GOFAMINT DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR FRIDAY 29/3/2019: WIVES DISPLAY TRUE BEAUTY

THE GOSPEL FAITH MISSION INTERNATIONAL (GOFAMINT)

MEMORY VERSE: 

But if anyone does not provide for his own and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and worse than an unbeliever (1 Tim. 5:8) NKJV

BIBLE READING: 1 PET. 3:1-6

1. Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your husbands; that if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives.

2. While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

3. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

4. But let it be hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in sight of God of great price.

5. For after this manner in the old tome the holy women also, who trusted God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

6. Eve as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

Message

Wives in Christian families should be submissive to their husbands and recognise them as the head of the family irrespective of their temperament and financial status. Mother in the house should make effort to win the husband and the children’s love to herself by her behaviour. 

Though the outward adornment appear attractive to some men, but none despises the inner beauty of the heart. The inner and enduring charm of a meek and quiet spirit brings the best out of a godly husband. It is also precious to God. 

Christian wives' complete loyalty to God in this materialistic and manipulative world is by displaying true beauty of the inner heart.

Point of Emphasis: True beauty is a matter of character not decoration.

Prayer Point: Holy Spirit, help our mummies in the house to adorn themselves with inner beauty.

Reading the Bible through in a Year: Isa. 48-50
