WOMEN LEADERSHIP IN THE CHURCHES:

 WOMEN MINISTERS LEADERS IN TODAY'S CHURCHES:

Romans 1:15

So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. ( Who is asking me this biblical important question ).

I'm Mandated By The Lord To CuLitivate, Enlighten, And Empower, Jesus Christ's Nations Son's And Daughters In His Love And Grace, Please Know This, I'm Not In The Work Of Ministry To Beg For Money, But I do need financial supporters. ( Still,) I Am In Christ's Work And Ministry To Hear Jesus Christ Say, Well Done Good And Faithful Minister, This Is The Everlasting Reward We Are Expecting To Hear And Receive. Glory To God in Jesus Christ. HALLELUJAH!

Serving, Fellowshiping, And Worshiping, Outside The Religious Boxes.

First of all the reason why I'm writing and addressing this touching subject is because of all the emails and questions, I am receiving from here in my country and many nations around the world concerning women in leadership in the Church, this is personal for me due to the fact my sister is a minister in the Methodist fellowship and she has said and stated many times God called her into the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, Next, I have had many women preachers who I was blessed to have sat and learned from and have spoken Kingdom destiny in and over my life and ministry for years. So with the utmost love and respect and my years of study of God's holy word, I'm asking The Holy Spirit to lead and guide me in this message, In Jesus' grace and love.

You are The Master Teacher, The Holy Spirit, Teach through me, and let God's will be done... Prominent and eminent God's leading women in ministry is an issue upon which Bible-believing Leaders, Believers, and Christians can and do disagree. The point of separation centers on the passages of Scripture that forbid women to speak in Church or "Assume authority over a man" (1 Timothy 2:12; ) (. 1 Corinthians 14:34 ). The disagreement is whether or not those passages were relevant only to the era in which they were written. Some contend that, since there is neither “Jew nor Greek . . . male nor female . . . but you are all one in Christ” ( Galatians 3:28 ), women are free to pursue any field of ministry open to men. Others hold that 1 Timothy 2:12 still applies today, since the basis for the command is not cultural but universal, rooted in the order of creation (1 Timothy 2:13-14).

First Peter 5:1-4 details the qualifications for an Elder. Presbuteros is the Greek word used sixty-six times in the New Testament to indicate “seasoned male overseer.” It is the masculine form of the word. The feminine form, Presbytera, is never used for Elders or Shepherds. Based on the qualifications found in 1 Timothy 3:1-7, the role of an Elder is interchangeable with the Bishop/Pastor/Overseer ( Titus 1:6-9; ) (1 Peter 5:1-3 ). And since, according to 1 Timothy 2:12, a woman should not “teach or exercise authority over a man,” it seems clear that the position of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Bishops, Elders, and Pastors, who must be equipped to teach, lead the congregation, and oversee their spiritual growth (1 Timothy 3:2), should be reserved for men only.

However, Elders/Bishops/Pastors, Apostles, Prophets, and Evangelists appear to be the only office reserved for men. Women have always played a significant role in the growth of the Church, even being among the few who witnessed the crucifixion of Christ when most of the disciples had run away ( Matthew 27:55;) ( John 19:25 ). The Apostle Paul held women in high regard, and in many of his letters to the Churches he greeted specific women by name ( Romans 16:6, 12; ) ( Colossians 4:15;) ( Philippians 4:2-3;) ( Philemon 1:2 ). Elder Paul addresses these women as "co-workers," and they served the Lord to the benefit of the whole Church (Philippians 4:3;) ( Colossians 4:15 ).

Offices were created in the early Church to fit the body's needs. Although many modern Churches interchange the positions of Elder and Deacon, they are not the same office. Deacons were appointed to serve in a physical capacity as the need arose ( Acts 6:2-3 ). There is no clear prohibition against women serving in this way. Romans 16:1 may indicate that a woman named Phoebe was a respected deaconess in the Church at Cenchrea.

There is no Scriptural precedent that forbids women from also serving as worship leaders, youth ministers, children’s directors ministry businesses, and other spiritual gifts that serve the Churches. The only restriction is that they do not assume a role of spiritual authority over adult men. Since the concern in Scripture appears to be the issue of spiritual authority rather than function, any role that does not bestow such spiritual authority over adult men is permissible. I pray that the Spirit of God's love mercy and grace will answer the question being asked of me here at home in the USA and many other Nations around the world. Amen.
