A WOMAN THAT REVERENTIALLY FEARS THE LORD SHALL BE PRAISE: I FOUND THAT WOMAN IN NKEMDILIM [MY WIFE] IN LIFE AND GRACE!
“SAY [GRACIOUS WORDS] ye to the RIGHTEOUS, that it shall be WELL [WHOLE] with him: for they shall eat the FRUIT of their DOINGS” Isaiah 3:10.
Dear holy and righteous beloved brother in Christ Jesus, when last did you take time to write a note about the darlyn Sister that turned into a friend and then turned into a wife in your life without regretting it? I attended a dear family friend wife birthday years ago where the dear brother was telling us he loves his wife as part of the closing; and end up the closing by saying “till next year” again. And we were all puzzled and stunned when he said it’s once in a year so that it doesn’t go into her head as he’s doing loving things and don’t need to say it often. And I wondered how many are in such state of not being able to express daily their love to their spouse vocally apart from the doings.
Then I recall the scripture says, I am paraphrasing – “Say to the righteous it shall be well with them” Isaiah 3:10; and the righteous includes your spouse’s and in this context your wife, which indicates saying gracious words of wellness and wholeness and loveliness and liveliness and such like to the righteous in all circumstances, and irrespective – of which I see my wife in that picture and context too, hence I am very mindful of gracious words to being spoken in life and grace, as I found in the Lord Jesus, that made the people wondered and amazed to asked questions, if He wasn’t the Son of Joseph. It simply because the gracious words was to counter the distorted words and adulterated words and demeaning words and polluted words and probably cursing and swearing words being spoken about in His days in humanity as about us today, that ought not to be to our fellow being for any reason and irrespective.
“And all bare Him [JESUS] witness and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.
Hence, I am not just saying but writing to wake you up from your once in a while sayings or writing’s about your dear lovely Sister turned into a friend and then turned into a wife as I do about mine today. Indeed, the scripture was right to say expressly that:
“Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], she shall be praised and admired” [Proverbs 31:30].
“Live JOYFULLY with the wife whom thou LOVEST all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy PORTION in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun” Ecclesiastes 9:9.
And I found the scriptural context above so, in my NKEMDILIM, my wife, the daughter of Zion as she earnestly endeavours daily to live meaningfully and to fulfill God’s given purpose scripturally; and endeavouring to ensure that she’s equally renewing her days as the eagle effortlessly in life and grace. I never knew that someone else outside us was observing untill when I heard this phrase spoken to me in her absence:
“It takes Faith to get FAITH” – Rev Pete Davis.
The statement above was the phrase said to me by Rev Pete Davis while travelling with him and others from a Hillsong Minister Conference, London, some years ago. I have not forgotten it. He was teasing me in a good way on how I got my beautiful wife. That I took faith to get FAITH. Initially I couldn’t get his logic until a while in course of the journey and we all laughed at the gracious words spoken. And I said in response that, “It takes Faith to keep FAITH” also. And I can’t help but to PRAISE this Beautiful Daughter of Zion – Nkemdilim Faith MORSI [my Wife], for the gracious walks together, through the years – the good and the challenging times. She is just loving, adorable, fabulous, sweet, gorgeous and blessed indeed.
And more recently, I have come to discover a new her, more and again after all these years of her being around me – She just keep renewing her days and our days as the Eagle. Simply because, she is fashioned in the similitude of God’s gracious and graceful palace; and crafted wonderfully and fearfully in God’s reverential image and likeness as if I never knew before but knowing to refresh, rejuvenate, rekindle and to keep glowing and glittering again and again [Psalms 144:12; Psalms 139:13-18].
I have been away and busy for a week only to return and find out that she and God has renewed her days again and again and again and . . . Now all things have become so lovely, lively, refreshing and rejuvenating.
I have come to know in grace that beauty is gracious and not vain when you reverentially fear the Lord. For it’s an inside out trajectory and not just a mere outwardly display with emptiness. And my wife had shown as she keeps showing that God MADE her so and it’s marvellous live in such graciousnesss and gracefulness. I BELIEVE it! That SETTLES it!! And I therefore confirm this message irrespective.
Blessed regards.

“Many daughters have done nobly, and well [with the strength of character that is steadfast in goodness], BUT YOU EXCEL THEM ALL” 30 Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain, BUT A WOMAN WHO FEARS THE LORD [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], SHE SHALL BE PRAISED. 31 Give her of the product of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates [of the city]” Proverbs 31:29-31/Amplified.
“He has made everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s” Psalms 103:1-5.
