Believe against hope!

                            BELIEVE AGAINST HOPE...



 The Eternal makes us promises...

Some of them, humanly speaking, become impossible for our natives... But it demands of us, a persistent and persevering faith, because this word left the mouth of the Eternal and will not return to Him empty... It will be fulfilled in the opportune time ...

Our duty as Christians is to believe against hope... Whenever the Lord gives us promises, certainly contrary circumstances and words will confront the Promises of the Lord. Attempts by the enemy to destabilize us spiritually and bring hopelessness... Hence the danger of wanting to give a “way” for the promise to happen. Give a "little strength" to the Eternal. It was Sara's mistake in asking Abraham to lie down with Hagar to secure his “heir”. We clearly see the bad weather in the lives of Abraham and Sarah, however, we can also see the miracle. They had a promise and also, contrary circumstances... They decided to believe! That's what we must do! Believing against hope even though everything says otherwise! If the Eternal promised it will happen!!!



GENESIS 18:1-33

God promises a son to Abraham

1The Lord God appeared to Abraham in the sacred grove of Mamre. It was the hottest time of the day, and Abraham was sitting at the entrance to his tent. 2 He looked up and saw three men standing in front of him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them. He knelt down, put his face on the floor 3 and said:

- Gentlemen, if I deserve your attention, do not pass by my humble home without paying me a visit. He 4I will send for water to wash your feet, and then you will rest here under the tree. 5I will also bring you some food, so you will have the strength to continue your journey. You honored me with your visit; therefore, let me serve you.

They answered:

— All right, we accept.

6Abraham ran into the tent and said to Sarah,

- Quickly! Take ten kilos of flour and make bread.

7Then he ran to the cattle, selected a good new calf and handed it to one of the servants, who prepared it to be eaten. 8Abraham took curds, milk, and prepared meat and placed them in front of the visitors. There, under the tree, he served the food himself and watched. 9Then they asked:

"Where is Sara, your wife?"

"She's in the tent," Abraham replied.

10One of them said:

'Next year I'll come visit you again. And at that time Sara, his wife, will have a child.

Sara was behind him, at the entrance to the tent, listening to the conversation. 11Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was past the age of having children. 12 So he laughed inside and thought:

"How can I have sexual pleasure now that my lord and I are old?"

13Then the LORD asked Abraham,

"Why did Sara laugh?" Why did she say she's too old to have a child? 14Is anything impossible for the LORD? For, as I said, next year I will come to visit you again. And at that time Sara will have a child.

When Sara heard this, she was afraid and wanted to deny it.

"I wasn't laughing," she said.

But the LORD answered:

- Is not true; you really laughed.

Abraham asks in favor of Sodom

16Then the visitors got up and went to a place where they could see the city of Sodom. And Abraham went with them to show them the way. 17Then the LORD God said to himself, “I will not hide from Abraham what I intend to do. 18His descendants will become a great and powerful nation, and through him I will bless all the nations of the earth. 19I have chosen him so that he will command his children and his descendants to obey my teachings and do what is right and just. If they obey, I will do for Abraham all that I promised.”

20Then the LORD said to Abraham,

“There are terrible charges against Sodom and Gomorrah, and the sin of their inhabitants is very grave. 21 I need to go down there to see if the accusations I've been hearing are true or not.

22Then two of the visitors went out, going towards Sodom; but Abraham stayed there with God the LORD. 23Abraham came a little closer and asked,

"Will you destroy the good along with the bad ones?" 24Maybe there are fifty people straight in the city. In that case, will you destroy the city? Would you not forgive her for the love of the good fifty? 25It is not possible for you to kill the good along with the bad, as if everyone had committed the same sins. Don't do that! You are the judge of the whole world and therefore you will act with justice.

26The LORD God answered,

"If I find fifty people upright in Sodom, I'll forgive the whole town for them."

27Abraham said again:

— Forgive my daring to continue talking to you, for you are the Lord, and I am a mere mortal. 28It may be that there are only forty-five straight people. Will you destroy the city because of that difference of five?

God answered:

"If I find forty-five, I won't destroy the city."

29Abraham continued:

"What if there are only forty good ones?"

"For the sake of these forty, I will not destroy the city," God replied.

30Abraham said:

“Don't be angry with me, Lord, for I keep talking. What if there are only thirty?

God answered:

“If there are thirty, I'll forgive the city.

