TOPIC: ZELOPHEHAD'S DAUGHTERS
MEMORY VERSE: "The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them". – Numbers 27:7
BIBLE PASSAGE: NUMBERS 27:1-7
INTRODUCTION: Zelophehad means, the shade or tingling of fear. A man from the tribe of Manasseh, he was part of the Israelites who left Egypt under Moses' leadership and died in the wilderness. He had five daughters but no sons and therefore no male heirs. After His death, his daughters; Mahlah, Noha, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah went to Moses to demand their father's inheritance because as women, they were not entitled to any inheritance. Moses took the matter to God and they were justified. We have Some lessons to learn from these ladies and the need to ask for our entitlements.
LESSON OUTLINES
1. THE NEED TO ASK
2. LESSONS FROM ZELOPHEHAD'S DAUGHTERS
THE NEED TO ASK
AIthough our heavenly Father knows needs (Matthew 6:8), Jesus emphasised the need to ask in Matthew 7:7. To ask is important because it is those who ask that will receive (Matth. 7:8; 1 Kings 10:13). Enquiring sheds light on a subject (Deuteronomy 32:7-8) as it brings clarity and revelation. It brings results and requests are granted (Ezra 7:6). We have access to information and become informed (Genesis 43:7-8). It resolves the question of leadership and provides adequate counsel (Judges 1:1; 20:23). Being specific in our demand gives us what we want (2 Kings 2:9-10: Matthew 7:9). It gives us access to our inheritance (Psalm 2:8). We get a good grasp of the old path (Jeremiah 6:16). Even research shows that asking questions builds emotional intelligence.
LESSONS FROM ZELOPHEHAD'S DAUGHTERS
The following are Some life lessons to learn from these ladies.
1. BEING AUDACIOUS: Irrespective of their gender and the limitations placed on women in Israel (then) they were brave (Numbers 27:1).
2. ONE VOICE: They stood in unity before Moses, the priest, and even the e congregation C of Israel (Numbers 27:1-2; Genesis 11:6).
3. GO TO THE RIGHT SOURCE: These ladies did not beat about the bush; they went to the man in charge who they knew could handle their matter and give them what they wanted. They went to the right sources. (Numbers 27:2).
4. KNOWLEDGE: They were informed and had a good knowledge of history to know those who rebelled against God and died in the wilderness (Numbers 27:3a; Proverbs 13:16; 11:9).
5. SPEAK OUT: They placed a demand on Moses to get their father's inheritance. Moses brought their matter to God (Numbers 27:4-5) and He vindicated them by granting their request (Numbers 27:7). As a child of God, you must learn to speak out and claim your inheritance.
6. EMANCIPATORS: They brought freedom to others as they raised the legal case of a woman's right and obligation to inherit property in the absence of a male in the family and a law was made to regulate inheritance in Israel (Numbers 27:8).
7. OBEDIENCE: They fully complied with the instruction God gave through Moses that they should get married only within their father's tribe (Numbers 36:6,11).
CONCLUSION: Taking what belongs to us may sometimes require some conscious, deliberate, and necessary efforts. Step out into you inheritance now.

SHOWERS OF BLESSING
There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.Refrain:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.There shall be showers of blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain. [Refrain]There shall be showers of blessing:
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come and now honor Thy Word. [Refrain]There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we're confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call! [Refrain]
