Topic: Be a Home Keeper [Wednesday March 11, 2015]
“To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” – Titus 2:5
You might have heard that success is not about getting up the ladder, but effectively sustaining your stay there. It is not enough to build a godly home, but it must be sustained; because once good is not always good. It takes a conscious and concise effort to maintain a quality home that would be envied and loved.
You must bear in mind that the outcome of your home, good or bad, does not depend on God, but on you. You are solely responsible for its success or failure and to make for success requires hard work and determination to see it through. When you play your part in building your family, God will be committed to materializing your desires.
To sustain your home, you must be ready to fulfil your marital responsibilities. Many Pastors’ wives, probably because of the responsibilities of the church and the demands of members, neglect their first duty call which is their home. Most times, people don’t listen to what you say as much as they observe to see if what you say is reflective on you.
You should be able to keep your home far from the devourer. This, you do by making it conducive for the Holy Spirit to dwell. You must ensure peace and tranquility by being willing to respect the leadership of your husband, even if you think your anointing is more than his.
Also as a woman of substance, you must apply wisdom to your daily living. This tells you when to talk and when to be quiet, where to go, and however else to react, at all times. Having the full backing of God as a minister’s wife, I know that you cannot fail! May your family life results not be questionable!
Remain Blessed!
