FROM A PASTOR’S POINT OF VIEW: What A Pastor Needs In A Wife
\n<\/strong>
\nProverbs 31:23
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

PART I<\/p>\n

God does nothing without purpose nor does He leave anything to chance. The call to the ministry is a selection by God, to a special man, for the spiritual purpose of preaching the gospel. This \u00e2\u20ac\u0153call\u00e2\u20ac\u009d may involve many different paths of execution, pastor, evangelist, teacher, preacher and many others. While it is not necessary for this man to be married, the presence of a helpmeet can be an invaluable asset for his ministry. When God calls the man He must also prepare the woman who will be his wife. She then must be a woman who has a keen sympathy to the leadership of God, she will be \u00e2\u20ac\u0153prepared\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by the Lord for this purpose. Another of her virtues must be having a quiet and obedient spirit. She is not the one called but a support to the preacher\u00e2\u20ac\u201dmuch like the staff of a brilliant surgeon in support of the one who skillfully uses the knife to heal the physical illnesses of his patients. Her support of her husband must be staunch both in public and in private. She can be the stalk that holds the grain or the wind that spreads it. Her goals must be as his goals; they win or lose as a team.<\/p>\n
