1st Peter 3 chapter 1 – 5 the Bible was clear on the role of women in the Christian home especially the wives. In this chapter, the Bible made it clear on the duties of the wife not today’s social media women that post everything on social media. The Bible is clear on how a wife would behave unlike today where many Christian women are losing it via social media and societal pressures. A Christian wife has a standard and that is what it is.
There is a different between a Wife and a Woman, a wife is a homebuilder. You see some Christian women looking so artificial, fixing all sorts of crazies on their body such as eyelashes etc. That is crazy and we must understand that the social media woman is different from the wife at home! You don’t hang around social media to impress folks. a Woman of substance is a woman with Godly character. what are these characters- patience, love and peace?
The earlier we know that not every woman will make a good wife! It is harsh but the truth is that some women are incorrigible and unamenable. There is a gift of wife and men must know that. A woman of substance can be described as a woman of virtue. A wife should respect the husband and any woman that respects the husband more than the husband is a terrible and wicked woman! So, women we must know this and know that family first.
A woman of substance isn’t a lazy woman but a very hardworking woman, but she must also know that husband is the head of the family not gender equality which the folks of this modern age are pushing! A wife is a gift and know that there must be balance in all we do as a woman.
There must be Godly attributes in a woman of substance, just like Esther in the bible demonstrated virtue unlike what some women wear to churches which is not good and decent, Queen Esther dressed well. A decent woman must always look decent at all times. The way you dress is the way you are addressed… Abigail and Deborah are other women of substance in the Bible.
Proverbs 31 Vs 30 was on point here, it is not all about being pretty or having great shape but do you fear God as a woman. If you don’t fear God as a woman, you have the tendency to misbehave…and majority of women don’t have this spirit of modesty. They always post their pictures and show off in social media…. this is to show that you have arrived. This isn’t modesty!
A woman of substance must be submissive, they must know that they need peace for home to be great. There should be a level of submission to the men, Men love their ego to be massaged so give it to your husband. A woman must know that it is not everything that you talk.
Don’t be like Jezebel and don’t allow social media to influence you or as a woman you start comparing your marriage with others …. contentment is the key. Women must keep their homes because devil is seeking to destroy homes and marriages. A Godly is trustworthy and self-control, not giving to gossips.
There must be Godly attributes in a woman of substance, just like Esther in the bible demonstrated virtue unlike what some women wear to churches which is not good and decent, Queen Esther dressed well. A decent woman must always look decent at all times.
