there are no decons to walk in the midst so just take a walk pick the envelope put the offering write it up take it back there and God bless you as you minister through giving I will call Elder Orua for a song item thank you once again we will do the chorus only of the song the family of God the chorus only of the family of God which is a theme song let's go I'm so glad of the family of God I've been washed in the fountain clasped for his plan joint hands with Jesus as we travel this sword for I'm part of the family the family of God glad to hear you are fine I'm also fine and grateful to God for granting us as Elder Azda said the second day of this program I want to believe that you are following yesterday and if you didn't there is an opportunity to go back and see what this mango juice recipe is all about yesterday we introduced the mango juice recipe and some people had the opportunity of even sampling it and we said that the family is likened to mango juice but the Christian family is likened to not any juice but homemade juice and you still remember our little song chorus maybe you would want to sing it just once as a recap God's love is like a mango a mango sweet and ripe God's love is like a mango a mango sweet and ripe so when you see a mango remember God is love so when you see a mango remember God is love God is love mango is just an analogy today we are talking about the first mango the first mango as you can see I have one here quite big what about it the first mango in our recipe today is the husband the husband is our topic and is the person we are relating to the first mango this first mango is the one after which the juice is named we are talking about the mango juice recipe because it's named after the mango who is the mango the first mango is the husband let's pray father in the name of Jesus creator of we humans and even this mango who is the analogy we are using in this few minutes Lord give us understanding we pray this believing and trusting Jesus name when we talk about orange juice the ingredient is the orange so in this mango juice analogy then the key ingredient the mango is the man the first one and as we are going to see later the critical ingredients I remember about 17 years ago at this very altar my name got changed I was called my father's name but about 17 years ago right here there was new juice formed the juice of Mwenda's family so today what's my name Mrs. Mwenda what's in her name her name is more than identity there is more to her name than identity we are talking about mango juice recipe so this recipe this juice is called mango in my family we are called the Mwenda's what is the name of your family what is the name of the juice of your family and now even the more critical question is if I am going to use the example of where I come from the mention of Mwenda what feelings or thoughts does it evoke in me Mrs. Mwenda what thoughts and feelings does it evoke in our children you see that is what our culture that's the way our culture is we are named after our husbands our children are named after their after their father when we look at the bible we find close we find several images whereby the family is compared to the church our elder just gave us chorus here which said the same so we are told Jesus is the head of the church just like the father is the head of the family also we are called Christians after Christ and where I come from we are called Mwendas after Mwenda so I ask myself and I want you to ponder over the same question even as I wind up my analogy I want to speak to you man listening to me today you man who is a family man or you who is one day hoping to be a family man have you taken time but it really means to be the first mango in this recipe have you thought about it imagine of your young child imagine of your young child maybe the age of three then they hear that you daddy are the representative of Christ you daddy represent Christ and I'm looking at our young one and if she were told that preparing to go to heaven where we are going to stay with our daddy's representative forever endeavor will she be happy would she want to go and stay somewhere where a man who daddy represent stays and stay with that person forever will it evoke good feelings in her think about my teenage son for instance he is older than the younger one the mention of daddy what feelings does it evoke in him the thought of him and even as we are told Christ is the head of the church just as daddy is the head of the family does my son believe more in God because of my husband or does he maybe even say well if this is what Christ look like if daddy is a representative of Christ I'm afraid I'm afraid I don't want anything to do with that Jesus if you are saying daddy is representative of Jesus I'm afraid I don't want anything to do with that Jesus how about your wife the one who is closest to this name what feelings does your name evoke in them are they happy to be associated with your name mango juice recipe the first mango the one after which the juice is named I pray that you will think about it you who is already in a family and you who is thinking about getting into one if you are a man just realize that you are the first mango the one after which after whom rather the juice is named it is now my pleasure to introduce the one after whom I am named you are pastor my love welcome thank you very much my better half tomorrow I will talk about you I am talking about a man people have ideas who are perfect man is in my reflection on the Bible I have changed my definition of who a man is after I was given this assignment by Eonda Ochola I went back to the Bible and I realized I have to change my way I have been teaching family life although I am not a professor of family