SCRIPTURAL JUSTIFICATION FOR WOMEN MINISTRY.  WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 11
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 12:1-11                                                                                   
Key Verse:“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.” Joel 2:28-30
Preaching, teaching, praying or prophesying by women is justified by God in the following scriptures:-
1.       Women ministry was practiced in the scripture and remains valid till this day (Rom 15:4). The ministry we see godly women engaged in today is of the Holy Ghost, except those of unruly and godless women, which are known by their fruits
2.       God has promised to pour out the Holy Spirit on the women for prophecy and other gifts for ministry in Joel 2:28-29.
3.       The Lord sent baptism of the Holy Ghost upon His sons and daughters to be effective witnesses as preachers, teachers and workers in Acts 1:8.Women also receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost and are to engage in whatever ministry the Lord gives them for human salvation and the establishment of the saints.
4.       The gifts of the Holy Spirit are given for ministry in the body of Christ in 1 Cor 12:1-11. Christian women also enjoy these gifts by which they edify the saints.
5.       In Mark 16:17-20, these things are practically seen among us. All these confirm that the woman has full access to the Christian ministry by the will of God. The Lord Himself works with them to confirm their word with signs following. This serves to justify the ministry.
6.       The instruction of the Lord “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost…” in Matt 28:19-20 does not only involve preaching to sinners but teaching the saints. Since women are included in the Disciples of Christ, they are included in the commission to preach and teach the converts all the word.
If they do this faithfully, they will see the presence and blessings of Jesus in their ministry. Also in this commission is the commandment to baptize the converts in water. Women ministers therefore have the authority of the Lord to baptize converts and also to serve communion.
Thought for the day: God has poured His Holy Spirit upon all flesh for ministry.
Song for the day: Breathe on me (2) Holy Ghost power, breathe on me, yesterday is gone….
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 45-47; Colossians 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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
