Daily Devotional for Thursday April 23, 2015
Women are Not Equal to Men in Any Way in Islam
(Genesis 1:27; Galatians 3:28)
***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, thank you for your love and blessings. I pray today that you help me to touch even just ONE life for you. If it is a kind act, a kind word, or the opportunity to tell someone about your love, USE ME TODAY FOR YOUR GLORY! In the name of Jesus...AMEN!!!
In Islam, woman are not equal to men in any way and are nothing but property!!! Why a woman would want to be part of the false religion of Islam is beyond me. They are believed to be inferior to men and little more than slaves who exist for the benefit of men. I have no clue why any woman would want to be part of these lies from the pits of hell, especially when you know the TRUTH about women as God tell us in His Word.
All throughout the Bible, women have played an incredible role in the plan of God. We see women being used by God in incredible ways, helping to fulfill His Divine plan. Women have always played a key role in God's work, and I want to make sure we never lose sight of how important they are in the Kingdom of God.
THE LIE OF SATAN THROUGH THE TEACHINGS OF THE FALSE RELIGION OF ISLAM IS THAT WOMEN ARE INFERIOR TO MEN. THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD TEACHES THAT MEN AND WOMEN ARE EQUAL!!!
I want to encourage women who are following the lies of Islam that you are NOT inferior to a man. God made you EQUAL with men. He loves you, has a special plan and purpose for your life, and wants the best for you. The fact is a large percentage of women in Islam did not choose these beliefs or make a conscience decision to commit their lives to them, they were born or married into them.
You cannot be born or married into Christianity. It is a choice, a decision you have to make to give your heart and life to Jesus. He loves you and wants to have an everlasting relationship with you. You don't need your parents or a man or anyone else to know Jesus as your personal Savior. It is a relationship you enter into by faith.
The Qur'an says that the testimony of a woman is not equal to that of a man. It says that the testimony of two women is required to be equal to the testimony of one man. Call in two male witnesses from among you, but if two men cannot be found, then one man and two women whom you judge fit to act as witnesses. (Qur'an 2:282 Dawood) I
Interestingly, Islam teaches the vast majority of those in hell are women. Ibn Abbas reported that Allah's Messenger said: I had a chance to look into paradise and I found that majority of the people was poor and I looked into the Fire and there I found the majority constituted by women. (Muslim, vol. 4, hadith 6597, p. 1432).
In the false religion of Islam, beating women is not only common, but something their "holy book" encourages. "And those (wives) you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them." (Qur'an 4:34, Arberry) Many hadiths encourage wife beating. Umar reported the Prophet as saying, "A man will not be asked about why he beat his wife." (Mishkat Al-Masabih, p. 693: Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah) Mohammed was also recorded to have beat his wives.
Of course, a woman's chief responsibility is to satisfy her husband sexually. Mohammad gave strong warnings to women who would not accommodate their husbands/masters desire. Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (p.) said, "If a man invites his wife to sleep with him an she refuses to come to him, then angels send their curses on her till morning." (Bukhari, vol. 7, hadith 121, p. 93)
For the Muslim man, upon his death he believes there will be many virgins waiting for him. "Surely for the godfearing awaits a place of security, gardens and vineyards and maidens with swelling breasts, like of age, and a cup overflowing." (Qur'an 78:31-33, Arberry) In the world of Islam, women have no legal standing, and are little more than a man's punching bag and sex object.
I love you and care about you so much. The fact is that all of us, men and women, are born with the sin of Adam in addition to those sins we commit during our life. It is our sin that separates us from God our Creator. But God loved us so much, He sent Jesus to die for our sins. That is why it is faith in Jesus alone, not Mohammed, but the Jesus of the Bible who is GOD that will save your soul. It is not too late.
You can turn from the lies of Islam today and ask Jesus into your heart and life by faith and He will. Take a moment, pray, and ask God to open your heart and watch this video clip: http://www.liveprayer.com/plan.cfm

***GOD IS GREAT!!! The last piece of our plan to lead this nation back to God and His Truth has been having the Liveprayer TV program that we pioneered from 2003-2008 on major secular stations and networks back on the air. After having the Liveprayer TV program back on the air "live" every Monday-Friday from Mid-2am EDT for 2 years this May, over 1 year this past February in the Chicagoland market of 10 million people, we have finalized plans for the program to be in national syndication this coming January!!!
This monthly syndication deal will pay the ministry enough each month to cover ALL of our monthly operations costs, and as the program grows, would give us the financial resources to secure a large, visible platform in the marketplace to proclaim the Truth of God's Word that other than through our efforts over the years, has been either void of or filled with weak and watered-down representations of His Truth!
TO INSURE WE COVER OUR FINANCIAL OPERATIONS FOR THE BALANCE OF THE YEAR, I AM SEEKING 300 PEOPLE TO MAKE A 9 MONTH COMMITMENT STARTING THIS MONTH OF APRIL. I AM ASKING 265 PEOPLE TO COMMIT TO HELP LIVEPRAYER WITH A MONTHLY GIFT OF $100 THIS MONTH THROUGH DECEMBER, 30 PEOPLE TO COMMIT TO HELP LIVEPRAYER WITH A MONTHLY GIFT OF $,1000 THIS MONTH THROUGH DECEMBER, AND 5 PEOPLE WHO WILL COMMIT TO HELP LIVEPRAYER WITH A MONTHLY GIFT OF $2,000 THIS MONTH THROUGH DECEMBER.