life but I am a philosopher as one philosopher said when you marry you become a philosopher so those who are married you are a philosopher because you can define your own marriage and no one can teach you how to run your family thank you Eonda Alois for welcoming us we want also to welcome you in a very special way because someone who gives welcome to others most of the time is forgotten we want to recognize you in a very special way as Eonda on duty today yesterday we looked at the foundations of a family the blueprint of God and we focused our mind on the family which is not created but God is about to create and for three days or four I want to look at a perfect environmental situation on family before we come to note the details of what a family is today our guiding thought is Genesis chapter 3 verses 9 Genesis chapter 3 verses 9 and before we read let's bow for our prayer Father in heaven what a privilege you have given us thank you for everyone who has participated in this exercise we pray that you are going to continue talking to us day by day let your name be glorified forever and ever in Jesus name we pray amen this morning I received two texts from friends and they were telling me to pray for them and I didn't respond to your messages and I'm praying for you and one of these days I'm going to call you and we shall talk and know one another more you told me to pray on issues I'm praying and I've given you some areas to read I believe by the end of 3-4 days I will call you to find out how you are fearing in the assignment we are doing together yesterday my friends I gave you assignment those who are at home those who are in the US and other parts of the world those who are here in the church and give assignment those who are watching and following from home and give assignment to read Fast Corinthians chapter 13 verses 1 all through to the end of Fast Corinthians that I believe there are some people who took time to read may I find from the congregation here if there is anyone who found time to read that Fast Corinthians because Angundi teacher is one who follows whether the student who are faithful in following the assignment is anyone in this congregation who trying to look at Fast Corinthians chapter 13 let's see around those who are at home I believe you are faithfully following this and I want to engage you please if possible read Fast Corinthians that was the yesterday's assignment and today I'm going to give you another assignment as we move forward from the world of God Genesis chapter 3 verses 90 says then the Lord God called to Angundi said to him where are you the question is where is Angundi in Genesis chapter 1 Genesis chapter 2 and Genesis chapter 3 is where we are going to focus our mind this week we are talking about a man in a perfect environment but I have taken you to Genesis chapter 3 verses 9 because you have looked at the analogy the man in which all the families and generation of the world are mentioned after or named after the fast mango that makes a difference that's the analogy and I want you to take you now to the Bible to appreciate what the Bible says in that condition and conducive environment without scene so far we have not entered into scene we are in the perfect environment and I believe every family is perfect at this point until when we shall reach where we shall look at the things that developed after see now we are in the environment which is perfect I assume every family to this point is perfect there is no presence of scene there is only absence of scene and righteousness only in this family but the Lord is asking and he spoke to Andram and said Andram where are you going back with me Genesis chapter 1 verses 26 I said I will be playing with these ones for you to appreciate as I do reading from God's one Genesis chapter 2 verses 26 he created man in his own image in the image of God he created him male and female he created them now we are trying to unf the message which is in Genesis chapter 1 and Genesis chapter 2 I said yesterday Genesis chapter 1 in his totality is just the introduction from the Hebrew mind and thinking they give the introduction then the details follow and that's why when you read from the Greek perspective and you read from Hebrew perspective Hebrews will give you a brief history then they continue elaborating the story and in Genesis chapter 1 the writer is just giving us a story without details and we are now going to get the details in chapter 2 looking at the first pillar of our foundation and the first pillar is the man and this is what the Bible says in Genesis now we see Genesis chapter 1 is giving the summary chapter 2 gives us the details now let's go to the details chapter 2 verses 7 hope you are following wherever you are because I want you to appreciate what is family at this particular time we don't have a family I want you to understand at this point we don't have a family but we are about to begin a family but we are looking at the first person who was created by God himself in Genesis chapter 2 verses 7 please if you have your Bible open that we may read together wherever you are the Bible says Genesis chapter 2 verses 7 and the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into him into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being now we are looking at the process in which God brought man into existence in Genesis chapter 1 verses 26 we said in the conception mind of God is making a complete creation of man is making a complete creation of a woman and in verse 27 28 is making a complete creation of children but so far we have not seen any child we have not seen the wife but we are seeing now the man coming to play in verses 7 of chapter 2 I want you to read with me again please look at