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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
