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

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. 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...
