Topic: COMPANION NOT COMPETITORS

Memorize:  “And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.” Malachi 2:15.

Scripture Reading: Genesis 2:18.

EXPOSITION

Man was created to fulfill God’s mandate. The foundation upon which the happy home stands is love and companion. God at his appointed time gave Eve to Adam when he discovered his need for an help meet. He (Adam) was never the one complaining but God saw the need. When Adam saw her, he was happy and felt fulfilled. He discerned that she was bone of his bones, and flesh of his flesh. He immediately named her, woman. Which mean, taken out a man. She is not another male man, but one with the responsibility of being an help meet, to help him do what he cannot do by himself and for possibility of reproduction. Woman is a man with womb. Therefore, she is not a competitor with the man, but a companion; an help meet – helper. We must therefore discover the our individual roles in having happy home and be ready to do it.

God demands that the man should love his wife unconditionally. No beating, no cheating. And from the wife, God demand total submission from her to her husband. If at all she is higher than her husband spiritually, financially, professionally, etc, her submission to her husband is the key to unlock her heavenly blessings and having heaven on earth joyful home. Where there is competitive spirit, there is death. At this time, true love from the husband will not let him take her submission for granted, not to cheat on her. God has made the two of you companion to each other with God as the faithful witness between the two of you. May God bless your home richly in Jesus name. 

Prayer Point:

1. Lord, visit my home and make it a glorious home indeed where true companionship is reigning.

2. Lord, help all the broken homes to be restore and made peaceful and happy in Jesus name.
