It is spiritually and physically beneficial for the minister’s wife to set boundaries for outsiders who are invited to offer voluntary assistance in various ways at the mission houses.
This was the expression of the four panelists at this years edition of the Ascension Minister’s Wives Global Conference held recently at Fafraha ,Accra.
The 5 day Global Conference which hosted over 800 in-person Ascension Ministers Wives and over 500 foreign interested viewers,enjoyed the program that was also viewed on TACTV and all the TAC social media handles.The panelists maintained that services that concerns the person of ascension ministers must be the sole responsibility of the ministers wife. For instance,washing of singlets, boxer shorts, brassiers, socks and food items, laying of beds, as well as sweeping of bed rooms.
They said, the ministers household and particularly,the minister must be protected from the physical and spiritual challenges that could affect their health, spiritual maturity, personal growth and development and integrity.The ministers wife must pray for the spirit of discernment to enable them maintain the boundaries they have to set for outsiders.Members were admonished to politely refuse persons who may want to assist them in their home activities.
The panelists said the position as an ascension minister wife is an enviable one which must be jealously guarded, cautioning that food that comes to the mission house may not be bad, however, such had led to the fall of many ministers, some had even lost their lives.In addition, Ministers wives should regulate their husbands eating habits.Panelists admonished that, ascension ministers wives should recognise that, their matrimonial role which should make them submissive to their husbands irrespective of their social, spritual, political and economic status.
