Genesis 2:18 | The Mystery of Your Helper #alphahour

Brief Summary

This video by Pastor Elvis Agyemang discusses the importance of understanding partnership in marriage as outlined in the Bible, particularly focusing on Genesis 2:18, which highlights the need for companionship and support in a relationship. It explains that the role of a spouse, specifically the woman, is one of divine assistance, aimed at uplifting and supporting the husband. Prayer plays a significant role in recognising and valuing each other's contributions within a marriage, encouraging both partners to actively seek and acknowledge their roles as helpers.

  • The importance of marriage as a partnership ordained by God.
  • Understanding that each spouse has a specific role as a helper to the other.
  • The significance of prayer in recognising and valuing each other’s presence and partnership in marriage.

The Need for Companionship

Pastor Agyemang opens with Genesis 2:18, which states that it is not good for man to be alone, emphasizing the divine intention for companionship. He suggests that while one may desire a good marriage, it is equally important to focus on becoming a good partner. The pastor notes that it is essential for individuals to appreciate the role their partner plays in their lives, rather than merely expecting a good relationship.

Understanding the Role of a Helper

The pastor explains that God did not create a woman merely to be a companion but as a helper suited for man. He stresses that this divine help comes in human form, and it should not be underestimated as just a role but viewed as God’s special provision. This chapter highlights how grace was demonstrated as a form of assistance, especially through the depiction of the woman created to support man.

Recognising Grace and Help

Pastor Agyemang discusses how grace, as a divine concept, is essential for human relationships. He stresses that grace can be rejected when individuals do not recognize their need for help. Prayer is crucial in this context; he encourages individuals to pray for a deep understanding of their relationships and the roles they play. This points to the necessity of being aware of one's state and the importance of making space for divine intervention in marriages.

Prayer's Role in Marriage

In this section, the pastor talks about the significance of prayer in marriage, indicating that both partners should pray for awareness of their need for each other. Women should intercede for their husbands, asking for their eyes to be opened to recognise the help they bring. The focus shifts to the men’s responsibility to ensure that the grace they receive from their wives is not corrupted or defiled, calling for continuous prayer to safeguard their relationships.

Understanding the Attack on Relationships

The pastor warns about external influences that can corrupt the help or grace within a marriage. He mentions how in Genesis, it was the serpent that approached the woman, indicating an attack on the very helper God provided for man. This highlights the importance of women being discerning about what messages they receive, reinforcing the role of women as protectors of grace within the dynamics of their relationships.

Empowerment versus Perversion

Pastor Agyemang critiques the movement towards women’s empowerment, cautioning against messages that distort the true essence of their role as helpers. He warns that misguided empowerment can turn women into adversaries rather than partners in marriage, underlining the need for women to nurture their understanding of being a divine support system conducive to resolving issues.

Prayer for Awareness and Understanding

The final part of the sermon encourages both men and women to pray for clarity and understanding of their roles within marriage. Men should pray for the ability to see their wives as God’s help and women should seek protection against harmful messages. The emphasis on mutual prayer reinforces the theme of active participation in fostering genuine partnerships rooted in divine purpose.

0:00 My God. >> Genesis 2:18 Genesis 2:18 >> Take glory, Holy Ghost. Take glory, Holy Ghost. >> [music] >> I am born again. Take glory, Father. >> [music] >> Take glory, >> [singing] >> Son. >> [music] >> Take glory, Holy Ghost. I am born again.

0:45 >> Genesis 2:18 Let Let me read the verse. NLT said, "Then the Lord God said, 'It is not good By the time I'll finish, maybe this week in overflowing grace. The papa could be video. God will set your MARITAL PATH RIGHT. HE SAID, "THEN THE LORD GOD SAID, DO YOU KNOW YOU don't need a good marriage, but you must be good for the marriage. You don't just need a good marriage. Uh it's your goodness that will compliment the marriage to make it good. So these things I'm talking about is not

1:30 more of marriage, but more of us that must make the marriage. He said, "Then the Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone.' And if you are listening today for the first time, you should go back to yesterday. That's where you get a foundation of a certain problem men don't know. And he said, "I will make a helper who is just right for him? I'll make a helper. I He didn't promise him I'm going to make a woman. He didn't promise him I'm going to make any He said I'm going to make a helper. So, as far as heaven is concerned, it is God's

2:15 special help. But, it was presented in another human. So, it's an error for you to just see that entity as just a human. That entity is a help God promised. But, when God promised, he didn't choose to let the entity come in money, in a bed, in a car, in a house. He chose another version of human for the man and called her the woman and brought her. Grace is actually God extending help.