your Bible this is what the one of God says again I want to bring back to you and listen and the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground handram was created from Andama handram is created from Andama in Hebrew which means from the soil and now we see soil being changed to a man an ideal situation from idea coming to a concrete concept and this concrete concept brings back now a person we can name handram now as we are talking now this handram that God created which he says in Genesis chapter 1 verses 27 and 28 and 27 he gave them a number of things to do this handram and before I give you these ones go with me again Genesis 3 9 I will play with these ones because I want you to appreciate what I have learned and I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity I created time to ask myself a number of questions and I appreciate the Bible more than I did before I came to the church hallelujah and I will not remain the same every day I am learning new concept from God's one this is what the Lord is asking handram and the question he is asking handram is the Lord God called to handram and he said to him where are you now here tells me there was a difference in creation from the time handram and Eve came into existence God took time to create and he created them though Genesis chapter 1 gives us a summary but now the details are coming chapter 2 and I want to start appreciating the details man is coming fast and number 2 God is asking a question where are you if I ask you what is this question God is up to responsibility man was given the responsibility where do you get those responsibilities chapter 1 verses 29 he gave them dominion he crowned them with honor and glory from Genesis chapter 8 verses 5b it talks about crowning this man with this glory this man is in the presence of glory without sin this man is in the perfect environment and this is a perfect man I am looking at the perfect man this week and we will find him in the bible hallelujah now I want to walk with me the journey as we search for this perfect man I want to ask men wherever you are ask yourself are you a perfect man the wife at home we have not talked about it because you have not come to existence so I assume there is no woman now this point until we will see the woman coming to play in the details now the man we are talking about this man was given to be in charge of the garden of Eden that's why our topic today is the father in charge the father in charge where are you because he was in charge of the creation that God had created and whatever God had created he presented it to Handram and this man called Handram created from the soil God is coming to ask him a question Handram where are you the concept of responsibility is coming into play for this man the responsibility that he has is because God has given him something very special he was in charge of the garden of Eden if you read the bible he was also to give attention to this land where the Lord had taken him this man called Handram and the Lord is so good that God gave him responsibility and this is what we read 2 verses 10 tells me what was in this ground but I want you other details now there was a river that went in that garden to water the garden and from there it patterned and it became four rivers I want you to appreciate the garden in which Handram was being given is a place that you can enjoy you know when people marry I want to tell you there is no better place than the garden of Eden there is no other place that we can appreciate in this one and I call upon you as we move forward you appreciate this place we are anticipating to go and stay with our Lord Jesus Christ and then this Jesus who created this man again Genesis 2 verses 9 Genesis 2 verses 9 says out of the ground the Lord God and every tree grow in that is please unto the side and good for food everything that God created was good everything that God has created was good from Genesis 1 all through to verses 25 everything was good except for man it has not been good and we will make it good tomorrow so for man is bad news it is not good for man to be alone in other ones it is bad for a man to be alone and yet since we have not reached there when we reached there we will see what the Lord has for us He placed him in this beautiful garden and in this beautiful garden I want you to appreciate this man is being given everything without any struggle before him and the Lord Genesis 2 again verses 16 verse 16 what else do we see in verse 16 of Genesis 2 verse 16 and the Lord God commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, God gave him provisions today man we look for many areas to survive we look for job to survive we do business to survive because of what will happen in chapter 3 we reach in chapter 3 I will show you why we are struggling but this perfect man was given perfect food this man was given good food this man was given good environment this man was given good water to drink and today if you don't boil water then you will start crying of the stomach in garden of end there was no stomach there was no diseases everything was perfect I want you to appreciate this as we read God's word this man was perfect again continuing reading this man I want to introduce to you this man was created in verse 7 I want to introduce something very unique in verses 5 of Genesis chapter 2 go with me and read I want you to appreciate something that comes into play and I will talk about it in Genesis chapter 3 today I'm just mentioning put a finger in it because tomorrow no, not tomorrow but the day after tomorrow so we are going to look at it Genesis 2 verses 5 please read with me before any plant of the field was in the heart and before any herb of the field had grown