Good Morning! It's absolutely beautiful out and I'll looking forward to opening the windows up again today. I pray each who read this have a Wonderful day and enjoy your 3 day wkend.
Oh my....I can hear some people now, "WHAT?! You want me to obey my husband! Never!!! Well, I think maybe you need to read on and see what the Bible says about this. I will admit it's not always easy be we as the wife should obey our husbands.
Titus 2:4-5 "That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands...."
Obedient : Yielding, willing and eager to accomplish injunctions or desires, abstaining from that which is forbidden.
The aged women are to teach us things such as: "teach the young women to be obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed." We're going to review a few verses from previous lessons.
Genesis 3:16 "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."
As you see it's God's will that we obey our husbands and the woman is to want to give her full attention and interest to her husband. You married this man, you shouldn't want or have interest in other men. I love what our Preacher and my former Pastors have told us, Have friends and have fun times with other couples but don't make it where it's the same couple all the time. It could and has happened where the wife of one couple the husband of the other couple all of sudden lost interest in their own spouse! How sad! You married _________ on whatever your wedding date, NOT your best friends spouse! Be so very careful and keep your interest and attention focused the YOUR man!!!
I Corinthians 11:3 "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
* I do not submit to any other man as I submit to my husband. There is no pastor or minister higher than my husband.
Ephesians 5:22-24 "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing."
Here's the 2nd time in scripture it tells us to submit (obey) our husbands. In what? '...in every thing." How should we do it? "...as unto the Lord...."
Ephesians 5:33 "Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband."
Colossians 3:18 "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord."
As you see there is verse after verse in the Bible that says we are to obey/submit our husbands.
I Peter 3:1 "Likewise, ye wives be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives."
*It wasn't going to church or having a quiet time with God that won him. She won him by responding to him with honor and affection.
If you want to win your husband to the Lord, live the Bible. Don't preach it, don't push to get him church or show off that you have devotions daily. Simply win your husband by being faithful to him, loving him, obeying him, showing him that is the ONLY one for you. The Lord will the rest.
*Honoring God gives a woman power to change her man. Proverbs 31:11 "The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil." *(Trustworthy, dependable, worthy of confidence, reliable, honest, deserving) This things will help change your husband and eventually bring him to Christ.
Proverbs 31:12 "She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. *(Constant in her love, unshaken, unmoved, faithful, ceaseless, enduring, unchanging, loyal, permanent)
*You CANNOT become his conscience or his accuser, expecting that pressure is going to push him into repentance.
"Finally brethern, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
You may ask do I really make a difference? YES!! We make such a huge difference in our husbands lives. If you think about how many men really like doing dishes, laundry, cleaning the house, vacuuming..... You make a difference not only in the daily task but in his life in general. So this is why we NEED to obey/submit to our husbands.
There is so much more I could cover on this topic. If you are interested in more about obeying our husbands....feel free to contact me. Or you can purchase the book that I have used as part of my sources for the devo's.
