WOMEN: FRIDAY, 6TH JANUARY 2017.
FOCUS: BRINGING GOD’S MARVELOUS HELP TO THE HOME THROUGH MY ROLE AS A HELP MEET
Text: Genesis 2:21-22; 1:28
Introduction
Marriage is God’s will for man. The first man He created, He provided a wife for him and blessed his marriage. (Gen 2:21-22, Gen 1:28.)
Satan hates marriage. He brought marital crisis that made the couples to start trading blames for causes of their failure in obeying God’s command. From then till now, divorce and promiscuity are reoccurring events in which the devil is both the originator and initiator. Jesus emphasized in His teaching that it was not so from the beginning.
Discussion
Consider the following posers and discuss the implications of your role as a spouse in it and what part you have to play to make marriage work.
- God is the Originator, Principal and Vice Chancellor of the Marriage Institution.
- Marriage is the only School where you collect the certificate before you start.
- Marriage is the only non-graduating School ever established.
- Marriage is a School where you are not allowed to drop out, and the Principal does not expel you from School.
- It is a School that has no break, leave or holidays. You have to attend it every day of your life. Never go to sleep without completing your assignment for the day.
- It is a School where you have to communicate regularly with your classmate (spouse) and the Principal.
- Sometimes you will not feel like attending classes, yet you have to.
- Love is the Major Subject of this School, and Bible is it’s only Textbook.
Now discuss the following issues in your role as helpmeet.
- Discuss your ‘helpmeet’ role as a wife in the light of the following phrases.
– Assistance and supporter

- Do you therefore see marriage as a ‘School’ of God where women are made to be formed into the likeness of the Bride of Christ ‘without spot or wrinkle’?
