original lives

SUMMARY: The story of the daughters of Zelophehad in the book of Numbers is a powerful reminder of the importance of questioning the status quo and fighting for justice, especially for women who historically had no legal status or inheritance rights. These five women dared to challenge the system and went to Moses to ask for their father's inheritance, which was traditionally only given to male heirs. Their bravery and determination led to a change in the law that allowed women to inherit if there were no male heirs. The message for us today is to listen to our conscience and not be afraid to question authority or challenge injustice, no matter how small or insignificant our actions may seem, as they can lead to significant changes in our families, communities, and even nations.
The speaker encourages people to question authority and make changes when something isn't right. However, it's important to first entrust the cause to the Lord and seek wisdom and discernment from Him. The speaker shares a personal story of how he helped a family regain custody of their daughter who was suffering from schizophrenia and had been taken by the mental health department. Despite facing opposition from the authorities, the speaker trusted in God and was able to win the case and reunite the family. The speaker emphasizes the importance of having the right spirit when questioning authority and seeking change.
The speaker shares two personal stories about intervening in difficult situations to bring justice and make a difference in people's lives. They encourage listeners to dare to question and challenge oppressive situations and commit their cause to the Lord, who can change minds and bring justice. The speaker emphasizes that anyone can be an agent of change and make a difference in the world with God's help. They also pray for a woman's daughter and ask for protection for her. The sermon ends with a call to be original and bold in standing up for justice.

In the book of Numbers, in Chapter 27, I want to preach and develop this topic in honor of our mothers, it is a topic that has to do with a group of women, the daughters of Zelophehad, a member of the Manasseh tribe in Israel.
The Book of Numbers is a book that tells the story of the Jewish people during their pilgrimage in the desert, when Israel was establishing itself, institutionalizing itself, establishing the laws, the institutions that were going to govern that nation upon entering the promised land. And this passage gives us an illustration of how that process of institutionalizing that nation was, and it is a very curious story. I stumbled upon it two or three days ago actually because I've been reading the book of Numbers in my devotional time, it immediately came to mind, wow! What a more appropriate and appropriate passage to preach during Mother's Day, because it shows us the power that women can have many times to sweeten life and bring justice to the world and even change the course of history.
