DOES GOD PERMIT WOMEN TO BE PASTORS OF CHURCHES?

1 TIMOTHY 2:11-12 (AMPC)
 
Let a woman learn in quietness, in entire submissiveness.
 
12 I allow no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to remain in quietness and keep silence [in religious assemblies].
 
 
 
1 CORINTHIANS 14:33B-38 (AMPC)
 
As [is the practice] in all the churches of the saints (God's people),
 
34 The women should keep quiet in the churches, for they are not authorized to speak, but should take a secondary and subordinate place, just as the Law also says. [Gen. 3:16.]
 
35 But if there is anything they want to learn, they should ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to talk in church [for her to usurp and exercise authority over men in the church].
 
36 What! Did the word of the Lord originate with you [Corinthians], or has it reached only you?
 
37 If anyone thinks and claims that he is a prophet [filled with and governed by the Holy Spirit of God and inspired to interpret the divine will and purpose in preaching or teaching] or has any other spiritual endowment, let him understand (recognize and acknowledge) that what I am writing to you is a command of the Lord.
 
38 But if anyone disregards or does not recognize [that it is a command of the Lord], he is disregarded and not recognized [he is one whom God knows not].
 
 
Dear people of God, in many churches today, we have married couples who run the church as pastor and pastor Mrs.
 
We have churches where the person whom God called into ministry has passed on and his spouse, a female, is running the church as overseer or pastor.
 
We have church branches where a woman is exclusively the head as the one who started the ministry.
 
Where did all these come from despite the clarity of God’s Word in the two reference Scriptures above?
 
There is no record of a woman serving as a priestess in God’s house in the Old Testament. The Lord Jesus Christ never appointed any woman as His Apostle during His earthly ministry.
 
There is absolutely no record of a woman operating as overseer of any Church in the early Christian era.
 
However, in the old and new Testaments, we have women who operated as prophetesses and evangelists in the Christian era we are currently operating.
 
See examples of Prophetesses in the Bible:
 
1. MIRIAM – Exodus 15:20
2. DEBORAH – Judges 4:4
3. HULDAH – 2 Kings 22:14
4. ISAIAH’S WIFE – Isaiah 8:3
5. ANNA – Luke 2:36
6. PHILIP THE EVANGELIST’S 4 DAUGHTERS – Acts 21:9
 
Since the Lord Jesus Christ has commanded all His children, disciples, to preach the Gospel to all nations of the world, women operate as Evangelists taking the Gospel to others.
 
The danger with women who operate as pastors and overseers in churches teaching and exercising authority over men is that they are operating under God’s Divine wrath without realizing it.
 
It does not matter how many lost souls such women have won over for Christ in their ministry. It does not matter how many miracles they have performed in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
The incontrovertible fact remains, they are acting in disobedience of God’s command, which Paul under God’s Divine inspiration mentioned to the Corinthians as God’s command and specifically told them that anyone who does not recognize the command as being from God is NOT recognized by God.
 
Can anyone whom God does not recognize enter heaven?
 
Absolutely not!
 
Dear woman pastor, you have been told today even if you never knew before now. Save yourself before it is too late.
 
Simply resign your position immediately as pastor, repent sincerely before God and cry to Him in prayer to have mercy on you and show you what ministry He has called you into.
 
Do not ever make the mistake of believing as some Christians do that because God is answering your prayers it means you are in right standing with Him. I will remind you that God answers prayers because of His integrity, Righteous and Just Nature of keeping His Word.
 
God will NEVER change His Word for anyone so the earlier Christians understand this, the better for all of us.
 
As for people who are members of such churches, you may not be able to get the woman pastor to repent and make amends but you can also save yourself from being an accomplice to disobedience of God’s command.
 
Simply leave such church and ask God to direct you to a church where you can fellowship to worship Him with other brethren in line with His Word.
 
For any man, a pastor, who ordains his wife and other women as pastors and appoints them into positions of authority to preach, teach and exercise authority over men in church branches, under whose authority are you doing these things?
 
Is the Word of God not clear enough on the role of women in the Church? Repent today, correct yourself and align the Ministry as God has commanded before it is too late for you.
 
If you fall into any of the groups mentioned above, please and please think of your soul and your eternity for there is no mercy from God when you depart this world at death.
 
If the Lord Jesus Christ comes at Rapture before you die, He will not take you because you have violated His command.
 
If you still doubt this message, let me remind you of Paul the Apostle’s Words under God’s inspiration in 1 Corinthians 9:27 (NKJV), “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.”
 
A Word is enough for the wise.
 
Jesus Christ is coming shortly to take in Rapture ONLY those who are qualified according to His righteous standards in the Holy Bible.
 
Are you living a genuine life as His disciple? Are you ready for Him? Come to Jesus today, for tomorrow may be too late for you.
 
May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus’ Most Holy Name, Amen.
