Introduction

I woke early this morning and noted that there was a comment Left that I had to moderate. It was placed under my Post entitled “Remembering the Goodness of God”.

At first I was just going to delete it, but I thought, “no I will reply to it.”

COMMENT BY Mypbbooks: 1 Timothy 2:12-14 King James Version 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

My Reply: I have been called as a prophet and teacher by Almighty God. So go tell that to Him who created Paul the Apostle and called Deborah the prophet and several women e.g Kathleen Kulhmann, Cindy Jacobs etc… Many women as men have been and are still a blessing in ministry worldwide, there is no space here to give examples.

God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son that who so ever (not ONLY MEN) believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). In Yeshua (Jesus), there is no Greek, Jew, Male or Female… (Galatians 3:28) we are all one to fulfil our purposes. Almighty God created Paul and Jesus is greater than Paul.

Know this truth today, as God wants you to be instructed with it, sir, the Apostle Paul made that statement you quote from 1 Timothy 2 in the context of what was happening at the time. It does not mean that all women called by God should stop what they are doing in Service to God who called them; Paul also approved of several women ministers (yet you forget that) which confirms that in 1 Timothy 2:12-14 he was speaking about what was happening at the specific time and not against all females teaching. Even if he genuinely was against females teaching which I doubt (I have stated earlier that there are many examples of his approval) that was his humanly opinion not God’s because it contradicts God’s truth and purpose for all humanity;

The calling of God is not specific to any gender; when Abraham was called, (Genesis 12;1-3)God said his descendants will bless nations, not just MALE descendants. Matthew 28:19-21 the Great commission by Christ to his disciples does not state ONLY MEN should be in service to God, does it?

The five fold ministerial gifts /call to service in Ephesians 4:11-13 is a calling to service of God Almighty for MALE AND FEMALE and is not only for the MALE gender. Therefore your comment with 1 Timothy 2:12-14 under my post in which you attempt to end my calling to teach (people have done worst things to try to silence me, sir) because you think by me fulfilling my calling of God is usurping male authority is not from God Almighty who called me.

Sir, I forgive you but I must state the following:

For you to ignore all Apostle Paul’s references to female teachers/ministers which had no hint of disapproval and just stick to this one scripture 1 Timothy 2 as if it was the sole biblical authority prohibiting female ministers (it is yours and some other people’s false and out of context interpretation of scripture) shows that you need Holy Spirit inspired teaching and to overcome a deepset fear of women in minister which is rooted in false teaching you received.

Females who have blogs and teaching ministries are not usurping a man’s authority, we are doing what God has called us to do. Should we refrain because a man like you feels threatened? And why do you feel threatened instead of focusing on the blessed message God is using us, as well as men to bring to all, you included?

You need deliverance sir, seek God about this. Spend precious time with Him, He will instruct you. Jesus said to his disciples then and this message is for us now; “You will know the truth and the truth will set you free”(John 8:31-32). Seek God alone through the scriptures (I have quoted some here and expounded on them) not false ministers for the truth and you will be set free.

I will never refrain from my God given call to please anyone, male or female, will you?

God bless you abundantly,

Deborah Esther Nyamekye
