CHARACTER (The wife)

1 Peter 3:4
But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Most times it is a wonder the life believers live. The question is "whose example do we follow?

* the word of God
* movies
* books
* celebrities
* writers
* parents
* experience
* friends
* peers
and even now church members.

We know that we could be great ministers and leaders in church, the  circular world, business or even in politics and yet have destroyed and disjointed homes.

We must understand that while we were unmarried we remain noncommittal, however the moment we do, we have a life commitment which we must stick to.  (God help us)

So as you persuade people to marry.. .  do have it in mind. . . "YOU WILL NOT MAKE THE MARRIAGE WORK FOR THEM!" Hmmm

So now you are married, as a wife, what is expected of "ME"?

No matter what position you hold here or there, no matter your financial or social status, you are "the wife", and you will account for this role.

1 Peter 3:1-3
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;
While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with fear.
 Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

What is your AURA?

That atmosphere you carry around, it is what creates the atmosphere when you enter a place. It opens doors for you, links you with people. For the believer the Spirit of God emits a great aura of pleasant glory wherever you go and in whatever you do.

1Corinthians 12:7
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.

However if we build a negative character, we tarnish this aura! selah

Proverbs 14:1
Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

What kind of wife are you?

Who is your example, who is your model? Women of scriptures or women of the world? Who do you account to? God or man?

1 Peter 3:5-6 (NLT)
This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted the authority of their husbands.
For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do.

Beware of worldly and demonic agendas. "feminism outside of God is a demonic agenda, don't fall for it, it emits the same bondage as homosexuality!"

There is no better example than that given by the wise mother.

Be the "Proverbs 31" wife. There is no way you will not make God happy.

So the question is are women in marriage/wives in bondage, NO, they are actually liberated from evil intentioned men and from preys and have a focused loyalty.

For the single ladies "May you marry a man and not his looks, fame, power or possessions" For you will live with the man and not the latter. Selah

There is time to make amends, we can still turn from our errors to God's way.

Wife, what is your character?

Are you loyal to your husband, do you take from him to take care of others, and contribute nothing to make him better. What exactly are you to him, a help or a liability? What exactly are you contributing or do you just drain him? It is simple wisdom. Did he get married to you to get better, or to be drained?

Have you being praying, fasting and speaking great things into the life of your husband. Have you made him richer, better, and a glory outside.

Proverbs 31:11-12,23
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

Wife, when you speak, what happens?

Proverbs 31:26
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue [is] the law of kindness.

Are you an idler or a gossip?

Proverbs 31:27
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

You are a great woman, a glory of God and a blessing to your husband. Don't remain in the ruins the world is offering, and if you have been getting it right stay on track. The enemy will not prevail over our homes. The Lord has already given us victory.

I see christian homes where the wife carries the character of God, God will reign in our homes. We will not err, we are the blessed.

Love
