There are charmisac people, including preachers, who by their appeal draw people to themselves and not to Jesus. This is the problem with the charismatic movement including those who lead megachurches. Those who are not careful to use their gifts to point to Jesus are actually enemies of Jesus and wage war against Him using His tools.
In the Bible, the word "covering" means to submit to another. That is why women would cover their heads, because it was an outward sign to others that she belongs to another. In the same way, we need to present ourselves as ones who belong to another. It is not wrong to have appeal so long as it works for the glory of Jesus.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, let us know right from wrong in the way we present ourselves in daily life. Teach us by Your Spirit to be magnets, but not for the purposes of bringing attention to ourselves, but to lead others to You. Help us in this task we pray Amen.
