USE YOUR "VOICE" WISELY

Today, I want to address women...I can't explain why but let me say that I woke up with the strong need to say this...

You know how I'm always shouting about women having voices in a marriage. Actually, I'm not about to change my mind on that. I believe BOTH husband and wife should have and USE their "voices" in the marriage. It is not godly to lord it over your spouse.

Today, I want to address womenfolk, not because men are superior. It's just that I feel very led to speak to women in particular. This morning, the Lord reminded me how I keep giving Eve and Sarah as examples of wives that had voices in their marriages. Of course, I agreed and was ready to write about that. But today's message took a different turn when I had to look at what they used their voices for. Both of them gave wrong counsel that altered the course of humanity.

Of course their husbands are not absolved of blame because they did not have to take the advice. I remember a story my VP in Secondary School told us about a young man that was advised to withdraw but was seen dragging his luggage in to the school the next term. When he was asked why he was returning to school after he was advised to withdraw, he told them he didn't take the advice. Oga, it's good to listen to your wife but you're responsible and accountable for your "FINAL ANSWER".

Back to women, just like your husband, you are responsible and accountable for giving bad advice. If all you're using your "voice" to do is to mislead and defame others, let me borrow Mama Peace's words to tell you "Chai, there is God o". We need to pass whatever we say through what is called " The Truth Test".
- Is it (factually) true? (If you're speculating or assuming, CLEARLY say so, please)
- Is it FAIR to all?
- Is it BENEFICIAL?
- Can I live comfortably even if I don't say it?

I heard women normally speak about 7000 words daily while men speak about 2000 words (I wonder if President Obama, Madam Merkel and one lawyer like that were included in this survey sha, lol). Woman, what are you doing with your words? Are you building up or tearing down? In case you were not "inform", we will give account of every word and action... Always try to remember that...

Enjoy your day.
