THE WIFE OF NOBLE CHARACTER (Proverbs 31:10-31, NIV)

“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.”

Proverbs 31:10, NIV.              

I actually planned on writing about something else, but had to change my mind as the Holy Spirit impressed on me to write about this particular topic. Why does He want me to write about it? Because yesterday, someone had the guts to tell me, whilst subtly trying to send a message across to me, that they heard a certain african Prophetess, and some men of God, saying that the late Sister in Christ, Osinachi Nwachukwu was a virtuous woman, since she died as a result of being in submission to her husband! This report is indeed true as I had already read, and heard it myself, but like many other things we hear and read about, which are irrelevant, I chuckled! They went further to argue, that as a result of her submission unto death, that she accomplished what God created her for, here on earth! This individual went even further, to subtly lecture me on how that is the proof, that she is now enjoying her life in Heaven! After straining my ears to listen to all, that this well meaning-person had to say, which I must confess, I was some-worth forced to as I didn’t want to come across as disrespectful without hearing them out. During the whole discussion and immediately afterwards, I felt the Holy Ghost within me, throwing up! I literally felt my stomach turning, and churning, at such level of ignorance, and foolishness this individual, and those he was quoting exhibit, when it comes to the will and nature of God Almighty! I mean, it is really true that the main reason, why the sons, and daughters of God perish, is as a result of their lack of Knowledge of the nature of God (Hosea 4:6). God is love, compassionate, just, righteous, long-suffering, faithful, trustworthy, noble, pure, truth, grace, and the list goes on. Child of God, whenever someone dies, there is no tangible guarantee, that the person has made it to Heaven. Although, sometimes the LORD God, through dreams and visions may choose to reveal to us about the final abode of that particular individual, but not when someone, decides to percify us by boldly declaring where they believe, that the deceased has ended up, without the Holy Spirit clearly revealing such to them! There is no guarantee that a deceased sister or brother made it to Heaven, solely because they attended church every day! There is absolutely no guarantee, that because someone preached, and taught the word of God, that they made it to Heaven. There is no guarantee, that because you are a worship leader or because you are a prophet, that you will make it to Heaven (Matthew 7:21-23). The very moment we close our eyes in eternity, that is when the rubber meets the road; you will be pulled to the gate where you truly belong; nowhere less, and nowhere more- just like our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ told us, and He is the only One, who really knows the truth about our final abode (Luke 16:19-31)! Apostle Paul, as righteous as he was, and though he still remains the undeniable Apostle of the better Grace, besides our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ; Who is the fullness of Grace and Truth, had the need to confess to us, for transparency sake, as well as for learning purposes, that he had to strive, not to be used by God, but then, to eventually miss out on God’s eternal crown (1 Corinthians 9:27). For him to have mentioned that which he FEARED the most, to us, is a strong reminder of how important, our final states should always be in our minds, as well as to make us understand, that there is a possibility to be used by God, yet, be eternally lost- I say this because I know it to be the truth as the LORD has shown me on multiple occasions, that it is indeed so! Like I mentioned in last week’s devotional, we only hope, pray, and believe that the late sister Osinachi made it! There are certain requirements to making Heaven as it is not a place, where people eventually go to because something bad happened to them, or because the whole world gathered together to mourn for them. It is not a place where you accidentally land in because Daddy G. O, or Mummy G. Z. say, that you have gone to! Absolutely not, as in most cases many of such people saying such, do not even fully know about the conditions of their own souls. There are visions that the LORD gave to me about this late Sister, some months prior to her death, as well as afterwards as to the main reason, why the LORD allowed her to depart, regardless of the condition that led to that. Nonetheless, I refuse to talk about it as it may be frowned at by the church, but all I can say is this: Sometimes, the LORD allows people to find out the truth in a hard way, since they refuse to learn otherwise! When I had the vision concerning her, and because I did not know who she was, I did the necessary prayers to stand in gap for whomever that was, as long as the person was a child of God, like I would normally do. This I kept doing, every now and again, while I kept praying, for the Holy Spirit to reveal to me, who He was talking to me about, but unfortunately or fortunately for her, I only realized she was the one, when I heard about her demise.

NOW, let us talk about VIRTUOUS WOMAN, since this is what it is all about! From the above description of a virtuous woman, she is one, who has a noble character, and whose worth is far more than precious stones! From this description alone, it is very easy to deduct, that virtuous women are very hard to come by. It is made very clear, that it is even easier to find precious stones, regardless of how rare they are, than to come across a woman of noble character! Consequently, not every woman that is considered by people as noble is really virtuous in the sight of God!

