Hey Woman! You've got to Ask these of the Lord, if you Want the Success of your Dream Home.

In our world today, there are so many things women have reconciled themselves to. Despite that; there's still a tiny flicker of hope that one's marriage should be different. If every other man is cheating, smoking, drinking etc, one wishes hers won't be part of such. But then as a woman wishing isn't just enough, you have to take some steps and ask of the Lord for the following qualities.


1) Good Understanding: This will enable you know where, when and how to handle situations. There is a right time for everything. And doing the right thing at the wrong time is an easy way of compounding situations.

2) Beautiful Countenance: Beauty they say "lies in the eyes of the beholder" but you must know having a beautiful countenance is not about your physical appearance alone but it encompasses your entire entity. Your ability to smile through the storm and say to your husband "the storm will pass" when one is ravaging. Hold together the home from falling apart when it is being attacked. We all know there are forces both internal which involves compatibility and external ones from extended family members and society at large. I don't mean to say your physical appearance matters not; but your beauty should reflect from within you and not  just about the make up which serves as cover up.  
1 Samuel 25

3) Industrious Hands: You must have heard or read that the woman is the home maker, its her duty to construct, structure and restructure her home to be an ambiance of peace. A place everyone should look forward to coming with delight to rest after a hectic day. Husbands; after work, children after school of course. And her role as an help-meet shouldn't be neglected. Proverbs 31:10-31, Genesis 2:18.
    Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
     Honor her for all that her hands have done,
    and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.


4) A Heart of Gold: I believe every relationship is a 'state of emergence'; one must be prepared to expect the expected and be ready to make allowances. Simply; ability to forgive and forget offenses. As the saying still remains "no man is a perfect being" everyone makes mistakes, so, expect it and deal with it graciously.

5) A Powerful Mouth: You need your mouth to speak positively concerning your home in prayers. The success of every home lies on the grace to be 'a praying wife.' Please, this is not about going from one prayer house to another but about spending time on your knees to intercede for your family. I remember listening to Joyce Meyer response to her family when they complained about her spending much time behind close door and she said 'they should be thankful to God for the time she spends there because that's why they can enjoy the privileges they have today.' 
    Your mouth will also enable you to keep communication afloat in the house, instead of nursing grudges in the heart; it should help to correct and correct the children until, they get to understand and follow the ways of the Lord. Now, you don't need to scream down the roof top in doing that Lol! 1 Samuel 1:10

6) A Resilient Spirit: This will help you to be slow to anger, speak and be able to listen to others when they need to speak and be submissive to your husband, James 1:19 instead of commandeering every conversation. Also, it should enable you to condole extended family members, friends excesses without blowing off  the roof top or exploding with anger like a volcano eruption.

7) A Melodious Voice: This is to sing of your lord (husband) praise, rejoice in all times. 1 Peter 3:6; 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. This is not about your voice ringing out like the Nightingale but recognizing the efforts your husband puts in being the HEAD of the family, no matter how little.

In all that have been written that you've read now or in time past, you must never fail to put God first in everything you do as a woman. Especially before committing to that relationship. Enjoy your Saturday and don't forget "life is worth living and people worth loving." Cheers!