31Abraham insisted again:

"I'm being bold, but forgive me, Lord." What if there are only twenty?

"For the love of these twenty, I will not destroy the city," God replied.

32Finally Abraham said:

“Don't be angry, Lord, for this is the last time I will speak. What if there are only ten?

"Because of these ten, I will not destroy the city," God replied.

33 When the LORD God had finished speaking to Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home

WHAT IS YOUR CAUSE?

 THE UNFAIR JUDGE AND THE IMPORTANT WIDOW...

WHAT IS YOUR CAUSE?

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN WAITING FOR IN THE CREATOR?

YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT PARABLE THAT EXPLAINS THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSEVERARMOS FOR ANSWER, THE ONE THAT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN JUDGE OUR CAUSE ...

HOW MANY INJUSTICES HAVE YOU BEEN?

HOW LONG?

HOW MANY DISPUTES HAVE BEEN PASSED BY THE ADVERSARY OF OUR SOULS?

PERSEVERE, DON'T GIVE UP! CONTINUE CLAIMING: FAIR JUDGE, JUDGE MY CAUSE !!!

IF THE WIDOW WAS RESPONDED INSISTENTLY IN A DAILY WAY TO IMPROVE AN UNJUST JUDGE WHAT WILL THE CREATOR BE FAIR TO DO IN HIS FAVOR WILL NOT DO?

LUKE 18: 1-8

The widow and the judge

1 Jesus told the following parable, showing the disciples that they should always pray and never be discouraged:

2 - In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and respected no one. 3 In that city lived a widow who always came to him to ask for justice, saying: “Help me and judge my case against my opponent!”

4 - For a long time the judge did not want to judge the widow's case, but finally he thought: “It is true that I do not fear God and I do not respect anyone either. 5 However, as this widow continues to bore me, I will give the sentence in favor of her. If I don't, she won't stop teasing me until she's done with me. ”

6 And the Lord continued:

- Pay attention to what that dishonest judge said. 7 Is it then that God is not going to do justice to his own people, who cry for help day and night? Will it take him long to help you? 8 I tell you that he will judge in favor of his people and will do it very quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?

Watch for signs ...


 Matthew 24: 1-51


The Sign of the End Times 🌎




(Mc 13.1-31; Lk 21.5-37)




1 Jesus left the temple, and while he was walking, his disciples approached him to show him the buildings of the temple.


2 "Do you see all this?" He asked. “I guarantee that there will be no stone left unturned; they will all be overthrown. ”


3 When Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples addressed him in private and said: “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign of your coming and the end of time? ”🇮🇱


4 Jesus replied, “Watch out, let no one deceive you. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ!' And will deceive many. 6 You will hear about wars and rumors of wars, but do not be afraid. It is necessary for such things to happen, but it is not yet the end.


7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in several places. 8 All of this will be the beginning of pain. ⏳


9 “Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time, many will be scandalized, will betray and hate one another, 11and numerous false prophets will arise and deceive many. 12 Due to the increase in wickedness, the love of many will grow cold, 13 but whoever endures to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.


15 “So, when you see 'the terrible sacrilege', of which the prophet Daniel spoke, in the Holy Place — whoever reads, understand— 16 then those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Whoever is on the roof of your house, do not go down to take anything from it. 18 Whoever is in the field does not return to get his mantle. 19 How terrible those days will be for pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding! 20 Pray that your flight will not happen in winter or on Saturday. 21For then there will be great tribulation, as there has never been since the beginning of the world until now, nor will there ever be. 22 If those days were not cut short, no one would survive; but, because of the elect, those days will be shortened. 23 If, then, someone says: 'Look, here is the Christ!' Or: 'There he is!', Don't believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear who will perform great signs and wonders to, if possible, deceive even the elect. 25 See that I warned you in advance. ”


26 “So, if someone says:‘ He is there, in the desert! ’, Do not leave; or: ‘There he is, inside the house!’, don’t believe it. 27 For just as the lightning comes out of the East and shows itself in the West, so will the coming of the Son of man. 28 Where there is a corpse, the vultures will gather there.


