What An Excellent Wife Looks Like

Dr. Conrad Mbewe, preaching from Proverbs 31:10–31 under the theme “A Woman Who Fears the Lord,” concluded the final Chapel session of the year by highlighting the beauty and strength of godly womanhood. Throughout Proverbs, women are mentioned, but the book closes by celebrating the excellent woman—one who fears the Lord and brings honour to her household. Dr. Mbewe explained that this passage focuses greatly on her industrious nature: she works hard, thinks wisely, plans for the long term, and approaches labour as an act of worship to God. Her diligence and intelligence make her both productive and dependable. He also noted that she is generous and caring, extending her hands to the poor while faithfully caring for her family. She supports her husband, manages her home with wisdom and kindness, and ensures her household is secure in both the present and the future. Her children call her blessed, and her husband praises her because her godly character enriches everyone around her. Dr. Mbewe concluded by reminding men to seek women who fear the Lord, and women to seek the Lord above all else, for it is Christ who gives both men and women the wisdom and priorities needed to live a godly life.The African Christian University, founded by the Reformed Baptist Church Association of Zambia, aims to glorify God in the pursuit of truth.
