ASPECTS OF THE MALE'S ASSIGNMENT!!!!!

Genesis chapter 1










Today we are walking in: Aspects of The Male's Assignment!!!!!










Today we look to the word- MAN- H120- 'adam-ruddy i.e. a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.)









The Torah Testifies……….




Genesis 1:27




So God created man H120 in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.







The Prophets Proclaim………





Isaiah 17:7




At that day shall a man H120 look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.






Jeremiah 5:1




Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man H120, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.







The Writings Witness………





Proverbs 7:7




And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man H120 void of understanding,







Proverbs 9:9




Give instruction to a wise man H120, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.







Teacher




Yah told Adam, in effect, ―This is My command: Do not eat of the tree in the middle of the Garden, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.‘ He didn‘t tell this to Eve. He told it only to Adam, which means that it was the man‘s responsibility to teach and guide her in the Word of Yah.




If I were the first one to discover something, and then someone else were to show up on the scene needing to know the information, what would that make me? It would make me the teacher. The fact that I was there first and had all the information would put me in that position. Likewise, the male was given the purpose of being the teacher, not because he‘s smarter, but because he was first. This is the pattern that Yah established. Again, this doesn‘t mean that women are unable to teach, but that Yah intended men to be primarily responsible for teaching His ways.




In Genesis 3, HaSatan came to tempt Eve, and he asked her, ―Didn‘t Yah say you shouldn‘t eat from any of these trees? (See verse 1.) Eve‘s answer was based on what she had heard from Adam, not from Yah, because Adam had been the one Yah instructed. She said, ―No; we can eat of all the trees except the one that‘s called the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. We can‘t even touch it. (See verses 2–3.) Eve learned that from her teacher. Perhaps she added the embellishment, or perhaps Adam did; it‘s not clear. But the point is that it was Adam‘s job to teach her Yah‘s instructions.




Ephesians 5 tells us that Yahusha Himself teaches His

bride, the Ekklesia, “by the washing with water through the word” (v. 26). Hamachiach is a teacher, and “husbands ought to love their wives...just as Hamachiach loved the Ekklesia” (vv. 28, 25).




To this very day, Yah has not changed His purpose. The male must be responsible for Yahly instruction. I‘m not talking about the way things are right now. I‘m talking about what is supposed to be. Yah expects males to reveal His will and His Word to females. However, in our day, the males have lost Yah‘s will so badly that Yah is telling the females directly. He can do this because the woman has a spirit man within her and has her own relationship with Yah. Yet Yah desires men to be spiritual leaders.




Cultivator




What assignments did Yah give the male in regard to the Garden? The Bible says, “The Most High Yah took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work [“cultivate” NASB] it” (Gen. 2:15). So one of the male‘s responsibilities is to work or cultivate. Let‘s look first at the idea of the man cultivating the Garden.




The nature of the work the male was given to do was not mindless labor—it was cultivation. I wish every man could take hold of this truth. To cultivate means to make something grow and produce a greater yield. This means that, if you are a man, your purpose is to cultivate everything around you. Cultivate also means to make something fruitful, to develop it into its perfection. The man is to be a developer and a fruit producer. He is to be a source of fruitfulness. Yah gave this assignment to the male before the female was created, and before the first child was born. Therefore, the purpose of the male-man is to develop and cultivate both people and things to Yah‘s glory.




Provider




Now let‘s look at the idea of the man working the Garden. Cultivation involves both creativity and effort. These two things are the nature of true work.




Men, I want to introduce you to one of your primary purposes. It is very simple, nothing complicated. You don‘t have to try to be Batman. You don‘t have to compete with Arnold Schwarzenegger or anybody else. You don‘t have to have big muscles. You can weigh 110 pounds and still fulfill your purpose—no problem. Yah gave you the assignment of work.




Now, I hear somebody saying, ―I‘m so mad at Adam. Because Adam sinned, now I have to go to work. I have news for you: work was given to the man in Genesis 2, before the Fall. In other words, work is not a curse, my friend. Let me tell you the primary reason Yah gave you work. It is given in Genesis 2:2–3:




By the seventh day Yah had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And Yah blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.




