It is evident that males and females are different. A lack of understanding of the differences have led to both genders claiming superiority, as well as strange mindsets and illusions from hell about relationships and marriage at large. However, according to the Scriptures, God created the world and everything in it from Himself, and mankind (male and female) is no exception. To wit, mankind, which is God’s chief creation, corresponds to the two (2) spiritual principles in God - Love and wisdom.

In a time where marriage is under attack, Pastor Jeffrey Walter is inspired by the Lord to restore sanity and hope in marriage by painting vividly what God intends marriage to be. Throughout the month of February, by the series, “Love, Relationships, Marriage and Matters Arising”, he presents godly wisdom on what the Lord intends for marriage to be, as well as the prescribed methods by which it is to be engaged in.

In this message, “The Origin of the Male and Female Gender”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter ascribes the differences in the male and female gender to God. He establishes that males represent wisdom/truth whilst females represent love/affection, and that both genders are incomplete when in isolation. He shows how by dealing with each other according to the word of God in marriage, men gain love, and women gain wisdom. Finally, Pastor Walter explains how friendship between married couples joins them together (i.e. cleaving) and presents a practical approach to cleaving, with the wife-representing love/affections leading the way.

Key Scripture

Genesis 1:26-27 (KJV)

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
