Women ministry VI

Proverbs 19:20 Gossip betrays confidence (NIV).

Women as we have seen are important in ministry but there is something important to caution women about. In his writings, Paul cautions women about particular things and thus it would be unfair to state only the good things without mentioning these powerful principles that can help women excel. 

Paul writes to Timothy and advises him even to avoid silly fables or rumours. Dear woman reading this, if you want to be celebrated as a mother or mighty woman of God, avoid silly fables and gossip. If you are caught up in it, people’s confidence in you will disappear just like our theme scripture has stated. On the other hand it is hard to find a man in gossip. Incase you do that is very rare.

Secondly, avoid quarrels between yourselves like Paul admonished Euodias and Syntyche. Perhaps they had a quarrel and needed to settle out differences. The devil also knows that when powerful women in the Lord agree, mighty things will happen in the church hence don't give him any place.

Further scriptures 

1 Timothy 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness.

Phillipians 4:2 'I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord'

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....

Jesus, the reason for the season

Image
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Jesus is the reason for the season we are in. He is the gift of God unto men. Who on earth does not like gifts and who on earth can reject the Gift of all gifts, moreover given by God Himself? Jesus cannot be rejected because He is love, He is Grace, He is Life and Truth.  In case you doubt His claims you cannot argue with everything that happens in this season. It's evidence that His claims are true. All the jubilations around worldwide and around town are because He is the joy to the world, the decorations all over the place are because He is the Light of the world, the endless traffic jams, people arm twisting themselves in the bus parks fighting for a seat in the bus to head back to the villages, the commotion in the business centre as everyone wants to grab...
