THE FAVOUR; GIFT VERSUS RESPONSIBILITY.
"THE FAVOUR":GIFT VERSUS RESPONSIBILITY .
BY OBI PRINCESS O.
Please next time you see a man talking about finding a wife, congratulate him and ask him "who have the Lord favoured you with? "
And in case it's a lady that tells you that she is getting married, please help me ask her "who has the Lord choosen you to favour ?"
I need you to take a brief moment to digest the above questions.
I write out of burden by the level of misappropriated notions, conducts and attitude I see among people simply because they lack the revelational understanding of God's original structure for marriage.
Most ladies have been abused emotionally and psychologically by some ignorant men they call fiance or husband. Some have had their self esteem bruised and battered because they themselves also lack knowledge of their significant position in a man's destiny. That's why they can beg for attention and do anythings to get an engagement ring from a Man even from one that threatens and abuses them. There is pervasion and reverse of a woman's place in a man's life because of lack of knowledge of our functional placement by God. And unfortunately for some men, for same reason mentioned above, they also miss this precious packaged gift of favour in form of a woman from God. That is why I pity any husband that maltreats his wife or makes her bitter. See this scripture ;

1 Peter 3:7; Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
But in this article, I am particularly concerned with the gift (Favour carrier), that is the woman and her responsibility as a carrier of such precious gift(favour).
So, it will require that we split this article into two parts, which are;
1. The Gift (Favour carrier) and
2. The responsibility.

New International Version
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.
New Living Translation
The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the LORD.
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.
New Living Translation
The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the LORD.
From the scripture above, the bible referred to the "wife" as "a good thing" "a Treasure".
Let's take a look at definition of the above words.
Good:Pleasant. Desirable. High quality standard. Virtuous. Morally right. Beneficial. Approved of.Advantage. Useful. Skillful.Having the desired quality.

With the above descriptions I hope you should be able to understand what you are meant to represent in the life of the man God brings into your life?
You are good woman! You should therefore not be anything less than the above qualities except you are not a "wife" indeed.
And because you are "good", you are not meant to be treated less. You don't demand it, you earn it naturally. A man of understanding will see it and embrace you not embarrass you.
Goodness is your nature. It should run from the inside and not just for people out there,but for yourself first before flowing out. Because it is what is inside that goes out to minister to others. You can not give what you don't have. Even though God has already declared the Woman a good thing to a man that finds her, what then is wrong with some women? Why does it seem like some women are "bad" ? The very reverse of what they are meant to be? Why have some women betrayed the natural makeup of being good?
If you understand the significance and the importance you occupy in God's agenda for the man that finds you, you won't be comfortable becoming or remaining less than good. You won't give room to anything or anyone to corrupt your goodness.
You are so important that God put a tag on you! You are so precious that for your sake, God automatically endows a man with the most sort after value ; FAVOUR!
You need to get this right! The bible passage we read simply said, that because a man finds you, he obtains favour(approval,commendation,goodwill,support, kindness,benevolence
e.t.c.) from God!
Favour is what people can do anything to get. People can buy gifts and agree to alot of demanding conditions to obtain favour. People can reduce themselves to nothing and face demeaning situations just to be favoured. But, God just attached it to you to top up your value! That's how much God values you. God simple made you an asset by that divine arrangement.
God in other words, gave a man the simplest secret to finding favour while making you the channel through which men can get it from the source(I.e, God himself). You are the wonderful gift God gives to a man when he wants to favour him. You Carry the favour that a man needs to experience a better and fulfilled life. You are an Advantage to the man. Just for finding you, God transfers the check of favour to a man's account!
That is why you shouldn't be careless woman!. You have a role to play in ensuring that God's agenda is not disappointed.
That we would be discussing in our next article.
