The position of the woman is that
of a helper. Genesis 2:18
A helper is someone who assist
another fellow to accomplish a task. God gave the man the task to manage the
earth and to multiply in it. The duty of every woman is to help the man to
accomplish the God given task. Not the
man’s own task but the God given task. Women with visions that cannot be
submitted under their husbands will always find it difficult to survive in
marriage.
Jesus said to Paul while he was
stroke by lightening on his way to Damascus in act 9:5 that It’s hard to kick
against the goads. Meaning it’s impossible to undo God’s agenda regarding any
issue. Any woman who believes she is too important to submit to the husband
will remain unmarried or will crash out of marriage in no time. Because she is
kicking against the goads. No man can
win over God’s word, to kick against the goads is to try to fight against God’
word.
In every field of expertise there
is always a helper. The doctor has nurses who help them administer drugs to
their patients. They watch over their health conditions and report back to the
doctor if they suspect something unusual.
They will be consequences on the
action of any nurse who try to take the position of a doctor in the health case
of any patient if anything goes wrong with that patient.
For the fact that a nurse wears a
white robe with the doctors doesn’t make him or her a doctor. For the fact that
a woman is industrious, spiritual and successful doesn’t make her the head of
her husband and home.
Put a lawyer in the hospital to
look after a sick patient and you will have corpses all over that hospital in
no time. Same applies if you put a doctor in the court room to be legal
councilor and you will have criminals and murderers roaming the street freely
after committing atrocities.
The
misplacement of duties and placement in marriage has succeeded in taking the
rate of divorce in our present society to an unspeakable height.
One duty of the woman is
submission to the man. Ephesians 5:22-24
God made it very clear here that
just as the Church is subjected to Chris who is the head of the church and the
savior of the body so let the wives be so to their husbands. There’s no such
thing as a man’s and woman’s equality in marriage.
God is not an author of Confusion;
He knew that there will be conflict of interest if He makes them equal that is
why he placed one in the position of leading and the other helper so they can
both accomplish His purpose here on earth.
The world’s philosophy of a man
and a woman been equal in marriage has destroyed the institution of the
beautify gift of marriage given to us by God.
Scripture references: Ephesians
5:22-29, Genesis 2:16-25,
Deuteronomy 7:1-4; 2 Corinthians
6:14, John 2:1-11, Genesis 1:27
Matthew 19:4-6; 1 Corinthians
7:1-16
Friends lets rise up to the
occasion and stand for the institution of marriage in our community, family and
nation as we constantly intercede for marriages.
Shalom!
Food for thought: It
is only after God created WOMAN that He (man) could rest
