Abigailism

Abigailism - Dag-Heward Mills

Abigail was a beautiful woman who was known for her role in curbing her husband’s foolishness. Abigailism is the art of practising what Abigail did in order to prevent tragedy from coming to the family.

Abigail’s husband was a man called Nabal. Nabal comes from the Hebrew word “qasheh”, which means “foolishness or churlishness.”. It is translated into different words in different parts of the Bible. Some of these are: roughly, hard, cruel, stiff-necked, stubborn, grievous, obstinate, trouble, hardhearted and impudent.

Many married women have husbands who fit this description. A woman with direction must use wisdom to co-exist peacefully. She must use the art of Abigailism to have a successful marriage and combine it with a good relationship with God.

Abigailism has six goals. A woman without Abigailism usually achieves one or two of these goals. When you develop the art of Abigailism you will be able to achieve all six goals simultaneously.

As a married woman have you ever tried

To prevent your husband from doing wrong or committing sin.
To prevent your entire family from being destroyed.
To preserve your marriage.
To preserve your relationship with God and the church.
To preserve your ministry.
To prevent a confrontation between your husband and the church.

Many people practice what we call denial. They pretend that the problem is not there. They say that black is white and white is black. Daughter, pretending that a problem is not there does not make it go away. Calling a white thing black does not make it black.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

There are many women who want to hide their problems. They feel that they are disgracing their husbands. There is a fine balance between denigrating your marriage, humiliating your husband and talking frankly about a problem that exists. To denigrate your husband means to blacken his reputation. This is wrong and a woman with direction does not do that!
All, these answers and many more are available for your grasp now.
