Heaven 20 November 2021 TOPIC: Wise
Wives Build their Homes
MEMORISE: Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the
foolish plucketh it down with her hands. – Proverbs
14:1
READ: 1 Peter 3:1-6 (KJV)
1. 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;
2. While they behold your
chaste conversation coupled with fear.
3. Whose adorning let it not
be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of
putting on of apparel;
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.
5. For after this manner
in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves,
being in subjection unto their own husbands;
6. Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nahum 1:1-21
Open Heaven 20 November 2021 MESSAGE:
Today’s devotional is mainly directed to
‘wives’, not just ‘women’. The reality is that not all women are wives. As many
as are trusting the Lord for a glorious change of status, I pray that God will
grant that good desire this season, in Jesus’ name. Wives – not mistresses or
‘bed-partners’, are divinely given the assignment of home-building. This is
because neither a mistress nor a bed-partner has the divine grace to build a
godly home. Beloved, it is wisdom that makes a woman a wife and according to
Proverbs 9:10, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

November 2021 – Before You Make that Vow
More importantly, Jesus is the Wisdom that
transforms a woman to a godly wife and then a home-builder. Sisters, when you
allow Jesus into your life, you cease to be an ordinary woman; you become a
virtuous and godly one. There is something we must take into cognizance in
today’s Scripture reading, and that is the phrase “by the conversation of the
wives”. ‘The wives’ here refers to God-fearing women who have been
distinguished by their chaste conversation and general conduct, which is
occasioned by the fear of the Lord, and not that of their husbands, per se. It
is wisdom when a wife builds her home.
Open Heaven 20 November 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
However, it is great foolishness for wives to pull down their
homes by themselves. Sadly, many women today have pulled down their homes and
are now roaming aimlessly on the ‘streets’ of life without any covering. They
may pretend that all is well but the truth is that they are hurting and nursing
regrets of their past actions internally. Some of them who are now considered
‘old wives’ or ‘ex-wives’ are on revenge missions – teaching younger wives to
pull down their homes in order to have them join in roaming the ‘streets’ of
life.
Sisters, beware of these deceivers. 1 Timothy 4:7 says: But refuse profane
and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. No matter
your achievements, as a Christian wife, you must be submissive to your husband
if you want peace, joy and progress in your home. I speak peace to whatever
trouble is in your home. I speak glory to whatever reproach is in your family
today, in Jesus’ name. Be wise; invite Jesus Christ into your home today.
Open Heaven 20 November 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Lord, please give me Your wisdom so I can build
my home in accordance with Your will today, in the mighty name of Jesus.
