TOPIC: LET THE WOMAN NOT USURP THE AUTHORITY OF THE MAN AS HEAD
TEXT: 1 Peter 3:4-6
KEY VERSE: 1Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Adam was formed in creation before Eve. The person who had the dialogue with the serpent was the woman (Genesis 3:1-12). Satan feared he would not succeed in his ploy if he attacked Adam. He found some natural qualities in Eve that favoured his ploy. Bible describes the woman as a weaker vessel (1 Peter 3:7). When Satan engaged her, he got her deceived and inspired to involve Adam in the disobedience; hence, she was responsible for the transgression. The cause being that she was forward. If she had understood and practiced subjection to the man, the fall would not have happened. Man would have withstood Satan. In her ignorance she “usurped” the place of man and collapsed the human race. She suffered the judgment by the decree pronounced upon her child bearing. The Holy Spirit would not allow this scene to be repeated in the church. The woman must be properly checked and supervised so that she does not bring sin into the church of Christ and damn human souls. To usurp authority means to hijack power, to seize authority. It means to stage a coup over the man and take over authority to lead and rule. This is evil.

1Timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. The “teaching” by the woman condemned in this passage carries the same meaning. It is something done contrary to godly authority. It is something done in stubbornness and pride, carrying no grace. It is a service of carnality done in contention and struggle against the man; that which the man is to do which is taken over by the heady woman. The authority of man in the church is hijacked by her. The leadership of the church is hijacked from man and she becomes the commander-in-chief. This must not happen. The woman must put on her shamefacedness and be sober in the church. She must recognize the natural headship of man, the divine headship committed to man and be in all subjection to the leadership of man over the work of God. In the same way, wives must not usurp or hijack the authority of their husbands in the family. Many women do this and ruin their marriage and family. This is an evil the holy Christian woman must avoid.

Thought for the day: Let the woman submit to the authority of the man for it pleases God.
Song for the day: Years I spent in vanity and pride
Bible reading for the day:
Judges 8-9; Luke 8:22-56

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...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
