But among the Lord’s people, women are not independent of men and men are not independent of women. For although the first woman came from a man, everything comes from God. -1 Corinthians 11:11(NLT)
MEN EQUALS WOMEN
A poem and essay by ILMA
Men have gifts of physical strength and provision
Women are to nurture and have compassion
Men are to love their wives just as they love themselves
Women are to respect husbands and submit and serve.
For although the first woman came from a man
Men do not have greater power over women
Everything comes from God and both are equal
They both have different calling which are not identical.

So many books have been written about gender differences. Some authors may write about the superiority of the male over the gender specie. Society have limited and stereotyped the roles and abilities that men and women can and cannot do. These messes up a lot of relationships and even identity roles that people play. There are many lies that the enemy perpetuates to destroy human relationships especially between two different genders.
The truth is that women and men are equal in the eyes of God. Although it says that Eve was taken out from Adam’s bones, it doesn’t mean that he is superior over her. Everything comes from God and he made all human different and distinct they all have different calling in his kingdom.
PRAYER
Lord, teach me to accept those differences I see in others.
REFLECTION
Why do you think God created man and woman equally?
