30 RULES FOR GODLY WOMEN

Got this on facebook and thought of sharing it here in my blog (CTTO)

I checked my self and sigh. I am a wife in progress. Married for 9 years and yet so very far from being a Godly wife. 

1). Never raise your voice for any reason to your husband. Its a sign of disrespect.(Prov 15: 1)

2). Don't expose your husband's weaknesses toyour family and friends. It will bounce back at you.You are each other's keeper.(Eph 5:12)

3). Never use attitudes and moods to communicate to your husband, you never know how your husband will interpret them. Defensive women don't have a happy home.(Prov 15:13)

4). Never compare your husband to other men, you've no idea what their life is all about. If you attack his Ego, his Love for you will diminish.

5). Never ill treat your husband's friends because you don't like them, the person who's supposed to get rid of them is your husband.(Prov 11:22)

6). Never forget that your husband married you, not your maid or anyone else. Do your duties.(Gen 2:24)

7). Never assign anyone to give attention to your husband, people may do everything else but your husband is your own responsibility.(Eph 5:33)

8). Never blame your husband if he comes back home empty handed. Rather encourage him.(Deut 3:28)

9). Never be a wasteful wife, your husband's sweat is too precious to be wasted.

10). Never pretend to be sick for the purpose of denying your husband sex. You must give it to him how he wants it. Sex is very important to Men, if you keep denying him, it is a matter of time before another woman takes over theat duty. No man can withstand sex starvation for too long(even the anointed ones) (SS 7:12)

11). Never compare your husband to your one time sex mate in bedroom, or an Ex-lover. Your home may Never recover from it if you do.(SS 5:9)

12). Never answer for your husband in public opinion polls, let him handle what is directed to him although he may answer for you in public opinion polls.(Prov 31:23)

13). Never shout or challenge your husband in front of children. Wise Women don't do that.(Eph 4:31)

14). Don't forget to check the smartness of your husband before he checks out.(Prov 12:4)

15). Never allow your friends to be too close to your husband.

16). Never be in a hurry in the bathroom and on the dressing table. Out there your husband is always surrounded by women who took their time on their looks.( 1 Sam25:3)

17). Your parents or family or friends do not have the final say in your marriage. Don't waste your time looking up to them for a final word. You must Leave if you want to Cleave.(Luke 21:16)

18). Never base your love on monetary things. Will you still submit to him even if you earn more money than him?

19). Don't forget that husbands want attention and good listeners, never be too busy for him. Good communication is the bed rock of every happy home. (Gal 6:9)

20). If your idea worked better than his, never compare yourself to him. Its always teamwork.(Gal 6:10)

21). Don't be too judgemental to your husband. No man wants a Nagging wife.(Eph 4:29)

22). A lazy wife is a careless wife. She doesn't even know that her body needs a bath.(Prov 24:27)(Prov 20:13)

23). Does your husband like a kind of cooked food?, try to change your cooking. No man jokes with food. (Prov 31:14)

24). Never be too demanding to your husband,enjoy every moment, resource as it comes.(Luke 11:3)

25). Make a glass of water the very first welcome to your husband and everyone entering your home. Sweetness of attitude is true beauty. (Prov 31:11)

26). Don't associate with women who have a wrong mental attitude about marriage.(Prov 22v14)

27). Your marriage is as valuable to you as the value that you give it. Recklessness is unacceptable.(Heb 13:4)

28). Fruit of the womb is a blessing from the Lord, love your children and teach them well.(Prov 22:6)

Prayer

Prayer request

Please, am asking for your prayers. My Nanay (mom) was hit by a truck last Saturday, she's in the hospital now and under going a lot of tests. Her head suffered the most injury, there is blood in the brain which is bad.
Please pray that she'll be alright, that there will be  no need for operation and for her brain to function normally soon.
 
Thank you.

Praying specific need

We are readying ourselves now for the move. Hubby said we have to find a place before June. So the house hunt is on again. Last night we decided to be specific in what to ask from the Lord in prayer so we said, “Lord, we need a house to rent that is near Makati or in Makati because we still want to be near the church and my work. We need a house that has space for Rudolf’s t-shirt printing.” Probably with two bedrooms but even one bedroom will do.”

I know soon we’ll find it.

And with that, I’ve been thinking of stuff we will need. Living in the mission’s house is somehow living in your comfort zone. And moving out means we have to pay for everything now. House bill such as electricity, water, cable, phone and so on. We need all the extra income now. I hope hubby can take any jobs in IT out there.

Plus we have to buy new household necessities. The need is overwhelming but I am excited. It’s like we’re newly wed again. It’s like we’re starting to build a “home” for us again.

God has been faithful to us in our 3 years of stay in the mission’s house. And true enough, I remember the Lord told me when we arrived there the first day after our wedding vacation, that we will be living there for 3 years. That’s exactly 3 years in May 1.

God is amazing and He does amazing things to bless us and teach us.

Please join us in our prayers

Our Prayer requests :

1. Our fund raising concert - pls. pray for the needs, the venue, the people that will work on this event, the band, the guest singer, the financial provision and please pray also for God's presence and leading about this concert.

2. Please pray for our passports. We will apply probably first week of next month. Pray that every documents we prepared are okay. Please pray for the provision too as this is not included in our budget.

3. In regards to our passport - because we will be needing it come February, we want to attend the Regional conference in Macau and have our very first mission exposure outside the country too. Pray also for God's provision for our Macau trip. Registration is at $210 for each participant excluding food and airfare.

4. My 5 year old nephew will undergo "eye operation", we don't know when but the doctor said it has to be soon or else he'll be blind. My heart was broken when I heard this but I look at this as God's way to show us how powerful and might HE is.

Thank you for praying for us and may the Lord bless you all and keep you.

Confused? need direction..PRAY

Praying when you need direction

"Should I get married? And if I should, whom should I marry and when?" "What should I do with my life?" "Should I take that job and relocate to another city?" "Should I buy a car or just lease one? And if I buy a car, should it be a new car or a used car?" "Should I leave my present job and go start my own business venture?" "What career path should I embark on?" "What course should I take when I go to college?"

Decisions and choices - choices and decisions. The list just goes on and on in life. We make hundreds of them every day. Just go to a restaurant for a meal and start reviewing the menu! Clearly we are a people in great need of direction. The search for direction in life never ends.

Many in our society spend a lot of time and resources just trying to get some direction about where to go and what to do in life. Millions turn to their daily newspapers - not for sports or the stock market but for their daily horoscopes. Others turn to fortune tellers or crystal ball gazers. Still others dial up psychic hot lines! Just to get a glimpse into the future. And then there's God's directions and there's prayer!

The good news is that the resources of prayer is unlimited and God's direction is available to those who seek it. A pastor was starting a new ministry. The night before the launch, he gathered together a small group of believers who would form the core families of the church. Here's what he prayed:

"Lord, this church belongs to you. It's not ours. Our desire is to do what You want us to do and to be who You want us to be. You know the people You long to reach through this church. We place ourselves in Your hands and we long to be used by You." This is a good prayer for direction. It contains intentional yieldedness: "Our desire is to do what You want us to do and to be who You want us to be."

You can't go wrong praying this way. Such prayer acknowledges God's sovereign lordship in our lives. It expresses a heart that seeks to bring glory to God: "We place ourselves in Your hands and we long to be used by You." Think about it. There is no better place to be than in the caring hands of God.
