"Husband does not mean the male partner in a marriage, husband means master" - Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
Although this article was shared on Facebook
page: Christ Embassy.Org Online Missions on
September 4th and attributed to Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome, it did not gain attention until
someone related it to the Pastor's former
marriage. Anyway, according to the founding
president of Christ Embassy, a Husband does
not mean the male partner in a marriage but
rather master. That the beauty of a woman lies
in listening to her husband and most women
have never been taught by their fathers, hence
they think their husband is another woman.
Read below.
"Husband does not mean the male
partner in a marriage, husband means
master. The reason for most problems in
Christian marriages is the fact that
women refute God’s definition of marriage
and form theirs. They believe they are
equal partners.
If most women had their fathers bold enough to
talk to them, they will be very successful in their
marriage and they will be very happy people.
Most women have never been taught by their
parents, their fathers particularly and that’s their
biggest problem because they don’t know who a
man is, they think he is another woman.
In marriage, you have the man who is the head
of that union and because he’s the head of that
union, its important to understand him. You
think he’s the one that needs to understand his
wife and that is where you are wrong. He will
eventually but you have to know the type of
man you are married to and his needs.
When you say you are marrying a man, you are
coming under his authority. The Bible says, the
man is the head of the woman (1 Corinthians
11:3) so when you marry him you come under
his authority, you are not authority sharers even
though you are both heirs to the kingdom of
God.
When you decide not to subject yourself to that
authority, you are a rebel and God is not going
to accept what you are doing because you are
not functioning correctly. Why did God make the
woman?
Making woman was not God’s original plan
because after God created Adam and before He
made Eve, He said in Genesis 1:31 “Then God
looked over all he had made, and he saw that it
was very good”. God made woman because of
man so woman was not His original idea. This
is reality.
Genesis 2:18a “And the Lord God said “for it is
not good for a man to be alone..” The Bible
didn’t say “lonely” but “alone”. There is a big
difference. Man wasn’t lonely but alone. Genesis
2:18b “…I will make him an help meet”. He
didn’t say a partner or a supervisor or a special
advisor or someone to tell him what to do.
I will make him someone to help him. God gave
man a responsibility so woman was made to
help man achieve that responsibility. If this is
understood in every home then you won’t have
problems.
I tell people that you don’t need a marriage
seminar, you need the Word Seminar. Let me tell
you, no husband wants another mother, he has
had one all his life. He doesn’t want an older
sister, he probably had one.
Your secret is in obedience, your secret is in
listening to your husband, your secret is in doing
the things that please him. When you don’t do
the things that please him, you take the role of a
mother or of an older sister.
A man loves the one he serves (God) and the
one that serves him (a good wife). He fights the
one that wants to be at the same level with him
(a rebellious wife).
To be happy in your family and home is the
easiest thing in the world, just take your role.
Take your place. That place that God gave you
is a beautiful place. Its a place of peace. Its a
place of love. It’s a place of excellence.
Every wise person listens to wise voices (advice)
but he listens to a wise voice that is presented
wisely.
Everyone rebels against the voice that is trying
to make a fool out of him. When you want to
correct your husband, don’t lord it over
him,present it as a wise suggestion. Humble
yourself and be smart.
A wise woman will always be an influence to her
husband, the foolish one will always annoy the
husband, make him mad, make him angry and
when you make him angry, you will be the
victim. Learn to listen to your husband, practice
it, tell yourself that you are going to do it
because that is where your beauty is.
Once you stop listening, your beauty evaporates.
You wonder why you are dressing and he can’t
see it, he doesn’t remember your last hair style.
Beauty is in obedience. That’s where the Glory
is.''
