Yah Always Provides for the Vision




How do you know your vision will come to fruition? Rest assured that Yah always provides for the vision He gives us. The Garden was Yah‘s provision to enable Adam to carry out the dominion purpose He had given him. Yah will always support and sustain His own vision. That is His responsibility. But the man has to seek and receive the vision in order to secure the provision.




The Male as Leader




After the male has secured a vision, he is ready for leadership. Most of us have developed our images of what it means to be a leader from the wrong sources, so we need to rethink this concept. We have looked to movie stars, famous sports figures, singers, and politicians as our role models. Yet the majority of famous men don‘t know what a true man is. If you don‘t believe me, ask them where their children are. Ask them where their wives are. Ask them how their home life is. The majority of the wealthiest, most famous, most prestigious men in the world can‘t keep their homes together. Our problem is that we have looked to status and personal accomplishment as the measure of manhood rather than to Yah‘s standards. He is concerned with men who have a vision from Him and who can support, sustain, and nurture their families and others as they move toward this vision in pursuit of Yah and His purposes.




Created and Designed to Lead




I‘ve found that some men want to run away from the responsibility of leadership. They look at it as too much of a burden. They let their wives run everything. Others want to selfishly pursue their own interests without worrying about the needs of others. Certain men don‘t think they deserve to be leaders. They think you have to be rich or highly educated in order to lead.




One time, I chatted with a young lady who was vice president of a bank, twenty- eight years old, and unmarried. She said to me, ―I just wish that Yah would bless me with a good man. You know, I really have everything I need: I have my own condominium, I make over $50,000 a year, and I could have bought a Porsche. But I decided that I wouldn‘t buy a Porsche because it would intimidate men. It would give the wrong signal. I bought a lesser car so that I would not frighten them away.




I said to her, ―You have the wrong idea. You shouldn‘t marry any man who would be intimidated by a Porsche, because that would mean the man is insecure. It would mean that the man equates his position with what he owns. When insecurity marries insecurity, you‘re going to have problems all your life.




If you are the president of a company, it doesn‘t matter if your secretary drives a Jaguar. You are still the president. As a man, you can‘t allow your self-image to be dependent upon what someone else has. Yah made you the head, and if you meet a woman with a Porsche, who is the vice president of a bank and has her own real estate assets, there is nothing wrong with that. What are you scared of? You need to understand that that kind of woman is a blessing. And if you give her leadership, she‘ll be glad to share her assets. She just wants to know that you will handle them well.




Let me make something very clear: if you are a male, you were born to lead. Yah made the male first because He wanted him to be responsible. A male doesn‘t decide to lead or not to lead. He has his position by virtue of his purpose. The male is not the head of his home because he has to lead. He has to lead because he is the head. His position is inherent. No male can sit down and debate whether he will lead his home, whether he will go to work for his family. That is not a debatable issue.




The male was designed for responsible leadership. He is to lead and be responsible for everything under his jurisdiction. (Yah may use women in leadership, also, but this is one of the primary purposes of the male. For more on women in leadership, please refer to the teaching Understanding the Purpose and Power of Woman here on YouTube.)




Yah both created and designed the male to be a leader. Remember the principle? You are the way you are because of why you are. Therefore, the male already has leadership qualities within him. However, he needs to rediscover the characteristics of leadership so that he can work on developing his Yah-given qualities and become an effective leader.




Characteristics of a Leader




1. Strong and Courageous




The male has been designed to take risks and meet challenges. Yah often gives men assignments that seem too big for them—and they are. They can be accomplished only through Yah‘s help. Yet the qualities of courage, strength, and daring enable men to take the necessary steps of faith that bring Yah‘s intervention.




The Most High said to Joshua, “Be strong and courageous, because you will lead” (Josh. 1:6). It‘s impossible to be the leader of the family and of society if you are not strong and courageous. And Joshua had a family of three million people! Yah gave this young Israelite a job designed for a man.




2. Obedient to Yah’s Commands




Yah added something to His command to Joshua. He said, ―Be careful to obey all the commands. (See verse 7.) A strong man has to be submitted to Yah‘s authority. No man can be strong if he is not accountable to someone else. A real man doesn‘t ignore authority. He remains in the garden of Yah‘s presence, praying and reading Yah‘s Word, so that he may understand and obey His commands.




Some men take their courage and strength and use them recklessly. When a man turns from Yah, takes his life into his own hands, and doesn‘t combine courage with common sense, he can cause himself and his family many problems. True courage and strength come only through confidence in the faithfulness of Yah and belief in His Word.




3. A Logical Thinker




To be a leader, you have to be a logical thinker and keep a clear mind. You have to identity what the specific problems are, analyze them, calculate what needs to be done to solve them, make a decision (sometimes very quickly), and act on it. You cannot be affected by your environment to the point where it immobilizes you, and your feelings rule you. You cannot be controlled by your emotions.




Now, while a male has emotions, he is not guided by them the way a woman often is. A woman has been made by Yah to integrate her emotions into everything she sees and thinks. This is not a negative trait, but rather Yah‘s built-in gift that enables her to empathize with others and to bring Yah‘s compassion and mercy to situations.




