In the beginning, God made only man, Adam. After sometime, God saw that it was not good for Adam to live alone, he decided to make a helper for him. God cause a deep sleep to fall upon him. While he was sleeping, God took one of his rib s and closed up the place with flesh. God created woman out of the rib he took from Adam, and brought her to him.

CONFUSING GENDER DISTINCTION

Just as Satan deceive Adam and eve to sin against God, Satan is still deceiving human beings to do what is not right in the sight of God. He want men to change the natural way god have created men and women. While bring confusion and evil to the society.

The following are some of the confusing gender distinction:

1. Satan make some women want to be like men through dressing and Behaviour.
2. Satan makes some men want to be like women like wearing of earrings, plaiting their hair.
3. Practice of homosexuality. That is men marrying men and female marrying female.

The effects of the confusing gender distinction leads to

1. Hiv/Aids
2. Damages social values
3. It threatens the marriage institution.

So, Christians should avoid any action or attitude that can confuse gender distinction. Men and women should be contented with how God have crested them and give all glory to God.

MISCONCEPTION ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN

The following are different idea of people between men and women

1. Some say men are important then women
2. Some value women than men

We should know that we are all humans and we are created by God in his image. Therefore we are equal before God.

 Prayers: O lord, thank you for creating us a male and female, in Jesus name. Amen.
