The Prophetic-Apostolic Wife

The universal priesthood of all believers is taken more seriously in the prophetic-apostolic move of God. Thus, wives are no longer housewives bound to household chores. Without foregoing that, they also should be expert ministers with their husbands--well trained in the Spirit of God. 

It's okay for wives to teach in church. They should preach to and lead and train younger women and ladies in church, and teach children, too (Titus). Paul prohibited women in church to preach to men. And he stressed that the ruling should be observed in all God's churches. And because God's Word is alive and active, that truth should be true to us even today. The prophetic-apostolic wife then should master the Word and be able to share it with other women boldly, with God's anointing. 

The wife should be able to do warfare in the spirit, be sensitive to God's leading, and be powerful in intercession, especially for her husband. Her husband, of course, should be deep in the rhema Word of God and anointed to declare it with Holy Spirit power and with signs and wonders from God. She should know how to move in the Spirit of God and be knowledgeable in all the ways of the Father in Scriptures. Needless to say, a prophetic-apostolic wife should be strong in God and His Word.

However, she should also remain in submission to her husband, and this should be evident to all. As her power and stature in God grows and become stronger, all the more she should be in submission to her husband. She is her husband's glory, so she should support her husband's spiritual stature and advancement in the spirit by remaining in submission to him. Without this total submission in all things, her husband's standing in God is null and void, and anything he does is garbage in the spirit. In fact, without this submission, her husband has better quit in any church position he has--more so if he's a minister.


She must meekly agree with the husband's final decisions in God, as she also contributes to that decision with what God has placed in her mind and heart. It's always a husband-wife team, with the husband as the team leader. 


This can only work if both husband and wife are immersed in God's spoken Word in the bible, and if Jesus' LIFE is seen in them daily. In fact, this is more important than any Sunday church program that churches religiously do, thinking it to be important in God's eyes.

The prophetic-apostolic wife is in charge of the children's educational progress, both spiritual and intellectual. Dad should influence the children with his apostolic fervor and inspiration, imparting the Jesus LIFE that is in him to them, but it is mom who should daily supervise their overall development. Dad should also help in this process. 

The prophetic-apostolic wife is not anymore the household help of everyone in church. Pastors' wives are often thought of as maid-servants for running everyone's errands, and especially cooking food and doing the dishes. This chore should be shared by all. But a prophetic-apostolic wife's first role is to be in the likeness of Jesus Christ in all aspects of life--more so in being the wife of her husband. 


If the husband is a father in faith, his wife automatically becomes mother in faith--because they are one flesh in God's eyes. Being a mother in faith, the prophetic-apostolic wife should be able to assist her husband in all the dimensions of the move, raising up their sons and daughters in faith in the rigors of spiritual fathering. With her husband, they should be able to bring down to earth the dimensions of God's very Kingdom.

Many church women today advance in careers and call the shots in church, but such is NOT the God-assigned role for them. Careers are good and helping in church is fine, but what really matters is for the wife to be like Jesus as she becomes one flesh with her anointed husband and promote his glory in Christ.
