ACTIVATING THE COVENANT OF MOTHERHOOD:

“He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains FAVOR from the LORD. Prov 18:22 NKJV

The woman is still the most influential of the Lord’s creation on earth; she has special favour with her Lord and her husband. She is an embodiment of FAVOUR and WISDOM. If you want to attract special favour from God, be kind to the woman, especially a Godly woman who has activated her Covenant of Motherhood. Men, who treat the women in their life well, enjoy great favour from the Lord and the favour you will attract for treating this special creation well will do you good all the days of your life! Halleluiah, that Is why Ecclesiastic 9: 9 says, “Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life …; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun”. As a man, it’s your duty to enforce happiness in your marriage so that you will succeed in the labour/business/ministry which you perform with your wife. If you don’t treat her with understanding, Apostle Paul confirmed that even your prayers can be hindered, 1 Pet. 3: 7.

Let’s move now to a higher dimension. A man can inherit houses and riches from a father, but “a PRUDENT WIFE is from the LORD”. Prov 19:14. The word “Prudent” is from the Hebrew “Sakal” meaning ‘cause to be wise’. A woman from the Lord is the one who has activated her Covenant of Motherhood. If you marry her, she will cause you to be wise; that means she will try her best to make sure you succeed in life and in ministry. The book of Proverb described the virtuous woman as she whom “Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life”. Prov 31:11-12 NLT.

So, there are two essential prowesses to derive from motherhood grace: You will receive FAVOUR and WISDOM. For each time she speaks, “She opens her mouth with wisdom”, Prov 31:26. No wonder the book of Proverb 3:13 said “Happy is the man who finds WISDOM, and the man who gains understanding;”

The wisdom that a godly man received are in twofold, the first is from Christ his Saviour “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us WISDOM from God” 1 Cor 1:30 and the second is from his godly wife as we saw in Proverb 19:14. For the man to succeed spiritually, he needs the WISDOM OF CHRIST, and for him to succeed physically, he needs the WISDOM OF HIS WIFE. This is why the Bible calls her a “Help meet”. She is designed to help the man succeed in life as he governs the affairs of God on earth.

“Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches”. Prov 24:3-4

It will take the wisdom of the woman for the house to be built, but it requires the understanding of the man so that it is establish. And through the knowledge he derived from understanding the wisdom of the woman, the rooms of their matrimony will be filled with precious and pleasant riches. Wow, if you marry a wife from the Lord, you marry SUCCESS! And daughters, if you marry a godly man who has understanding, your marriage will be established.

My spiritual daughters, you are an embodiment of WISDOM and wisdom can ONLY “… rests in the heart of him who has understanding,” Prov 14:33. So, don’t make a mistake of marrying a man that doesn’t have understanding. The Bible described a man that is devoid of understanding as he who “commits adultery with his neighbour’s wife” and a young man who took the path to the house of a harlot in the evening, to have sex with her. Prov 6:32; Prov 7:7-9. If you meet such men, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

Women who have activated their covenant of motherhood will build their house with WISDOM but the FOOLISH pulls it down with their hands. Prov 14:1

The covenant of motherhood is a twofold covenant, the first is physical motherhood and the other is spiritual motherhood. With the first, the woman births the seed of life naturally and with the second, she must learn to take the spiritual realm and birth the vision of her husband, and her spiritual husband (Christ) by prayer in the spiritual realm. She must take hold of the seed of her husband and incubate it along side of him in prayer. She must pray him through. When the woman takes this position in the realm of the spirit, she activates greater Spiritual Favour for her man. By her prayer, she also aligns the earth to receive him and the earth’s cycles to cooperate with the seed her husband sows. A woman who does not make the transition from Womanhood to Motherhood both spiritually and physically is like a fig tree with bright leaves without the fruits; it will attract the wrath of the master. Why? Because the failure of the woman to enter her motherhood speaks of danger to the purpose of God for her man and the nation. She holds the ace as the mother of the living and the spring of life. There is no future on earth and in the nations without her and her covenant of motherhood!
