OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: THURSDAY, MARCH 26TH, 2026 TOPIC: TAKE CARE OF YOUR HUSBAND MEMORISE: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Colossians 3:18 BIBLE READING: EPHESIANS 5:22-24 (KJV) 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23;For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. MESSAGE: In today's Bible reading, wives are instructed to submit to their own husbands in everything. Part of this submission entails helping them to fulfil their God-given assignment and taking care of their needs. Wives are helpmeets (Genesis 2:18-22) and are required to cater to their husbands' spiritual, nutritional, and emotional needs. Wives can care for their husbands spiritually by always praying for them. A good wife should also cater to her husband's nutritional needs. It is not good for a man to be hungry and not be fed. Matthew 21:18-19 tells us that when Jesus was hungry, and He didn't find food on a fig tree, He cursed the tree. An African proverb says a hungry man is an angry man. If you don't feed your husband, you will always have an angry man at home. Wives should also pay attention to their husbands' sexual and emotional needs. Surprisingly, some wives move from one prayer mountain to another in search of a divine intervention that will make their husbands love them more than ever before, yet they neglect their husbands' needs. If a woman honours her husband and sees to it that she caters to his spiritual, nutritional, and sexual needs, all other things being equal, she will not need to be jumping from one prayer mountain to the other to seek his love. When a husband's needs are well catered to by his wife, all other things being equal, he will love and bless her from the bottom of his heart (Proverbs 31:28). Some wives are very respectful towards their bosses at work and pastors in church but disrespect their husbands. Such actions do not please God. Today's memory verse states that wives should submit to their husbands in a way that is fitting unto the Lord. This means that there is a kind of 'submission' that is not fitting unto the Lord. When a wife submits to her husband in one area and hides other things from him because of her selfish ambitions and desires, it is not fitting unto the Lord. Men generally have big egos, and a wife's total submission to her husband caters to his emotional needs and makes him feel valued. When a wife refuses to submit to her husband, she is invariably saying that she doesn't value him, and this is so terrible that it can cause her husband to develop low self-esteem. If you are a wife, taking care of your husband is a God-given assignment; when you do it well, it will open doors of blessings to you. KEY POINT: Wives should submit to their own husbands and take care of their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 SAMUEL 15-16 AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE HYMN: 28 GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH 1 Guide me, O my great Redeemer, pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but you are mighty; hold me with your powerful hand. Bread of heaven, bread of heaven, feed me now and evermore, feed me now and evermore. 2 Open now the crystal fountain, where the healing waters flow. Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, ever be my strength and shield, ever be my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside. Death of death, and hell's Destruction, land me safe on Canaan's side. Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever sing to you, I will ever sing to you.
