HOW TO VALUE A WOMAN A woman is specially designed by God to play a helping role; she is to help to support and lead. Without a woman, reproduction is impossible. Each time you disvalue a woman, you disregard her Maker. Women have been disvalued from generation to generation especially in our culture and in Africa. This is the plan of the enemy not just to affect the women but to bring short the glory of her man, and to reduce the power of togetherness. A lot goes wrong, when you start to disvalue your woman. That African tradition of mistreating women is not for the good of the man or the home; by mistreating your woman you are only removing the glory God has placed on your life. The word says “…for the woman is the glory of a man…” and it further says that a man is the glory of God. That is why God places much value on us to the point of giving His only Son in other to get us back. This is the same way you should work so hard to value and respect your woman; because without her, your life is void of favor and glory. Many men because of cultural background see women as inferior whether spoken or not, they feel they are superior to women. But that is for people living under a cursed life. One of the ways you know if you are living under the blessed life is the way you see women. God created man and woman equally and blessed them together at the same time. Before He created the woman, there was no place recorded in the Bible that He blessed Adam. It was when Eve came that blessing came. “Be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth, have dominion…”. This also means that without a woman, your blessings are limited. He starts clearly “Whosoever finds a woman finds a good thing and obtains favor from ME”. There is no male or female spirit before God. They are the same before Him. The origin of devaluation of women Disvaluing of women and misunderstanding of the equality came as a result of the fall of man. The woman’s consequence as a result of the role she played in the fall was for her man to rule over her. see (Genesis 2:16). But that ended the moment we were redeemed by Jesus. The original design of a man and woman relationship never intended rulership. If you are still ruling over your wife or you believe you are superior to her, you are still under the curse; you are not living a blessed life. When you are above the curse then everything Christ came to redeem us from; you will happily embrace. If Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law then the woman is not an exception. Man and woman were initially created equal, sin came into them and the consequence to the woman was that her desire should be to her husband and he will rule over her. Now, Christ has taken us back to the original intention of God on relationship. Satan is persistent to make men feel that the gift that God has given them is inferior and as long as they mistreat the gift of God, their blessing will be limited. The Bible says, “The man is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church”. Christ showing you example of leadership says in His word, “…As he is in heaven, so we are on earth”. The Trinity (God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) do not all have the same functions. They have different roles but they are equal, no one is inferior to the other. So also is a man and woman. Most men are yet to have a glimpse of how God intended to bless them. If a man does not honour the special gift God gave him, He will not bless him with much. The Word states it clearly “If you do not honour your wife (woman), I God will not hear your prayers.” Until you learn to honour your wife, you will not get the blessings marriage is supposed to deliver to you. People do not see the favour promised in marriage because they go into marriage with a wrong perception; this has disvalued the power of togetherness in marriage. Your wife is a gift from God to you; she has a different role to play in your life. Never abuse, disvalue or disrespect her. She is a special pearl designed to add a special fragrance to your life. If you learn to honour the women God has given you i.e. your wife, mother, daughters, and sisters, your heaven will be opened. No Women should allow herself to be disvalued by any man. WAYS TO VALUE YOUR WOMAN Love: You value a woman and her Creator when you show her love. Respect: You value a woman when you respect her, her emotions and her gifts. Author by Judith Daniel-imagoro
