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

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...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
