REVEALED WORD TODAY

THE POWER OF TWO V (WEDNESDAY APRIL 21, 2021)

// Read: I Peter 3:1-13 //

1 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.

Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

Suffering for Doing Good

Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For,

“Whoever would love life
    and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
    and their lips from deceitful speech.
11 They must turn from evil and do good;
    they must seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
    and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”[a]

13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?

MEDITATION:

Husbands are warned in today’s passage to dwell with their wives according to knowledge so that their prayers will not be hindered. In other word, Apostle Peter, expects husbands to take advantage of the power of two. If a relationship is not well managed it can hinder prayers thereby waste labour. This is the reason Devil fights unity in homes. Beloved, be watchful, do not allow the devil to waste your power of two.

PRAYER: Pray that the Devil will not waste your power of two in your relationships in Jesus Name.
