Helping Your Husband to Prosper pt 1

As a wife, God’s will for your husband is to enjoy prosperity to the fullest (3John 2, Philippians 4:19) but many men end up living in poverty and penury. Their lives are characterized by constant struggles to meet their daily needs and their obligation to other people.

However, no matter how pathetic the case is, God can use a godly wife to cause change in any family. The success or failure a man experiences does not happen without the input of the wife which is why you must do everything possible to make his life better and to see to it that he prospers. In fact, your motto in life should be:

BY ALL MEANS, MY HUSBAND MUST PROSPER!

Ignorance on the part of many women is the reason their husbands do not enjoy all the benefits of life. A woman can either help a man up or bring him as low as the depths of hell. Let’s examine some of the things a godly woman can do to make her husband the best:

1. Relate with him well – A married man can only have a successful career if he enjoys a peaceful marriage. Work as a team with your husband, never war in your team.

Make him your friend, partner, and team mate. Encourage him, motivate him, advise him and defend him. Be greatly biased towards him, have it at the back of your mind that if he swims, you swim together and if he sinks (God forbid), you will go down with him.

Hence, make a decision to swim with him; give him a lifeline at home. Flourish together, move forward and make a better team.

“The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil”

2. Support Him: He will always be confident to face life because he knows you will be there for him. Give him all the support you think he needs; mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, financially and otherwise.

3. Be A Pillar: A skyscraper may look big, bogus, beautiful and magnificent, but it must stand on pillars and beams without which it will fall like a pack of cards.

Likewise, a man may look strong, bold and muscular, but the truth is, he needs a strong home-front; a woman that can stand with him in the thick of his darkness. Somebody who will be there for him when the going gets tough and rough for even the toughest.

No matter your husband’s physique, he needs your consistent encouragement. Telling him, “it is well”, “it is possible”, “we shall make it”, goes a long way to encourage him.

4. Motivate, Do Not Push: Motivate your husband to do great things, but do not push him into error. Motivate him to take giant steps, to do new things, to start that business, to execute a project, to embark on that journey, but never encourage him to be fraudulent or to get involved in shady deals just to ‘make it’ by all means.

5. Hold The Home Front For Him: Give him rest of mind by ensuring a stable home front in his absence. Be a good mother, help him to raise the children, nurture them in the way of the Lord. Titus 2:4-5 shows us that a man cannot be termed prosperous if his children are ungodly. Be a party to leading your husband to prosperity.
