When God made Adam and gave him charge over the rest of creation, He looked upon Him and pronounced that this significant task cannot be done by Adam alone, he needed a helper. God in his all-wise design, made all the creatures in twos, the man was to be no different if he must fulfill his mandate. A helper was made for the man so he can do what he cannot do alone. This is telling. It signifies how critical the role of the wife is in God's creation plan. Understanding this role through the lens of scripture is the only way to live and enjoy the full privilege of working alongside the man to fulfill God's intent for his creation.
The context of the wife's role as a helper is likened to the role of a military general who commits to defending the cause of his territory alongside his comrades, giving all of himself as though the entire victory depended on him. Such is the enormity and blessedness of the status of a wife that nothing worthwhile is achieved when she's restrained from her God given role.
Living as God has ordained is a powerful and transformative tool that brings order and beauty out of the family experience and by extension, all of creation.
As you listen to the concluding part of the Spirit Filled Wife series, you will see what it takes to for the man and wife to be an expression of God's beautiful design in marriage.

As a christian wife, what does submission to your husband look like?
Submission to her husband by a wife is a good thing and it is good for the woman. God has ordained it to be a good thing and this good thing is only understood and enjoyed when it is embraced and lived as God has designed it.
When we keep God's commands, we are actually operating according to our internal design as God had made us to be and that is why scriptures emphasize that His commandments are not burdensome.
The third part of this series sees Pastor Adeola expound on a few ways a christian wife should submit to her husband according to the will of God and what beauty that brings to both spouses and their home.

"Holding up to the truth is not always easy but it is always right."
We live in an age that has grown weary of the truth and and principles of God. Even in the church, there is a noticeable decline in our affinity to wholesome Godly living. Christlikeness is no longer as clear-cut as it should be. This is a real problem and we're not allowed to wade our way through it. It needs an outright measure to get ourselves back in line with how God has ordained that His children must live.
In his gracious way, God has not left these things to ambiguity. By his grace he has through his word and his Holy Spirit, made clear and attainable provision for how we must live for him.
This truth is what we must adhere to unflinchingly and it we must declare. There are no half measures or allowances for watering it down, especially as the culture evolves. Godliness is cast in stone; we are not allowed to modify it as it stands above all that we see or perceive.
In this sermon, we will learn how we must never relent in our bid to walk in Godliness as God has prescribed.

What does it mean when we read in Ephesians 5:23 that the husband is the head of the wife? The apostle, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, was expressing God's design as he had intended when he created the man and woman. God set an order for the relationship between all of God's creation, including in the dispensation of leadership between the man and the woman. And this design is good.
When God commands the husband to be the head of his home, He's done it because he knows it is the best. He's done it because he desires marriages amongst his children to be a reflection of Christ's love for them. There is no deprivation or bias. Understanding God's intent and embracing His wisdom in how he has designed this relationship to be is the way to find true fulfillment that guarantees the enjoyment of our marriages.
The abuse of this relationship, caused by sin, has not altered God's intent or diminished the beauty of his plan.
As we listen, we will learn what true biblical submission is and how this brings God's rich blessing to our homes and by extension, points many to the love that Christ has for his children.

There's so much to unpack from Paul's letter to the Ephesians on the matter of leading a Godly family. Everyone was addressed; the husband, the wife and the children. A clear understanding of the intent of the scriptures on these matters is very crucial to being a family that lives as God has directed.
In previous sermons in this family series, Pastor Adeola has addressed the family unit as a whole and now proceeds to cast his lens on the sub-units, in this case, the wife.
A Christian wife is a spirit-filled wife. A spirit-filled wife is one who unreservedly submits to the will of the Lord concerning her place as a wife and a part of the family unit. This expectation of the wife has not been left to ambiguity; the scriptures speak clearly on this.
In this sermon, we learn who a spirit-filled wife is and all that the Lord has provided for her to conform to the image of Christ in her home.