29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days


"‘ The sun will darken, 🌒




and the moon will not give its light;




the stars will fall from the sky, 🌠




and the celestial powers will be shaken'.☄️




30 “Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the nations of the earth will mourn and see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. 🛌🛏




32 “Learn the lesson of the fig tree: when its branches are renewed and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, at the gates. 34 I assure you that this generation will not pass away until all these things happen. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.📜




Day and Hour Are Unknown




(Mc 13.32-37)




36 “As for the day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the coming of the Son of man. 38 For in the days before the Flood, the people lived eating and drinking, getting married and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark; 39 and they realized nothing, until the Flood came and took them all. So it will be at the coming of the Son of man. 40 Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be working in a mill: one will be taken and the other left.⏲️




42 “Watch therefore, because you do not know what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: if the owner of the house knew what time of the night the thief would come, he would be on guard and would not let his house be broken into. 44 So you also need to be prepared, because the Son of Man will come at a time when you least expect it. 🛐

43 But understand this: if the owner of the house knew what time of the night the thief would come, he would be on guard and would not let his house be broken into. 44 So you also need to be prepared, because the Son of Man will come at a time when you least expect it. 🛐


45 “Who, then, is the faithful and sensible servant, whom his master is in charge of the other servants in his household to give them food in due time? 46 Happy is the servant that his master finds doing so when he returns. 47 I guarantee that he will take charge of all his assets. 48 But suppose that servant is evil and say to yourself, 'My lord is taking too long', 49 and then start beating your servants and eating and drinking with drunks. 50 The master of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect him and in an hour that he does not know. 51 He will punish you severely and make room for you hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 😭

OUR CHALLENGE ...

 OUR DAILY WORK: THE FIGHT AGAINST SIN AND THE SEARCH FOR SANCTIFICATION ...




ARE YOU PERFECT? SURELY NO, I DIDN'T! WE SIN, WE WRONG, WE FAIL EVEN WITHOUT REALIZING. AS THE APOSTLE PAUL: “BECAUSE I DON'T DO THE GOOD I WANT, BUT THE EVIL I DON'T WANT, I DO” (Romans 7: 19-20)


ROMANS 5: 1-21

Justification by Faith and Peace with God

1 Having therefore been justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ;

2 Through which we also have an entrance by faith to this grace, in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only this, but we also boast in tribulations; knowing that tribulation produces patience,

4 And patience is experience, and experience is hope.

5 And hope does not cause confusion, because the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

6 For Christ, while we were still weak, died in due time for the wicked.

7 For only someone will die for the righteous; for it may be that for the good one dares to die.

8 But God proves his love for us, in that Christ died for us, while we are still sinners.

9 Much more now, having been justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath by him.

10 For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, having already been reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

11 And not only this, but we also boast in God for our Lord Jesus Christ, for which we now achieve reconciliation.

For one man came sin and death. For a man also came the grace that overflowed with sin

12 Therefore, as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death passed on to all men because of all that they sinned.

13 For sin was in the world until the law, but sin is not imputed, and there is no law.

14 However, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of the one who was to come.

15 But the free gift is not like the offense. Because, if by the offense of one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is of one man, Jesus Christ, abounded over many.

16 And the gift was not like the offense, for the one who sinned. Because the judgment came from a single offense, in fact, for condemnation, but the free gift came from many offenses for justification.

17 For if, by the offense of one, death reigned over him, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of justice, will reign in life for one, Jesus Christ.

18 For just as by one offense judgment came upon all men for condemnation, so also by one act of justice grace came upon all men for justification of life.

19 For as if by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one many will be made righteous.

20 However, the law came so that the offense would abound; but, where sin abounded, grace abounded;

21 So that, just as sin reigned in death, so grace might reign through justice for eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.


ROMANS 6: 1-23

Grace does not allow us to remain in sin, but frees us from the power of sin

1 WHAT shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 Not at all. How can we, who are dead to sin, still live in it?

3 Or do you not know that all who were baptized in Jesus Christ were baptized in his death?

4 So we were buried with him by baptism in death; so that, as Christ was raised from the dead, by the glory of the Father, so may we also walk in newness of life.

5 For if we were planted together with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be planted in his resurrection;

6 Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, so that the body of sin may be undone, so that we no longer serve sin.

7 For he who is dead is justified from sin.

8 Now if we have already died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;

9 Knowing that since Christ was raised from the dead, he no longer dies; death no longer has dominion over him.

10 For as far as he died, he died to sin at once; but as for living, he lives for God.

11 So you also consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12 Therefore, sin should not reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its lusts;

13 Neither do you present your members to sin as instruments of iniquity; but present yourselves to God, as living from the dead, and your members to God, as instruments of justice.