for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the heart and there was no man to till the ground can you put underline because I will explain to you what does this mean because the text verse 5 is like reminding us that God has not completed creation and yet in verse 1 in chapter 1 verses 1 all through to verse 20 we see that everything he created he created in order in the 3 created vegetation and we see in that vegetation what was created but this one verses 5 here it's like bringing a conflict the conflict I will handle about shrub and I will handle about this one called shrubs which is called shiak and then plant which is called asep so today I'm not handling that one until we come to Genesis chapter 3 in totality when we come today 6th if my mind is correct in my own understanding but in day 4 I will start now making some of the things that has happened to this perfect man this perfect man who was created by God he was given meaningful work to do Genesis chapter 2 again verses 15 I said our blueprint is only based from the biblical perspective so that we can appreciate where we are and where we are going chapter 2 verses 15 the one of God says this what the one of God says then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it again responsibility care concern our God is a God who cares still word of environment still word of God resources this is the man infact when we teach still word ship this should be the basis of how we teach and when God gave him this work today many men and women don't work don't want to work but there is a trend which is happening in our country today people want to go back to organic farming I don't know whether you are aware of that many people are running back to organic farming because that is where God wanted man to be and as a result of this there is a trend that that is the only way to go about today people when they get enlightened and educated they are running to the cities and towns they don't want to be in the farm where God has given us the divine work to do in the garden of Eden and those who live in the villages they live longer than those who live in the city the research is very clear they eat food which is not refined and here in the city sometimes we eat refined food but because of the situation we are in but the Lord is very gracious He will walk with us this journey as we look at this man who is in a perfect environment and the Lord says in verses 15 and 16 and the Lord God commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden you may freely eat when I look at these things something creeped in my mind that my God is so considerate that my God knows when to provide for me He knows what the man need to do and He has given us all this and here He gave that man the authority to rule over everything in verses 128 which we have read and now He knew the Creator His heart was full of righteousness of God He was full of pure emotions in the whole life of His bonda and if it's a man who joined to be in a place of quiet environment where God presences with him, guided by God Himself with no problems and man's vocation is found in chapter 2 verses 15 to 7 that God took this man to the garden He gave him responsibility to do in the garden and in the garden again verses 16 He gave what we call permissions and prohibitions permission and prohibitions let's look at the permission that God gave to Adam verses 16 please read with me chapter 2 verse 16 let's look at the permission what was he permitted this man even though he is in a perfect environment even areas where he need to guard his work and what is doing within this environment this is what I'm talking about in a calling of a man in the vocation of man in verses 15 and 17 when God put him there to work for the garden to take care of the garden He gave him permissions verses 16 what are the permission here the Lord says he commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden you may freely eat he was given freedom to eat permission so we see God gave this man permission this man called Adam he gave him permission this means freedom which means freedom open to humanity to live and develop the creation God gave him permission develop the creation he gave permission to eat things in the garden he gave permission to mention the animals by their name he gave him permission whatever he decides that what God carried and also God gave him prohibitions at the same time so God has given us prohibition and permission and we look at them in day 5 and prohibition of God what happens in our own Christian life verses 17 it tells us about the prohibition that God gave to this man he says chapter 2 verses 17 please read with me but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat for the day that you eat of it you shall surely die prohibition is don't eat that tree of knowledge that tree of good that tree of evil that tree that I have put there for you those are what I am calling the prohibitions of Adam and what happened when he did not follow the prohibitions he followed the permission he did not follow the prohibitions what happened that is for another day because we have to stick to this man who is still perfect God is preparing him in advance for the future problems that may come his way God is preparing him to know this where we have come from this is where we are going and this brings the idea the permission and the prohibition brings the idea that freedom is not limitless but it has boundaries freedom has boundaries man you have your own boundaries and the moment you forget your boundaries as a man is 100 created in the perfect environment men at home men listening to me all through the world today remember the permissions and the prohibitions of God in your own life that you will continue