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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
