Clothed with strength and honor

by  Bishop Boniface Runji
       
     Giving honour, Husbands honor your wife, if you don't value her you can't honor her.You honor her by words of affirmation. Let the words you tell her show honor. Never get married to someone who don't honor women.Family order, is biblical order: wife submit to her husband as the authority. Husband should give love to the wife.
   
     The family order requires that you honor one another.

 

    "Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered."1 Peter 3:7 (New King James Version) Give honor to her as aweaker vessel, weaker is comparative, the man is weak while the woman is weaker.Here it's talking about the physical features.Both wife and husband in the kingdom of God are equal.Both recieve grace, of life from God. Husband need to give honor by being kind and gentle. Honor her as the best friend.

 

 

    “ Make your wife your best friend. Willing to forgive one another. We are partners all the time.
When a woman honors the husband she will give her the place of authority.”
 
      God said let us make man. This was male and female. There should not be competition. Never marry someone because of money, beauty, because they can be temporary. Before God a woman and man are equal participants in the kingdom.

 

     Culturally women struggle to find identity. God created them equal and each has a purpose. A woman is not property; She is created in the likeness of God. They both carry the image of God. Don't get intimidated by the ideas from women. 
 
    The two husband and wife are complementary they cannot compete. If someone dosen't know the purpose abuse is inevitable. Men complement your wives and vice versa. Your responsibility to your wife is to make her value to be seen. Men and women were to have Dominion.

 

"Women need to discover the joy of dignity. "
