EXPLANATION OF ‘I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH’   THURSDAY DECEMBER 21
TEXT: 1TIMOTHY 2:11-15
Key Verse: “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and He is the Saviourof the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.” Eph 5:23-24
The above passage forbidding the woman to teach the word of God and commanding her to learn in silence is not absolute and unconditional. The woman has the right to prophesy: speak to others for their edification, exhortation and comfort, Joel 2:28-29. She is authorized to preach the gospel as a disciple of Jesus within and outside the church all over the world, Mark 16:15,20. Preaching overlaps with teaching. The Christian woman has the authority to teach people to observe all things the Lord has commanded in the scripture. In Tit 2:4, the woman is specifically commanded to “teach the young women” on issues of righteousness and holiness.
The passage “I suffer not a woman to teach” is analyzed as: 1. Let the woman learn in silence 2. Let the woman be with all subjection 3. I do not allow the woman to teach 4. I do not allow the woman to usurp authority over the man 5. But she is to be in silence 6. Adam was formed before Eve 7. Adam was not deceived 8. The woman was deceived 9. She brought the sin on Adam (This was why God allowed suffering in childbearing in Gen 3:16) 10. However, she shall be saved in childbearing 11. Let them continue in faith, charity, holiness and sobriety. Therefore, seek the correct interpretation of the scripture to avoid destruction.
If the woman is free to preach to men, she is also free to teach men. The scripture does not limit her teaching ministry to women only. Therefore, we should not forbid the woman to teach children or youth, especially the males. Whatever a man does, his wife should follow and help him. The scripture says that God made the woman a suitable helper for man
Thought for the day: Study the word of God that you may rightly divide the word of truth.
Song for the day: Must I go, and empty-handed? Must I meet my Saviour so?…
Bible reading for the day:
Micah 6-7; Revelation 12

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be

VIRTUOUS WOMEN FOR END TIME REVIVAL SATURDAY APRIL 29 TEXT: John 4: 39-42 Key Verse: “And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God” Ruth 1: 16 When the Lord shall come He shall gather the wheat but the tares shall be cut down and cast into the lake of fire, God is looking for some wheat to use.
