More long distance calls will be made today than any other day of the year. All The King’s Daughters There’s no doubt that mothering is the toughest job that you will ever have. Agree? Video…… All The King’s Daughters All The Kings Daughters Agree now? Today, we pause and say “thanks” for all of your hard work through out the year. We probably don’t say “thanks” enough. “Happy Mothers Day.” All The Kings Daughters Interesting to look out for women in Bible that stands out: Esther, Ruth, Naomi, Sarah, Deborah, Abigail, Rachael, Lydia, Mary & Martha How about the Daughters of Zelophehad? Numbers 27:1-4 All The Kings Daughters The daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. The names of the daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah. They came forward and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders and the whole assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said, “Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among Korah’s followers, who banded together against the LORD, but he died for his own sin and left no sons. Why should our father’s name disappear from his clan because he had no son? Give us property among our father’s relatives.” All The Kings Daughters Notice their names have similar ending Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah The syllableah, which occurs in each of these names, is a contraction of the Hebrew form Jehovah. They bears in her name the name of God. Common practice among Hebrews with strong faith All The Kings Daughters These girls came before Moses and they asked an unusual thing. Israel does not have an inch of land yet. God's promise that they would have the land, they are already dividing it up by faith. Faith is the key note here. Is the one key to obtaining blessing from God. All The Kings Daughters 1. Faith in ASKING These five girls emphasize for us that these becomes our experience only when we act upon it and that is, when we exercise faith. So often we give in before even making the first step of faith. NOT POSSIBLE !!!! Consider these five girls situation They Ask. (Exp: Regency) All The Kings Daughters We are all HIS daughters figuratively speaking. We are the church his bride. Jesus is the groom God promise us his inheritance. (approximately 30,000 promises in the Bible) What are you asking for today? All The Kings Daughters Matthew 7:7-12 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. All The Kings Daughters Asking in Greek translation literally means to beg Begging is very different from asking When someone is begging, it is out of desperationthere is no other choice. If they don’t ask they will not get. Is about survival. All The Kings Daughters Why does Jesus teach us that we must come before God and beg Him? Does he like to see us grovel? Jesus is trying to teach that if you understand your need for God, you would be begging! If you don’t, you’re like beggars who don’t realize he should be begging! All The Kings Daughters Without him, it is impossible to survive spiritually Is a daily affair because we need the strength to face different challenges and obstacles everyday. We all have enough to handle daily and struggles to go through daily. So why don’t we ask? Why don’t we beg? All The Kings Daughters 2. Believed in the Impossible What made them hope like they did? What made them even think they have the chance to inherin this land? Eveything looked against them. No one ever contemplated such a situation. The law point the exact opposite All The Kings Daughters However the offer of the land to Israel was not made on the basis of law God had never said that Israel should earn the land, but it was a gift of His grace to them This removed completely the realm of custom and law to the relationships of grace Then, it was not law they were dealing with, but love. All The Kings Daughters The truth that grace can give what law cannot. What the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin This is what these girls discovered – that when they were dealing with law, it was hopeless. Romans 8 – All Things, That is the limit of our abilities to ask when it is put on the relationship of grace. All The Kings Daughters Romans 8 :31-32 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? All Things, That is the limit of our abilities to ask when it is put on the relationship of grace.
