God gave Adam a "helpmeet". God gave men and women the Holy Ghost (The word Helper
may also be translated “Comforter” or “Counselor,” and literally means “one called alongside
to help. ...
I feel most ladies in the church do not mind at all to be a helper to her husband, but what
usually causes problems is the attitude that she is the lower of the genders. That attitude
that says " You be quite, I'm the Big IT". I personally know of a man many years ago, who
claimed to be called of God to preach. He lorded over his sweet little wife and after several
children, cheated on her, and she was left with these little ones with no job, no car, etc.!
God provided for her and her children in miracleous ways. She never married until her ex had
been gone several years after doing her wrong, and after her children were grown.
He would tell her, "You have to obey me, because the Bible says so." Disregarding that the
Bible also says, "Thou shalt not commit adultery". I realize that all men are not like this. but
many are. There are also women who do their husbands wrong too. Wrong is wrong no matter
who does it!
If God calls a man to be a pastor, etc.,. does HE not also call a "helper" to help him.
BUT the Holy Ghost/Spirit is the HELPER of both man and woman. And I believe before a
man is called to pastor, he needs to take care of his own house (wife and children) so
that he can know how to take care of the house of the Lord. How does a man who has
no children,know how to care for the Lord's family. If a preacher does not know how to
really love his fellow ministers, (brothers and sisters in Christ), how can he adequately
love (men and women) in his church. In
Cor. 2: the LORD ALMIGHTY said "And they shall
be my SONS and DAUGHTERS!! As a senior sister in the household of faith, I do not feel
love from some of my supposely brothers in Christ! Just being very honest. Could it be
that some in professing to be wise, they have become foolish!
