A practicle application of headship

Posted : 10 Aug, 2012 07:44 AM

Headship and how to exercise headship is a mystery to most of us. It used to be to me.



To me headship is completly clear now. Probally many of you might not agree but I want to share my thoughts with you because I have proven this application of headship time and again.



It actually works.



A husband and wife are ONE. They become ONE in Spirit, Emotion, Mind and body.



You will hear from me all over this site that oneness is the very core and heart of God.



My message to the church is oneness.



Christ the Head opened the door for oneness with God by the shedding of His blood and now maintains oneness by interceeding for us on the throne of God. He prays for our oneness.



If you think about it isnt it obvious?



So our difficulty comes when we feel divided over a decision. This division breaks down the oneness of a marriage relationship.



One or both begin to feel the feeling of rejection and usually what happens we go in differing directions.



Even when the husband makes the final decision and the wife submits to his decision this in many cases does not reunite the couple in unity.



The division of hurt emotions by one or both becomes greater and before you know it both are making decisions apart from oneanother. Their is a divorce in the home. Not a legal divorce but the break down of oneness is a divorce in and of its self.



Our feeling of rejection causes us to withdraw from the other. This is common and to be expected.





So what practical headship is this. A husbands responsibility to maintain oneness with his wife through her many strong emotions and thoughts. Even when her thoughts are disrespectful or of rejection to him.



So how does a husband maintain this oneness with his wife in a division.



He takes her and leads them in prayer. He confesses their needs before God and the fear they feel.



He gives the place of headship to God. He asks God to bring unity in their lives.

Not unity in the dicision he wanted but that they will both surrender their seperate desires to God.



He leads his wife in surrendering and trusting God to lead them both according to Gods will. He leads his wife in waiting and continuing to pray until they find a path that they are unified in.



That they can be one in.



You see their is really no decision so important that we need to allow our emotions to push us and push our spouse in a direction they feel unsafe in.



When we persue a relationship with a woman. Us men are looking and working to become one with you ladies. This is our headship to maintain that oneness.

In unity of the church,



Michael
