In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God’s gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered. -1 Peter 3:7(NLT)
EQUAL PARTNER IN GOD’S EYES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you a husband who do not honor your wife?
Honor your wife just as the church was treated by Christ
She may be weaker but an equal partner in God’s eyes
If you want your prayers answered, do not have biases.
God made us all in his image and likeness
He wants us to live in his grace and faithfulness
Treat everyone like you would like to be treated
Love and honor women if you want to be respected.
________________________________________
There have been many women who suffered oppression, partiality and even abuse from their own fathers, husbands, bosses because of their gender. I am not a feminist but I believe that God created men and women equally. There are things a man can do that a woman can’t and vice-versa. Our society have twisted the roles of men and women for centuries. This is the enemy’s tactic.
The bible cautions men, especially husbands to treat their wives with love, patience and understanding. In God’s eyes, they are not under but equal to you.
PRAYER
Lord, let all husbands treat their wives with honor.
REFLECTION
What is the consequence of maltreating your wife in 1 Peter 3:7?

For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. – Ephesians 5:22 (NLT)
SUBMIT AS TO THE LORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you find it difficult to obey and succumb to authority?
The Lord wants you to follow him in all so you can have victory
For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord
When you reflect on Christ’s love for all, you can’t help but applaud
If you love your spouse like Christ loves his church unconditionally
You will find it easy to succumb to your beloved wholeheartedly
Surrender all your faculties and gifts for God’s kingdom,
It will bring so much peace, joy, love and freedom.

The bible defines the word “submit” as to follow or succumb to authority without resistance. This word had a very negative impact on me as I was growing up because healthy boundaries was something that we didn’t apply. I had a lot of trouble following authority figures in my life. Even though I was a law-abiding citizen, I found it hard to relate with authority figures.
God delivered me from all of my lawlessness and I never want to disobey the Lord anymore. As a wife, I am expected to follow my husband’s leadership in marriage as I would obey the Lord. I was assigned a husband to be my leader.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for the authorities in my life that you anointed.
REFLECTION
Why is it important for us to submit to the Lord?
