Army Wife’s creed


Click on image for larger version


I am the wife of an American Soldier. 

I am a supporter of the United States Army — an encouragement for the protectors of the greatest nation on earth.

Because I am proud of my husband and the uniform that he wears.

I will always act in the ways creditable to him, the military service and the nation he is sworn to guard.

I am proud of my husband. I will do all that I can to protect and provide for my family in his absence.

I will be loyal to my husband and the vows that we made as we entered the covenant of marriage.

I will do my full part to carry on the values and goals we have set apart for our children in the same manner.

As a soldier's wife, I realize that I play a vital role in my husband's decision to become a member of a time-honored profession; that I am doing my share to keep a live the principles of freedom for which my country stands.

No matter what situation I am in, I will never do anything for pleasure, profit, or personal safety, which will disgrace my husband, his uniform or our country, I will use every means I have to encourage my husband to be the best soldier that he can be.

I am proud of my husband, my county and its flag.

I will fly the flag and will always remember the sacrifices made by my husband and by generations of men and women that have served our beloved country.

I will try to make my husband proud of the manner in which I accept his decision to defend my freedom and the freedom of all American citizens.

For I am the Wife of an American Soldier.


=============================================
I found this and it made me wonder — what should be the creed of a the wife of a heavenly soldier, a man who sacrifices his life in God's Army? If you are one and have any thoughts, please add your comments here.

I keep the same values and principles, however since I have no children I've joined the army too—I am also a soldier. I am together with my husband in every battle, fight or war bringing honor no my dear God.

Creed of a Pastor's wife.

I am wife of a heavenly soldier .

With great honor, I am married to a soldier of the heavenly army of God Almighty.

I argue this work, serving and respecting my husband for his dedication and loyalty to the army of God.

Because we are together in this war, regardless of circumstances.

I have no personal desires in his triumph in the war. My dedication as a loyal wife of a pastor is and will be only honor him without any reason for shame or dishonor.

Because I am faithful to his vow that we made at the Altar of our Lord, dedicating all my support to him.

All my love, loyalty and respect, because all these years of servitude never surrendered in the midst of a war, never ceased deviate from their unique goals.

I keep my vow, doing that not be one more in the army.
Be one.

I am proud of my husband because he never gave me a reason to not have.

I will be a reason of pride for my husband, because I will support him while his vow to serve, remains for the suffering souls.


I do not hope to receive medallions of honor in his uniform. Because their victories are not his achievements but his stay until the end.

Because I am a wife of a heavenly soldier.

This message speaks volumes to me because it shows how much value and love people hold to the things they love. I wish that i could take this mentality into my spiritual life and uphold the name of the Lord all throughout my life.

I found that many christians have many things deep in their hearts that have nothing to do with God, these may come from a respectfull parent, a leader, etc. And, it is these thought that rule their life, then after they considere what god Word tells about it! May our Lord God lead our deep thoughts first! In faith, in Jesus mighty name!

I have to admit, I could not identify much with the wife of the American soldier, because she remains at home, while he is in battle. I however, cannot afford that luxury, because that would make me a weak link. I also march in battle.

I say this not in the feminist sense, believing I am an equal to a man, but in the sense that the best way I can serve my husband is to be a soldier as well. I too am a soldier, who fights to maintain her faith, so as not to burden my husband with problems only God can solve. I fight to keep good thoughts, so I won't contaminate him against the God he serves and the authorities ordained by the God he serves. I fight to always be well emotionally, so I won't drag him down and demotivate him. I fight to maintain my own personal relationship with God, so I won't be a spiritual burden to him.

I am the wife of a heavenly soldier, a fellow soldier, fighting my own war, so that I may be one less person he needs to worry about protecting when he is at war.

I am the wife of a heavenly soldier, a fellow soldier. I kill my own enemies, so he may have less to kill. I save myself, so he may have less to save.

I am the wife of a heavenly soldier, the fellow soldier who's always got his back.

I liked the text created for Heavenly Soldier´s wife, Mrs Renata. I am going to become one soon, and it helps me to mirror me in this text. Thank you Bishop Renato for your dedication on this blog.

This is vert strong and true. It shows me not only the influence and power of a wife in her husbands life, but also that we can be either a blessing or a curse to others. We should strive to be the best wife, daughter, sister, friend, servant and the list goes on.

I may not be married to a pastor but my husband as a servant of God together with me, he is a heavenly soldier. In this journey of faith we march together and we fight the battle hand in hand as no soldier leaves the other soldier behind. I am being reminded of the advice I got from his (our) father when we got married and i was introduced to his family. Our (his)father said to me "from now on you should know that in everything you do, you must respect and protect his name as when people see you they see him and he said the same thing to him." through my vows before God and all the witnesses that were present on that special day of our life, I vowed to support, love, respect, submit and honour him all the days of my life." It's a great honour to be married to one of a kind - heavenly soldier and I respect the work we do for the Almighty and it's the best ever and no reward can match it.