staying in that environment God wanted us to be throughout our life from this beginning that humanity is given free total freedom by God himself what a God we serve who did not create us as robot who created us with a conscience and gives us permission to grow to develop to make things move and to think on what we want to do and the essence of true freedom is not being able to do what you want and how you want to do it but to do the way God wants you to do it I will repeat this again true freedom is not being able to do what you want and how you want to do but to do it the way the Lord is saying that's why he gives us permission and the prohibitions we do his way so men I'm talking about the perfect men and I believe you are a perfect man so far made the name of God being glorified because all the men we are talking about in the church here are all perfect at home they are all perfect those are following us following us in our YouTube and all other channels the church has provided and I'm talking about a perfect man don't ask me pastor why are you talking about a woman because I have not reached there why are you not talking about children because I have not reached there why are you not talking about stress in the families because I have not reached there why are you not talking about divorce because I have not reached there why are you not talking about pressure in the families because I have not reached there why are you not talking about drugs in our families because I have not reached there when we reach at the prohibitions we will look at those things kufiwa kufia uli ni kuko dviyoha kwa ki ui. Nykweninema kwa kwa kakimia kwa kweninema kwa kwa kututaka kwenina deja. Bwina mw και kwa mw kwa kwa mw kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa mw, This true friendum is living in obedience to the Word of God. Allow me now to take you now further to the Bible to look at this man in church, this man who is a perfect man and look at the description of this man in the Bible now, moving from Genesis to other part of the Bible to appreciate it. I want to take you to Psalms chapter 112, the whole of chapter 112, sometimes people say there is a chapter dedicated for women, Proverbs 31, I want to tell you there is a chapter dedicated for men, hallelujah. Men we are not being left behind, there is a chapter dedicated for us men and that's now where we want now to look at this man in church, Psalms 112, verses 1 or 2, it's not long a chapter but we want to look at this perfect man who is found in the Bible. If you want to look for a perfect man when you go Proverbs 1, when you want to look for a perfect man when you go Psalms 112, when you want to look for perfect children when you go Psalms 127, I'm trying to bring this concept in our mind to appreciate now, let's read the Genesis Psalms 112 about this perfect man, this man God is talking about because God is coming from the Genesis, the writer, in fact the writer of this one and the writer of Genesis, if you try to compare what they are writing about, they have a lot of common things that we are going to learn. Here it says the blessed state of the righteous man but the righteous, but what I'm going to talk about is the man who is found in Psalms 112, I like few characteristics of a man who is in change, chapter 112 Psalms verses 1, let's look at verse 1, the writer begins with the praises to the Lord, praise the Lord for his goodness, praise the Lord who gives us a perfect environment and the righteous is blessed is the man, he has used the one under man, praise is blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in his commandments, where our commandments given in Genesis chapter 1 and 2, that's where we get these things, where are the blessings, the blessings are in chapter 1 verses 28 when he talks about blessings and now here the blessings are now profounden in this chapter Psalms 112, which says bless is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in his commandments, this man will stick in the permissions and will not walk in the war in the way of the people who don't listen to the prohibitions, this is the kind of a person we are talking about here, verses 1 says the man who fears the Lord and delights in the commandment of the Lord, he is blessed, this is a good man, hallelujah, we are talking of a good man and good man who has the blessings of the Lord and good man who praises the Lord and good man who listens and obeys God's commandment, who delights in the commandment, this is a good man who fears the Lord, now I want to say a good father fears the Lord and good father delights in doing what the Lord wants over to all other things, the good man verses 7, the good man, let's read verses 7, the good man, but in your own you can read is there only, there are only 10 verses, there are not very many, verse 7 says he will not be a friend of evil tidings, his heart is steadfast trusting in the Lord, this is a good man and good man does not fear what comes his way, he is not a friend of the evil things, he is not a friend of the evil tidings, we will look at the evil tidings and how they will come and the many ways the evil will come, but says a good man will not fear and that is the man God expecting and that's why in Genesis 3 verse 9 when the Lord is asking Adam where are you, he wanted to find where he is fearing evil now and he is running away from God because of the things that happened in his life and he is trying to run away, but says a good man is heart is steadfast trusting the Lord, a father of farm faith is not taught about by every trial that comes his way, he trusts in God, man trusts in God in your family, he will make it better and perfect, man trusts in God he will bless your business, man trusts in God he