My honourable men, the pride of God, he men of our dreams I greet you all. May I have a word with you please?

My honourable men, I would like to ask, should I give you a Rolls Royce, how sure am I that you would be able to take care of it. Would you go to any Rolls Royce school of maintenance to be able to know how to take care of it? How would you begin to feel when you start driving in that Rolls Royce? Would you put water into its fuel tank even though the fuel it needs may not be water? Would you insist that since your forefathers used water to fuel some of their cars and it worked, you would also use water to fuel Rolls Royce? Or No you wouldn’t do that? But why? Aren’t they all cars?

My honourable man, did you know that your wife is worth much more than a Rolls Royce? In fact, with her, you can get a Rolls Royce if you treat her right. Like a merchant, she comes fully loaded. But most of you treat your wife lesser than your cars. Why? When your car needs fuel, you put in fuel and not water, if your car engine needs overhauling, no matter the fee, you will do it. In fact, whatever your car needs, you give it to it without a heartbeat. Why? Is it because you know that your car gives you respect among your peers? It helps you with your mobility: It makes it easier for you to move around, it gives you class, and even makes you look better in the eyes of women. Oh how amazing. But let’s look at something in the Bible real quick:  Proverbs 31:10-12, 23:“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband (you) has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm all the days of her life. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.”

Can a Rolls Royce do you good all the day of your life? I don’t know about that.

But like a Rolls Royce, your wife also brings you good: She makes you feel respected at the city gate, where you take your seat among the elders of the land.

Man, please don’t be too materialistic. Your wife, is your fellow authority holder, your teammate, and your companion for life. Why do you put all importance on your car, neglecting your wife? Why do you make your wife feel cheated on with your car? How does it feel when your wife gives all her attention to her children and neglects you? Should your wife give all her attention to the kids neglecting you, will that make you feel good? If not, then I am here to tell you that, treating your car better than your wife makes her feel bad; it hurts her feelings and almost makes her feel worthless, and not seen by you (the love of her life). This is wickedness my honourable men. Your car, and any other material properties of yours are all inanimate objects (which can be here today, and gone tomorrow). Please don’t let your wife feel cheated with those by you.

If for some reasons you don’t know how to treat your wife well, just look at how you treat your car and do same and more for your wife. For example, if  you give your car gasoline (fuel),  not water when the fuel is out (then give your wife LOVE [1 Corinthians 13], not the breadcrumbs of your emotions); if you clean your car every day before you go to work (then WASH [Ephesians 5:26] your wife with good words, and the Word of God every morning before you leave home); if you are proud of your car (then be proud of your wife [Ephesians 5:27]); if you feel good when you drive in your car, and cruise around (then let your wife know that you feel good and happy to have her around, and in your life [Ephesians 5:29]). Just copy, and paste this mechanical affection you have for your car to your wife.

Above all, please know that you are to love your wife as Christ loves the church [Ephesians 5:25, 28]. If God still loves you (the church, the Bride of Christ) even though you are not yet perfect, then you can love your wife even though she is not yet perfect.

My honourable men, the “perfect wife” is in your mind. Use the wisdom of God’s Word to bring her (your idea) into reality using the ‘raw material’, your wife God has given you.

Be Blessed Our Honourable Men.

You are HIGHLY and GREATLY appreciated and LOVED. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
