...With reference to 1titus 2:11-13 which says (NKJV) 'let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man but to be silent... (some one quoted that)
I am a preacher (cause I preach the word) and have spoken in fellowships and unions. I was the secretary then moved to vice chairperson or chairlady for the school fellowship and the school was co-education. My post meant standing in front of the whole school every Sunday fellowship (which was compulsory for everbody else) and running the executive meetings. When my chairperson was absent, I took his position which was usual cause he was usually caught up but that didn't make much of a difference cause we always equally shared duties.
Currently by His grace, I run a devotion at my university and im also a sunday school teacher. And through that God has encouraged many and many have heard the gospel and even come to Christ. I do not mean to boast ( I will boast only in the Lord!) but I just had to speak out...
I will not let anyone look down on me because I am young or that im female...but if God wants to use me, who am I to say no. Besides isn't it what we all want, to be used by God...
If I was disobeying God's law, I don't think He would have allowed me into all this, I don't think he would have given me the grace to do all this and on top of that answered my prayers everytime I asked Him to help me prepare a message. If I was breaking the law by preaching His word, then I think He would have said so a long time ago!...
If all women sat back and said 'oh we are women, we cant preach in church' then the harvest is going to take forever because the labourers will be badly reduced!!! I think God will accept all the help He can get right now knowing that we don't have much time left...
So if female pastors, preachers and those holding high spiritual positions are demonic because its unbiblical, then there are a lot of us out there. Also then im really impressed that God can use a 'demonic' means to bring people to His kingdom...its just smart.
You know its funny, here we are talking about who should be allowed to preach and who shouldn't...I wish to see a discussion where we will focus on talking about how we should preach or where and when...not which sex should be allowed to do so. #opinion
"Thank you Lord for allowing me to post this." Romans 14:16 "therefore, do not let your good be spoken of as evil."
God bless!!
