The Role as Wives and Moms

What is our calling? What do you feel like God has called you to do in your life?

2 Timothy 1:9

“God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time-to show us his grave through Christ Jesus.”

As women, the pressure we feel can sometimes seem unbearable. We have MANY roles to tend to, and sometimes it can seem all but manageable.

Between being a wife, friend, daughter, parent, employee or employer, SAHM or whatever else it can seem like so much weighing on us at once. But, are we following the biblical roles God intended for us?

As women in Christ, we must focus on the roles God has planned for our lives.

Have you ever asked yourself, “What have I been called for; what is God's calling for me?”

In a general sense, each person on this planet is called to love, follow and obey God. However, as the Wife, and Mother, we are called to be THE HEART. With being THE HEART, comes a great responsibility. To be the heart of the home our hearts must lye in christ.

Let’s break it down by our individual roles:

TOP OF PYRAMID: THE HEART

MIDDLE OF PYRAMID: WIFE & MOTHER

BOTTOM OF PYRAMID: HOME, SEXUALITY,TEACHER,FRIEND

THE HOME: we are the HEART of the home, and our husbands are called to be the HEAD of the home. It’s important to remember that NO position is more important than the other; the two must work together in order to thrive and be successful.

As women in the home we can feel a lot of pressure. The Lord calls us to make our home a safe haven that builds up the family. (Creativity can flow and communication can be ongoing.) It Is so important that to do this we invite the holy spirit in our home to dwell in our home and In ourselves.  The home is the palace. Like the Lord Jesus Christ is head of the church and the Holy Spirit is the Ever Present One guiding, influencing, directing, teaching and enforcing rules laid down in the Word, so the wife is like the Holy Spirit in the home. Our influence in all that goes on in the home is just like the work of the Holy Spirit in the church. We are to lead, teach, comfort, encourage, give and understand in order to build our husband and children up in the Faith.

THE WIFE: as the wife, we are called to not only create a sanctuary in our home, but to be sexually appealing, a cook, a mother, and physically, emotionally and spiritually a fit partner…. Yes, that's a lot! (Now please be reminded, this does not mean that a wife can’t work and a husband can’t cook or clean and care for the home. It’s the attitudes in the heart and the head that makes a difference.) -power of the praying wife

Titus 2:3-5

3) Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4) Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5)  to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

This verse is giving shape and purpose to our ministry as women. Older women teach and train the younger women how to live as christian women. As mothers the same thing applies to our children.

1 Peter 3:1

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a

Proverbs 12:4

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.

1 Corinthians 11:3

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

THE MOM: We are responsible for TEACHING the children. This can be so scary. Especially when we look at society today.

In the biblical worldview, the mission of parents is to raise children to follow God. To that end, God designed the family as the primary unit by which children are cared for, loved, trained, and empowered. This requires both kindness and discipline. Being a Christian mother encompasses a great degree of tension. She must be kind but still uphold biblical expectations, and she must know when to let go of the children she nurtured

A great Christian mom supports, trains and encourages her children to follow God’s words, lives how God desires and participates in Kingdom work.

Her entire day encompasses God in what she says, does and is.

6) And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. 7) Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. 8) Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. 9) Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates (Deuteronomy 6:6-9, NLT).

Proverbs 31:26: "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue."

Deuteronomy 6:6–7: "And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."

Food for thought; Am I leading my child to success towards a Christ centered life in a world trying to corrupt them?

Am I empowering my child to challenge cultural lies?

I read a great sentence in a book called mamma beat apologetics that said, “When society messes with the definition of truth and/or (biblical truth) it is messing with our children’s very foundation of reality."

Deuteronomy 4:9: "Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them

Friends, WE DO NOT want to raise our children to be Christian atheists. We want to raise our children to be a generation that changes generations. I repeat A GENERATION THAT CHANGES GENERATIONS.

Christian Atheist: A christian at convenience, while not living a God centered and led life.

We are not only at a spiritual war with society but a spiritual battle within our homes for our families HEARTS. If we want change we must create the change within the walls and hearts of our homes! WE must set a precedent and foundation of biblical truth in the minds and hearts of our children that they may wear the armor of GOD and fight their battles with the sword of the spirit to fight against cultural lies.

How?

WE ARE THE HEART.

We as women are called to be the HEART for the home, and being the heart means we are in a spiritual battle for our children’s hearts. The change starts at home. It starts with the US.

It is not easy. In a world consumed by social media, so much darkness it can feel almost impossible to protect our children from the ways of the world. That is why we must be diligent in our teachings to bring up our children with the spiritual sword to fight their battles. We cannot shelter our children. Today it is nearly impossible, but what we can do is prepare them, teach them right from wrong in the eyes of Jesus and equip them to face the things of the world with a heart for Christ. If we want change in our world we must create the change in our homes, in ourselves, in our hearts, so we can in our children.

Proverbs 22:6

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”

We are not perfect. Being a Christian in today’s world is hard. Being a Christian mom in today’s world is hard. But we are adorned with the armor of the Lord. We are blessed with every tool we need to bring up our children in the ways of the Lord. We are equipped and ready.

God does not call us to be perfect. He knows this is something we are not capable of. He calls us to teach his word, to stand for him, raise our children to honor him, to follow his leadership for us.
