Women Mattaz Part One: Indictment 


I strongly believe that this anonymous write-up is totally wrong. Yes, I'm not a married man neither do I have an experience. But by grace I'm a bride to my Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. 5:23; Jn. 3:29; Rev. 21:9) and I've tasted of the heavenly gift— the Holy Spirit (Heb. 6:5). And thus I write:

Genesis 2:18 NIV
THE LORD GOD SAID, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I WILL MAKE A HELPER SUITABLE FOR HIM.”

In other words, God was saying that he would favour man with a helper. Who is this helper? Simple, A WOMAN!

Let's dig deeper:
Proverbs 18:22 NIV
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favour from the Lord.

To find, in this case refers to a man's communication with God (PRAYER). How did I know? Alright, without much stress, this verse has a cross-reference in Job 33:26 and Prov. 8:35

Job 33:26 NIV
then that person can PRAY TO GOD and FIND FAVOUR with him, they will see God’s face and shout for joy; he will restore them to full well-being.

Proverbs 8:35 NIV
For those who FIND me find life and RECEIVE FAVOUR FROM THE LORD.

Let me supplement Prov. 8:35 with the succeeding verse; Proverbs 8:36 NIV
But those who FAIL TO FIND me HARM THEMSELVES; all who hate me love death.

Just like Adam, who had fellowship with God and God favoured him with a helper— a wife.

Now, Proverbs 12 gives us a picture of contrast between a man who must have prayed before going into marriage and a man who must have failed to pray before going into marriage.

Proverbs 12:2-4 NIV
Good people obtain favour from the Lord, but he condemns those who devise wicked schemes. [3] No one can be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted. [4] A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.

Lemme give you one more;
Proverbs 19:14 NIV
Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but A PRUDENT WIFE IS FROM THE LORD.

2024: THE YEAR OF ESTABLISHMENT

Hosea‬ ‭2:23‬ ‭GNB I will establish my people in the land and make them prosper. I will show love to those who were called “Unloved”, and to those who were called “Not-my-People” I will say, “You are my people,” and they will answer, “You are our God.” The Lord is about to prosper us in all areas of our life, but He must first establish us in Him. It is until we're established in Him, our prosperity will have no root to last long. The Lord has said to us, “I will establish you.” Another area of God's establishment this year is in the area of His love. Ephesians 3:17 NIV So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. The Lord has said to us, “I will uproot every plant that I have not planted. And get you rooted and established in My love.” (Matt. 15:13; Eph. 3:17). Falsehood will die as Truth will thrive. Every wind of doctrine will vanish, because the full knowledge of Christ will be established.  Strange practi

 PHRONESIS DEVOTIONAL 30 DAYS DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM September 22, 2023. Topic: TRUE RICHES Bible Reading: Matthew 6:19-34 Verse for Meditation: 1 Timothy 6:6 NLT Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. About sexual temptation, if you are struggling to break free, you must first be saved so that you can be given the Holy Spirit to empower you to live above sin. But breaking free and living constantly above sin; especially sexual sins, it take discipline and consistency. You don’t stay fit on the first day you go to the gym to work out; it takes consistent exercise and discipline to achieve that, so does exercising ourselves towards godliness (1Tim. 4:7). When you fall, you need to rise again to continue with the exercise. It was a constant practice that made that sexual habit called addiction. So you need to deliberately keep at it constantly till the appetite to sin dies. Spiritual attack is real, but what we call spiritual attack is actually a lack of knowle

I John 5:4-5 [4]For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

Our last year theme—our subject of discussion for last year was “WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CHRIST.” And we shared some lovely articles that correlate with that theme.
