AN EXCELLENT WOMAN

AN EXCELLENT WOMAN.

The scripture says God made a woman out of a man. He brought her to the man. When the man saw her he excitingly acknowledged, “This is the flesh of my flesh and the bone of my bone.” By excellent, it means outstanding, valor and wonderful. An excellent woman could mean an outstanding creation of God out of man. She’s outstanding in behavior and attitude. Whosoever finds her finds a good thing and enjoy favor from her creator [Proverbs 18:22]. She is a great ambassador to her family and shall bring them neither shame nor disgrace but honor and joyfulness. She is a woman of substance who brings honor and praise to her creator and her husband. She’s a cherish jewelry that represents not only heaven but community of faith on earth. Since she met her soul mate, she has continuously remained a joyful ornament and marvelous companion to her husband. She has so much space in her dedicated to God that God’s spirit dwells in her and manifest immensely; brings uncommon favor to her head.

An excellent woman is a wise woman who builds her home; does not pull down [Proverbs 14:1]. She has her foundation built in her Lord and Savior. Her wonderful disposition, dedication and commitment to her faith in Jesus cause her Spirit-man reaches out to the Spirit of God and obtain result. She is a wonderful worshipper, who magnifies the Lord in praise; whose combined melody reach high heaven to provoke open heavens. She is a helpmate, amazing companion and great resource to her husband and family. An excellent woman accepts marriage challenges and draws her faith and strength from the foundation built by Christ Jesus. She understands the mechanism of a master builder and with these skills she builds her home.

She accepts the scripture as true and submits to the authority of God in marriage: For marriage to be successful couples must cleave together and become a unit and one. A husband is the head of the home and a wife, the neck without which the head cannot turn. This is a command not concession; does not depend on who makes higher income or holds prestigious jobs. She understands that a Christian woman conquer her battles on her kneels by submission and humility to God the owner of the institution of marriage and the owner of her husband. God will fight her battles and turn her husband around but she can’t. She submits to her husband in all things; not in pretence, in competition or independence [Colossians 3:18; Ephesians 5:22].

An excellent woman understands that builders neither pull down nor destroy. She is committed to keep the relationship: harness, repair and renovates; daily lift up her man to God and find ways to respect as well as appreciate him and cherish his efforts. She understands that it takes patience and perseverance and faith in God to build a solid home. She wears forgiveness as inner dress; a tooth brush that daily purges the union clean. Since marriage is a relationship of two imperfect people, there is always the tendency of minor squabbles that can be resolved promptly without freeze up; yield each other into the river of forgiveness and bathe it with the blood of the Lamb. She makes her spouse a priority and takes not her love for granted. She ensures issues are resolved amicably daily before they go to bed. She has no room to harbor bitterness, grudges, and envy but hates evil, love good and upholds mercy and justice.

An excellent woman is a Spirit filled woman with high sense of morally and good judgment. She is cleaved together to the husband and makes no room for any other person. She is a clean woman with admirable and humble disposition. “For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey. And her mouth is smoother than oil. But in the end she is bitter as wormwood…..her feet go down to death; her steps lay hold of hell….[Proverbs 5:3-5; 6:26]. Instead, “The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil; all the days of her life. Strength and honor are her clothing. She shall rejoice in time to come [Proverbs 31:11-12, 25].Who can find her? An excellent woman is a woman of valor. She is diligent and hardworking. She willingly works with her hands to provide food and care for her household. From time immemorial, woman of valor had combined trade and house-care. It did not matter where they were, they managed both trade and home; while at work they monitor what obtains at home.

In this era, where the price of keeping a home is increasingly demanding, some women of valor bake more bacon than their spouses. They have been extremely supportive to the husband and family. While other women who dance to the galaxies allow this source of blessing to become a measure of competition and comparism between them and spouses. If the situation is not arrested timely, the ‘boom’ may soon result into ‘doom.’ The women of valor cleave to their husband and become a unit, a couple, and one; allow this source of additional income become a blessing to family. She cloth her household with scarlet; extend her benevolence to the needy and poor. Her husband is known far off in the gates, even when he sits among the elders of the land because she makes for him unique attires that bring honor to her head.

An excellent woman of valor has a merry heart that promotes cheerful countenance. She opens her mouth with wisdom and her tongue is the law of kindness [Proverbs 15:13]. She watches over the ways of her household to ensure healthy behavior and mutual respect for self, elders and seniors and authorities. She guards her tongue and do not allow her disposition to cloud her judgment; curse, abuse or disrespect her husband. She understands and respects the authority in marriage institution and honor God in thankfulness for her gifts. The totality of the love and respect that exist with the parents flows down to the children. Little wonder her children rise up and call her blessed and her husband sing her praises not only in the charm and beauty of the body but most especially the beauty of character and attitude. Even though her husband had heard and seen many beautiful daughters [women] who have exhibited great behaviors and character of honor but his wife is extraordinary and uncommon; has excel them all. The source of her strengths in character is found in her fear of the Lord. Her works and goodness shall praise her not only at the gates but begins at home. Indeed an excellent woman of substance deserves praise. A prudent woman is from the Lord and a crown of her husband [Proverbs 12:4; 19:14b]. Have a great mother’s day.
