The WIFE, man's Helper

After creating man, God placed man in the Garden where everything was in its fulness. God gave Adam DOMINION and the RESPONSIBILITY to tend, guard and keep Eden- (Gen 1:5). Adam did not come from Rags to Riches but the moment he was created, he was filthy rich. Even if the animals would queue before him for their names, Adam still needed a "HELPER" - (Gen 2:18).

If somebody needs a helper, it means he has a "PROBLEM". In this case, God noticed the problem and his solution was not MONEY, a JOB, CHILDREN, neither was it another MAN but a "WIFE". Therefore, the purpose of a wife in marriage is to solve Adam's problems.

As soon as she gets married, the woman has to have TOOLS to research the problem and find SOLUTIONS them. Surprisingly, Eve went out of her prerogative,instead of helping, she was busy with the fruit trees where she later met the snake. A lot of women will do that, seeking all sorts of other things. Window shopping becomes the main thing. They end up complaining to the Pastor that Adam has a problem, of which that's the exact reason for their being. When God saw the PROBLEM, he created the WOMAN not the PASTOR, Councillor or Auntie.

On the other hand, Adam should never think that it is Eve who has a PROBLEM.A lot of men think they are HELPING women. This thought is not consistant with scripture.

It is Eve's duty to find out the problems and solve them. Why is it Adam does not want to bath. Prepare for him a warm bath or do it together. Why is Adam coming back home late? Give him a special treat. Find out why? May be its the braai, or TV. There is nothing that Eve cannot do for her man so that he doesn't go out-wherever.

Don't leave this duty in the hands of mistresses (small houses). In fact dont accept such nonsense. Pray for your husband Eve. "From your mouth to the ears of God"- he will come back home. Study what he wanted there, maybe its just the simple things that you used to do when you were boy and girlfriend. Spoil him.

If the HELPER takes her position, as in the PLAN of God, marriages will be STRONG and so as our COMMUNITIES and NATIONS ultimately. "...and they will live happily ever after!!" Be blessed!

Beyond self

My own thoughts I tire of

When they tend to bland

I cannot bear the thought of them

In a weary land I seek a refreshing

I seek the creative energy of others

What is this?

If not the hopeless finitude of our wisdom

For even as I find enjoyment

In the bosom of another

I suspect my position is true for the other

Which means left to self long enough

Put a figure of time if you may

But left to our own devices long enough

We inevitably come to saturation point

Soon its decay, natural law dictates

This is true for all energy sources

Every output given length of days is exhausted

Unless of course we find a source

Apart, apart from us outside us

A well of endless wisdom and power to draw from

Uncreated, self causing, self sustaining

Have you not known?

It is impossible for God not to exist

Have you not heard?

The Lord is everlasting God

He does not faint or grew weary

His understanding is unsearchable

He gives power to the faint

And to him who has no might

He increases strength

The beginning

And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. - Gen 1:28 (ASV)

This seems to be more than a bare permission but a direction and an advice to man. Having dominion over Eden, on a smaller scale, Adam was going to be able to fill and subdue it. If he managed to be faithful and able with little, his territory was going to be expanded and so as his rulership. Mat 25:14

God does not give us more than what we can handle. Just enough that we can get used to the idea of more. One has to grow, increase capacity, enlarge his/her tents for more. If Adam was able to manage Eden, he was going to see his rulership, his Kingdom expanding around the whole earth. God qualifies us for promotion.

That is how the Kingdom moves. The Kingdom of God is in motion. He who rules his spirit is better than he who takes a city. See Prov 16:32. It starts with managing one's self. You have to start by managing the private facet of life before venturing much into the public one. Then God begins to give you cities, and Nations.

The Kingdom of God is within us. Luke 17:20-21. We therefore need to pread it buy proclaiming the Word of God. This is the time. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Then God will give us more.