A leader often cannot be ruled by emotion or sentiment, especially when he has to make difficult decisions. That is why Yah designed a male differently from a female. The male is not emotional, even though he has emotions. He feels a great deal, but because of his purpose, his feelings are generally not his principle consideration. He‘s led by his thinking. Because of this trait, women can get the impression that men are cold. They‘re not cold; they‘re just not influenced as much by their emotions.




Think of Moses and the Israelites standing on the outskirts of the Red Sea with Pharaoh and his army approaching to destroy them. I can imagine Moses‘ sister, Miriam, having an emotional reaction and saying, ―Ahhhh! Yah, do something! But Moses is coolheaded. The Bible says Moses stood up and said, “The Most High will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace” (Exod. 14:14 NKJV). He was essentially saying, ―Be at peace; I promise you‘ll be alright, while at the same time Pharaoh was coming after them with thousands of his soldiers.




The Israelites had no way of escape: the sea was in front of them; the Egyptians were behind them. Yet in the midst of this situation, we see this cool, collected, calm male. His calmness caused all the Israelites to quiet down, also. They knew Moses had never lied before. When he said something, it happened.




I can see Moses, after he‘d finished speaking, standing behind a bush and crying to the Most High, ―Did you hear what I told them? O Yah, please help.... Yah said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on” (v. 15). I guess what the Word of Yah is trying to teach us is that a leader is somebody who never transfers his fear to those for whom he‘s responsible. I didn‘t say he never has fear—but he doesn‘t let his fear infect others.




4. A Servant’s Heart




A real man, a true leader, is a servant. He is not a ruler. He takes care of others before himself. Yahusha said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles Most High it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Matt. 20:25–28)




The apostle Paul echoed this theme when he wrote, “Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Phil. 2:4), and “Husbands, love your wives, just as Hamachiach loved the ekklesia and gave himself up for her” (Eph. 5:25). How did Hamachiach love His ekklesia? First of all, by giving Himself for her. This means that a man should give up his personal, private, ambitious, egotistical desires in order to serve his wife and family. He needs to emulate Hamachiach‘s nature.




5. A Teachable Spirit




A true leader has humility, so that he is willing to learn from others and be corrected, when need be. Some of the greatest moments in my life are times when my wife corrects me, gives me ideas, or provides insight on something that I haven‘t been able to do right. It takes a real man to submit to help. It takes a fool to avoid it. Yah is not looking for a controller. He is looking for a leader who makes himself fruitful by being pruned when necessary in order to yield a healthier and greater harvest.




Men need to remember that women are here to help them. I believe that one of the reasons Yah took the woman from the man‘s side, or rib, is to emphasize her nature. The word rib means ―sustainer or ―supporter. That‘s what the rib does. It supports the whole upper frame with the vertebrae. So a woman is a support system. If she functions in her purpose, she helps the male to function in his.




What a Woman Can Do




I would like to say a special word here to the women listening to this teaching. Yah said it wasn‘t good for the man to be alone, so He created the woman. You are good for a man. One of the ways you can be good to him is to show him honor as the leader in the home.




Sometimes a husband will say, ―I think we should do this, and right away his wife will show him she doesn‘t trust him. She‘ll say, ―Do what? You‘ve never done anything right yet! She just wiped out the man‘s ego. What she can say if she isn‘t sure about his idea is, ―Well, let‘s try it that way, then. When she says, ―try, he hears ―trust. ―Let‘s try it means she‘s going to trust him in this undertaking. Then, if he messes up, she can say, ―We all mess up. A woman can protect her husband‘s face, realizing that she also makes mistakes.




Feed your husband‘s need for leadership honor. No matter what he does, just keep feeding it. When you get it to the point where it is strong and effective, then it will become a great blessing to both of you. He will learn to lead because he will know that you support him.




A Strong Foundation




Learning to become both a visionary and a leader is crucial for the male because it enables him to have a strong foundation for fulfilling his other dominion assignments. In the next teaching, we‘ll look at two more of these responsibilities: teacher and cultivator.




Principles




1. Being a visionary is a foundational responsibility for the male because, without it, he can‘t fulfill his other assignments of leader, teacher, cultivator, provider, and protector.




2. To have vision means to be able to conceive of and move toward your purpose in life.




3. The male was created to be a visionary. He was given the first vision of Yah‘s plan for humanity.




4. The male is designed to be a visionary. He is able to look at the big picture in life and to plan for the future from a logical, practical standpoint.




5. Prerequisites for discovering vision are: (1) follow Hamachiach‘s example, (2) acknowledge Hamachiach‘s headship, (3) listen for Yah‘s direction, and (4) be open to Yah‘s communication.




6. A man needs a clear vision of (1) who he is in Yah, (2) what his overall purpose as a male is, (3) what his purpose as an individual man is.




7. Yah designed the male to carry others with him in his vision.




8. If a man has no vision, this will negatively affect those who are to follow him, especially his family.




9. Before Yah gave the man a helper, He gave him a vision.




10. A male cannot ask a female to follow and help him if he has no vision.




11. Yah always provides for the vision He gives.




12. Yah created and designed the male to be a responsible

leader.




13. The characteristics of a leader are: (1) strong and courageous, (2) obedient to Yah‘s commands, (3) a logical thinker, (4) a servant‘s heart, and (5) a teachable spirit.




14. One way a woman can be good to a man is by honoring him as the leader in the home.
