GOD USES WHOM HE CHOOSES
Today many are most upset that God has in His wisdom chosen to use women
to carry out His will when men have blatantly failed to do so.
The reality is that as the Eternal is the sovereign Creator of all life,
He is fully entitled to use absolutely any part of His creation in any way He
desires.
We know that He spoke to a big fish to carry out His will and snatch Jonah from
certain death by drowning, so that Jonah could carry out His will.
We know that the Eternal opened the mouth of Balaam’s ass to carry out His will.
We know that the Eternal made a mere 7 year old child the King over Israel
We know that Deborah was not only the ruler of Israel but also a prophetess.
1 Corinthians 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches:
for it is not permitted unto them to speak;
but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also says the law.
This verse is the one that is used to say that women speaking in churches is
wrong.
It certainly has raised a hornet’s nest.
The men would like to carry on their lackadaisical lifestyle as their very
church
disintegrates around them, they continue to major in minors and ignore advice
which could literally save their physical and spiritual lives.
As we have said previously in an ideal world men would carry out their God given
roles
in love and not treat women as tools to be used.
However, we are not in an ideal world and at the end of the age anyone will be
used
to carry out the end time commission. If people fail, then stones would be
raised up to carry
out the will of the Eternal. What is certain is that if He used stones,
He will not have the almost total rebellion
which now exists by those who claim to be His people.
Let your women keep silence was written to the church in Corinth.
It is worth understanding some of the historical facts about Corinth.
It is about 48 miles west of Athens, in Greece.
It was noted for its wealth, and for the luxurious and immoral
and vicious habits of the people.
It had a large mixed population of Romans, Greeks, and Jews
The church is a community an organism, which is inter-related.
Acts parallels Jewish life in the community in the synagogue.
This had many people with many gifts and abilities who were elected to positions
of leadership, as anointed by God. They were functions of the community not
ecclesiastical church offices. They filled a need. All should be thought of as
servants
not as leaders. Their primary function was to equip the members of the church.
Ephesians 4
The Question for you is you might well have been called to be used,
but have you been chosen?
Did you reject the call after carefully considering it, as women might
have some part in this End Time work?
The only way out of this dilemma is Jesus Christ.
He is the only way of escape.
Praise the Lord.
Come soon Lord Jesus.
Amen.