3:04 The last time when we fell in sin, and when God wanted to help our iniquity and draw us out, he presented his help in the form of somebody called Jesus Christ. And in the garden, when he wanted to help man over a problem man himself doesn't know, he presented another help, extended grace in the form of a woman and gave him to the man. Now, to balance the equation, listen, we are going to pray a very short prayer. And we must pray it. If you're a young person, pray it. If you are married, pray it. The balancing of the equation is simple.

3:51 A man who is who is in a state of being risky. It is a risky state that he stands alone. That man is in a state that is too risky for him to stand alone. Yet he doesn't know what that risk is. So one of the things is that it's possible that man can reject grace because he doesn't even know that he needs help. There are many people still in their sin because they don't know that they need God's help So one of the danger is that the man can

4:39 reject grace >> [clears throat] >> because he doesn't even know what it means to stand alone. >> [clears throat] >> This is where prayer comes in. I'm coming to give men a prayer topic and I will give women a prayer topic. The little that grace must do that's why the Bible said Jesus is at the right hand of the Father, grace, interceding for us that we can be saved to the uttermost. So grace must be an intercessor because you must you can't be God's help but the one you are coming to help doesn't need you because he doesn't even recognize his state

5:25 to talk of needing help. So grace must be an intercessor. So the moment God said I'm going to make help I'm going to make help and brought that help as a woman, the woman must know that her first ministry is intercession. And that intercession must be in the direction of the one who stands as race his eyes opening to see HIM IN SELF. EVERY WOMAN THAT WANTS TO marry and is married must make with this the the main intercessory prayer that open the eyes of my husband to know the need he has for me.

6:12 If Grace can't pray this [clears throat] prayer Grace will carry his help or her help and walk about around somebody who will reject that help before his very eyes. So the first prayer point of Grace is that though I am a system of God's help but I must be seen and must be acknowledged. The eyes of the one I've come to help must be open. Because there was a time when Grace came in the form of Jesus. He said Bible says he came to his own but his own did not accept him. The people Grace comes for don't really see

6:57 the need for Grace until their eyes are open. That's why one of the major frustration of all wives is the fact that there is a part of them that feel not needed. They may have lived with their husband for 15 years but sometimes they feel that the way the man act is like I'm not needed. Because she herself has not really prayed the right prayer. That you pray until your husband comes to the place of knowing that I may not know all of my problem but I just know I need this woman around. This one is a system of God's help

7:43 that has been extended to me. The moment a man's eyes opens to the grace that God extended, what actually happens after the opening of the eye is the spirit of stewardship. Because grace must be stewarded. >> [clears throat] >> There is no gift of God that must not be well taken care of. No gift or help of God operates automatically. It must be Oh, come on. It must be stewarded, cared for, serviced to function. That's why Apostle Paul will tell you

8:29 that I'm a steward of the mysteries of God. He said, "Because of the grace that's bestowed on me, I labor more than you all." So, every grace that comes to you comes to activate labor. That's why it's the man that must provide. Though it is God that sent help. Because the one that received the grace must actually steward the grace. That's why grace in itself or God's help, favor, what we say is unmerited favor, but actually in the Greek, grace means that that which is thanksworthy.

9:16 Something that is thanksworthy. That means that the thing is so helpful that all you can do in response to it is to thank him. So, when God extends his help to you as a wife, as as a a form of grace, you must steward it with appreciation, with thanksgiving. That's why the instructions God gave men in marriage, it was only the man God said love your wife. Because you must still want it. And it all starts from the eyes of the man opening. And that's the prayer for women tonight. Open the eyes of my husband. Beyond your figure, he must see you are

10:04 help. Beyond your beauty, he must see you are help. And you are not just any normal help, you are help sent from God for him. Beyond certificates, he must see that you are a certain help from heaven that came. And the moment the eyes sees, still worship is generated. And what is the prayer of the man? >> JESUS. >> The man must pray that in each passing day the help and the grace that is sent from heaven [clears throat]

10:49 is not corrupted and defiled. That should be the prayer of the man. Oh yes. That the grace of God will not be perversed. That help will not be perversed. Cuz Apostle Paul talked about it. He said some of you, after I've left, will perverse the preaching of the grace of God. There is a perversion that comes after the help. So that even if the help enters your life, it becomes a distraction and not a lifter. So the man must pray that each passing day the help that was sent from heaven

11:35 should not meet the serpent. Because when the help came in chapter two, by chapter three, the serpent visited the help. Remember the serpent didn't come for the man. He came for the woman. The help God made was the one the serpent came and visited. And the attack he brought to the helper was the attack with knowledge. The fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. [clears throat] And the Bible says after the serpent spoke to the woman, the woman said, "Now this fruit is desirable for food, for it is able to make one wise." So all that the serpent had to do was to

12:22 corrupt the thinking faculty of the helper that has been sent to man. Oh, come on. No matter how packaged a woman is to be given to a man, pray. Pray that she doesn't hear what she doesn't have to hear. Pray. Pray because the serpent will come after the woman. There were two in the garden. The serpent didn't come for the woman and for the man. He came for the woman. It may look like the man was the main guy in in in the creation system, but the serpent came for the woman. When he God said, "I make you a helper."