14 For sin will have no dominion over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace.

15 Why? Will we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? Not at all.

16 Do you not know that to whomever you present yourselves as servants to obey him, you are servants of him whom you obey, or from sin to death, or from obedience to righteousness?

17 But thank God that, having been servants of sin, you have heartfelt obedience to the form of doctrine to which you have been given.

18 And being freed from sin, you were made servants of righteousness.

19 I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you have presented your members to serve uncleanness and wickedness to wickedness, so now present your members to serve righteousness for sanctification.

20 For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

21 And what fruit did you have then of the things that you are now ashamed of? Because their end is death.

22 But now, freed from sin, and made servants of God, you have your fruit for sanctification, and ultimately eternal life.

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life, through Christ Jesus our Lord.


IF SIN ...


1 JOHN 2: 1-17

1 My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin; and if anyone sins, we have an Advocate for the Father, Jesus Christ, the just.

2 And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.

Observing the commandments. Brotherly love. The separation from the world

3 And hereby we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

4 He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But whoever keeps his word, God's love is truly perfected in him; hereby we know that we are in it.

6 He who says he is in him must also walk as he did.

7 Brothers, I am not writing you a new commandment, but the old commandment, which you had from the beginning. This ancient commandment is the word that you have heard from the beginning.

8 Again I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because darkness is passing, and the true light is already illuminating.

9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is still in darkness until now.

10 He who loves his brother is in the light, and there is no scandal in him.

11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where to go; because darkness has blinded his eyes.

12 Little children, I write to you, for your sins are forgiven you by his name.

13 Parents, I write to you, because you have known him who he is from the beginning. Young people, I write to you, because you have overcome the evil one. I wrote to you, children, because you knew the Father.

14 I wrote to you, parents, because you have known him who he is from the beginning. I wrote to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

15 Do not love the world or what is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.

16 For everything in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but of the world.

17 And the world passes by, and its lust; but he who does the will of God remains forever.


SOON,


ROMANS 8: 1-17

The new life under grace, according to the spirit of holiness and adoration

1 THEREFORE, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, delivered me from the law of sin and death.

3 Because what was impossible with the law, since he was sick with the flesh, God, sending his Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin, condemned sin in the flesh for sin;

4 That the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

5 For those who are after the flesh bow down to the things of the flesh; but those who are according to the Spirit for the things of the Spirit.

6 For the inclination of the flesh is death; but the Spirit's inclination is life and peace.

7 For the inclination of the flesh is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can it be.

8 Therefore, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, that person is not his.

10 And if Christ is in you, the body is actually dead because of sin, but the spirit lives because of righteousness.

11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit who dwells in you.

12 So, brothers, we are indebted, not to the flesh to live according to the flesh.

13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery, for once again you were in fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption of children, for which we cry out: Abba, Father.

16 The same Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are children of God.

17 And if we are children, then we are also heirs, heirs of God, and co-heirs of Christ: if it is certain that we suffer with him, that we also may be glorified with him.



ROMANS 8: 30-39


30 And he who predestined these he also called; and to those he called to these he also justified; and to those whom he justified, he also glorified.

Song of victory: God is for us

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

32 He who spared not even his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how can he not also give us all things with him?

33 Who will bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies them.

34 Who condemns? For it is Christ who died, or rather who rose from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, and also makes intercession for us.

35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? The tribulation, or the anguish, or the persecution, or the hunger, or the nakedness, or the danger, or the sword?

36 As it is written: For your sake we are put to death all day long; We are reputed as sheep for the slaughterhouse.

37 But in all these things we are more than winners, by the one who loved us.

38 For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor the present, nor the future,

39 Neither height, nor depth, nor any other creature can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Caution!!!!

 WE SHOULD NOT TRY CHRIST, AS SOME OF THE ISRAELITES TRIED IT IN THE DESERT ...


                                        1 Corinthians 10: 1-31

Advice against idol worship

1 Brothers, I want you to remember what happened to our ancestors who followed Moses. All were protected by the cloud and passed through the Red Sea. 2 As followers of Moses, they were baptized in the cloud and the sea. 3 They all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from that spiritual rock that went with them; and the rock was Christ. 5 But God was not happy with most of them, so they died, and their bodies were scattered in the desert.

