#SINGLES CORNER# THE POWER OF PRAISE and WORDS! Secret unveiled- You can disarm anyone even an enemy with praises and compliment. be generous praise Your marriage or relationship may be chaos cause of your words. Check it, you are always so defensive, always preparing for an attack. Always second guessing he or she will do things that way or this way to annoy you. The truth is what you have so carefully prepared for is what you are gonna get. Instead of criticizing, questioning and judging your partners every move , accept, praise and compliment them. See the best in them. Even sarah called Abraham “even as Sara obeyed Abraham calling him lord” Did you know that Abraham also obeyed Sara calling her “ruler”? GOD HIMSELF changed her name from Sarai (contentious) to Sarah (ruler) which means that every time Abraham addressed his wife by name, he called her “ruler” and he would have been very much aware of that. (so its only fair that she addressed him as lord- like a queen calling her husband king and vice versa) So you see its vice versa. “as Sara obeyed Abraham” Just as when Peter first penned God’s instructions to wives in 1 Pet 3:1-6 , from that day until this: wifely submission remains a powerful, redemptive, God-given response of a wife who is married to a disobedient husband! Sarah was God’s chosen role model and God must have His reasons for His choice Soooo, in order to better understand and obey God’s instructions to me, I spent quite a bit of time reading, studying, meditating upon, and praying about just how Sarah was: 1 Pet 3:5-6 They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah , who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. Sarah is not a shrinking violet, not a doormat, definitely has a voice in the relationship. Sarah is assertive and has quite a bit of power in her marriage relationship with Abraham! I learned from Sarah’s role model that godly submission can have an assertive face and is not always going to be pleasing to the husband. Look at this: Gen 21:10-12 So she said to Abraham, “Cast out this slave woman with her son; …And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham … But God said to Abraham, “Be not displeased… whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, Woman your words matters in your marriage, it can MAKE or UNMAKE IT. To help women to be FREE and to walk in their GOD GIVEN authority and dominion, go deeper into the WORD. Do not cast doubt what is GOD BREATHED, alive and active, sharper than any double edged sword! Look at Sarah here Genesis 21:9-12 KJV And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. And the thing was very grievous in Abrahams sight because of his son. And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. Exactly how much more authoritative can one get? All at once she speaks with authority into Abraham’s life, into history, and right into the Word of God in the new covenant Galatians 4:29-31 KJV But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. Whether as a man or woman theres inherent power (dunamis) in you, in your tongue, in your WORDS to cause change. Look at these two scenarios. This Mrs Steph talking to her hubby. James there we need to pay fees for the kids, l dont even see the money you work, better ready the money. Hubby: I dont have, do whatever you like. Husband: stephanie! Where are you, havent I warned you about too much salt, you want to kill me right! Wife: ok, then dont eat. Mrs Graces home to her hubby,Honey, my love, my general, world wealthiest, hmmm, you look handsome everyday you know.Sweetheart, WE need to sort the kids fees. Husband: Baby, money isnt available yet. Wife: God is big, WE will keep declaring the word, believe me hon, YOU ARE GETTING IT! I love you, I believe in you. Husband: sweetheart, (food is actuall tasteless) this food is hmmm..smiles...but lets look up the internet and try making this soup another style both of us, maybe weekend. Wife: really love, its ok. Now pick the home that cant help but move forward! You know it! WORDS! I have always prayed this prayer,,Lord season my speech with salt, that I might know how I ought to answer every man. There is a way to answer at all times. The Bible God delights in the praises of his people, NOT to talk of a man! Dear Jesus! Re-frame that home, that marriage, that relationship, that business with words! Bara! Create! Dont just Say IT, ACT It, LIVE IT. All we know is a life of Loving,keep LOVING, keep giving. Giving love, changing lives.
