"The Head"
"of every man is Christ" (1 Cor 11:3)
Open Door Scriptures by the
Grace of GOD:-
EPH 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the
will of God,
To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
EPH 1:2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ. EPH 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual
blessing in Christ. [4] For he chose us in him before the creation of the world
to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love [5] he predestined us to be
adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and
will-- [6] to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in
the One he loves. [7] In him we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace [8] that he
lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. [9] And he made known to us
the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in
Christ, [10] to be put into effect when the times will have reached their
fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven
and on earth together under
one head, even Christ.
EPH 1:11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the
plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his
will, [12] in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for
the praise of his glory. [13] And you also were included in Christ when you
heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you
were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, [14] who is a deposit
guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's
possession--to the praise of his glory.
REV 19:11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse,
whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.
[12] His eyes are like blazing fire, and on
his head are many crowns. He has a name written
on him that no one knows but he himself. [13] He is dressed in a robe dipped in
blood, and his name is the Word of God.
Directions:-
[1 CO 1,3] Follow my example, as I follow
the example of Christ. the head
(1CO 11:3-16) Now I want you to realize that the
head of every man is Christ, and the head of the
woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies
with his head covered dishonors his head. And every woman who prays or
prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head--it is just as though her
head were shaved. If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair
cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved
off, she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his head, since he is
the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. For man did not
come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but
woman for man. For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to
have a sign of authority on her head.
In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent
of woman. For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But
everything comes from God. Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to
pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not the very nature of things teach
you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman
has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. If
anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice--nor do
the churches of God.
Word Assembled:
(1 CO 12:21 "the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need
you!")
[1CO 12:12-26] The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and
though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. For we
were all baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, slave or
free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. If the foot should say,
"Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not
for that reason cease to be part of the body. And if the ear should say,
"Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not
for that reason cease to be part of the body. f the whole body were an eye,
where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would
the sense of smell be? But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body,
every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part,
where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body. The eye
cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need
you!" On the contrary, those parts of the
body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are
less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are
unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts
need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has
given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no
division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each
other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored,
every part rejoices with it.
(EPH 1:22 "head over everything for the church")
[EPH 1:17-23]
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may
give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you
may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious
inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in
Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the
heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and
every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one
to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything
in every way.
(EPH 5:23 COL 1:18 "He is the head")
[EPH 5:11-6:4]
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose
them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But
everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes
everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on
you."
Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most
of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish,
but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads
to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with
psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the
Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of
the wife as Christ is the head of the church,
his body, of which he is the Savior.
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their
husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up
for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the
word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or
wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way,
husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife
loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and
cares for it, just as Christ does the church-- for we are members of his body.
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to
his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound
mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you
also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her
husband.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your
father and mother"--which is the first commandment with a promise--
"that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the
earth."
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the
training and instruction of the Lord.
[COL 1:15-18]
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by
him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by
him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead,
so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
(Rev 19:13b "his name is the Word of God.")
REV 19:11-16
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider
is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are
like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on
him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood,
and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding
on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth
comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule
them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the
wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
(Ps 24:7b "be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.")
Psalm 24
The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in
it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. Who may
ascend the hill of the LORD?
Who may stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who
does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive
blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior. Such is the
generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob.
Selah
Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King
of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King
of glory may come in.
Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty--he is the King of glory.
Selah
'Yes' Finale: [PHP 4:4-8]
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again:
Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be
anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which
transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever
is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is
admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such
things.LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and
be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.

to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to
keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
