rights and privileges as they have (Galatians 3:26-29). They will start treating them with the honor God expects for His daughters—as the fi ne, priceless treasures, gifts from Him, that they are. Also according to 1 Peter 3:7, husbands are to treat their wives with honor as if they were weaker vessels. This does not mean, however, that women are weaker vessels. God made men and women. Each are superior to the other in certain ways. Both are made in His image: "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" (Genesis 1:27). That means God is both male and female. Every word in the Hebrew language has either male or female gender—except one! Jehovah is the only word that is both male and female gender. So God is as much female as He is male. When God made Adam, Adam was both male and female. God separated the female part from Adam and deposited it in Eve. Then He brought them back together in the covenant of marriage to honor one another (Genesis 2:23-25). Where a man is weak, the woman is strong. Where the woman is weak, the man is strong. United, the two should have no weaknesses. They should honor and reverence He knows that I know the power of my covenant. My enemies have become God's enemies. That blood is the ratifi cation, the guarantee, of the eternal Covenant between me and Almighty God. I am in submission to Him, so when I resist satan based on my Covenant through the shed blood of Jesus and stand my ground, satan must fl ee (James 4:7). He has no choice. Jesus defeated him in awful combat in the pit of hell, making a show of him openly, triumphing over him in it (Colossians 2:14-15). Jesus handed that victory over to us (Matthew 28:18-19). The devil has not forgotten. Honor God. Honor the Covenant. Live a life of honor whether anyone else sees it or not. Husbands, Honor Your Wives "Ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands.... Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered" (1 Peter 3:1, 7). The WORD of God says husbands ought to honor their wives, treating them with care, kindness, tenderness and love. The Scripture also says for wives to honor their own husbands by submitting to them. That does not mean wives are to be under their husband's thumb and to follow their orders. That's not being submissive, that's control and domination. Wives are supposed to give place to their husband's honor toward them. Verse 7 says that husbands should dwell with their wives "according to knowledge." This is referring to knowledge of God's WORD. Husbands and wives are to dwell with each other in honor, submitting to one another in love and honor as God has explained in His WORD, not according to religious tradition. For too long, women have been relegated to second-class citizenship in the kingdom of God simply because proud, foolish men have not understood what the New Testament really teaches about Covenant honor. In their ignorance and arrogance, such men have built dishonorable religious systems that bind up the handmaidens of The LORD. These men are in for a big surprise. The husband will fi nd himself carrying around his wife's Bible for her while she preaches the gospel and wins souls by the millions! I believe the closer we get to the return of Jesus and the catching away of the Church, men in the Body of Christ will repent as they begin to realize that their wives have just as many Covenant We are living in a time where entire generations have not experienced God's honor and presence.
