TOPIC: IN THE BEGINNING: SERIES 2: The Dust And The Helper (21)
ONE YEAR BIBLE READING
Exodus 1 - 2
Matthew 15: 1 - 28
MEMORY VERSE:
Gen. 1:1
"1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
BIBLE READING:
Gen. 2:18
"18. And the LORD God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
Thinking Point:
That God gave you a helper doesn't make them slaves. Help should be reciprocal between us as dust to dust.
God is Complete. He perfects all things before bringing them to use. He thinks ahead from the beginning. He knows our needs prior to our request. After creating man from the dust, he couldn't find similarity between Him and the Angels, so a man’s like was needed and He decided to form a woman from the man (Dust) He created. Hence, a man and a woman were created.
The fact that God created a woman as a helper doesn't mean she should be rendered to home use alone, No. That you are the man of the house doesn't mean you sit while your helper lives like an errand in her house. God called the helper A Comparable Helper, talking about compatibility. Being called a helper doesn't make her a slave nor does it make you a king above her, because the bible said in Gen. 2:23-24,
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, And They Shall Become One Flesh.
What the scripture is saying here is this, you are both helper to one another because you are one flesh. You help her and she helps you too. By the virtues of being created first and as a man, doesn't make you her king and she being your slave.
Many believe it's wrong to help the women with the house chores and take care of the children, remember, whatever you do to her, you are doing to yourself.
As a woman, you feel you are in position because God has lifted you above the man of the house, then, you believed that position has changed, now the man must carry out the house chore while you become the boss, (man of the house) just because you came back tired from work, sorry, you are about to go down. You still remain the comparable helper for that man, don't be carried away. Money, wealth, position doesn't change the fact that a man is the Husband and a woman is the wife.
You are both Comparable Helper to one another, no slave, no master in your home, you both are one flesh. Treat your helper like yourself, you are to help one another.
