WOMEN ARE NOT LESSER THAN MEN
“And Adam said this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Genesis 2:23 (KJV)
You can see right in the above scripture that the man and the woman are the same. The fact that God brought out the woman from the man and the woman is weak physically does not mean she is any less than the man. Secondly, the fact that God said that the woman should submit to the husband does not mean she is any less than her husband rather it dignifies her when she submits to her husband. The way God made it is that the husband should be a covering to the wife. If you remove your head from the covering, you have no glory.

God looked at the woman and saw how fragile she was and said, I want to protect her. I don’t want her messed up. So, I am going to give her somebody that is strong to cover this dignity and glory that I have covered her with. That is why God asked the women to submit. It is not to put her down or assault her. Rather it is to help her to actualize who she truly is. I don’t understand when men get intimidated because their wives are doing better than them. Your wife is being blessed, and you are offended. It is because you don’t understand the bible. If you understand the bible you should knee down by your bedside and say thank you Jesus for what you are doing in our lives.
Everything was going well for the husband and wife until Satan came into the scene. Wherever the devil enters he comes to steal, to kill and to destroy. That is why we should resist him with every fiber of our being. Fight and refuse him to give him access into your home. Don’t allow the enemy to pollute what God has done in your life. Keep the devil out of your life and out of your home. Give no room to strife for it opens the door for demonic activities.