6 All this happened in order to serve as an example, for us not to want bad things as they wanted, 7 nor to worship idols, as some of them did. As the Holy Scriptures say: "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to enjoy themselves." 8 We must not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did. And because they did, twenty-three thousand of them fell dead in one day. 9 We are not to test Christ's patience, as some of them did, and for that reason they were killed by snakes. 10 You must not complain, as some of them did, and that is why you were destroyed by the Angel of Death.

11 All of this happened to our ancestors to set an example for others, and those things were written to serve as a warning to us. For we are living in the end times.

12 Therefore, one who thinks he is standing is better to be careful not to fall. 13 The temptations that you have to face are the same as others that you face; but God keeps his promise and will not let you suffer temptations that you do not have the strength to endure. When a temptation comes, God will give you the strength to endure it, so that you can get out of it.

14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idol worship. 15 I speak to you as with people who have the capacity to understand what I am saying. Judge yourselves what I am saying. 16 Think of the cup for which we give thanks to God at the Lord's Supper. Are we not taking part in the blood of Christ when we drink from this cup? And when we break and eat bread, are we not taking part in the body of Christ? 17 Even though there are many, we all eat the same bread, which is one; and that is why we are one body.

18 Think of the people of Israel. Those who eat the things offered in sacrifices take part together in the sacrifice that is offered to God at the altar. 19 What do I mean by that? That the idol or the food that is offered to him has any value? 20 Of course not! What I am saying is that what is sacrificed on the pagan altars is offered to demons and not to God. And I don't want you to take part in the demons' things. 21 You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord or from the cup of demons. You cannot eat at the Lord's table and also at the table of demons. 22 Or do we want to provoke the Lord by making him jealous? Do you think we are stronger than him?


                                    Respect for the opinion of others

23 Some say, "We can do whatever we want." Yes, but not everything is good. “We can do everything we want”, but not everything is useful. 24 No one should pursue his own interests, but the interests of others.

25 You can eat everything that is sold in the butcher shop, without any doubt of conscience. 26 For, as the Holy Scriptures say, "The earth and everything in it belong to the Lord."

27 If someone who is not a Christian invites you to eat, and you decide to go, eat whatever is put in front of you and do not ask questions out of conscience. 28 But if anyone says to you, "This food was offered to idols", in this case do not eat, because of the one who said this and also because of conscience. 29 I am not talking about your own conscience, but the conscience of the other.

But someone may ask, “Why should my freedom be diminished by the conscience of others? 30 If I thank God for the food I eat, why am I criticized, if I have already thanked God? ”

31 Therefore, when you eat, or drink, or do anything else, do everything for the glory of God.

THAT'S WHY SO MUCH RELATIONSHIPS ARE MONEY ...

 THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN & MAN ...

WHEN PAPERS ARE DUE FULLY FULFILLED, WE SEE THE WEAR IN WEDDINGS, CULMINATING FOR DIVORCE ...


Understand: God created man to be the Protector, provider since Eden, I say this, after sin. God said: You will eat the sweat on your face. This denotes work, effort, he would go hunting for food, for provision. He should from then on: be the protector and provider of his family. The woman in turn, since her conception, was created to be a helper, helper, helper, cooperator. She would help Adam. She would be with them side by side with common goals. Domestic services exist, are necessary and inevitable every day for both the single and the married. Failure to do so creates family arguments and disagreements. Since, each one must fulfill his / her role so as not to overload the other (a). And, when they do not occur, family conflicts and fights erode the family or couple relationship. While Adam provided the food, Eve certainly took care of the children, the house, cooking. Many people find it difficult to understand these principles by their creation, by the ideologies existing in the current world, by the dynamics of the world today. Where the woman is equated with the man. But, biblically it is not so. The man needs to fulfill his role and so does the woman. In today's world, due to the influence of feminism, new technologies, new jobs and competitiveness, there is a frantic rush on the part of women to reach the same levels as men and, if possible, surpass them. However, this will undermine your main ministry, which is to take care of the family, the husband, the children, the order of your home, the smooth running of your home. Something will be neglected: food will not be made, some bills will be forgotten to be paid, clothes will not be washed or ironed. There will be no time to pay attention to your husband or children. The dishes will remain in the sink, the house will be dirty. The dusty furniture, in short, something will no longer be done. This does not prevent the man from helping her. However, the woman has the role of helper. She will not be below him, but will be cooperating in her role alongside him. This does not mean that she cannot study, take courses when she is still single, but, as she said: married, at some point she may neglect her ministerial duties. Usually, when a woman earns more than her husband, there are conflicts. The woman in hot moments can humiliate her husband, or some action from her, make him feel like this: humiliated. It wears out any relationship. The man feels uncomfortable, creates problems in the home. The woman should not compete with her husband, but be her helper. This is the ministry by which the woman was created. Due to the difficulties of our time, many women work to help in the home. As a result, many feel overwhelmed and there are often conflicts and discussions, demands on the part of her for help. She is not wrong but, the man is fulfilling the role of providing and protecting and due to the limited time, it can be complicated for him to be able to help her. And she, in addition to being a wife, mother and homemaker, also has obligations in relation to her professional position. The question is: Will this woman be able to handle all this and still have mental and emotional health? Will she support her husband's demands? And the worst: her own? Many as an alternative to help their spouses: they work from home, generating some type of income. It could be a solution! They fulfill their ministries and help at home, financially. Many women think this is a sexist thought, however, the Eternal was how he created them and I believe that the Eternal is not wrong!

