REBECCA’S MISTAKE

“I just agree with whatever my husband says, afterall he is the head of the house whatever God is going to say he will say through him”. I disagree; are you a doormat or what? “How dare you suggest I am a doormat! Bible says submit to your husbands so...” Yes, yes I am all for submitting but God called you to be a help meet not an echo. “My husband is a fine Christian; let him hear from God jare.”
Ah God sometimes speaks first to the wife o:` Rebekah became pregnant. When the children inside her were struggling with each other, she said, "If it's like this now, what will become of me?" So she went to ask the LORD. The LORD said to her, "Two countries are in your womb. Two nations will go their separate ways from birth. One nation will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger." Gen 25:21-23(GW). “Don’t teach me rebellion, we have had a good marriage for five years; I don’t want the kind of trouble Rebecca had”. I know, but how long will it go on this way before you fulfill your purpose? I don’t believe this is God’s standard “whatever God is going to say he will say through him”.What about Mary and Joseph... “Look they weren’t married then; give me one good example and I will consider you”.
OK: There was a man named Manoah. His wife was not able to have children. The Messenger of the LORD appeared to her and said, "You've never been able to have a child, but now you will become pregnant and have a son. Now you must be careful. Don't drink any wine or liquor or eat any unclean food. You must never cut his hair because the boy will be a Nazirite dedicated to God from birth." Jdg 13:2-5(GW) “God had some instructions for her personally, so He told her. This did not represent a specific direction for the household.”
Chill yet. One day Elisha was traveling through Shunem, where a rich woman lived. She had invited him to eat with her. So whenever he was in the area, he stopped in to eat. She told her husband, "I know he's a holy man of God. And he regularly travels past our house. Let's make a small room on the roof for him. He can stay there whenever he comes to visit us." 2Ki 4:8-10(GW) Her suggestion led to their childlessness being healed.
“So I should occasionally take the lead from oga eh?” No, never take the lead from oga. They told their husbands what God put in their hearts Who confirmed it to their men. We are not told Rebecca ever did that.
Giving honour to the woman who is the feebler vessel, but who has an equal part in the heritage of the grace of life 1Pe 3:7(BBE)
