HEADSHIP IN THE FAMILY

God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: HEADSHIP IN THE FAMILY
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 11: 3-5  
MONDAY JULY 24TH

Key verse: 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.
By headship, I mean the one leading and overseeing the home, the pastor over the house, and the Commander-in-chief. This is the man or husband. God gave him a headship by creation, in Christian marriage, and the home. The key verse mentions three heads: God as head over Christ, Christ as head over the man, and the man as head over the woman. The Father is the head of the Trinity; the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Though they are one and equal, we see here in the redemption design that the Father is the head of Christ. When Jesus came to the world, He clearly showed that the Father was His head. The Father was the One that sent Him. He showed it very clearly. The leader of the Godhead, though one person, is the Father.  
Headship was revealed to us through redemption.  Someone must be the leader that commands actions.  Others are the followers, although we know the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one Person.    John 14: 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for My Father is greater than I.  My Father is greater than I because He sent Me into the world for the purpose of redemption. I have put aside my equality with Him. I am here to do His will. 
Philippians 2:5-9 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled  Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above every name: Jesus laid aside the rank of God He had with the Father from the beginning, took the form of a servant, and became obedient.   

Thought for the day: Headship was revealed to us through redemption.

Song for the day: We are heirs of the Father

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 41-43; Acts 24

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