will raise up your children in his own way, man be faithful to God and he will be faithful to you, man in the bible here be what God expects you to do in the permissions and guard the provisions he has given us this day, he says the bible says again in this chapter that this man he walked in the ways of the Lord and what happens in his way, now read 3 verses 2 he says his indescendent will be mighty on heart the generation of the upright will be blessed wealth and riches verse 3 wealth and riches will be he in his house and his righteousness and jewels forever and to the upright there rises light in the darkness he is gracious and full of compassion and righteous and good man verses 5 a good man deals graciously and lends he will guide his affairs with discretion this is a good man this is a good man who this good man is gracious in his ways hallelujah i'm looking for men who are very gracious in the heights of the Lord and I pray that I will be one of those men found having grace in the favor of God and all the men we are praying and lenders be praying for us children be praying for us friends be praying for us that the Lord may help us to remain faithful to him and to have that control of his one what he want to put in our condition and this is also found in Ephesians chapter 5 28 when Paul talks about the husband he says the fast responsibility of the husband he cares for his spiritual condition a good man pays attention to his spiritual condition Genesis Ephesians chapter 5 verses 28 when we take care of our fast spiritual condition then the Lord will take care of others the Lord will take care of our career the Lord will take care of our wealth the Lord will take care of our children the Lord will take care of everything that we do because he's a God who cares he's a God who understands who we are husbands are called are invited by the Lord to lend their wives their children they church their family grace hallelujah man of grace are being spoken in this vast man of grace hallelujah man man praise the Lord wherever you are the Lord is calling us to be man of grace man of prayers rending the scriptures and making godly choices because handram in the permissions he was given freedom in the provisions he was given freedom he chose the provisions in stand of the permissions he went further to destroy that good thing the Lord has put in him and this is what the Lord is looking for us today the second thing I want you to appreciate is verses 2 and 3 I want now to read them kindly verses 2 and 3 in this chapter Psalms 112 dedicated to a man he says he is in descendant this good man wouldn't be mighty on earth he won't give them position god wouldn't give them wealth he won't give them a good name men what can you say our children god will make them great in this hard we live because god created man to inherit the heart and he says a man of good character a children will be mighty on heart or on this heart he says the generation of the upright man will be blessed the perfect man in Genesis chapter 1 created in god image and likeness this man is generation will be upright we don't be blessed can many say man many pray that this character of god will be in us the wealth verses 3 the wealth and riches will be in his house wealth and riches you can define your own wealth and your riches in your own in your own way because you know what the Lord has done to you you know what the Lord the limit he has put to you in your own environment but the Lord says wealth and riches will be in your house hallelujah man you struggle too much looking for money I do not get the money because you are forgotten the blueprints of what god intended for the families through the man the man in charge god want this man in charge not only to be faithful but also to listen to the voice of god and god will pour his blessings upon them and he says and his righteousness this good man is righteousness verse 3 still i'm reading verse 3 is righteousness a jewel forever there is no limit for god's blessings for this man hallelujah praise the lord I am so glad that the Lord takes care of me he will make my children grow he will make them successful he will bless them he will bless them he will watch at their foot steps wherever they are going the Lord will be with them this man who is gracious the Lord will also be gracious to you I was trying to look at the definition of the one the gracious grace he and gracious meaning of this one says one that shows kindness and care gracious means one who shows kindness and care god shows kind to a man god shows kind to me god is very kind to me and that's why I love him and that's why I say god is the lord of my life I call upon all men to join me in this race that we can be gracious and kind to our children kind to the church kind to our wives kind to the to the things the lord gave us whether in forms of animals or a crop god want us to be kind in his way verses nine sums 112 verses nine read with me verses nine the one of god says he has dispatched abroad he has given to the poor he is righteous is righteousness and joy forever hallelujah this man sprints is gift to those who are in need and he also conducts affairs with the justice this man now let's go to the context now verses nine of jenice let's go back to jenice's now and the crown what we are trying to say here let's go back to jenice chapter three verses nine then the god then the lord called 200 and sent to him where are you I have not given discourse of this summoning in terms of gospel but I will give this in terms of the family that the lord has created in this one here what I see in this contest god called 100 and asked him where are you because he's a father who is responsible he is a man who god had put at the place him in the