WISDOM ENGENDERS GLORIOUS MARITAL LIFE (A)
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Colossians 3:18-19 (KJV)
Man is a creation of Adonai. It is also only Him that knows the best way that the man can function and fulfil purpose. That is why, it is wisdom to go to the manufacturer’s manual for man which is the Bible and find out the Wisdom steps to take to maximize his life. There are wisdom steps in the Word for every area of the man’s life including his marriage. Marriage is Yahweh’s initiative. He therefore, knows the best way to enjoy it. It is Wisdom to search out the keys the creator of marriage has made available for unlocking the treasures in the institution. It is important to note that the wisdom of Yahweh looks like foolishness with men. However, the foolishness of Yahweh if there is anything like that is wiser than men (see 1 Corinthians 1:25). No matter the school you attended and the resultant certificate that you parade, if you don’t humble yourself and subscribe to the wisdom of Yahweh concerning marriage, you will make a shipwreck of your marriage. The evidence of the foregoing statement is the divorce statistics the world over and looks like the number is more with the well read class. Education is not equal to wisdom. Divine Wisdom is a function of hearing and hearkening to the Word of Adonai. If you are too big to hear and obey the word of Yahweh – the Bible, you are too big for success in marriage. If you are too educated to humble yourself before the Word of Elohim, you are too educated to succeed in marriage. Truth is truth. There is no new generation truth. Truth is timeless and ageless.
The position of the wife in the family is a spiritually sensitive and strategic one. Contrary to several years of teaching that the success of the family hangs on the head of the home who is the husband of the home, the Word actually teaches that the rise and fall of a home is almost 100% dependent on the wife of the home. In almost all the New Testament references about the family, the first person to be addressed is the wife. In Ephesians, Colossians and Peter that addressed the home, the wife was always the first person to be addressed. Proverbs 14:1 (KJV) says something striking, ‘Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands’ Proverbs 23:4 says that ‘Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:’ Every building is built by the operation of Wisdom. This is very critical. How does the wise woman build her house? Our text explains how: wives submit to your husbands as unto the Lord. This is not human-made postulation. This is Divine Wisdom for a successful marital life. No matter your estate in life, if you submit to this Wisdom, you will enjoy peace like river in your home, even if Satan is your husband. Did you notice it says that you should submit to your own husband as to the Lord? That is in the same measure that you would submit to the Lord Yahushua, is exactly the same measure that you should submit to your own husband. That is grave to me, just thinking about it.
Did you notice that I said that even if Satan is your husband, that you would have peace at home? That is exactly what 1 Peter 3:1-6 was explaining. The Apostle Peter says that even if your husband does not obey the word meaning is not a Christian, he may be won by your chaste character which he will observe. The wife wields so much influence in her home that she literally holds the rise and fall of the home. May the Lord give every wife wisdom to walk by the Word. Shalom!
We shall continue with the husband tomorrow…
REMEMBER: Submitting to your husband in everything is the wisdom for marital bliss.
CONFESSION: I am a woman/man of wisdom. I walk by the word of the Lord, pleasing him in all my ways. I submit to my husband as unto the Lord and I receive the fruit of heaven on earth marriage Thank You Lord!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: As you work in this wisdom as a wife, I declare peace, love and rest in your home in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
