EXPLANATION OF ‘LET THE WOMEN KEEP SILENCE’ SATURDAY OCTOBER 28
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 14:33-40
Key Verse: “And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.”1 Cor 14:35
The following can be discerned from the text above: 1. God is not the Author of confusion but of peace. 2. Let the women keep silence in the church 3. It is not permitted unto them to speak 4. They are commanded to be under obedience as saith also the law 5.If they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home 6. It is a shame for women to speak in the church 7. This is the commandment of God 8. The women should not be forbidden to speak in tongues in the church 9. Let all things be done decently and in order. Considering the scriptural rights God has given the Christian woman to speak, preach, teach and prophesy in the church, we know that it is not in these respects that 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 says the woman should keep silence in the church; It is not permitted unto them to speak; It is a shame for the woman to speak in the church.
The women are therefore authorized to do the following in the church for Christ:
1. Preach the gospel as the disciple of Jesus Christ (Mark 16:15)
2. Teach the word of God to a converts as soul winners (Matthew 28:18-20)
3. Testify of the works of God in their lives and in the lives of others in Christ (Psalm 107:2)
4. Sing in the worship of God in the church (Ephesians 5:19-20)
5. Prophesy: speak to men for their edification, exhortation and comfort (1 Cor 11:5, 14:3, Acts 21:8-9).
These activities involve speaking therefore women have scriptural authority to speak in these respects in the church.
Thought for the day: Only the mouth of the dead is silenced; open your mouth and preach the gospel.
Song for the day: Don’t allow me (3x) Jesus to go empty handed
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 23-24; 2 Timothy 2