Yah Himself worked when He created the world, and He still works to carry out His purposes. For example, Paul said in Philippians 2:13, “It is Yah who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” Because you are made in Yah‘s image and likeness, you are designed to work. Yet remember that work is meant to include creativity and cultivation, not drudgery. It is also supposed to be kept in its proper place. In Genesis 2, the Bible says that Yah worked hard and completed His work, so that He stopped His work and rested. He didn‘t burn the midnight oil or work seven days a week just for the sake of working. He stopped working when it was appropriate. He told us to do the same. (See Exodus 20:9–10.)




What is the significance of work? Work exposes your potential. You cannot show what you have inside unless demands are made on it, and demands are placed on it by work.




Yah gave the male work because it is related to his purpose. His purpose is to stay in the presence of the Most High and learn to rule and manage what Yah has given him to do. In this way, he can eventually fulfill Yah‘s complete plan for him, which is to dominate the earth.




Yah gave the male work not only because it exposes his potential and allows him to reflect Yah‘s nature, but also because it enables him to provide for those for whom he is responsible in his position as visionary and leader. Provide comes from a Latin word meaning ―to see ahead. The male should be a visionary. He should have a vision for his life, and he should work to see that it is accomplished—for himself, his family, and others under his care. A male is designed for this purpose of provider. In general, he‘s built physically stronger than the female, particularly in his upper body, because of Yah‘s command that he work.




Protector




“The Most High Yah took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to...take care of it” (Gen. 2:15). The next responsibility the male was given was to “take care” of the Garden. I would include under this responsibility guarding and protecting the Garden and everything in it. That included the plants, the animals, even the woman who would be created and live in the Garden. Yah never told the woman to protect anything. Why? Because the woman is one of the things the man is supposed to protect.




I once asked Yah, ―Most High, with all the responsibilities you gave men, how do they know they can fulfill them? His answer was very, very simple. He said, ―Whatever I call for, I provide for. It is so true. You are designed as men to fulfill these functions.




Yah designed the male to protect everything that is in his care and under his covering, so that the male is a natural protector. The man is built in every way to protect. His physical frame is evidence of that, but so is his mental capacity. The way he is structured psychologically is designed to protect. We will discuss this idea more in the teaching entitled, ―The Male as Provider and Protector. Rest assured that, as a male, Yah has equipped you to carry out every purpose and function you have been given.




There‘s a final aspect of the male as both provider and protector that I want you to recognize. Before the woman came, Yah gave the man one last responsibility:




Now the Most High Yah had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. (Gen. 2:19–20)




Did you know that the Hebrew concept of naming things actually means to possess them? This idea is very important in the Bible. Why did Yah tell the male-man to name the animals? Why didn‘t Yah name them Himself? It is because whatever you name, you own. Whatever you name, you control. Very interesting. That‘s why Yah named the male.




Yah called us His children because He always wants to have rights to us. We belong to Him. “In him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). No one else has a right to you because Yah named you. Do you understand that this is why HaSatan has no legal rights to you? You are already named, so he can‘t name you.




This idea is why Yah made sure that Mary and Joseph didn‘t name Yahusha. He personally named His Son. Why? He didn‘t want Yahusha‘ earthly parents to possess Him. He knew that the day would come when Yahusha would reach twelve years of age and His mother would ask Him, ―Why did you leave us, Son? and He would have to say, ―I must be about My Father‟s business.‟ He named Me. You didn‘t name Me. (See Luke 2:48–49 NKJV.)




Can I take you one step further? This is why Yah did not name the woman. Now, men, that‘s a lot of weight on our shoulders. Yah chose not to name the female. He wanted the man to be totally responsible for her. This is why, in marriage, a woman has traditionally taken her husband‘s name. It is to signify that he is responsible for her.




Real men are very careful about naming things, because they know the truth of this principle: what you name, you claim; and what you claim, you have the responsibility for. Young men, don‘t be so quick to give your name away, because whomever you give your name to, you have to cherish and love; care for and secure; and protect and work for. Young women, the next time a man comes to you and wants to give you his name, see if you want to be claimed.




Check him out. Say, ―Can you sustain me? Can you supply what I need? I‘m not referring to just money. I‘m talking about comfort, knowledge, intellectual stimulation, protection, security. Ask him, ―Can you provide these things for me? Many men have money, but they don‘t have much sense. You don‘t want a rich fool. You want a real male-man.
