TOPIC:  SERVICE IN HUMILITY: THE EXAMPLE OF DEBORAH.  SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 24
TEXT:  Judges 5:1-7           
KEY VERSE: “Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.” Judges 5:12.

The children of Israel had backslidden and the Lord sold them to the hand of king Jabin and the man oppressed them for twenty years. The highway was deserted. The men were so afraid that they stopped walking openly for fear of attack of the enemies. In their fear and weakness, none of the men was courageous to lead the people to righteousness and victory. God gave a ministry to Deborah at this time. She sang in anticipation of victory.

Deborah, a woman, became the judge of Israel. That is, she made the people to know the righteous ways of God and showed them how to live in the fear of God. She was a prophetess. She delivered, preached and taught the Word of God to His people. The account of her ministry and dealing showed clearly that she did not usurp the authority of man. She recognised the leadership or headship of men over the women.

By inspiration she called for a man to take the lead against the enemy. Note here that men recognised her divine authority in ministry and submitted to it. The matter is not who is in ministry, but whom has God placed His grace and anointing on. Deborah displayed humility and meekness, recognising the place of man in her ministry. There was no abuse of power or disrespect for men. Her service and leadership was accepted happily and she accomplished her ministry to the glory of God. Deborah was a married woman who played her role well with her husband, according her love, submission, obedience and service as a wife. This is good in the sight of God.

Where men failed due to fear and cowardice, the women rise up as helpmate. Where darkness falls upon men, the light in the women shines bright. Let the woman deal gently with the men. Though the Lord has given her the calling and grace for ministry, she should exercise shamefacedness and sobriety, humility and meekness when handling or dealing with the men.

Thought for the day:   Let the woman exercise humility and meekness when handling ordealing with the men.
Song for the day: Create in me a clean heart O Lord, and renew a right spirit within me.
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 1-3; Galatians 2

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...

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...

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...
