EXPLANATION OF ‘I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH’   THURSDAY DECEMBER 21
TEXT: 1TIMOTHY 2:11-15
Key Verse: “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and He is the Saviourof the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.” Eph 5:23-24
The above passage forbidding the woman to teach the word of God and commanding her to learn in silence is not absolute and unconditional. The woman has the right to prophesy: speak to others for their edification, exhortation and comfort, Joel 2:28-29. She is authorized to preach the gospel as a disciple of Jesus within and outside the church all over the world, Mark 16:15,20. Preaching overlaps with teaching. The Christian woman has the authority to teach people to observe all things the Lord has commanded in the scripture. In Tit 2:4, the woman is specifically commanded to “teach the young women” on issues of righteousness and holiness.
The passage “I suffer not a woman to teach” is analyzed as: 1. Let the woman learn in silence 2. Let the woman be with all subjection 3. I do not allow the woman to teach 4. I do not allow the woman to usurp authority over the man 5. But she is to be in silence 6. Adam was formed before Eve 7. Adam was not deceived 8. The woman was deceived 9. She brought the sin on Adam (This was why God allowed suffering in childbearing in Gen 3:16) 10. However, she shall be saved in childbearing 11. Let them continue in faith, charity, holiness and sobriety. Therefore, seek the correct interpretation of the scripture to avoid destruction.
If the woman is free to preach to men, she is also free to teach men. The scripture does not limit her teaching ministry to women only. Therefore, we should not forbid the woman to teach children or youth, especially the males. Whatever a man does, his wife should follow and help him. The scripture says that God made the woman a suitable helper for man
Thought for the day: Study the word of God that you may rightly divide the word of truth.
Song for the day: Must I go, and empty-handed? Must I meet my Saviour so?…
Bible reading for the day:
Micah 6-7; Revelation 12

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.

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 ...
