Here to just say I love you and the contents you put out. God bless you❤️.
Thank you Uzoma for being sincere with your Christian journey. You are an amazing Christian sister and I pray you keep up with the good work😊
thanks for your sweet comment love x
Thank you, Uzoma for sharing. Most time I wear most clothes because I feel good not necessarily to get anybody's attention. But I think I will have to be intentional about the whole dressing to please God if that makes sense.
yess absolutely that makes sense, may God help us❤️
Hi Uzoma, followed your videos recently and subscribed, im glad i did. I love how to portray christianity as a Gen z.
Thank you for this videos they are edifying.
Girl! Tell me about it. Can definitely relate to being “strong headed” and asking God to help with being submissive.
❤❤❤ Hey girlir im doing well it was last year too where I truly had a heart shift on my modesty too and how I appear as a women after God’s own heart. Im so happy more of us are growing in our modesty journey!!
thanks for watching Kay!
i’m so proud of you!
Thank you so muchhh my love!! And of course I love your content 🥰🥰🥰
Honestly so excited for this video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hallelujah 😄😄😄✨ Amazing Testimony 😊☺️☺️
God bless you for this video I really enjoyed this, lately I found myself being convicted by the Holy Spirit about how I dress and I’m Just trying to find a balance and make sure that my heart is in the right place and also trying not to feel like I have to dress the way other people dress.
Lastly I feel like modesty is a personal thing cause what might work for one person won’t work for me, ultimately I just have to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit cause He’ll always let me know when I’m not on the right path.
This video is really related to me,although I do not dress overtly revealing nor am I comfortable with wearing short or skimpy outfits,I realised I connected my identity to how I look and not Jesus Christ and Christ is also working on me,I have such a big heart issue.
So glad I found your channel ❤🥹

The journey of modesty in dressing is not an easy one... ain't gon' lie. But that's where we need God's help because with all the prezzaaa coming from the fashion industry, all i can say is Omo!
loveeeeee this, God bless you for sharing 😘

Also these are the words of God, do not use make up, do not wear mens clothing (trousers etc) , do not fix hair attachments of any kind not even rubber hair.
❤❤❤ Heyy girlie
Thanks
Can you share some tips on how you change your wardrobe and what helped you
i just made sure to not buy things that i may find questionable in certain environments, i also ask my trusted friends what they think of my outfits if i’m doubting, most importantly i try my best to yield to the Holy Spirits nudges
It is so hard to find proper clothes now like omg what happened 😢😢
Too stubborn for someone that is calling someone else their lord, that got me 😣
So hard to find modest dresses these days😢 pls give suggestions if you have
Where do you shoppppp, finding cute/really beautiful modest clothes is hardddd
Having to deny oneself is one of the hardest thing to do no to talk about when it is something you have been doing and now one to change or deny yourself of that thing, lol your heart mind and body will fight so hard but that is where christ comes in, because even when my own strength fails me, I know my God is with me and he strength will carry me on ❤❤❤ very deep conversation 🙏🙏
no lies told!
thanks for watching love x
World*
We have a mole ❤at the same spot
