One of the reason why the 17th and 18th century had powerful men- ranging from inventors , discoverers, innovators, conquerors, educators , revivalist and reformers was because the “women stood by their men”.

Women took their place as “helpmeet”.

HELP MEET:
“And the YeHoVaH Elohim said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18).

An Help Meet is a woman with the Power to Serve.

Ezer Kenegdo– Help Meet

Things changed one day when I learned more about the Hebrew words translated as “help meet” in the King James Version of the Bible..

The phrase translated as “help meet” comes from two Hebrew words, ezer and kenegdo.

Ezer means “help,” but in a distinct way. In English, a “helper” is sometimes thought of as someone in a low position, but ezerdescribes strength. It suggests that the individual has power to rescue others. Ezer is used 21 times in the Old Testament, always describing a person with the capacity allowing one to help, protect, or aid.

In most of these cases, ezerdescribes the way God offers help to rescue humankind. A woman is not in your life to keep you comfortable she is in your life to make you an accomplished!

Though its meaning is less definitive, scholars agree that kenegdo means “corresponding to” and “opposite to.” It describes two things that are next to each other and complementary to each other, but different from each other—like facing opposites.

Putting these two terms together, we see that ezer kenegdo suggests that God created Eve in counterpart to Adam, with the power to rescue and serve. “Help meet” is not a label of inferiority but an acknowledgment of strength!

How the Decline Began!

While the calling to serve and nurture has often been portrayed by society as weak or inferior, ezer kenegdo teaches that part of the woman’s God-given nature includes a strength to serve.

The first wave of feminism took place in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, emerging out of an environment of urban industrialism and liberal, socialist politics. The goal of this wave was to open up opportunities for women, with a focus on suffrage. The impact of this movement is the removal of “women” from their God assigned place!

Did you ever hear about Susan Wesley the mother of John and Charles Wesley? Did you hear about Sarah Edwards ? The wife of the revivalist Jonathan Edwards. Sarah Edwards was a Puritan who took her faith very seriously. She raised her eleven children, largely by herself, as Jonathan Edwards focused on sermons and books. She took her place and allowed her husband to shine!

The woman standing by her husband doesn’t dim her light. It brightens her the most.

One of the instrument for the re-education of the children in the 21st Century is the Drag Queen idea .

Who is a drag queen? is a person, male or female who uses drag clothing and makeup to imitate and often exaggerate female/ male gender signifiers and gender roles for entertainment purposes. Historically, drag queens have usually been gay men, and have been a part of gay culture.

The objective of the drag queen is to mislead your children, by emphasizing the child power of freedom over their parent. In addition, the child’s power over the spiritual, moral and ethical rules of the Creation. Once they can attack the subject of “assigned gender” they snatch your child’s identity, by sowing confusion and a hatred of God in them.

PROGRESS DOESN’T LOOK ALIKE

What is progress ?  It is a forward or onward movement towards a destination. What if you are making a forward and onward movement towards the wrong destination? You see, progress is impossible to measure without knowing the destination, the purpose or the task. 

   What people celebrate today is MOVEMENT not PROGRESS. A person can be successful in their MOVEMENT politically, religiously, career , ministry , music and arts yet they have not made progress. Whilst progress focuses on destination , movement focus on “doing” without “being.” 

Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD. “ Jonah 1

The story of Jonah reminds us how Jonah is given a mission to Nineveh to preach against it. Instead, Jonah runs (movement) to Tarshish. Jonah’s progress is measured by his obedience to go to Nineveh, not his movement to Tarshish. If Jonah became successful in Tarshish society would applaud him never knowing Jonah’s success is not “Progress” he is in disobedience. 

And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest.” Luke 12:16

The parable was about a rich whose ground yielded an abundant harvest. He misinterprets movement for progress. The abundance of harvest is was NOT progress it was movement . 

Don’t stop at movement

And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’Luke 12:19

What is the reason for my abundance harvest? What is the use of my abundance? Is my abundance for my merriment or for Kingdom

Advancement? The rich man’s abundance was for himself alone, for his ego, for Fortune 500. He wanted to boast , he is a self man millionaire. 

But Elohim said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself.” Luke 12:20

He is a fool who makes movement without progress. 

The Kingdom Legacy Project Has taught me a plenty truth on faith and the favor of YeHoVaH. Indeed, the power of partnership and generosity is how Elohim does His work on the face of the earth. Truly, if there is a vision there is a provision through Elohim and his people .

Since we dedicate the Kingdom Legacy Project we have trained new disciples, held outdoors campaigns and record new attendance in every services. The Feast days have been a remarkable blessing. Not to mention the phenomenal miracles, signs and wonders.

“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Messiah. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Yeshua Messiah.” Galatians 1:10-12

A leader must be free from human dependency

The leader must be fully sustained by the Most High

In the above text, Paul is free from human dependency, his ministry has no man as crutches. People are free to come and people are free to go. Paul is not playing the people pleasing game.

OFFENDED PEOPLE:

The hardest people to deal with in a ministry is an offended person. Because of fear of offending people many pastors hold back truth, as a result their influence is grossly reduced.

An offended brother is harder to win than a fortified city, and disputes are like the bars of a castle.” Proverbs 18:19

When offended people leave. They stop building, they stop giving and they stop supporting , they stop following .

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Then said Yeshua unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. John 6:66-68

When people get offended they quickly forget how impactful your ministry has been, how you have been a blessings to them, how you have help them grow.

Proverbs 18:19 says, “An offended brother is harder to win…” Why? All an offended person care about is leaving. They leave the ministry , the leave the position, they leave the task, they leave the group.

Leaving is the tactics of offended people. They know that “their leaving” will create questions in the minds of people, leaving will sow doubt in faithful followers. Leaving will reduce number. So offended people use leaving the ministry to punish the leader, or to hold him hostage.

THE LEADERS VICTORY

Don’t be overly concerned about who leaves or who stays. Never beg those who leave to return. Don’t give people too much power over you. John 6:33 tells us , that Yeshua turned to the other disciples and ask them if they too want to leave.

Yeshua didn’t lay hands on anyone to solve their financial problems. Few months after Yeshua’s departure Peter said to the man at the gate called Beautiful, “Silver and gold I have none…” Acts 3:6
This means we must begin to learn the principles of kingdom money management and multiplication .

As your read through the book of Acts Chapter 4 into Acts Chapter the apostle eventually mastered the law of time management, the law of delegation and the law of distributions. This resulted in the early assembly becoming wealthy and economically blessed. During famine in the early days of the church they had abundance.

It will baffle the mind of most of my reader to hear that Yeshua was once a carpenter . Carpentry? No way! Yes He was. Nobody knew him once, nobody believed in him, nobody saw his potential as a healer .
In the 30 something part of his growing up life he was in a trade because his earthly father Jospeh was a Capenter: Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas“ Mathew 13:55

Becoming You

Perhaps someone reading this is a sewage cleaner, toilet washer, a gate man, a janitor, a shoe shiner etc . Don’t forget that what you are doing does not define who you will become. You are passing through a stage, a season to discovering your true calling.

Rejection and Disappointment

Some doors will be shut against you , some people will reject you and some will not call you back , don’t worry. Rejections and disappointments are road to travel to discover your “Higher Self”.

Give it Time!

People shine when they become Themselves, Find themselves and Know themselves. It takes time to come into yourself or to embrace your calling . The spot light is for those who become themselves.
