WOMEN; THE CONTROVERSIAL GENDER

 Few weeks ago, I was in a meeting where a woman was addressing us. A guy at my back said why are women leading everywhere?

 I was reluctant to talk at first but later on, I was like, do you have a problem with that?

He said he doesn't just like it.

I think that will be the first time I heard someone that is not pleased with women taking the lead.

 I couldn't really engage him but those kind of men tends to see their wives success as a threat or won't even want to empower them or even the female folks.....

I know if it was a man leading, he won't talk. I believe for anyone to be in a position, it shows they have what it takes in terms of capacity, delivery, knowledge and value forgetting any biological configuration.

Women are more celebrated and appreciated when they are leading and doing great in their various fields because of the prior notion that they are weaker vessels, nothing much is expected from the gender, they ought to submit etc

Or they probably think women are weak because they are emotional.

Crying is not a sign of weakness and holding up (man up as it is popularly called) is not a sign of strength. Standing tall and coming out of the situation as a better person is what we call strength.

Wives are to submit to their husbands in the lord and not women submitting to men in any other settings. You have a problem with that? Then if your boss is a female, you can resign. I bet you don't want to try that.

The submission is in the confines of marriage.

Note the Lordship of Christ there. Your head must have a head. If not, it's dangerous. That's why Christ is rest assured about you when your head submits to him knowing fully well that he will surely direct and lead you aright.

But, why the controversy on our subject matter?

There is a spiritual track record to why women are vulnerable to a lot of negativity in our world.

The devil has been angry since God said the seed of the women shall bruise his head. The prophecy from the beginning (Genesis 3:15).

Mary; the channel through which the saviour came to the world believed in the impossible. She said be it into me according to thy word when she was told she will birth the Messiah even as a virgin. What an audacity!!!

He knows women have greater tendency to conceive and birth visions into reality.
