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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
