HIM ALONE4~~ Beyond Tongues

Still looking unto Sarah our mother….Isaiah 51:2
The Lord gave a promise unto Abraham but he knew for the blessing to find expression, marriage was not to be played down because the promise is fully enjoyed when men work in alignment and agreement with God and His Word.
He knew this and sent his chief servant Eliezer all the way to his country and his family to get a wife for his son Isaac.(Gen 24)
I once wondered why Abraham had to go all the way,later I realized his kindred from where he married Sarah did not only fear God,they also had a strong character of submission and honour. He had watched how Sarah FOLLOWED him,(when God called him out of his father’s land), he had watched her OBEDIENCE( on two occasions in Egypt even when she was about to be cheated),he had watched her HONOUR angels that were disguised as men(Gen 18:6).

Eliezer’s prayer for a wife was centred around these these three things.
Gen 24:14- Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say,please let down your pitcher, that I may drink and SHE SAYS DRINK, AND I WILL ALSO give your camels a drink- Let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac…
Three criteria that was used in choosing Rebecca was
1. She was of a kindred Spirit ( meaning belonging to same family~ i.e body of Christ, believer as you are
2.Obedience and Submission
3.Honour

Eliezer was a stranger,yet Rebekah obeyed and submitted, she went the extra mile to honour him. 1 Peter 2:17 says HONOUR ALL MEN.

Guys,dont just look out for the tongue speaking, demon chasing, slaying Queen with a kindred spirit,belonging to the same spiritual house or body of Christ,most importantly, watch if she submits to authorities over her,watch if she only honours those around her,watch her attitude and character to outsiders and strangers.is she hospitable?

A day is coming, what you would need is not the tongues but the ‘Sarah’ that would quickly knead and make cakes(meals) for angels disguised as men who hold the key to your next level, you would some days need a ‘Sarah ‘ that would agree,obey and follow you with the call of God to leave your father’ house and go to an unknown country( even when it sounds or seems foolish),
You would a ‘Sarah’ that would obey an allow you be the leader you are by turning your weakness to strength with the humility of her submission.

You would definitely need a ‘Sarah’ with a quiet and gentle spirit that would handle matters with a good conduct and not contentious words.

Rebekah was found at the well,Racheal also was found at the well with her father ‘s flock,signifying that they honoured their Father and Mother,the first authority God has placed over them.
Lady,Stay in process,start with your father, Love and honour him,forgive him If you have ugly history,it is time to love and walk in honour,obedience and submission to him,proceed to civil and spiritual authorities, you will definitely find it easy to love and submit to your own husband. Do not despise process.
