Marriage: A Type of the Union Between Jesus and the Church
“In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word; seeing your pure behavior in fear. Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing; but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious. For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror. You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.” (1 Peter 3:1-7 WEB)
Subjecting yourself to your husband doesn’t mean that you can’t have a discussion.
Discuss and tell your husband your advice, thoughts and concerns, but trust him to make the final decision.
Whatever he chooses, he will have to bear full responsibility for the consequences just as he has the full authority to make a decision.
When you behave like this, not quarrelsome and submitting for Jesus’ sake, your pure behavior will convict the heart of a husband who has backslidden from God’s ways.
Ladies, your inward beauty (character) is far more important and attractive than your outward beauty.
The opposite of a gentle and quiet spirit which is very precious to God is a proud and contentious spirit.
Just as believers should humbly submit to Jesus, so wives should submit to their husbands because marriage is a type of this union between Jesus and the church.
Feminism has taken things too far. Instead of championing for women to be treated well and cared for loving by men, extreme feminism stirs women up to rebel against male leadership.
Men and women are created for different roles to fulfill—it’s not about which gender is better.
Just by biology, it is obvious that man is made stronger to go out and work to provide for the family, whereas women have the unique ability to bear children and nurse them—they are blessed with the role of motherhood and to rule over household matters.
Neither gender should aim to exalt itself over the other or try to jump roles—they should just focus on fulfilling their own respective roles.
Sarah called Abraham “lord”. I believe she wasn’t forced to. Abraham didn’t tell her to call him that. She did it of her own accord in obedience to God and fully embraced her role of womanhood.
She’s a blessed, stellar example for women of God, blessed with renewal of physical beauty to reflect her precious inward beauty.
Husbands, give your wife honor—respect her views, feelings and give her first priority—be willing to sacrifice yourself for her.
Give in to her whenever possible and treat her like a precious gem.
A husband who mistreats his wife, such as abusing her or treating her like trash will hinder himself in prayers (it’s not God hindering it)—his own conscience will accuse him and make him feel unworthy to be in God’s presence or to receive any blessings from God.
The resulting unbelief makes his prayers ineffective—this is self-sabotage.
Both male and female believers are children of God and joint-heirs with Christ—in eternity, women won’t have to subject themselves to husbands anymore.
If you did poorly as a husband and your wife kept submitting to you for the Lord’s sake, her eternal rewards will be greater than yours and she may even have authority over you as a leader in Christ’s Millennial kingdom.
It’s pointless to compare which gender is better. Just focus on being the best you can in the gender God created you as, and you’ll be richly rewarded by Jesus.

My Takeaways from Proverbs 25 (Powerful Revelations today!)
To never miss a new post:
1. Like this Facebook page.
2. Click “Following”, then under “In my news feed”, select “Show First”.
(Day 18 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -
http://www.miltongoh.net/miltons-blog/the-year-of-hesed-wisdom-vision-sunday-new-creation-church-theme-of-the-year-2018 ):
The powerful and life-changing truths of God are hidden in the Bible from our human eyes.
Only through the Holy Spirit can we gain revelation and understanding about God’s word.
How we “search out a matter” is by reading the Bible and praying for the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus in the word to us.
We are unable to fully comprehend the wisdom in God’s heart and mind, but we can gain insight to it through His word.
“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, So the hearts and minds of kings are unsearchable.” (PROVERBS 25:2-3 AMP)
Silver is put through intense heat to separate the dross from it.
When we go through fiery trials in life, God takes the opportunity to purify us, to work on our hearts so that we become wiser than before.
The newfound wisdom makes us more obedient to God’s leading in our hearts -
to be led by the Spirit to walk by faith and not led by the flesh to walk by sight.
“Take away the dross from the silver, And there comes out [the pure metal for] a vessel for the silversmith [to shape].” (PROVERBS 25:4 AMP)
When things are not going your way in a discussion or partnership with someone, do not clash head-to-head.
You can’t expect to gain a kiss by punching the other party.
Firstly, pray for God to grant you favor with the other party and for his or her heart to be open and willing to receive what you have to say.
Then a better way would be to use a soft and gentle approach, to win the heart of the other party through showing God’s love and goodness.
“By patience and a calm spirit a ruler may be persuaded, And a soft and gentle tongue breaks the bone [of resistance].” (PROVERBS 25:15 AMP)
This applies to many neutral things that are neither good or bad in themselves.
For example, it is okay to enjoy drinking a glass of wine once in a while, but if you over-indulge to the point of drunkenness or addiction, then it’s sinful.
Another example would be watching movies and shows: if you watch a movie or show while pacing yourself, it’s okay. But if you spend so many hours watching them everyday and are addicted and losing precious sleep over them, then it’s sinful.
It’s sinful when you let something control and distract you to point of constantly making bad decisions.
“Have you found [pleasure sweet like] honey? Eat only as much as you need, Otherwise, being filled excessively, you vomit it.” (PROVERBS 25:16 AMP)
This is definitely counterintuitive. Even if you don’t feel like being kind to your enemy, do it anyway as an obedience to God.
Precisely because it’s difficult to do, that’s why God promises to reward you for choosing to live by faith and not by your emotions.
“If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire upon his head, And the LORD will reward you.” (PROVERBS 25:21-22 AMP)
This seems to imply that when pastors, ministers, preachers, evangelists, leaders etc. from overseas come to preach the gospel of grace as a guest speaker, the resulting effect is a strong spiritual satisfaction in the congregation.
This principle can be clearly seen in the case of Pastor Joseph Prince, where people who listen to his sermons from overseas are so hungry to feed on his sermons!
Conversely, some people who attend New Creation Church in Singapore and see Pastor Prince live every week on Sunday could take him for granted.
Jesus talked about this when He said “a prophet is not welcome in his home country”.
“Like cold water to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a distant land.” (PROVERBS 25:25 AMP)
When we are in a setting that’s surrounded by non-believers, there is a tendency to fit in by adopting their worldly manner of speech, actions and decisions.
However we don’t have to impress them, we just need to be right with God and God will grant us the favor with them.
Do the right thing at all times based on the truth that you know.
Don’t let the world drag you down to their level - rise above it by living according to God’s word.
“Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring Is a righteous man who yields and compromises his integrity before the wicked.” (PROVERBS 25:26 AMP)
Pray for self-control - it is one of the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Pastor Prince taught before that you can’t produce a fruit by your works, it grows out as a result of life.
Instead of trying to control yourself by using your efforts and willpower, you can gain true self-control when you constantly feed on God’s word for nourishment: read the Bible and listen to Jesus-centered sermons.
“Like a city that is broken down and without walls [leaving it unprotected] Is a man who has no self-control over his spirit [and sets himself up for trouble].” (PROVERBS 25:28 AMP)
