Our pastor's wife

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: OUR PASTOR'S WIFE

We owe the pastor’s wife a great debt of love.

Proverbs 9:11 KJV
For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

I dedicate today's morning meal to my loving and caring wife, Pastor Omolola Israel on the occasion of her. Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR

No one in the church family is more vulnerable than the pastor’s wife. She is the key figure in the life of the pastor and plays the biggest role in his success or failure.

She is almost always a reliable helper as well as an under-appreciated servant.

The pastor’s wife can be hurt in a hundred ways–through attacks on her husband, her children, herself. Her pain is magnified by one great reality: she cannot fight back. She cannot give a certain member a piece of her mind for criticizing the pastor’s children,

She has to take it in silence, most of the time.

It takes the best Christian in the church to be a pastor’s wife and pull it off. And that’s the problem: in most cases, she’s pretty much the same kind of Christian as everyone else. When the enemy attacks, she bleeds.

She is the object of a world of expectations….

–She is expected to dress modestly and attractively, well enough but not overly ornate.

–She is expected to be the perfect mother, raising disciplined children who are models of well-behaved offspring for the other families, to be her husband’s biggest supporter and prayer warrior, and to attend all the church functions faithfully and, of course, bring a great casserole.

What we owe to the pastor’s wife….

1)We owe her the right to be herself. She is our sister in Christ and accountable to Him.

2) We owe her our love and gratitude. She has a one-of-a-kind role in the congregation which makes her essential to the church’s well-being.

3) We owe her our love and prayers. While the Father alone knows her heart, the pastor may be the only human who knows her burdens.

4) We owe her our responsible care. What does she need?

5) We owe it to the pastor and his wife to speak up. Sometimes, they need a friend to take their side.

6) We owe them protection for the pastor’s off days and vacations.

7) We owe them the our faithfulness and obedience in Christ service.

Do your part to make your Pastors wife happy.

LET US PRAY
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, I PRAY FOR OUR PASTORS WIFE TO BE BLESSED, HAPPY AND BE HELPED IN JESUS NAME. AMEN
