…I would like to thank God for the minister's wife. Many people do not know what goes through your life, but one thing I know as you keep trusting in the Lord, you see your vision coming to pass. Woman of God, remember you are anointed, called with a purpose to work along with your husband. Always never forget that the man of God is your first Pastor who God has called to minister to.
God keeps on revealing to me what is our calling and I would like to share with you some of the wisdom tips;
‘And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone, I will make him a help mate for him…Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh’ (Genesis 2:18,24).
* Concentrate on being an excellent wife.
* Desire your husband.
‘.. And thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee’ (Genesis 3:16).
Communicate with your husband
Communication reveals both of your strengths and the depths of your love. Communication eliminates resentment. For example, if you resent his studying on Saturday nights, you should communicate this and, together, work out a plan. Your search for truth will help him as you pursue his revelation and ideas.
Be an asset to your husband in his ministry
Celebrate your blessings.
Establish good communications.
People will not always hear and understand what you are saying. Good communication is your responsibility.
Never assume that you are understood totally.
Realize that the more you love and serve the people, the less some may like you.
Identify with the apostle Paul when he said, ‘and I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved’ (2 Corinthians 12:15).
Understand that most church members will consider you the minister’s wife.
They will not see you as his co-pastor-no matter what you responsibilities are.
Realize that your most effective work will be done in the background.
Often your husband’s success will depend on your silent strength.
Serve as a mediator
Most of the members will read your husband’s life through yours. ‘For none of us liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself’ (Romans 14:7).
Walk through the testing with your mate courageously.
For example, if he is facing a sickness, you will not only have to under gird him through the disease, but you will be exposed to it.
Discern your husband’s calling, vision, and mission.
Remember: when there is no option, there is always God.
‘So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God’ (Romans 8:8).
‘I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise’ (Romans 1:14).
‘Owe no man anything, but to love one another, for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law’ (Romans 13:8).
‘So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God’ (Romans 14:12).
Build your relationship with God.
He will not leave you out of your husband’s ministry. God has called the two of you to serve His people together. Remember, the two of you are now one. ‘..What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder’ (Matthew 19:6).
