TOPIC: THE WOMAN HAS CHRIST’S AUTHORITY TO PREACH. TUESDAY JULY 18

TEXT:     John 4:25–30, 39

KEY VERSE: He that receiveth you receiveth Me, and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me. Matthew 10:40.

Something noticeable in the ministry of the woman in the New Testament is preaching the gospel. The Bible says, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel.” When the Lord commissioned all people to go and preach and evangelise, women were not left out. They were also involved in announcing the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They went out and preached everywhere. Two women preachers appeared prominently in the ministry of Jesus Christ: 

1.       The Woman of Samaria (John 4).  From today’s reading text, we see that the woman of Samaria received the experience of salvation, the next thing she did was to go into evangelism. It happens to everybody that encounters the saving power of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2.4           

2.       Mary Magdalene (John 20: 11 – 17). Mary here, recognized the voice of Jesus and the Lord gave her a commission: “Go to my brethren.” The apostles gathered themselves together to hear her.

Both formally and informally the woman has Christ’s authority to preach. Both in crusade and in church setting the woman has Christ’s authority to preach. The most important thing is the message and not the platform. Every woman should know this and stand before men boldly, but humbly without shivering and declare the message the Lord has given her. The woman committed with a ministry by the Lord should go forth in the name of the Lord and in His authority. The Lord commanded Mary Magdalene “Go to my brethren and say unto them.” This is a ministerial call and commission the Christian woman has received to preach the gospel in all manner, in all platforms, including the pulpit. She is free to use the illustrations and methods that will make people understand her. Mary was commissioned with a message to preach to the brethren in the “church.”

“Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there with them,” and that is a church. The woman can preach there if Christ gives her a message. The message given to Mary Magdalene was not a prophecy in the sense of the gift of prophecy. It was a direct instruction, “Go to my brethren.” His brethren were sitting somewhere. So in the church, the women can preach. The people can sit down and she be there to preach to them, because she has God’s message and authority to do so.  He that receives her receives the Lord and he that rejects her, rejects the Lord who has given her the message and the commission.

Thought for the day:  Boldly proclaim the gospel and bring the lost to Christ.

Song for the day: Go and tell them that Jesus died for the sinful world

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 25-27; Acts 20:17-38
