TOPIC: A MAN’S CALL TO MINISTRY INCLUDES HIS WIFE
TEXT: GENESIS 12: 1-4
SATURDAY MARCH 4th
Key verse: Romans 12:11 “Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.”
The standard of the divine call is exemplified in the life and ministry of Abraham. Abraham was called the father of faith. The Lord was going to bring out the gospel to the world through Abraham Through Abraham we see the gospel of faith spread to the ends of the world to the point that we are called the children of Abraham. Of course, women are called the daughters of Sarah. This is the standard Christian ministry God desires for the man and the woman. Sarah played her role well to give us the gospel which we rejoice upon this day. God would want us to go through this because ministry got lost when people began to go into ministry without standards. Those that entered into ministry entered into it without this complete formation. Many are in ministry but their wives are not cooperating. For ministry to be effective, the family of the preacher must play their role.
A tough and uncooperating wife will frustrate and destroy the privilege of ministry that God has given to the husband. God has called and anointed people giving them grace but their wives are just frustrating them. The man is just dragging, there is a battle and quarrel at home. Why? He has a wife that is frustrated with this work, a wife that does not want to raise pure, holy, dedicated men for this work, though they may be few and you that is their wife must cooperate with them. You must submit to them and play your role well with them so that they carry out this ministry successfully as Abraham did. How can the servant of God rule his own house if the wife is not cooperating? How can his children be under subjection if the wife is not cooperating if it is none of the business of the wife? She is full of the business of money, full of herself, full of complaints, full of laziness, and full of weaknesses, she is even a doorway for Satan into the house, family and so into the ministry. How can this be? That is why the Lord has to speak to women.
Thought for the day: An uncooperative wife will hinder the ministry of her husband
Song for the day: I have a wonderful treasure, the gift of God without measure
Bible reading for the day: Numbers 32-33; Mark 10:1-31
