OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: SUNDAY JULY 13TH 2025

THEME: HELPMEET INDEED

MEMORISE: The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. Proverbs 31:11

READ: Prov 31:10-31

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

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

12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

MESSAGE
A helpmeet is a wife who complements and supports her husband to fulfil God's purpose for their lives even when it is not convenient.

God ordained marriage as an institution where a wife helps her husband instead of competing with him, as the world paints it today. Just as the individuals in a team cannot compete against their teammates and expect to win, couples who compete against each other should not expect a successful marriage. A house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:25). A husband and his wife are one and should work together as a team to achieve success in their marriage and in life (Mark 10:7-8

Some highly successful women have allowed pride into their hearts such that they stop submitting to their husbands. Up until today, my wife cooks my meals. When the situation permits, she irons my clothes, and I iron hers too. When I was a teacher, and we were living in a remote location, she used to cut my hair. Just like the virtuous woman's husband in today's Bible reading, my heart safely trusts in her. She is never too busy to help me, and she upholds anything I uphold.

I remember when we were building the Mount Carmel Prayer Village. It was a massive project, but I went there only thrice-the day the foundation laying ceremony was done, the day I decided to take my grandchildren there, and the day the completed project was dedicated.
Throughout the duration of the construction, my wife supervised the project diligently - that is a helpmeet indeed! She is always willing to go through the necessary rigors to see that I achieve my goal. She has stood by me through thick and thin, which is why she has full access to everything God blesses me with. When a responsible man has a true helpmeet as a wife, he'll go the extra mile to protect her and make her comfortable and happy. I often say that a fellow can slap me, and I'll turn the other cheek, but if anyone touches my wife, such a fellow will have my God, the Consuming Fire, to contend with.

As a wife, can your husband rely on you? You must be able to make up for his weaknesses, celebrate his successes, and be his number one cheerleader. If you are a man that has a helpmeet indeed by his side, you must nourish and cherish her. She is a priceless gem and must be treated as one.

Prayer point
Today is my wife's birthday, please join me to pray that the Lord will continue to strengthen and uphold her.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Song of Solomon 1-4

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 24: I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS

1. I want to be like Jesus,
So lowly and so meek;
For no one marked an angry word,
That ever heard Him speak.

2. I want to be like Jesus,
So frequently in prayer;
Alone upon the mountain top,
He met his Father there.

3. I want to be like Jesus,
I never, never find
That He, though persecuted was
To any one unkind.

4. I want to be like Jesus,
Engaged in doing good;
So that of me it may be said
"He hath done what he could."

5. I want to be like Jesus,
Who sweetly said to all,
"Let little children come to Me;"
I would obey the call.

6. But oh I'm not like Jesus,
As any one may see;
O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace,
And make me like to Thee.

Good morning. Please go to church today

Mod: Nlfpmod and others. Good morning to you all today

The MEET changed MAN to "MUMU" and the LIFE goes on.

This is really a good woman to marry, do we have them in churches today?

If no

Where are they

How many women that are wives are actually helping their husbands achieve their purpose in life. Many get into marriage with their own agenda and purpose, whether they are woke or diva, their own will and desires count more than following any form of leadership, well are they to be blamed, even church going ladies proclaim equality and believe in their 50-50 right. In fact some expect help from their husbands without rendering any form o substantial help to the man's goal and vision.

They speak more than they act, and complain, nag, irritate and even a times drive the husband crazy or away from the home.

Prov.21.9 Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack than share a mansion with a nagging spouse.

Some of them expect to be loved with little to even no submission, to them greeting you and cooking for you, even giving you children is submission enough

Prov.21.19 It is better to live alone in the desert than with a crabby, complaining wife.


Finally men IF you CAN'T find a GOOD WIFE please stay SINGLE. 🙏🏾

This is the Bible standard for a wife not one that doesn’t want to provide any sort of support to a man, expecting him to provide everything.

May we find favor in God’s sight to find a helpmate.

Who was Jesus's and Paul's helpmate?

All those disciples wey no marry who be their helpmates?

AntiChristian:

Marriage is optional
Why not make your research before you expose your IQ

And you went to school, how did the "meet" turn man to mumu? Do you even know the meaning of "helpmeet"?

Help meet or help mate?

Women were also created for a purpose and an agenda which is not primarily to help a man. This help meet thing has what have made many women go through this life living in the shadow of their husbands and the only thing they achieve is that they are wives and mothers.

As a woman helps a man, the man too should help her achieve her purpose as the bridegroom that he is..

I just feel like I should point that out even if I concur with your submission.

The king James translation says help "meet" meaning a help that is "suitable"

Were you the one who created women? For you to say, "Women were also created for a purpose and an agenda which is not primarily to help a man."

Because I recall that God who fashioned them, was for them to help man, isn't the creator the one who determines the original or "primary" purpose for what he makes.

Opinions like yours are a times are the reason for confusion. What does helping someone have to do with being in their shadows.

Did our parents, or mothers not help us achieve our goals, are they in our shadows? Imagine if your parents or mother was selfish and only cared about what she wanted. Obviously the way they help children is different from the way a wife is expected to help her husband, but you have undermined the role of wives and mothers and limited a women's help to only those two functions and roles. That's having a very limited view and expectation of the value of help a female can render to her spouse.
