The Wife of your Dreams (Ramson Mumba)

Ephesians 5:25-27

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

Every day that you wake up, God will give you a fresh Word. If you will spend time with Him and linger in His presence for just a little while, He will speak to you, and the Word He speaks will cleanse your soul. It will wash off the anxiety that you woke up with and strengthen you for the day. It will be the download of wisdom that you need to win.

That is His strategy for presenting to Himself a church filled with glory. Notice He is not coming back for a broken down, desperate, weak and diminishing church. He is coming back for a glorious church. That means that you and I have an appointment with glory – not in the age to come, but right here on Earth.

This isn’t just about the church however. It’s about marriage. The time for running our relationships according to the movies and the TV has to be over. We have access to far greater wisdom so that our marriages are not broken down or weak either.

Husbands, the only way you will ever have the wife you long for, is if you make it your responsibility to love her unconditionally and without pressure to change, by the same strategy that God plans to raise up His church. You don’t need to find a different woman, you need to understand how to wash the one you have with the water of the Word and present her to yourself as the woman of your dreams.

There is no special case. Every woman will respond to being loved and spoken to like she is the apple of your eye. If she is all twisted and bitter and angry, and you have been married for more than five years, you should have washed all that mess off by now!

It’s not about quoting the scripture to her, and correcting her with a verse from the law! It’s about telling her how unique and special she is. It’s about reassuring her, comforting her and letting her know she is beautiful, because that is how God treats us. It’s about bringing a fresh Word of faith, encouragement and vision to her day by day. Whatever your situation, if you will start today, you can turn it around with the Word. Watch and see what the Lord will do!

Pray

Heavenly Father, thank you that you are such a GOOD FATHER! Thank you for feeding me by your Word every day. Your Word washes me and cleanses me of the things that hold me down. I expect your glory in my life!

Thank you, too, for wisdom for my relationships. I turn away from getting my relationship wisdom from the world. I set my faith for a marriage that is filled with glory and I receive the wisdom of God to bring it to pass, in Jesus’  name!
