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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
