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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
