The word for today is Order!

Good morning,
The word for today is Order!

This is the order from God.

There is a “headship” or an order of leadership in God’s family: God the Father, the Son,and the Holy Ghost, man, and woman. In Genesis 2:18 ,And the Lord God said,  It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."But I want you to understand that God is the head of Christ," (1 Cor. 11:3),Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman. This the order from God. But sin entered the world through Adam, not through Eve.  Romans 5:12 says, "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men."  This is because Adam represented humanity and creation.  When Adam fell, we fell.  This is why it says, "...in Adam all die," (1 Cor .15:22). For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;  for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake.This headship is not about having the upper hand nor is it to mean that a woman has no rights or is a second-class citizen. The creation of the woman is linked with that of the man; but here the order of sequence is given, because the creation of the woman formed a chronological incident in the history of the human race.  Lets look at this, Jesus submitted Himself to the Father and followed His leadership. Can a woman teach a man? Yes, by the order of the Word. Of course she can. We need understanding. There is a difference between teaching “over “ a man and teaching “with, to, or under the authority” of a man. Let's take a look , In Judges 4 Deborah was a prophetess (a proclaimer of God’s truth) in all Israel (vs. 4). She was also a minister of state who gave military commands to men (vs. 14).  Huldah was a prophetess who stood before men and priests, saying, Thus says the Lord God of Israel” (2 Kings 22:14). Anna the prophetess (Luke 2:36-38) served in the temple night and day with fastings and prayers “And continued to speak of (Jesus) to all.” The word says to all.  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. Thank you God for your word.Amen !
