1st Ladies/Wives: LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!!!!

[Sister Sonya]

If every wife practiced Ephesians 5:33, divorce would become rare. Of course, the devil and the world encourage wives to do the exact opposite: belittle, criticize, put down, and nag their husband, IF DEALT WITH AT HOME, this would not filter over to the BUSINESS of the Church, the FUNCTION of the Church, or the REACHING OUT to lost SOULS that come to the Church. 

LEADERS ARE YOU REALLY TEACHING AND PRACTICING BIBLICAL PRINCIPALS IN YOUR HOMES SO THE 1ST LADY SYNDROME DOESN'T INFECT THE BODY OF CHRIST YOU SHEPHERD?

 

RESPECT:

EPHESIANS 5:33 NKJ - . . . let the wife see that she respects her husband.
EPHESIANS 5:33 - . . . let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband -- that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates and esteems him; and that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires him exceedingly.

TITUS 2:4-5 NKJ - that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

TITUS 2:4-5 - So that they will wisely train the young women to be sane and sober-minded -- temperate, disciplined -- and to love their husbands and their children; To be self-controlled, chaste, homemakers, good-natured (kindhearted), adapting and subordinating themselves to their husbands, that the word of God may not be exposed to reproach -- blasphemed or discredited.

You must acknowledge and appreciate the things he does. Try to stay positive. Give a sincere compliment whenever possible. Resist nagging, which will not help.

 

REVERENT:

1 TIMOTHY 3:11 NKJ - Likewise their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
The Bible tells wives to respect their husbands, to be reverent. Wives should encourage their husbands and build them up with their words.

1 PETER 3:2 -When they observe the pure and modest way in which you conduct yourselves, together with your reverence [for your husband. That is, you are to feel for him all that reverence includes] -- to respect, defer to, revere him; [revere means] to honor, esteem (appreciate, prize), and [in the human sense] adore him; [and adore means] to admire, praise, be devoted to, deeply love and enjoy [your husband].

 

EXERCISE INNER BEAUTY:

1 PETER 3:3-6 NKJ - Do not let your beauty be that outward adorning of arranging the hair, of wearing gold, or of putting on fine apparel; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.

Being feminine, with a gentle and quiet spirit, is not only precious in God's sight, but is very wise and also attractive to men. Being loud and boisterous has much less chance of producing anything positive.

 

‎1 TIMOTHY 2:9-10 NKJ - In like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

While not wrong to try and look your best, remember the most important is your "inner beauty," the fruit of the spirit and the glow of God's presence!

Greetings Rev. Watson...your first question is "Why", because they ARE NOT TAUGHT.  the modern day Holy woman...that is exactly what they are....they are not HOLY women, the Proverbs 31 woman, the woman after God's heart, the virtuous woman who is called blessed by her children and husband...and we can only be that when we love God and obey His every commandment.  The modern day holy woman is taught promises and blessings, but never taught obedience...the world have made that word an evil and taken the truth and turned it into a lie.  True OBEDIENCE is key to the promises of God, therefore the truth has not been taught so it cannot be passed on.

 

May God add a blessing to the reading, teaching and studying of His WORD. 

 

No Weapons Formed, may God bless you for sharing those scriptures and admonishing women to read and to apply by posting the scriptures.  Women have taken the scriptures that are meant for men and applied them to themselves and forgot about the scriptures that God speaks specifically to us...if we could only OBEY the Words of God and not distribute it according to our ways, feelings and suggestions, we would be obeying God and ALL His promises to those that love and OBEY Him would receive.  Now my post will offend a lot, and those are the ones that has taken Gods Word and will only except what feels good to their flesh, ego etc., but to God be the glory for all who will take His Word for what it say and will take nothing from it nor add anything to it.

 

Thanks for this post and for putting us in rememberance of what the woman of God should be.

 

In Love, Sister Denise

 

P.S.  I attended Bible Study on last night and all the minister was talking about was blessings and promises of God....talking about THINGS etc.  NEVER about obedience and righteousness....that is what scripture commands us to do....live right, holy total obedience to God and all the body of Christ think about is blessings and promises of obtaining the things of this world and not the heavenly treasures that God promises....JUST PLAIN OLE TWISTED gospel...and the truth is not out here.

     Good teaching.  I am currently unpacking Luke Chapter 2 which is packed with revelation and offers a remedy for maintaining and keeping our relationships from falling apart.

     Luke 2:8, "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night."  Understand that the shepherds were to "watch and keep." 

1.  What God is saying is that we are to watch over and keep what he has given us.  If God has given you a husband or a wife than he has given you a good thing.  We are to be on guard and watch for anything that will try and pull your family apart.  
2. You are called to keep your marriage together and watch for those devils (wolves) that are trying to pull your family apart.  Watch out for in-laws, watch out for unemployment, watch out for co-workers.  You have to watch and keep.  Keep it together.  We are not watching.  We are allowing wolves to come in and take what God has given to us.  If you are not watching, you will be unable to keep.
3. The "night" are the dark times of your life when you have to be on guard (watch).  When the adversary comes in the form of unemployment, sickness and disease and financial difficulties trying to tear your family apart and take what God has given you.  "Watch and Keep." 

[Pastor Jonathan]

     When God sees that you are able to "keep" what he has already given to you, then he is able to give you more.  Then he will have a word for you.  Why many of us don't have a "word."  Luke 2:9, "And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid."

     A lot of people wonder why God has not given them anymore, it is because they are unable to "watch and keep" what they already have.
