SECRET DESIRES
As women you wish that your mate would measure up to others in his league or even as your girlfriend's husband. You compare his skills, his ability to provide, his career type and even his spiritual talents. You secretly wish, fantasize and dream about him as someone else. There are many what ifs, suppose he, wish he would, wish he could etc.... Many secret desires lie within your heart as you watch daily the man that you married become more laid back than ever with his career, dreams and spiritual mission.
Perhaps you are satisfied because you have a lucrative job and prominent position or you just couldn't be bothered because he pays the bills and does what you demand. Is he being taken advantaged of by others, discouraged by you, his family and friends, or is his niceness keeping him from achieving and or accomplishing his own dreams and desires?
In the process are you.....
Critical or condemning?
Pushy or bossy?
Belittling his position, income or career?
Implementing your own will and desires on him?
Speaking bad about his ability to do or not to do with others?
Do you accuse and judge him?
Embarrass of him?
Wishing that he could preach, teach, sing or be like the other spiritual leaders you know?
Are you asking, when is he going to move or get going? Let's pray...
TODAY'S PRAYER - (Revive Your Heart by Nancy Leigh DeMoss)
Pray that your husband will surrender his time and talents to the Lord. Pray that his spiritual gifts will be manifest in his career, at church, and in your home. (Eph. 5:15-16; 1 Cor. 12:4, 7)
Pray that your husband will surrender his time and talents to the Lord. Pray that his spiritual gifts will be manifest in his career, at church, and in your home. (Eph. 5:15-16; 1 Cor. 12:4, 7)
Begin today's prayer by asking God to forgive you in the areas where you have not been kind, apologize to your husband if need be and tell him that you would like to help him bring to life his dreams and desires. It will profit you in the long run and reap many coveted rewards.
TODAY'S TOPIC - BE A MIDWIFE
Midwives are very important to the delivery of a baby. As the midwife stands as coach, looks for signs of harm to the baby and the mother. As a wife you are a midwife ("help meet") and play a vital role in the birthing of your husband's "baby." Let's look to today's prayer scriptures. While they are designed to be prayed for your husband, let's look at it from the midwife prospective:
SEEK TO BE WISE-
Encourage your husband to pursue academic interest, technical, skill or apprentice process to achieve wisdom and knowledge so he will be able to act and perform in accordance to that desire or goal.
Ephesians 5:15-16 (KJV)
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
IDENTIFY THE GIFT
Review his strengths in areas that he is talented and gifed, and get him help or training (ie.. Musical- purchase the instrument or get lessons) Let him practice on the things he is good at and give him a chance to perfect it.
1 Corinthians 12:4 (KJV)
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
USE GIFTS TO BLESS GOD AND BENEFIT OTHERS
The world is calling the talents of the church into the world. Many of the gifted folks in church came from the secular world, and most of our men have left the church and are now using their gifts to profit themselves and fulfill their lust and desires of the flesh. Help him cultivate a passionate desire for God and His kingdom so he can use his talents for the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 12:7 (KJV)
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
ACTIVITY
Be thankful that you are blessed with a husband and stop wishing secretly that he is what he is not. Meet him and accept him for who he is and where he is. Begin by identifying what your husband is good at, identify his skill, and interest, write them down. Then list what you can do as a midwife or what you can both do together to help him birth, rediscover or maintain that gift.
Find someone in the bible that speaks to you that has mentored or help someone "birth their baby." Make a list of spiritual or natural midwives you know and watch their skills and strategies. (ie. Elijah, Naomi etc...)
Be patient, Rome was not built in a day, and you too had to go through a process before you arrived. Know also that there are so many who are wishing to have what you have, and would like to trade places or even steal what you have. The delivery should come after completing all the trimesters. Anything forced or rushed will be pre-mature or still born. That could be just as bad or even worse than his previous state.
Remember, in these difficult times be careful how you act and behave. God has given you special abilities and gifts by His Spirit. The Holy Spirit displays God’s power through each of you as a means of helping your husband, family, church and community. As midwives, (help meets) you have the God given ability to help birth your husband into purpose for God's glory! Use that talent as a wise woman and build your husband up let that baby come forth and become a witness and a testimony of life to many!
