TO OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE PART 2

INTRODUCTION
In the first part of this study,we saw how disobedience is a compound sin since it is the out
working of doubt and unbelieve. We also saw how every sin is actually disobedience to the
commandment of God. Moreover, we saw that as far as God is concerned, half obedience is
worse than disobedience. In John 15:16; God gave us three instructions. For years we have
been living in half obedience to this commandment. Now we shall begin to look at how we
can obey God completely in this regard.May God quicken our understanding as we study in
Jesus name. Amen

1. THERE CAN BE A LIVING CHURCH IN YOUR HOME

In the beginning of the church of Christ, there were many homes that housed living churches
where prayers were answered. God spoke to people, people got saved and filled with the
Holy Spirit, healings took place, who were baptized in water then got converted in home
churches. Examples include the house of Cornelius, the church then is still our Head today.
Rom.16:3-5; Acts 10:25, 30,44,48; Acts 11:12-15; Acts 16:14-15; Acts 16:40; Philemon 1:2;
Mark 2:1-4, 9,12; Luke 5:27, 32; Acts 20:7-12; Acts 12:12-17; Acts 20:20; Luke 10:38-48; Acts
1:12-14.

2. GOD CAN USE A WOMAN TOO

A particular instruction of Paul to Timothy concerning women ministry had not only been
misunderstood, but also interpreted in isolation of the scriptures, the same Paul highly
recommend the ministries of several women. Among who are Phoebe, Priscilla and Mary.
Tryphena, and Persis. The scriptures is full of course of women who prophesied like Miriam,
Deborah, Huldah, Noadiah, Anna and the daughters of the Philip evangelist. There is of
course scriptural proof that Paul is not against women prophesying and we know that the
office of a Prophet is higher than that of a teacher. Paul wrote the epistle to the Galatians
too!
