God’s order is not something being discussed or taught in the body of Christ. Yet, it is all about order in the Kingdom of God. Let’s start off with a very important scripture in 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
The head
of Jesus Christ is God – John 14:28 28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am
going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because
I said, I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
John
14:12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do
he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My
Father.
Matthew
6:6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your
door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father
who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Order
and prayer is established by the words of Jesus Christ. We are to go to the
Father God in Jesus name.

The
head of every man is Christ – Ephesians 1:22-23 And He put all things under His
feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His
body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
1
Corinthians 11:3, "Christ is the head of man" signifies
Christ's ultimate authority, source, and leadership over men, establishing a
divine order where He holds supreme rule, similar to how God is the head of
Christ, and man is the head of woman, emphasizing roles and submission within
God's created structure, not inferiority. It means men are to follow Christ's
example, submitting to His will as their ultimate authority and source.

The
head of woman is man – Genesis 3:16 “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and
your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be
for your husband, And he shall rule over you.”
Ephesians
5:23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church;
and He is the Savior of the body.
Questions
we must ask: Who is the head of the family in most cases? Who do the
children go to first? Who do the children go for comfort first? Who
makes all the decisions for the children and family?
The
husband primary job is to nurture and love his wife and children as God loves
us. The husband is called to be the head of the wife and children.
The
husband has ignored his responsibility as husband and father. Basically
speaking, the husband fails to do what is commanded in 1 Corinthians 11:3.
The wife has become the head of the family in the majority of families because
the husband ignored his responsibility. It is the fault of the husband.
Not the wife. She is doing what the husband/ father fails to do.
The Body of Christ fails to understand this and fails to do anything to correct
this through teachings in the Bible.
Is
The church Out of Order?
This
is what I am seeing in the churches I visit over the years. I see a shift
away from God to Jesus simply by what is coming out of the mouth from believers
and the church. I hear the word Jesus throughout church service and
church functions. God is not mentioned very often in most visits. I
see the church praying to Jesus when Jesuse himself said: But you, when you
pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your
Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will
reward you openly.
I am
not taking anything away from Jesus, but God is the head of Jesus and God is
the only healer. Jesus, through God prayed for healing in His
ministry. Every prayer should start with: Father God, in the name of
Jesus………... This is honoring God’s order
Are
Women Pastors Out of Order According to Scripture? What does scripture
say?
The
following is a touchy subject in the church. There is much confusion when
it comes to women pastors as it pertains to the family and God’s order.
The spotlight is on women pastors in the eyes of the congregation and the
family. The result is the husband takes secondary role in the eyes of the
family and the church.
God
has ordained that only men are to serve in positions of spiritual teaching
authority in the church. This does not imply men are better teachers or that
women are inferior or less intelligent. It is simply the way God designed the
church to function. Men are to set the example in spiritual leadership in their
lives and through their words. Women are also to set an example in their lives,
but in a different way (1 Peter 3:1-2, 5 In the same way, you wives must
accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the
Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be
won over 2 by observing your pure and reverent lives. Verse 5 This is how the
holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and
accepted the authority of their husbands. Again, the husband is head of the
wife, Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband
is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior
of the body Ephesians 5:22-23.
The
Bible does not restrict women from teaching. The only activity women are
restricted from is teaching or having spiritual authority over men. This bars
women from serving as pastors to men. This does not make women less important,
by any means; rather, it gives them a ministry focus more in agreement with
God’s design.
God
has always been a God of order from the beginning. It is not for us to
question God’s order. It is not up for debate according to scriptures. We
cannot compromise and ignore God’s Word. Tony
