Father, why are there so many women who desire a relationship with You, but so few Men? There are so many women without Godly husbands who lead the family in spiritual matters. Many Godly women have been forced into divorce because of the actions of ungodly men. I am amazed that the numbers of Godly woman seek genuine Christian men, but few can be found.
“Many are called, but few are chosen. My Spirit has called for many to come to Me, both men and woman. Woman, by nature has the desire to depend on the man, because woman was taken from man, and was created to be a helpmate to him, and submit to him. Man by nature was created to be the leader, physically and emotionally stronger to protect, to initiate, to be self sufficient, and to support and lead the family in the way they should go. Because of sin, the authority given to man has been corrupted, and the position given to woman has also been corrupted.
Because man is more independent, self sufficient, seeking his own objectives and desires, he has a tendency to rebel against authority, especially if he perceives himself to be the stronger, wiser, or more powerful. Mans natural response is to dominate, and not allow those who are weaker, to manipulate or rule over them. Self-centered men and woman alike tend to seek and gratify their own lusts, for their own carnal purpose. So many men seek to dominate and control woman, rather than loving, nurturing and leading them through example.
Men were created to initiate and lead through example; women were created to be responders to both positive and negative stimulation. To a man who loves, respects, honors and nurtures his wife, the natural desired reaction will be to give back to him the same.
The reason there are more woman in the Church is due to their created nature, to submit to a man who genuinely loves her, and displays a sacrificial love toward her. The image and example they seek is ‘Christ the Good Sheppard’, who fulfilled the nature of man they desire. Woman by nature are mothers that nurture their children in need, and desire also to be nurtured. They are more emotional, and less inhibited to express their feelings, in love, fear, depression and others. Because they are the weaker, they desire to hold on to those who are stronger than they are, for security and protection. Man was not only created to be the head of the family, but also the heads of the Church. When the man fails to fulfill his ordained role as spiritual leader and head, woman, through default have taken over that role. Because of passivity and a lack a willingness to commit to my spiritual authority, I have allowed woman to take over many of the roles that were once dominated by men.
It is no surprise that the adversary has sought to destroy the marriages and the proper role of the man and a woman, and a husband and wife, which is characterized in the leadership of many Churches.
I AM building a remnant of those who are being prepared to lead. Who are willing to assume the roles of their created destiny? In My kingdom there is a need and calling for committed, obedient, mature, disciplined and spiritual fathers in the faith, who are willing to lead through example.”
