TOPIC: WOMAN, RESPECT MEN’S AUTHORITY OVER YOU IN MINISTRY. MONDAY AUGUST 21
TEXT: Numbers 12:1-10
KEY VERSE: Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Psalm 105:15.
Miriam was rebuked by God for playing down on the position of Moses, the leader God had appointed over Israel. From the reading text, we could see that God gave Miriam a ministry but she wanted to usurp authority over Moses and God would not take that.
She along with Aaron had complained in Numbers 12: 1-2:
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath He not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
Miriam wanted to terrorize or intimidate Moses, may be, because she was the elder sister. Not in matters of God! God’s judgment was instant and fierce.
9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and He departed.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
In creation, God put the woman under a man. The man was made the head of the woman. This authority is glaring in every respect in human society. It is so in marriage and family settings. The females in a family recognise the headship or leadership of the male among them when he comes of age. The society recognises his authority and representation over the family above any female in the family. His elderly and younger sisters willingly submit to his authority and family headship. This is naturally expected of them by the society.
God gives ministry to Christian women. But he expects them to give respect to men in the church. He will not take it lightly when a woman disrespects the men and behaves unruly among them. If the Christian woman can be humble, meek and holy she will go to any length in her Christian ministry, according to the calling and grace of God upon her. Eternal life will be her possession.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
SONG FOR THE DAY: Where He leads me I will follow…
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 119:1-48; 1Corinthians 3

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
