A Call for Order

Now we know our world is in total disarray, out of order, and out of alignment with God our Father.  This has started with the breakdown and separation of families.  Roles have reversed in the family structure in the home where the woman is running the household, because the man has left, in jail or just hasn’t taken his role as head of the household leaving the burden on the woman to run the household.  When the woman takes the role that God has called the man to do, this will cause the beginning of the trickledown effect of chaos.  This chaos has and is still showing up in today’s world.  By the man not taking his rightful role as head of the family this causes a burden for the woman to assume the role as head.  Even the roles of children has reversed.  The children today are telling their parents what to do instead of the parents telling the children what to do and enforce rules to be followed.  The children today can decide if they want to go to church or not.  They can’t be disciplined because they’ll call the authorities on you.  They are running amuck.  We know that things have been out of order from the beginning of time as in Genesis when Adam watched Eve be deceived by the devil to eat the fruit and Adam ate of the fruit too.  We see that Adam played the passive role by not interjecting his authority over the devil and his wife Eve.  This is where the fall of man in Genesis chapter 3 happens.  Adam gives up his role as head by being passive and giving his role as head to Eve.  Doesn’t this sound like our world today?  Roles have reversed.  Many homes are being led by women and nothing but mayhem, confusion, and chaos is going on.  Women are taking the role as head and God is calling for the man to take his rightful place as head of the family back.  What can be done to correct this?

Well first and foremost the man should call on Jesus for help.  Jesus can reveal to the man, that even though Adam failed to keep God’s command not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil to suffer the consequences of death, know that you don’t have to stay there in sin and rebellion against God.  For there is redemption through Jesus Christ.  1 Corinthians 15:22 confirms Jesus Christ as redeemer, “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.” Man should also come to the realization of his shortcomings, repent, and ask for forgiveness.  The man needs to turn to God’s Word the Bible in which he is to follow to get the families back on track and in alignment with God.  There should be a turning to God’s Word daily so The Lord God will guide the decision making in all that is done, said, and thought.  There should be studying of the word, meditating on God’s Word, and listening to what God is saying, then apply the Word of God to life’s situations.  We know that God is a God of order right!  Question, after God created the heavens and the earth, divided the light from darkness, making the sky, water, dry land, plants, the sun, the moon, and the stars, the birds, the fish, the animals, who did God create after the animals?  Man.  That is correct.  Genesis 1:26-27 says then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.  So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”  So we see here that God created man first, then the woman so they can rule over the creatures in the sea and on the earth.  God created man before He created woman because there is a divine order to everything.  In Ephesians 5:23, it tells us, “For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.”  God created man first because man (husband) is to be the head over his wife as Christ is head of the church.  Creating the man first is all part of God’s divine plan and order.  Stayed tuned for A Call to Order Part II.
