GOD GIVES INSTRUCTION TO WOMEN

God's Prayer Power - Session 8

Our verse today is Titus 2:3-5

"The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."

Paul, in this chapter, is talking to Titus, telling him he is to teach the people that they should always be prepared for Jesus' coming because Jesus gave His life to redeem the sinner.

He gives him instruction for the older men in the second verse, and in the third verse through the fifth he gives instructiions for the women; the seventh and eighth verses he gives instructions for the young men. But for today's session we will talk about the instructions for the older women and the younger women.

What three words reach out to you? For me the words behavior, teach and honor God.

Behavior - How to Act

Teach - Instruct

Honor God - Reverent

Behavior:

Galatians 5:22-23:says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law".  God wants us to become more Christ like.

Teach:

God throughout the Bible is teaching us, instructing us. He teaches us truth, gives us the information we need to live right, corrects our ways and shows us our errors.

2 Timorhy 3:16 says,."All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness".

Honor God:

We are to regard God with honor, admiration and respect for who He is and for all He has done for us. Psalm 29:2 says, "Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness."

Prayer:

Help us, we, the older women

To be reverent in the way we

live. To not be slanderous

or addicted to too much wine.

Teach us what is good so we

May teach the young ones what

Is good in thy sight.

 

Help us to teach the young women

 to love their husbands and children; to be

Self-controlled and pure, to be busy

At home, be kind, so that no one will

Malign the word of God. Amen

This week let us spend time reading Titus 2:3-5 to learn more of what Paul is telling Titus.

May God bless you and your family this week.
