READ: 1 Samuel 25:10-35
“The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things” – Proverbs 15:28
In this passage, you see Abigail’s attempt to preserve both her husband and her relationship with God’s servant. You do not have to be very intelligent to see that her husband was hard-hearted and insensitive to the things of God.
Yet, she was married to him and it was not the will of God for her to break up! A woman with direction wants to preserve her marriage and her ministry. Her relationship with God is very important and she is not prepared to give it up for anything. How do you balance these two when you are married to a carnal Christian or an unbeliever?
Please imbibe the wisdom that comes from above and learn the strategy that Abigail adopted for the ministry. Abigailism is a term I use to describe the art of practising what Abigail did to prevent tragedy from coming to her family. Below are six goals of Abigailism.
1. To prevent your husband from committing sin.
2. To prevent your entire family from being destroyed.
3. To preserve your marriage.
4. To preserve your relationship with God and the church.
5. To preserve your ministry.
6. To prevent a confrontation between your husband and the
church.
The types of husbands that existed in times past are the same types of husbands that you find today. That is why every woman needs the art of Abigailism today
