"Likewise, ye husbands, dwell
with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the
wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs
together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not
hindered." 1 Peter 3:7 "And Adam was not deceived, but the
woman being deceived was in
the transgression." 1 Timothy 2:14
I want to look at a woman's weaknesses, and yes, ladies we
have weaknesses contrary to popular women's rights movements
think. It is not
"I am woman hear me roar"; that is totally wrong and is a
"high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of
God" (II Corinthians 10:4)
not to mention rebellious. You are not the neck that turns
the head either, do you know why? Because the woman is the
weaker vessel and she
is easily deceived. Look at our verses above; the Bible says
that the woman was deceived and that she was in a
transgression. The Devil came to
Eve and stroked her pride, played on her emotions and
deceived her, but Adam was not decieved and when she handed
him the fruit, he partook of it
willingly with his eyes wide open knowing of the
consequences. The woman is the weaker vessel but we don't
like to admit it and most of us are not
on guard against being deceived. Whether we like to admit it
or not, God has made us to be weak, to need protection, to
need guidance and even
spiritual discernment at times and He has provided a man,
whether it be a husband or a father to keep us from being
deceived. That is one reason
why a woman should never preach, teach or usurp authority
over a man. That is talked about in the passage of I Timothy
2 in verses 11 & 12,
"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I
suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the
man, but to be in
silence." The Devil will always puff us up in pride or he
will play on our emotions using our flesh to deceive us.
Study the passage there in
Genesis 3. The first thing that the Devil did was to put
doubt in Eve's mind about what God had said and that is
exactly the way he tries to
deceive us. He may use a person to do it; young
ladies, don't let some slick tongued man tell you how good
you look and show you a little
attention and deceive you. Until next time may the Lord
bless you.