13:11 It was the help, the system of God's help and grace that the serpent came for. And what he came for, the attack was the knowledge empowerment. That's why in this generation, what is traveling now is called women empowerment. And we must be careful what our precious women give their ears to because their agenda is to corrupt the system of grace that they represent. So that they came for women empowerment, but they return as monsters. They return AS BITTER SOULS AND that is the assignment of the serpent. When empowerment should should let them

13:59 be revealed and manifested as as the grace systems that will uphold the society, they are turned into something else that must fight who did doesn't exist. So today they are producing women fighting a a men that they themselves don't have men. >> [screaming] >> They they are not in relationships, BUT THEY ARE FIGHTING MEN. >> [screaming] >> BECAUSE A SERPENT IS VISITING THE system and making sure the systems of help are corrupted. Oh, I'm speaking. I'm speaking. You know why? Because the Lord has has committed a few people into my

14:45 hands. And what I will see running in the system, maybe many of you will not see. So I will God will depend on me to speak for the light that exists. Those of you So there are people who don't even know who they are as women. And they don't know that they were made as a system of grace, God's help to come and resolve issues that concern affected man. >> Mhm. >> That is a law. >> Mhm. >> When Jesus came, we really saw what grace looks like.

15:31 >> Yes, sir. Yes sir. >> Grace doesn't look for perfection. >> Mhm. >> No. Grace looks out to perfect. >> Mhm. >> So, if a woman really understand who she is, you realize that he doesn't look for who has made it. >> Mhm. >> Because he can make it. She doesn't look for who can make it. Who has made it. Because she carries a certain divine system. That's why in Genesis chapter 3, even when the the enemy attacked the woman, and then deception came through that. Jesus the father came and said that the seed of the woman A woman doesn't have seed. But this time God was talking about a

16:17 certain seed of the woman. So, even the ultimate grace of God, the ultimate help of God that must come to deliver humanity, came through THE SAME HELPER THAT GOD MADE. SO, when the helper failed humanity, the help that came to help humanity, still came through her. That tells you that she's the true helper humanity. So, a certain Mary got pregnant. You need a man's seed to get pregnant. But the Holy Ghost, he said the Holy Ghost will overshadow you. And who is the Holy Ghost? The helper. So, the helper entered her and came out as Jesus.

17:03 So, when even when the woman couldn't help herself, she produced who could help. So, do we have a prayer to pray for our women? The next prayer I have for the women is that may their eyes be open when the serpent shows up. We pray that their ears will be sanctified AGAINST THE VOICE I PRAY THAT WOMEN WILL begin to understand the system they are that their system of grace that was extended to men that must not be perverted.

17:49 That's it. So, every woman must be on the watch out for what message is being spoken into her ear. Is it presenting me gracious or is it presenting me monstrous? The moment they start to you will start to discern that it is making you fight what doesn't exist. You should know that is watching you. Because you were made to correct what is an error. You were made to be a helper of something that looks like a problem. Kind. So, our prayer is simple. Lord, open the eyes of my husband.

18:38 And Lord, secure the ears of my wife. So, even the world will tell you that the way to get a woman is speaking to her. And the way to get a man is his him seeing something. That is the principle. So, the woman must pray that the man will see. And the man must pray that the woman's ears will be sanctified. CAN YOU PRAY? IN THE WEEK OF OVERFLOWING GRACE. IF YOU ARE A MAN, >> AMEN. >> what are you praying for the woman >> Jesus Christ. >> you are married to, >> Amen. >> the woman you are about to marry? >> Jesus! >> That nothing will corrupt her SYSTEM OF

19:24 HEALTH. AND THEN YOU WILL PRAY FOR YOUR HUSBAND. >> JESUS! >> And the husband you want to marry, that nothing will change and distract his sight. >> Amen. >> That instead of seeing me as a helper, he's seeing me as a different thing. A competitor, a disrespectful person. Oh, yes. Look to the men that see women in a way and the women to are hearing things that is making them present themselves in a different way that is not who they really are. Sir, to

20:14 you are wasting your time asking God. And the problem is that >> [music] >> the moment you are taught truth, you are no more excused from judgment. And then what will be who a woman must be and who a man must be? Oh, yeah, they are far. And we are going to pray for the man you have to marry and pray for the woman you have to marry. Now, you know, as a man, Say you are corrupting it that I lost sanctify and seal her ears. There is a way God can make that the voice of the serpent disgusting to a woman.

21:00 There is a way. And there is a way God can let a man see so deep beyond physical looks. A man can see. Lift up your voice.