Wow, I have to say that this blog has really touched me and has inspired me to be better. I am not a wife, but I want to be one day, and I want to prepare from now. A wife's role, especially the wife of a heavenly soldier, has a huge role. Her role is crucial to her husband, and she needs to make sure she helps him stand, not fall. This has inspired me to start preparing from now so that I can truly be that wife my future husband will need, so that together, we can glorify God.

This is what i need to keep in mind for the future as i'm not married now but i wish to soon. The women is the back bone for the husband, As his their fighting his life for the life of the people of God she must make sure she does the same for him.

I might not be a wife yet but the princples i recieved in this message i will keep with me until that special day thank bishop renato for the word of faith

leilani.hurtado said...

This is very powerful. The dedication of an army wife must be very strenuos, so how much mor will a pastor's wife be?

Elsie Da Silva said...

I loved this creed!
As a Pastor's wife, we are in the same shoes of an army's wife. To marry a member of God's Army we have to be fully committed to this creed as well, (which is the same creed relating to the spiritual war rather then the physical war).
Only the Spiritual war of God's Army is far more stressful, longer hours, and takes a lot of mental toll, so we have to be there for our Soldier.

Creed of a servant of Christ

I am a servant to my Heavenly Father, God almighty...

With Honour I am part of His Heavenly army.

I serve and respect my Lord Jesus Christ for His Love and mercy towards me.

I made a vow to be faithful until the end. To fight every battle with Him by my side and to do His will always.

I do not accept to put His name to shame in any; way, form or manner.

All the days of my life I am in a battle daily to see His name glorified and to win the war.

I do not claim to seek the glory in any blessings I receive, but to praise His name with every victory achieved.

I keep my vow to make a clear difference between those who serve Him and those who don't.

Because I am a soldier in Gods Heavenly army.

Oh my God,
Bishop this just brought tears to my eyes. I have printed it out.

The creed of a wife of a soldier of God, should be the same and as of this wife and much more, and my creed is to always pray for my husband, to fast and sacrifice for him, to give him all the support he needs putting aside my selfish desires to make sure that his calling is "answered"!

Marsha said...

As a wife of an heavenly soldier, together our plans for saving souls have to be achieve with many more standards and dignity than freedom of a country, rather for the Kingdom of God, and also to be in the battle with my husband.

hector said...

This is really how one should take the word of God in practice. This is how we should think of God and be willing to follow his will. It's very nice. I like this blog a lot.

Sandra Campos said...

This blog is very touching because it makes you think about of alot things because it not easy to be a soldier wife because the wife cant depend on the husband as much.And it teaches that you could be a soldier of god because your already to fight .

Sigourney said...

This message is very strong in many words, how to value the respect as a wife and a soldier.
The soldier who sacrifices his life to protect our freedom and country.The wife who is very supportive of her husband decision, and understand whats very important in life.

naomi said...

Hello Bishop,
What I've learnt from this message is that we need to remain committed and loyal to God from every action that we do, especially from our decisions which should be in accordance to God's will so that we continue please him.

Hi Bishop.

My view is there are some similarities in both wife of a heavenly solider and army wife almost live the same lives both their husbands are in a battle one in a spiritual battle and the other in a physical battle, both wives will not accept to bring disgrace to their husband.

It is like our relationship with God! We cannot allow to bring Him shame nor disgrace His name, with Him our battle is won, with Him in the battle we are attentive, with Him our lives are protected, but what guarantees the soldiers will come back safe to his family? its how he fight!

Although the wife of an american soldier is hard the wife of a heavenly soldier is harder because not only has she got to maintain her husbands honour with grace; she has to make sure their relationship with God always stays at the top.
She encourages the protexctors of God's kingdom as well as helping in the fight to save others from the enemy.
An american soldier's wife is somewhat honourable but a heavenly soldier's wife is honourable but also an inspiration. It a job that the weak cannot take up.
This post has helped me make a very strong realisation bishop, thank you

judy witbooi said...

Great post bishop it makes me realise the responsibility I have as a woman to my husband our Lord and saviour therefor I will do the same

Va'Nessah said...

This showed me how much a woman, wife has to play for her husband. I want to get married when im older and i want to be the best wife for my husband i want to add to his life and be a blessing not a curse, whether hes working or not i have to work. I need to be an influence to him as much as he is to myself.