 

God created the woman to help and respond to the man. The woman received the same blessing as the man to dominate the land. Men and women work best when they work together, in harmony.

In the Bible, both the housewife and the business woman play a very important role. At home and at work, women should not give way to laziness, always doing their best and setting a good example.

At home, the wife and husband must work together to educate their children and maintain order in the home. The man is the head of the family but the woman is his right hand. The two must respect each other.


Woman's Role in the Bible


God created man in his image,

in the image of God he created him;

man and woman created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fertile and multiply! Fill and subdue the earth! Master the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and all the animals that move on the earth." Genesis 1: 27-28


Then the Lord God declared, "It is not good for man to be alone; I will do for him someone who will help and respond to him." Genesis 2:18


Then the Lord God declared, "It is not good for man to be alone; I will do for him someone who will help and respond to him." Genesis 2:18



An exemplary wife; happy whoever finds it! It is much more valuable than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her

and he never misses anything. It only does good, and never evil,

every day of her life. Proverbs 31: 10-12


Choose wool and linen

and with pleasure he works with his hands. Like merchant ships,

it brings its provisions from afar. Before daylight she gets up,

prepares food for everyone at home

and gives her servants chores. She evaluates a field and buys it;

with what she earns she plants a vineyard. She willingly indulges her work;

her arms are strong and vigorous. It manages its profitable trade well,

and her lamp stays on during the night. In her hands she holds the spindle

and with her fingers she takes the distaff. Welcomes the needy

and extends his hands to the poor. Proverbs 31: 13-20


She makes linen robes and sells them,

and she provides belts to traders. It has strength and dignity;

she smiles at the future. She speaks wisely

and teaches with love. Take care of your home business

and there is no room for laziness. Proverbs 31: 24-27


Women are also worthy, not slanderous, but sober and trustworthy in everything. 1 Timothy 3:11


Similarly, she teaches older women to be reverent in their way of life, not to be slanderous or enslaved to too much wine, but to be able to teach what is good. In this way, they will be able to guide younger women to love their husbands and children, to be prudent and pure, to be busy at home, and to be kind and subject to their husbands, so that the word of God is not defamed. Titus 2: 3-5


Likewise, I want women to dress modestly, with decency and discretion, not adorning themselves with braids and gold, or with pearls or expensive clothes, 1 Timothy 2: 9


Women, each subject yourselves to your husband, as to the Lord, for the husband is the head of the woman, just as Christ is the head of the church, which is her body, of which he is the Savior. Just as the church is subject to Christ, so women are subject to their husbands in everything. Ephesians 5: 22-24


In the Lord, however, women are not independent of men and men are not independent of women. For just as a woman came from a man, a man is born of a woman. But everything comes from God.

1 Corinthians 11: 11-12


To the woman, he declared:

"I will multiply greatly

your suffering during pregnancy;

with suffering you will give birth to children.

