Woman is the Glory of Man

Man was created in the image of God, and woman in the image of man. Your husband derives glory from you, as God derives glory from man. You help your husband pursue his God-like image and glory if you enrich your spiritual life. And a major part of this is submitting to him totally, in all things. You do this--supporting your husband's glory in God--and this adds more to your glory, too. Because you were created in your husband's image. Submitting to your husband is worth more than all the church activities and programs you can do. Woman is the glory of man.

When you submit to your husband, your husband is empowered to give glory to God. And this adds tremendously to your husband's glory. When you submit to your husband in all things, your prayers together multiply to the 100th power--that's more powerful than 100 nuclear warheads and powerful to demolish the gates of hell. Because woman is the glory of man.

There is a grave misconception about pastors' wives. Church people think she must be very active in church and church programs. She must be very visible. If she is so, they say she's a good pastor's wife. And this misconception have been going on for centuries--to the disadvantage of the church. First and foremost, pastors' wives should understand that they are Second Eves. As Second Eves their utmost and only duty is to submit to their Second Adams. Even their children come only second to this. Eve was created to fully support Adam--"an able helper." Because woman is the glory of man.

Thus, in the beginning, it's vital for a believing woman to find a man who's really in line with the Second-Adam plan of God, a true man of God---so she can fully submit to him in all things. Problems pop up and mushroom the moment this principle is broken. Then we find couples with rotten marriages "serving" in churches, making them the worst place on earth to spend spiritual life in. Man's and God's glory is marred.

Remember, wives, that the only thing important in life is God's glory. And woman is the glory of man who gives glory to God.
