Women as Preachers and Pastors

Folks have misinterpreted scripture concerning women in ministry, e.g., 1 Corinthians 14:34. Here, Paul was dealing with specific folks with specific issues (Corinth had women who were out of control), hence the use of the word “your” instead of “all.” It’s important to note that many, if not most of the first century churches were started by women, the woman ad the well (John 4) was sent by Jesus to preach to the Samaritans, and Mary Magdalene was the first person to preach the resurrection.

A little story, a Deacon I know back in Crockett, TX had a conversation with one of his daughters that went like this:

“Daddy, God called me to preach.” His reply, “Oh Lawd!”

That night, God took the ol’ Deacon back to his childhood in a dream. On their farm, they had a reliable rooster that would crow on time every day. Well one day, that old rooster up and died.

Now, if you know anything about chickens, you know a good rooster is hard to find. So, during the search for a new rooster, one of the hens jumped up on a fence post and began crowing like the rooster did, and did so until they got another rooster.

The Spirit of the Lord asked Deke if he ever cursed that hen for crowing, and Deke said, “no…”

The Spirit continued, “Then don’t curse your daughter.”

The Deacon’s daughter pastors a thriving church …with her Daddy’s blessings.

True story…

The point is, God calls, God anoints, and God appoints. It is not for man to decide. This is one of those traditions that burdens the body of Christ and needs to be done away with.

The Purpose of the Church

The reason why many “churches” do not have the nature of The Church is because there is a widespread lack of understanding of what The Church really is. First of all, the Church is not a building, a charter, or a gathering of folks. The Church is a living, spiritual and natural being comprised of many members that carry out vital functions.

Contrary to popular belief, she is not a “country club” for the saints or the museum of the “frozen chosen.” When you become a member, you are not simply a number, you are grafted in, as a finger to a hand! The body nourishes each member and the Head, Jesus, gives each member instructions for the work to be performed.

While I’m here, let me hang my hat for a minute…Each member has a UNIQUE function. All of us are not called to preach just like every cell in the body is not called to be the eye. Imagine a body full of eyes…that is a freak of nature! While we’re speaking of the ministry, not everyone is called to preach the same message or preach the same way! We are fearfully and wonderfully designed — individually and expressly — by the Hand of God with a unique purpose to carry out equally unique assignments.

The Greek word for “Church” in Matthew 16:18 is “ekklesia.” It is a word meaning “called out assembly.” More to the point, it is a GOVERNMENTAL word not a RELIGIOUS word! Many folks don’t know this, but the government of Rome called thieir upper legislative assembly theEkklesia. The ancient Greek city-state of Athens called its legislative bodyEkklesia!

Now put this in context…When Jesus said “upon this rock (the truth spoken by Peter) I will build my ekklesia; and the gates of hell will not prevail against it! In other words, what Jesus is saying is upon the truth that He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, He will establish His everlasting government!  This is what was prophesied in Isaiah 9:6.

Jesus did not come to establish another religion; the world had (and has) enough of them. What he came to re-establish was the governmental order that was ordained from the foundation of time!

That said, the Church is not about religion. The Church is the point where God connects with man through Christ. It is God’s government, duly deputized and empowered to take over the earth! Church should be an ER for the wounded, a kitchen for the hungry and a sanctuary for the besieged. It should be the point where God’s Heavenly Government is dispensed on the earth! It should be the place where the lost catch the revelation of a loving Father, who wants to reconcile them to Himself and loved them so much that He gave His very best in the Person of His Only Begotten Son!

I feel like preaching, but I’ll take my seat now…

Jesus is Real

 

Someone asked me, "How do I know Jesus is real?" This is my reply:

 

Jesus is THE way to relationship with Father God, THE way to everlasting life, and THE way to abundant life!

 
Jesus is not only real but all reality was created FOR Him and BY Him! Jesus is the most pivotal character in the annals of human history. The very years we chronicle are demarcated by His Birth.

 
Those who love Him will give up everything to follow Him; those who hate Him will stop at nothing to discredit Him and destroy His followers.

 
Jesus is love personified. No other figure was known to lay down His life, not only for those who LOVE Him but for those who HATE Him as well!

 
When compared to other “religions,” well, Krishna is dead, Buddha is dead, Muhammed is dead, Zoroaster is dead, Joseph Smith is dead, Charles Taze Russell is dead, and L.Ron Hubbard is dead. Jesus, on the other hand is alive at the right hand of the Father!

 
When I experience each breath, I experience Jesus’ Love for me. When I witness a sunrise or a sunset, I experience His majesty. When I held my sons for the first time, I experienced His meticulous creativity.

 
Indeed, Jesus is not only REAL, He is the REALEST thing I know!

The Wisdom Tree

People often talk about others “anointing” as if it is something unobtainable. No person’s anointing is greater than another. What makes the anointed look “anointed” is knowing to apply the Word of God according to what I call the Wisdom Tree.

Start with the trunk of INFORMATION. The Bible is full information that you can aggregate into branches of KNOWLEDGE. Then you begin to grow your knowledge into limbs of UNDERSTANDING. Then the sum total of these, properly applied equals the fruit of WISDOM.

Your journey begins by first accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, then praying to God that the eyes of your understanding may be opened (Ephesians 1:18).

Then open your Bible and begin reading.

Ask God to send you the Holy Spirit, that the fallow ground of your heart may be broken up so that the seed of the Word can be planted deep. Then apply the Living Water that is Jesus. Abide (that means, LIVE) in Him and allow His Word to Abide in you. Then you begin to see the stalk of your faith and your life in Christ grow.

But don’t give up here, because now the enemy comes to try and steal from you what God has planted. Allow the Holy Spirit to have His way in your life, and you will soon find that you are being pruned to grow strong and purged to eliminate the excess in your life (Matthew 13 – ALL) . At the end, you will see yourself bearing Kingdom fruit (Galatians 5:22-23).

When you start bearing Kingdom fruit, when you’re under pressure, you will release the Word of God — just like the orange, when squeezed, produces orange juice.

But notice, the juice is only pleasant when the fruit is mature! You have to go through a maturing or perfecting process. Without the maturing process, the juice is often bitter and unprofitable. The process is not always pleasant but it always produces the desired result!

Praise God!
