”FOR THE MARRIED WOMEN AND THOSE INTENDING TO
GET MARRIED, LISTEN & TAKE HEED!!
Husband does not mean the male partner in a marriage,
husband means master. The reason for most problems in marriages is the fact
that women refute God’s definition of marriage and form theirs.
They believe they are equal partners. If most
women had their fathers bold enough to talk to them, they will be very
successful in their marriage and they will be very happy people. Most women
have never been taught by their parents, their fathers particularly and that’s
their biggest problem because they don’t know who a man is, they think he is
another woman.
In marriage, you have the man who is the head
of that union and because he’s the head of that union, it’s important to
understand him. You think he’s the one that needs to understand his wife and
that is where you are wrong. He will eventually but you have to know the type
of man you are married to and his need. When you say you are marrying a man,
you are coming under his authority. The Bible says, the man is the head of the
woman (1 Corinthians 11:3) so when you marry him you come under his authority,
you are not authority sharers even though you are both heirs to the kingdom of
God.
When you decide not to subject yourself to
that authority, you are a rebel and God is not going to accept what you are
doing because you are not functioning correctly.
Why did God make the woman? Making woman was not God’s
original plan because after God created Adam and before He made Eve, He said in
Genesis 1:31 “Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very
good”. God made woman because of man so woman was not His original idea. This
is reality Genesis 2:18a “And the Lord God said “for it is not good for a man
to be alone.” The Bible didn’t say “lonely” but “alone”. PAY ATTENTION: Get all
the latest gossips on NAIJ Gossip App There is a big difference. Man wasn’t
lonely but alone. Genesis 2:18b “…I will make him a help meet”. He didn’t say a
partner or a supervisor or a special advisor or someone to tell him what to
do.I will make him someone to help him.
God gave man a responsibility so woman was
made to help man achieve that responsibility. If this is understood in every
home then you won’t have problems. I tell people that you don’t need a marriage
seminar, you need the Word Seminar.
Let me tell you, no husband wants another
mother, he has had one all his life. He doesn’t want an older sister, he
probably had one. Your secret is in obedience, your secret is in listening to
your husband, and your secret is in doing the things that please him. When you
don’t do the things that please him, you take the role of a mother or of an
older sister. A man loves the one he serves (God) and the one that serves him
(a good wife). He fights the one that wants to be at the same level with him (a
rebellious wife).
To be happy in your family and home is the
easiest thing in the world, just take your role. Take your place. That place
that God gave you is a beautiful place. It’s a place of peace. It’s a place of
love. It’s a place of excellence. Every wise person listens to wise voices
(advice) but he listens to a wise voice that is presented wisely. Everyone
rebels against the voice that is trying to make a fool out of him. When you
want to correct your husband, don’t lord it over him, present it as a wise
suggestion. Humble yourself and be smart. A wise woman will always be an
influence to her husband, the foolish one will always annoy the husband, make
him mad, make him angry and when you make him angry, you will be the victim.
Learn to listen to your husband, practice it,
and tell yourself that you are going to do it because that is where your beauty
is. Once you stop listening, your beauty evaporates. You wonder why you are
dressing and he can’t see it, he doesn’t remember your last hair style. Beauty
is in obedience.
That’s where the Glory is.
