Seeking For a Wife

Thank God for this wonderful lesson, this always majorly for the youth who are yet to marry. A very impactful lesson I learned from Brother Eli, which teaches about seeking a wife and their purpose, which was addressed in 1 Corinthians 7:29, Proverbs 19:14, and as much as Genesis 2:18, all this gave a guideline for what our thoughts have to be the reason for a wife; hence, on that note, as much as I understood from this, it will explain the place of living within our faith.

Through the first verse that Brother Eli used emphasis and explanation through Apostle Paul, who went on to teach us the importance of living a life that is always filled with concentration over what we do in respect to achieving our aim that talked about eternity, which is about making our common goal of our faith with our partner, within that context, let us understand that marriage is never bad but an honor that has to be unto the glory of God.

Therefore, I have come to realize and understand that marriage should not hinder us from worshiping God in spite of the love and emotion in between, but we have to make God our first priority, which has to be doing God's work and also being spiritually inclined with the word that is main to lead us towards the path of righteousness, and within the book of Proverbs further our understanding that a wife is always a gift from God inasmuch as material things can be possessed by man down our generation, but wife remain a gift from God that no man can craft.

Looking towards the above scripture, let me understand that while we live within the boundary of our faith, there is every need for every believer to seek the traits from our surroundings, but a wife who is filled with wisdom that comes from our father, that's to tell you that a prudent and virtues wife is only from one source, which is always a blessing that gives and adds value to her husband and those within her, and that is the reason every believer has to be after a God-fearing man or woman.

To tell you that God cares for man, that is the reason he came up with his decision to make a woman for man, as is written in Genesis, the reason for this is that God recognized how incomplete that man is, which made him to introduce a woman to him who can be of a helping hand, a companion, and a partner to man just to complement and make a man complete in fulfillment to serve him with our whole heart.

● 1 Corinthians 7:29: This teaches that we believe we have to prioritize God first over our relationship or marriage.

● Proverbs 19:14: This teaches us that as believers we ought to marry and not to Mary foolishly but to marry a gift from God who is prudent.

● Genesis 2:18: This also teaches us that the wife is always from God, which is a helper and a companion mainly to fulfill God's work here on earth.
