BE A GOOD BUILDER

November 22, 2014 · Lanre Oyeleke · 3 views

Prov14:1 A wise woman builds her home,

but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands. NLT

I read the story of a woman who won't allow her husband make love to her except he fulfil certain conditions she laid down. There are lots of women that have turned their bodies to pay before you touch. It baffles me why the scripture said that a wise woman builds her home yet her husband is the head.

The simple logic that comes to mind is that if the man is the head, then the wife is the neck and the head can only turn wherever the neck wants. A man is a foundation layer but a woman is to build on that foundation. Some women tear down their marriages with bad words, wrong attitude to in-laws and indifference to sex.

Do not be a wife that spends the school fees of your children on parties. If you're not married as a lady, start developing yourself to become a good home builder. You can acquire the needed knowledge to be a good builder from God's word especially some chapters in the book of proverbs and other anointed materials written by women of proven integrity.

Also, you need to submit to a mentor whose marriage is a model. Wise counsel from wise men&women is a priceless asset.

Action point

CONFESSION: - Whether the devil like it or yes, my marriage shall be solidly built in love, peace and harmony. My home shall fulfil God's purpose In Jesus Name.
