I hope this one goes to blow your mind. Well, it did to me and all who heard it that day. Ohh! It was just this Saturday that has gone by, at a Christian fellowship, I attend sometimes in the mornings on Saturdays with my mum. Although she’s more regular there than I am, not that I’m proud of it but I sure do learn loads anytime I go there. Well let’s skip the fundamentals and get on to the real facts. For point of information you might want to take your Bible along with me on this, because you surely will wonder why you didn’t see this all this time. Second point of information, if you are a man just like I am don’t get jealous…:) There’s more to women than meets the eye. Let’s get on the road.
Since we are going to start something extra-ordinary here, let’s take the first book of the Bible, Genesis. That’s where we first get to meet woman. Do you know that woman was the last thing God created on the six day? Check your facts well, the Bible created Adam (the man) and after that he caused man to sleep then woman was made out of man’s rib, right? Good! Hold that thought, we’ll come back to it. Did you also notice that with every day that God created, he looked at it and said it was good? Sure you know that. Don’t lose focus yet! Refer to Genesis 2:18, you there? If the Bible is yours and there’s no mistake in it, sure there isn’t! You would be reading this or similar to it, “And the Lord God said, ‘It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him’” Did you see that? So when you turn to the same chapter verses 21 and 22, we see that God made woman, right? Now here’s the first revelation, in the beginning when God made woman; He said she would be man’s helper, correct? Good! Now we in this world have mistaken that word to mean labourer, which is wrong!!! Take that from the beginning, woman wasn’t washing man’s clothes because man didn’t have any. Woman wasn’t cooking for man because there was all the food in the garden already made. Now don’t get me wrong, men. I’m not saying a woman shouldn’t cook, or wash, or tidy up or clean. Don’t treat woman like she’s a labourer and you marry her to serve you. Man! You’d better woken up already; that wasn’t God’s original plan, and we’re here to correct it. Notice in our scripture above that, God said he was going to make man a helper comparable to him, not in service or bondage to him. If grammar means anything, there’s a huge difference between the words.
Wait a while for the second revelation. Notice again in this same scripture in the verses 18 that before woman was made, God said it is not good… now turn to Chapter 1:31. By this time God had finished creating woman, note she was the last to be created. Notice what happened, after the woman was created. “Then God saw everything that He had made and indeed it was very good…” People! Did you notice that before woman came, it was not good, but after woman was created, God looked at everything and said indeed it was not only good but very good? Woman therefore became the perfection of creation.
Now this stage we are going to get to, only the tough minds can understand this, I pray yours is… 
I know many times men have always tried to get back at women when it came to the issue of why the woman had to allow herself to get tricked into eating the fruit. Right? Well here goes something not nothing. You know we made a point that woman was actually the perfection of creation, remember? Yeah! So let me put the sentence in correct grammar. The devil tempted the woman and not the man because, of the perfection and the very good nature of what the creation of woman added to the world. If the devil managed to destroy the woman then he would have reversed the order. And that’s what he did until salvation came from Christ. You notice in every culture from the foundation of the world, the woman has been suppressed and made so low. Why? The devil doesn’t want women to perform and experience the perfection in which God made them; and the more poor the society the worse the women are treated. Sure you have realized that when there’s a woman leader anywhere there’s a great change, and you know the funny but interesting thing, “men know it and since long ago, they have tried to resist the woman.” King Solomon, the wisest man ever with all his wisdom claimed that behind every successful man is a woman, why? They are the needed drive. Whoooooooosh, you think for a second that it is a woman writing this script, I’m sure I’m a man and proud of it but the truth has to be said. If you won’t say it, I will. I’m sure you will like to pass this message on to your spouse, your girlfriend, your future wife, your mother, and all other people who know and are willingly to accept the truth.
