TOPIC: A GODLY WOMAN AND HER HOUSE
TEXT: PROVERBS 31:10-12
KEY VERSE: EPHESIANS 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Submission is a key to the women ministry beginning with her house. True submission encompasses the Character; your character must show that you are under the man's control. Words; your communication must carry the spirit of humility to show you are under the man. Service; you must render services such as cooking for the man, washing of clothes, sweeping and cleaning etc.
Submission of your body to your husband: submission of your body to the man must be willingly and not by constraint. Material possession: you must submit all material possessions to the man genuinely.
Here is the testimony of a couple shared to give you better understanding of what submission is. A pastor went for a meeting with his wife. In the course of the meeting, he said to his wife, we are going to discuss a matter and I would want you to also give whatever contribution you have.
The meeting commenced, issues were raised and deliberated upon but the woman kept mute. After they had finished the meeting and retired back home, her husband said to her, I wanted you to say whatever you want to say during the meeting but you remained silent.
She replied, I discovered you took a position during the meeting, if my husband has taken position, how will I have a different opinion from his'? Women can learn submission from this woman. This is the type of submission that is needed in Christian homes to promote love and peace among us.
In the church the women ministry is raised to assist the pastor to be able to handle special things among the women. They are raised to reach out to the women in the real sense of it. A woman must be appointed to look after the women ministry however, the pastor would supervise, instruct, guide and direct the women fellowship to allow decency in the church of God.
Thought for the day: submission is key to the women ministry
Song for the day: Take my life and let it be
Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 25-27
