GOD’S ORIGINAL AND ETERNAL DESIGN, NOT HUMAN CULTURE OR TRADITION

FAMILY FRIDAY

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head the woman is man; and the head of Christ is God – 1 Corinthians 11:3

The scriptural headship of the male is nothing cultural. Those who preach and practice it are not necessarily male chauvinistic pigs who are harbouring misogyny. The scriptural headship of the male is nothing that can be reversed by feminism, activism, lobbying or political movements.

Christ being the head of the man and the man being the head of the woman is nothing rooted in any human culture or tradition. It’s God’s original and eternal design. Any society that has revised this principle has also revised the definition of men and women, the definition of family, the definition of husband and wife, and the roles of men and women both in the home and the church. As a result, both men and women have an identity crisis. They don’t know who they are or what their purpose is.

Denying this principle doesn’t liberate women, it hurts them. In fact, it gets both men and women out of alignment and out of God’s will for their lives. The result is sin, chaos, confusion, violence, adultery, divorce, broken homes and misery. More than that, many will face eternal punishment for having broken the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ to love and submit. It’s time to get back to God’s original and eternal design. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.

PRAYER

Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray for the church to go back to Your original and eternal design for both men and women. Bring men and women back into alignment and Your will for their lives. Help both men and women to discover their true identity and purpose in You. Amen.
