Course 122: Women in Ministry - Lesson #6
Constraints to women in ministry
There are many constraints to women ministry which are worthy of consideration. The key ones can be broadly summed up as follows:
1. Opposition by Satan, the arch foe of womanhood
It is evident from the account of the fall of man in Genesis 3 that Satan deliberately targeted Eve because he must have seen a tendency for her to yearn for colourful and exotic things and also act independent of her husband, given by God as a covering. Unfortunately, this weakness has subsisted till today, even among women who are redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb and filled with the Holy Spirit. As it was with Eve, so shall it be with any woman in ministry whose soul yearns for things that are "forbidden". The Lord makes it clear from a careful comparison of these scriptures that Satan has a central strategy of making saints to miss God by offering them what they can see, smell, desire and be special: Genesis 3:1-6(Temptation of Adam & Eve); Matthew 4: 1- 11(Temptation of Jesus) and 1 John 2: 15-17( the core tools Satan uses to tempt saints). That is why the charge to be separate from the world and its attractions/dainties must be taken seriously by any woman or man who wants to serve God and His saints acceptably. 2 Corinthians 6: 14 - 18; Revelation 18:4.
It is the role of every woman in ministry to guard her heart least Satan tugs it away from a God centred pose. What to eat, what to wear and look special, what perfume to spray on, what will make heads turn and cause men to grovel has always been a chief strategy of Satan to unhook the hearts of women in ministry away from Christ. When a woman of God begins to look to Hollywood for her dress sense; when a woman of God begins to be overly concerned with impression she will make on television audiences and those who will watch the video, her heart inclination can focus more on what to wear and how to make up so much so that waiting on the Lord to receive a fresh word for the people becomes a secondary consideration. Because the anointing of God is without repentance and the name of Jesus has power in itself to deliver miracles, such a backslider in heart can still manifest the Charismatic gifts, even though her heart is far away! Prating over the stage, showing off her figure and becoming, so to say, a "superstar" may cause such a minister to turn aside into vain jangling.

Course 122: Women in Ministry - Lesson #5:
For the hard of hearing: The Order of Melchisedek replaced The Levitical Order!
For the hard of hearing, a recap of what we have downloaded so far will not hurt. The sum of the thesis so far is this: the Old Levitical priesthood which was essentially an exclusive caste limited to the sons of Aaron was valid only as far as the Old Covenant went. The Old Covenant was a shadow of better things to come. When Christ Jesus, the reality of all the types, symbols and shadows of the old order came to earth, He was anointed to fulfil them in every respect! As He fulfilled the righteous demand of the Law concerning sin, it was meet that He be the Lamb of God on who the sins of the whole world from Adam to the very last generation was cast upon.
In Him is the only valid life acceptable to God. As He instituted the Communion and decreed its regular performance, He announced the New Covenant in His own blood. That New Covenant was not just based on better promises; it was to be mediated by a new priesthood. The writer of the Book of Hebrews took time in an extensive stretch of the Holy Writ to show that Jesus was not qualified under the Old Covenant to be a priest since He was born of the tribe of Judah. So Jesus became a priest, not after the Levitical order but after the Order of Melchisedek. See Hebrews chapters 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
The Order of Melchisedek was a priesthood made in heaven. It was a priesthood based entirely on divine election, publicly confirmed by the anointing of the Holy Spirit that came upon Him at the baptism of John in River Jordan. This new priesthood was passed on to, not just to the 12(save Judas Iscariot) but also to all of the 120 who gathered in obedience for the same anointing of the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room at Jerusalem. With those original 120 saints and all those who received Him and yielded themselves to Him to use them since then, the Kingdom of God is being preached by those who, like Jesus Christ, have become priests after the Order of Melchisedek. We are all part of the Royal Priesthood inherited who are sons of the King, neither male nor female! Hebrews chapters 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Course 122: Women in Ministry - Lesson #4:
What is the biblical basis of women to function in ministry?
Having laid this foundation, we now need to come into the core of the subject matter. This, we shall do straightaway, trusting God for His will to be expressly stated. A systematic exposition of the Word will reveal the following:
- There is no biblical basis for the age old concept that women are inherently inferior to men. The notion that the woman was an afterthought of God flies in the face of a true understanding of the intent and purpose of God. It is necessary to go back to Genesis chapter 1: 26 - 29 which defines why God created mankind. We see there that:
- Genesis 1:27 indicates that God clearly had the male and female gender in view when He decided to create mankind.
- The dominion mandate of man was over all the creation such as animals, plants, fishes and the environment was equally given to male and female.
- Mankind was to be fruitful, reproduce and fill the earth. Since the male cannot reproduce alone neither are the created beings allowed to cross breed, God had to create the woman out of the man. Genesis 2 18 - 21.
- The process of creating the woman showed additional skill and care on the part of God to bring forth additional refinement in the woman that emerged. Rather than create the woman out of raw earth, she was made as a refinement from the rough hewn Adam. This accounts for why women tend to have greater sensitivity to things of the spirit and thus flow easier in the prophetic realm. Genesis 2: 21, 22.

I celebrate the Joy of my salvation when the Word of Truth, Wisdom and Understanding is released in this manner! Blessings, expansion and ABUNDANCE to you Apostle George as you see full manifestation of every promise given to you from the Lord of Hosts! Every righteous desire shall come to fruition without delay or opposition! Your enemies will serve you with dread and terror because of the SEAL OF ADOPTION that rests upon your head to walk upon high places that are only preserved for those end time Ambassadors with keys to access all dimensions for our Creator and KING - JESUS!!"