Your wish will be for your husband,

and he will dominate it. "Genesis 3:16


In the same way, women, each subject yourself to your husband, so that, if he does not obey the word, he may be won without words, by the procedure of his wife, observing your honest and respectful conduct. Your beauty should not be in the outer decorations, such as braided hair and gold jewelry or fine clothing. On the contrary, be in the inner being, which does not perish, beauty demonstrated in a docile and peaceful spirit, which is of great value to God. For this is how the holy women of the past also used to adorn themselves, whose hope was in God. They were each subject to her husband, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You will be daughters of it if you do good and do not give place to fear. 1 Peter 3: 1-6


Likewise, you husbands, be wise in living with your wives and treat them with honor, as the most fragile and co-heirs of the gift of grace in life, so that your prayers are not interrupted. 1 Peter 3: 7


Listen, my son, to your father's instruction

and don't despise your mother's teaching. Proverbs 1: 8


The wise woman builds her house,

but with your own hands

the fool drops her. Proverbs 14: 1


God loves men and women equally, but He has defined different roles for the two. The difference between man and woman must be celebrated, because one complements the other. Recognizing the difference is not saying that men are better than women and vice versa.

In life, a man can be a husband, a father, a leader in the church. Even if he is not married, the man is called to look after his family, offering protection.

In the context of the family, man must have maturity in God, and guide the family in the ways of the Lord.

A Christian man must:


• provide for your family (whether married or not);

• protect and support the people who care for him;

• love your wife as Jesus loves his church;

• raising your children by helping them to develop physically, intellectually and spiritually.

• live with integrity, doing your best in everything you do.


Man's Role in the Bible


Be vigilant, stand firm in the faith, be men of courage, be strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13


Whatever you do, do it with all your heart, as for the Lord, and not for men,

Colossians 3:23


If someone does not take care of his relatives, and especially of his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 1 Timothy 5: 8


For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his descendants to keep themselves in the way of the Lord, doing what is just and right, so that the Lord will bring to Abraham what he has promised ". Genesis 18:19


Husbands, love each one of your wife, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her Ephesians 5:25


Parents, do not irritate your children; rather, create them according to the instruction and counsel of the Lord. Ephesians 6: 4


Likewise, you husbands, be wise in living with your wives and treat them with honor, as the most fragile and co-heirs of the gift of grace in life, so that your prayers are not interrupted. 1 Peter 3: 7


Husbands, love each one of your wife and do not treat her with bitterness. Colossians 3:19


It is necessary, therefore, that the bishop should be blameless, the husband of one woman, moderate, sensible, respectable, hospitable and able to teach; he must not be attached to wine or violent, but he must be kind, peaceful and not attached to money. He must govern his own family well, with his children subject to him, with all dignity. 1 Timothy 3: 2-4


When we were still with you, we ordered this: If someone doesn't want to work, they don't eat either. 2 Thessalonians 3:10


Do not get drunk with wine, which leads to debauchery, but let yourself be filled by the Spirit,

Ephesians 5:18

 What danger of the poison of injustice can produce in the hearts ...




When we are going through adversities, injustices ... When we go through moments of calamities and think we do not deserve it, we are tempted to question many of the injustices that we experience with resentment and resentment in our hearts against God or against people. We think the Eternal is taking too long to help us, to answer our cry, our prayers. We are tempted to look to the side and judge: why is so-and-so prospering on the path of error? Why does he thrive on his iniquity? And I who obey, disown my flesh, humble myself before the Eternal, treading the right path, do I suffer like a malefactor? This is how the psalmist David felt in Psalm 73 and it can happen to you and me! It hurts to look at some injustices, in fact we don't want to suffer ... Anyway, the world is unfair! This is a fact! And the Eternal uses these injustices, to teach his servants some principles and dangers: We have to take care of our eyes and hearts! Not always what we see with our eyes means reality and the enemy's real intention is to distance ourselves from the Creator, painting the image of an unjust and sarcastic God! Who wants to see you suffer. The devil also makes people who do his will prosper, to somehow convey the mistaken idea that with him, people get what they want! We see this clearly in some sects. Of course, the devil gives, with the objective of entangling the individual in his sea of ​​sin and disgrace, to finally reap his souls! However, the Eternal does not always give us what we want, but what he thinks is best for us! In order to glorify him with our lives! Entering the path of hurt and resentment against the Eternal is the ultimate goal of Satan when he decides to invest in the life of a human being fearing the Creator! Let us always watch ...

No temptation came upon you, but human; but God is faithful, who will not let you try beyond what you can, but with the temptation he will also give you the escape, so that you can endure it.

