Pillar and Watchman

Ever wondered what hold up buildings and act as a support system for buildings? Ever wondered what that solid base that stabilises the building and prevents it from collapsing is? It is the pillar! The pillar of a building are usually solid, sturdy and supportive structures.

Amazingly, a woman is designed in similitude to the pillar! Yes, a woman is the pillar. You might be wondering, the pillar of what? She is the pillar of her home!

You are the pillar of your home! Yes, you might still be in your teenage years and probably have not pictured yourself as a mum and a wife to be, even though it's rare, because majority of teenage girls have this fantasy of what they want their home to be like. I have those fantasies too. Let's not talk about my fantasies.

Don't you think a pillar must be extraordinarily strong to hold up a building? Yes, it is. So in like manner, as a woman, you are very strong and have the capacity to hold up your home.

Now, what makes a pillar strong? It is one of the characteristics of a pillar called strength. A pillar is designed in such a way to bear weight and withstand external forces like wind, earthquakes or gravity.

You are the pillar but... do you have the strength? Do you have enough strength to hold up your home? When external forces come against you, can you withstand? Have you built strength enough to make you stand in difficult times and face the forces head on?

Look in Proverbs 31:17 "She girds herself with strength, and strengthens her arms." 

As a woman, you should build up strength and why? So as to hold up your home. Besides being a pillar, you're the watchman of your home. You really need strength to actively stay in your duty post as a watchman in your home and also hold up your home.

According to that scripture, the strength you should build up as a woman is the physical strength and the strength of the spirit. You should make it a habit to gird yourself with strength daily (strength of the spirit) and also strengthen your arm (physical strength).

A weak pillar can never hold up a building, it will surely collapse at the hit of external forces. Likewise, you can never hold up your home or withstand external forces if you're weak both in spirit and the physical.

To build up the strength of your spirit, there's just one way and I mean it when I say just one way. And this way is by waiting upon the Lord.

Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."

Waiting upon the Lord entails fellowshipping with God in the place of prayers, study of the bible, worship, reading of Christian faith based books, and meditation.

Remember, you are a watchman and need strength to defeat the devil when he comes to attack you and your home. The devil is ever attacking homes. If only many attacked homes had strong pillars, the home would not have been defeated. Why do you think there is divorce and separation here and there? The devil is on the loose and attacking homes!

Will you be a strong pillar? Will you cultivate the habit of waiting upon the Lord to build up the strength of your spirit? The spiritual controls the physical. It takes a strong pillar with a strengthened spirit to defeat the fiery darts of the enemy and this strength is gotten in the place of waiting upon the Lord.

You are a companion, help meet and a housekeeper. You need physical strength to carry out these responsibilities as well. So yes, eat healthy, exercise regularly and never forsake the place of waiting upon the Lord.

You are the seed bearer. Your seed (offspring) will have a will of God to establish on earth and so you must be a covering and a pillar for them.

You cannot afford to fail God in protecting His vessels unto honour. If you do not build strength in your spirit now to uphold your home, it would be very difficult to do so when you have your home. You don't want to be struck before tightening your seat belt in the place of prayers.

And if you have a home already and it seems like the devil is already having his way, now you know it's because you've been weak. Good news, you now know how to be strong! Build up that prayer altar again! Life is not all about the physical, there is spiritual warfare! Build up your strength in the place of waiting upon the Lord.

Your husband and children need your covering. They need their pillar and watchman to wake up from slumber and defeat the devil head on!

God wants you as a woman to build up strength and stay on your duty post as the pillar and watchman of your home to prevent the devil from having his way in your home and ruining innocent lives!

You are a watchman, a pillar and your worth is far above rubies.

Are you maybe in the dark of your current relationship and in search for the light? Or are you lost in yourself due to the "went sour" relationship and in search for the light?