Which means, that any woman, who is of noble character, must come from the lineage of royalty! Which is further evidence of the fact, that such women, are the daughters of the King of kings! I mean, how can they not be noble, when they have the DNA of their Holy and most noble Father; a God, Whose very nature is honor, integrity, and righteousness?! A God, who is the Man of war, the Consuming Fire, the Righteous Judge, the Rock of Ages, the only wise One, the great I Am, the Omni-potent, Omni-present, Omnicient, and Omni-science One! It can only be true, that such daughters of His, are one in a million; searching for them, is like trying to find a needle in a haystack- not impossible, but not a very easy task, either!

The Scripture below, is one of the commands of Jesus Christ to us, who truly believe in Him, that helps a real virtuous woman to remain noble at all times, regardless of what is happening around her,

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

Mark, 8:36, KJV.

A Virtuous woman knows her worth; that she is priceless! She is priceless because her very presence is a blessing to those, to whom she comes. She may not come with money, but her presence attracts wealth to her husband and her home, or to the family wherever she is.

She may not have connections, but her very presence, invites kings and queens to come knocking at the very door where she lives.

Her husband may be a fool. Nonetheless, if he appreciates her, he will become very wise, but if he maltreats her, his foolishness will become highlighted to all and sundry!

Child of God, let us be unequivocally clear about this; Any Apostle, Prophet/Prophetess, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher, man, woman, etc., who claims to be speaking on God’s behalf, while at the same time, is teaching us, that a virtuous woman is one, who stays in her marriage, being submissive to a husband, who she fully knows is a certified-danger to her God-given spirit, soul and body, and that she can only receive the medal of nobility, as long as she endorses him, until he kills her- such a teacher or preacher, is someone, who I would describe as person, who is indeed filled with the spirit, but regrettably, not with the Holy Spirit, but rather, the spirit of vodka (evil spirit)!

How can any one in their right senses, teach the sons and daughters of God, that any woman who dies at the hand of her so-called husband, has thereby, fulfilled her calling as a virtuous woman, since she submitted to him, till he finally lynched her? Which holy spirit, school of idiotheology, spiritual sugar-daddy taught you such rubbish? When I hear such preaching, it sets the fire of God within me ablaze, but with righteous indignation! How can you encourage people to disobey the command of God, that says, “thou shall not kill?” These wicked soul snatchers, are encouraging the sons and daughters of God, to become yet again, another sacrifice for Satan and his evil agents, in their satanic altars! To set the record straight for the good of the kingdom of Heaven, and to the glory of Almighty God:

• Our calling as daughters of God, is not to be killed in the hands of our husbands or anyone else!
• Our calling as daughters of the only good God, is not to be the desire of a man’s eyes, so much so, that he no longer desires the LORD, and His ways!
• Our calling as daughters of the only King of kings, is to attain, to be more of God’s desire, than that of any other spirit, even if they are living in earthen vessels!
• Our calling as daughters of the only Holy and good Husband; Almighty God, is to glorify Him in our marriages, by submitting to our husbands, but only according to the will, and the ways of God Almighty, the only Giver, and Taker of life, and by no means, to become sacrificial lambs in the hands of any person!
• This is not just for women, but also for sons of God, who are of noble character as Satan is not just interested in waging war against a particular gender, but against anyone, who has the DNA of God Almighty!

As women, and daughters of God Almighty, the only good Father, and the Lover of our souls, our calling is not to be in positions of perpetual bondage to save our husbands, or anyone else as Jesus Christ is the only One, through whom we all have redemption (Colossians 1:13-14)! Thus, we are not to die, contrary to the will of God, in order to set anyone free, rather he; the husband, or whomever, has the same right as we do, to go to Jesus Christ, to receive salvation for their souls! As Virtuous daughters, we are not to surrender all, by going to Jesus Christ, to recieve our salvation, while the husband is permanently busy like Tarzan in the jungle, pursuing snakes, and dancing makossa with wolves, bringing constant warfare into our lives, which keeps putting our lives and souls in permanent danger! They will not keep living such evil lifestyles, to eventually demand our personal salvation from us, by us giving up our lives for them. No one has the right to demand from us, to do for them, that which Jesus Christ has already done for us all, and that which only Jesus can do for them; the devil is not just a liar, but forever a loser in Jesus’ precious name, Amen!

Every Virtuous woman understands, that it is her duty to pray for her husband, and home. They know that it is their duty to help their husbands, by leading them to Christ, if the husband in question, doesn’t know how to find Jesus Christ. She knows, that she also has to be patient with him. Nonetheless, the real virtuous women fully understand, when the line has been crossed by a husband, who is not willing to come to Christ, or remain with Him! Most importantly, she knows when someone is endangering her soul, and would do whatever it takes to cut ties with whomever, that person is, even if it comes across as though, she is cruel, rebellious, or disobeying authority! Finally, virtuous women, prefer the salvation of their souls, as well as mentaining their salvation, to obeying any human authority! These are just some of the qualities of a REAL VIRTUOUS WOMAN!

Child of God, I do believe I would still continue with this same topic in next week’s devotional, that is if the LORD, does not put something else in my mind to write about. Till next week!

Jesus loves you!
