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

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
