Influence

But Jehoram followed the example of the kings of Israel and was as wicked as King Ahab, for he had married one of Ahab’s daughters. So Jehoram did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. - 2 Chronicles 21

Ahaziah also followed the evil example of King Ahab’s family, for his mother encouraged him in doing wrong. He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, just as Ahab’s family had done. They even became his advisers after the death of his father, and they led him to ruin. - 2 Chronicles 22


26 The assassins were Jozacar, the son of an Ammonite woman named Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of a Moabite woman named Shomer. 

- 2 Chronicles 24


The Bible usally talks about the history of the Kings of Israel. It records how they ruled the Kingdom wether in rightoeusness or wickedness. But if you read closer, you will trace that their rulership in either righteousness or wickedness has been hugely influenced by the women in their lives. Whether it be a man's wife, or a man's Mother, a woman in a man's life greatly influences a man and how he lives his life. Therefore if you are a woman, be careful to how you instruct your sons, your husbands and even your brothers. Woman, your life can directly influence a man's success or downfall. That is why there is a famous statement that says in every success or downfall of a man is a woman behind it.

Ladies, be careful how you instruct your sons or husbands about life and how to live. Your advice is greatly sought after by these men because they trust that whatever you say or teach is truly what is right and good. Isn't it a wonder how a father is the head of a family or the home, yet a woman can easily manipulate or control how a man leads? It is therefore with utmost care, that we understand our motives and the truth of the issues going on around us. And so whatever we decide to impart to others, let it be always in line with the word of GOD. Directly proportional to HIS ways, and approved by HIS Spirit so that our own lives will reflect GOD's glory and positively impact good to those that surround us.
