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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
