WHAT WIVES SHOULD DO

August 02, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

1Pet3:1 In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over(2 )by observing your pure and reverent lives. NLT

We live in a world of women liberation campaign. I keep asking myself, who is the person that put women in bondage? I noticed that there is a systematic rebellion against the word of God worldwide. I agree with the fact that culture and dogma in certain countries has not been fair to women. A culture that looks down on women as mere object of sexual satisfaction is devilish.

I believe there should be strong laws against wife battery and laws of inheritance also has to be revisited in some cultures; when women lead campaign of equality with their husbands in marriage, that's totally unscriptural. In marriage, men and women are not equal but outside marriage, we are equal. I am not superior to another woman that isn't my wife. The scripture limited the issue of submission to wives not women. God foresaw that a time like this would come so he instructed wives to be submissive.

Submission to your husband is not negotiable neither should you submit with a clause. Some are trying to re write the bible by saying that submission is conditional. The scriptures didn't say so; submission isn't weakness, it is role God has given wives to fulfil. For women with unbelieving husbands, submission is a form of evangelism that can attract such men to Christ.

When it is convenient and when it is not, wives submit to your husbands.

Action point

Father, I receive the grace to submit to my husband's authority In Jesus name.
