BIBLICAL PATRIARCHY IS NOT EVIL

FAMILY FRIDAY

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man – 1 Corinthians 11:8-9

God formed Adam first and then Eve. By so doing, He was instituting an unchangeable hierarchy on earth. God leads both the home and the church through males. Satan has a problem with this, that’s why he’s on a mission to discredit and dismantle God’s order.

Satan has demonised the word ‘patriarchy’ to the degree that it’s now synonymous with evil. Oppression, domestic violence, rape and femicide are not a function of biblical patriarchy. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and many others were patriarchs but they never beat up their wives, raped them or killed them. The spirit of the world that’s trying to topple patriarchy has come to the church and we should resist it.

The church should never allow herself to be intimidated by the world into comprising biblical truth. Feminism and gender neutrality are not the future of the church. Satan is trying to paint saved and unsaved men with the same brush and the church should resist this. Truly saved men don’t abuse women. They agree with righteous patriarchy but they also fear God. They therefore love and honour their wives. They don’t believe that men are trash because they believe their masculinity is for the protection, safety and security of women.

PRAYER

Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may the church resist the foul spirit of darkness trying to dismantle your righteous order. May we stand our ground because we’re led by the Spirit of God and not the spirit of the world. Amen
