The concept of headship does not denote qualitative or essential difference. It denotes responsibility and accountability, not superiority. Now this does not mean the man should be a chauvinist, it means equality of the sexes in personal worth, but distinction in function and responsibility. Now the whole breakdown of this system God has put in place, is men and women have turned away from God.
Lord, Paul issued a principle of order for application in our homes and the Church. "As Christ is the head of every man, husbands are the head of the house, and God is the head of Christ. But our disobedience has interfered with Your, order of all things in our lives. Father, we come praying for our men, Lord, give them the courage and heart of David, the perseverance of Job, and the faith of Joseph. So, they will become great leaders, the head and not the tail; better fathers and husbands. Father, help them be godly men that make wise decisions, exhibit kindness and loves others based on a godly standard, not a worldly standard. Lord, let not the challenges, set-backs and flat out failures, especially in relationships, deter them. Father, help us choose men who are God-fearing, men of truth, those who hate bribes, but love Justice and equality. Lord, put these God fearing men over the people to rulers and lead our homes, schools, Churches and communities. Father, help our men stand up and be in the position of authority, You created and keep us humble, with understanding and forgiveness, so our family life will be restored to order, in Jesus name Amen
