DIVINE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE FAMILY

THE WIFE FUNCTIONING AS THE RIB 

Text: Gen 2:21-23(KJV) 

The Rib represents the pillar of support for the body-the body structure is built around the ribs. The woman is the helper and the pillar of destiny. 


THE WIFE FUNCTIONS AS THE PILLAR OF LIFE AND SUPPORT TO HER HUSBAND just as the rib functions as the pillar for the body. 

(a) Physical Support: Her presence in her husband’s life makes a whole lot of positive difference. Eccl 4:9-10(KJV) 

(b) Verbal Support: She speaks to encourage her husband with wisdom without a domineering attitude and posture. Prov 31:26(KJV, The Message) 

(c) Emotional Support (She boosts the morale of the Husband): A responsible wife does not castigate, scandalise or criticise her husband openly. She does not make it a vocation to get her husband angry and lose control Prov 21:9(NLT, Easy-to-Read Version.), Prov 21:19 (Easy-to-Read Version.), Prov 27:15-16(Easy-to-Read Version) 

(d) Economic and Financial Support - Prov 31:14-19(KJV) Therefore there is no biblical reason for you to have resources, accounts and money that your husband has no knowledge of it truly you are a Kingdom family. Support your husband with your wealth and resources. His success is your success. 

(e) Spiritual Support: she prays for her husband and agrees with her husband in prayers; she also encourages her husband in spiritual matters. She also creates atmospheres for prayers to be answered. - Matt 18:19-20(KJV)  

Conclusion: Every woman is either a supporting pillar or a caterpillar; prepare yourself to be a supporting pillar.

Prayer Point: Oh Lord, please help me to be a supporting rib to my husband.
