THE WOMAN


Text : 1 Corinthians  11:3  

*But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.* 

 *Every part of the body has a distinctive function to play. That is how God has ordained it.* 
Hear the logical explanation from the book of Corinthians.

For the body does not consist of only one part, but of many.
 If the foot says, “Since I’m not a hand, I’m not part of the body,” that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?
 And if the ear says, “Since I’m not an eye, I’m not part of the body,” that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

But now God has arranged the parts, every one of them, in the body according to his plan.
Now if all of it were one part, there wouldn’t be a body, would there?
So there are many parts, but one body. 1 Cor.12:14-20.

So it's very clear that God has good reasons for placing order in the home. *The  man is the Head of the woman, maintaining this order is Godly.* 

I like to use the table to  analyse this point. The flat surface area is obviously the topmost part of the table and which could also be called the head of the table. 

The woman represents the legs on which the the head of the table stands. If she refused to give her support in any way, the table will lose balance. 

What people see most of the time is the flat surface of the table, but the legs actually bear the weight. The table will continue to serve its purpose once the legs are intact.

This goes to show the importance of the woman. She is created to complements the man and never to competes Gen2:18.

Everyone receives reward based on how well he or she fulfils his or her purpose.

 *When a woman knows and takes her place in the home, a good balance is maintained and the home will be a platform whereby God is honoured.* 


 *BIBLE READING* : Ephesians 5: 22-33.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, give me the wisdom and strength to nurture my marriage to fruition in Jesus name. 

2  Pray for every woman you know never to miss their God- given purpose in life.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
