Christ the Head of the Home

When Jesus came to earth, He was our example of how we could enter, again, into this intimate relationship with the Father. Jesus stated,

"I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." *** John 14:6

If man is to come again into God's courts (His presence), then He must come by the order that He has set; no other way is available. Jesus spoke of those who tried to enter into His presence some other way.

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." *** John 10:1

God has a set order, and that set order is established in headship. If we are to enter into His courts with praise, we must submit to the headship as established by God. We must follow and adhere to His order in every area of our walk in Him.

The church at Corinth was the most worldly church in which Paul ministered. Both of his letters to the church were written to establish order; God's order in the operation of the church, the home, man's relationship to God, his wife and his children. When Paul addressed headship, it carried through every level of human existence in relationship to their God. Paul stated,

"The head of every man is Christ," *** I Corinthians 11:3.

Paul revealed that "Christ" is the head of every man. The Holy Spirit set a Kingdom principle of order to which we must adhere. If we are to become the king's domain, we must learn this principle of order. When we come to an understanding of this order, then we will be able to enter boldly into His presence and will be seated with Him in heavenly places in the Spiritual Realm.

If the headship of Christ is to be established in our lives, our total desire must be to uncover or unvail our head and come into His presence (courts). Thomas asked Jesus, "...How can we know the way?" Jesus said, "I am the way..." *** John 14:5-6. Jesus is our example. He gave us this example that we should follow His steps. *** I Peter 2:21

When our head (Christ) has been revealed (unvailed); then our lives are brought into total submission to His voice. And when His will and authority have been established in us, we will know the power that will bring us into sonship. John recorded,

"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God..." *** John 1:12

God's order must be established. Our Head must be uncovered if we are to enter into His presence. Worship and praise must be established in our lives. We must come into total subjection to His voice and His will. Then will we know God's power and authority in our lives. Then, and only then, can we claim His promises in our lives.
