Open
Heaven 20 December 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 1:1-15, Nahum 2:1-13, Nahum
3:1-19
Open Heaven 20 December 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. More importantly, Jesus is the Wisdom
that transforms a woman to a godly wife and then a home-builder.
Open Heaven 20 December 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
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. 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 December 2021 KEY 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.