1 Corinthians 10:13


Psalm 73: 1-28

1 God is truly good towards Israel, towards the pure in heart.

2 As for me, my feet have almost gone astray; there was little left for my steps to slip.

3 For I was envious of the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 For there are no grips in his death, but his strength is steadfast.

5 They are not in work like other men, nor are they afflicted like other men.

6 Therefore arrogance surrounds them like a necklace; they dress in violence as in adornment.

7 Their eyes are swollen with fat; they have more than the heart could desire.

8 They are corrupt and maliciously deal with oppression; speak arrogantly.

9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues walk the earth.

10 Therefore his people return here, and waters full of glass are squeezed out of them.

11 And they say, How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?

12 Behold, these are wicked, and prosper in the world; increase in wealth.

13 Truly that I have purified my heart in vain; and washed my hands in innocence.

14 For the whole day I have been afflicted, and I have been punished each morning.

15 If I said, I will speak thus; behold, it would offend your children's generation.

16 When I thought about understanding this, it was very painful for me;

17 Until I entered the sanctuary of God; so I understood their end.

18 You have certainly put them in slippery places; you cast them in destruction.

19 How they fall into desolation, almost in a moment! They are totally consumed with terrors.

20 Like a dream, when you wake up, so, O Lord, when you wake up, you will despise their appearance.

21 So my heart went sour, and my kidneys are stinging.

22 So I became stupid, and I knew nothing; I was like an animal before you.

23 However, I am continually with you; you supported me by my right hand.

24 You will guide me with your advice, and then you will receive me in glory.

25 Who have I in heaven but you? and there is no one on earth that I want besides you.

26 My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.

27 For, behold, those who stretch out from you will perish; you have destroyed all those who turn away from you.

28 But it is good for me to approach God; I put my trust in the Lord GOD, to announce all your works.



Even when we are faithful to the Eternal and his Word and we live a life of integrity, there is no guarantee that injustices will not happen: We see this clearly in Job's life: a man of integrity, faithful, God-fearing and who turned away from evil. We will certainly be tempted with scarcity, lack, loss and injustice, but this will not last forever. There is a promise of fidelity on the part of the Creator. That's our hope ...

There is a Memorial, and if you are in Christ, your name is there!


Malachi 3: 1-18

1 Behold, I am sending my messenger, who will prepare the way before me; and suddenly the Lord will come to his temple, whom you seek; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes, says the LORD of hosts.

2 But who will endure the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appears? Because he will be like the goldsmith's fire and like the laundrymen's soap.

3 And he will set himself up as a melter and purifier of silver; and he will purify the children of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; then they will bring an offering to the Lord in righteousness.

4 And the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord, as in the old days, and as in the early years.

5 And I will come to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against sorcerers, against adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who defraud the daily laborer in his wages, and the widow, and the orphan, and who pervert the rights of foreigners, and do not fear me, says the Lord of Hosts.

6 For I, the Lord, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

7 Since the days of your fathers, you have strayed from my statutes, and have not kept them; turn to me, and I will become to you, says the Lord of hosts; but you say, What shall we return to?

8 Will a man rob God? Yet you steal from me, and say, In what do we steal from you? In tithes and offerings.

9 You are cursed with a curse, because you rob me of this whole nation.

10 Bring all the tithes to the treasury, so that there may be food in my house, and then prove me in this, says the Lord of hosts, if I do not open the windows of heaven to you and pour out such a blessing on you. until there is not enough room to collect it.

11 And because of you I will rebuke the devourer, and he will not destroy the fruits of your land; and your vine in the field will not be sterile, says the Lord of hosts.

12 And all the nations will call you blessed; for you will be a delightful land, says the Lord of hosts.

13 Your words were aggressive to me, says the Lord; but you say, What have we spoken against you?

14 You have said, It is useless to serve God; what good is it for us to be careful to keep its precepts, and to walk in mourning before the Lord of hosts?

15 Now then, we call the proud blessed; also those who commit wickedness are built up; yea, they tempt God, and escape.

16 Then those who feared the Lord often spoke to one another; and the Lord saw and heard; and a memorial was written before him, for those who feared the Lord, and for those who remembered his name.

17 And they will be mine, says the Lord of hosts; that day they will be jewels for me; I will spare them, as a man spares his son, who serves him.

18 Then you will return and see the difference between the righteous and the wicked; between what serves God, and what doesn't.
