MAN: YOU ARE CREATED TO BEAR AUTHORITY.

These days, I have come to discover the main thing that happen to man which brought him below God's expectation. In so many churches today I have come to realise that the number of women that we have is more than the number of men!!! Even they have more passion for things of God than men....what happen? there is generally problem and battle about the resposibilities of man these days. Men of this generation are not just available for things of God.

What disturb me alot these days is the generation of this day's youth which I try to imagine what the future will be hmmm......but its a cry for this generation if things are not being put in place. Even the youths that suppose to be strong in God are no where to be found infact the way this generation is going it shows that the authority of man is shaking and not functioning. My prayer is that the authority God has place on our life as the head will not be mis-used in Jesus name.

According to Gbile Akanni..........

A REFLECTION OF GOD'S GLORY

'' for a man indeed ought not to cover his head for he is the image and the glory of God:but the woman is the glory of man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman is of man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but for the woman for man. For this cause ought the woman to have power over her head because of the angels. Nevertheless neither is the man without woman and woman without man, in the Lord.

For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman;also by the woman; but all things of God.''(1cor 11:7-12).

The bible says that a man ought not cover his head. There is a reason for this ''since he is the image and Glory of God, but the woman is the glory of man''.What is God speaking about particularly here? it is as if God is saying that according to His own order and ordination, He expects a man to become a complete and an affirmative representation of God in the society. God's expectation is that when anyone says, I want to see God, I want to see how the Lord look like; I want to see His power, His courage,His wisdom, His ability to Handle conflicts'', God desires to have a man to point at and say,'' i have a man here who is my image.''

Why is it that a man ought not to walk with his head bowed? It is because it will give a wrong imoression of the image of God to those who are under His authority. God is looking for a man that reflects and manifests His Glory outlook, his way of thinking and handling situations and conflicts. this is a particular responsibility that God has placed on you as a man. It is not enough to go to work and come back in the night, fall down tired and ask your wife,'' where is my food?'' That is not the reason why you are a man.there is much more to manhood than such ordinary issues.

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the 4 pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy. "Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies." "Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money." The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. "I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?" "Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. "Here, Dolly!" he called. Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up... "I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt. The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would." With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands." With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup.

Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy. "How much?" asked the little boy... "No charge," answered the farmer, "There's no charge for love." The world is full of people who need someone who understands.....