garden he's asking I want to know what is happening in the creation and the things that I created god want to know a number of things number one god want to know where the wife is jenice is one verses 27 the lord says let's read here so god created man in his own image in the image of god he created him male and female he created them plural man and the woman are complete in this genesis because you have seen genesis too but now tomorrow you look at this man but may I lived something here the lord want to know where is your wife that's what the lord want to know children have not come to play but he's asking the man where is your wife may I ask men who are here in the church and those who are following us where is your wife this evening do you know where your wife is man do you know at least for me I know where my wife is because she is here I can see her and if she was not here I could not know where she is but the handamu is asking this partner question where are you but now the lord what you want to understand to explain is where is the wife here number two know where the children are the children have to come to play but the lord want to know in our demands where the children also because he is a responsible person in genesis chapter three versus nine number three the lord want to know how much wealth he has and today I would put in the context the lord want to know whether you have written your will to your wife and the children man hello man man have you written your will if you died today man I'm not praying for you to die but I want to remind you one day you will die if you died today your wife will she know where the wealth is if you are an African you will tell me if you tell your wife everything she can decide to kill you to inherit to you and you don't want to tell your children where your wealth is but the lord also want to because in the kind of women he was given the wealth and riches and this is very key my dear friends it's very key in our own thinking this is what the lord is asking we will answer those questions as we progress in our thinking the lord here want Adam to accept that his first responsibility he is to cherish her and to provide leadership and to provide for her and to protect for her according to genesis one versus 28 that is basically what we are trying to look here at as the lord speaks to us because if we will not understand what the lord has in our own thinking we will not understand what kind of leadership is going to provide in genesis chapter one he is providing leadership which is comprehensive leadership that is full of spirituality he is providing guidance and he want this man to be responsible that way he is asking him where is she where is your wife where is your wife where are the children but the children are not in the place but for now but in the mind that I want you to appreciate this what the bible says the bible wants this man to provide to have a role of a provider here god provided for him everything but in our context today a man whom god created must be a provider because when he left the garden of andan he was given now a responsibility on what to do as a man but now since you have not reached there I don't want to open the pandora box I want to remain within the context in which we want to look for a perfect man in the bible this perfect man will make nations survive hallelujah this perfect man is independent upon he will live in the presence of god he will recognize his masculine and provide leadership at home this is what dobson saying that our survival is a nation will depend on the presence or absence of masculine leadership at home the presence or absence of the man determines what kind of a family we shall have and we look at this as we move forward and during this stay Proverbs 11 verses 29 just to bring home some of the things from this is he who let's read the Proverbs 11 29 speaks of he who travels his own house will inherit the wind he who travels his own house will inherit the wind god is talking to a perfect man who will not travel his house men the lord is calling us not to travel our homes kondu want us to be good men full of inspiration as elenji white speaks here and event is home page 211 paragraph 2 she says the houseband is the houseband of the home precious binding by his strong hand nest devote tender affection the members of the household the mother and the children together here what the lord is trying to say the wife looks at the man for guidance the children must be interested in their affair in their welfare and the man must be interested in their welfare of the children he looked the children looked at the father for support and guidance the wife looked at the man for love you didn't hear that the father should do his path as god did his path to make his home happy to make the wife and the children happy as we come to the conclusion this what i want to tell you that crisis providing a model kind of a man in our families a man where a wife can look at and the children can look at as they move forward as we come to the end uh before i invite the elder to guide us on how to receive prayer requests i want to give you an assignment again for today for men fast corindians 16 versus 13 and 14 i want men to read that and share with us what you have found during Sabbath on 20th may the lord bless you thank you pastor and we thank

his wife and his children and the entire family yes father the devil came to destroy but you are happy lord that you can mend all this and bring it back just how it was in the garden of eden father i pray for that family that has lost hope i pray for that man for that woman that the vows they took in your presence and the presence of man may be renewed that joy may ring in the families and in
