The Rightful Position Of A Woman Of God



Who is a woman of God and what is her rightful position? Women of God are responsible for an enviable position in God’s kingdom, of which they will give account of later to God. You will surely see good days when you obey God’s command.

Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my [Isaiah’s] voice, you confident and careless daughters! Listen to what I am saying! In little more than a year you will be shaken with anxiety, you careless and complacent women; for the vintage will fail, and the ingathering will not come. Tremble, you women who are at ease! Shudder with fear, you complacent ones! Strip yourselves bare and gird sackcloth upon your loins [in grief]! – Isaiah 32:9-11 (AMP)

You are to wake up from slumber and get on your knees, if you are to continue to see good days in future. Your today is as a result of the prayers you prayed or did not pray yesterday; and your tomorrow will be a result of prayers prayed or not prayed today.

Who is a woman of God?

But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name – John 1:12 (AMP)

We can deduce from the above scripture that a woman of God is a woman who loves God, has received Jesus as her personal saviour and obeys all His commands, both the written word of God and the personal instructions from God.

In addition, God is her number one priority: every other thing is secondary. Her life is centred on God. Also, she loves people and shows it by her actions. Furthermore, she lives a sacrificial life.

What is the rightful position to take?

Based on today’s text (Isaiah 32: 9-20), the rightful position to take is “on your knees.”  It is a position you must maintain if you want to see good days all your life, in your family, church or nation.  
You are to arise and take the position of a diligent prayer warrior. Otherwise, the forces of darkness will have a free day causing havoc within your territory: strife, division, sickness and diseases, poverty, and abominable occurrences will come like bandits. Read more...

The Little Foxes That Rob Your Peace Of Mind (Part 2)


Today we will look at the concluding part of the little foxes that rob your peace of mind. God has ordained perfect peace for you, so you must identify any fox that wants to steal it from you. Below are more foxes to watch out for.

1.    Low self-esteem
Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am only a youth. But the Lord said to me, Say not, I am only a youth; for you shall go to all to whom I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Be not afraid of them [their faces], for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord – Jeremiah 1:6-8 (AMP)

Low self-esteem troubles the heart. It affects your relationships and breeds insecurity and inefficiency. You need to see yourself as God sees you: you are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath. God has made you a king and you shall rule on earth.
Do not allow the lies of the enemy about you to steal your peace, neither allow the opinions of people to form you. Agree with God’s declaration of you and your self-esteem will improve tremendously.

2.    Unfulfilled expectations
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise – Hebrews 10:35-36 (NKJV)

Many times when people don’t realise their expectations, they tend to lose their peace of mind. It could be that people failed to meet up with your expectations of them or your heart desires were not met. Whatever the case may be, you should not allow unfulfilled expectations to rob you of your peace. You have need of patience to receive your heart desires.

The Little Foxes That Rob Your Peace Of Mind (Part 1)



What can rob your peace of mind? There are little foxes that you must beware of if you want to consistently be at peace. These foxes when not warded off have the power to destroy whatever they can lay their paws on. Therefore it is most important that you identify and deal with them. 

Catch us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines, for our vines have tender grapes. - Song of Solomon 2:15 (NKJV) 

Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] – John 14:27 (AMP)

God has given you peace of mind through His son Jesus, but you need to diligently guard your heart in order to keep away anything that may trouble it. The root cause of no peace is lack of focus on Jesus, the Prince of peace. Anything that aims at taking your focus off Jesus is targeting your peace. Therefore, you must ensure that you deny these little foxes access to your heart.

The peace robbers

1.      Love of money
For the love of money is a root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have been led astray and have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves through with many acute [mental] pangs. 1 Timothy 6:10 (AMP) Read more...

The Holy Spirit And The Love Of God In A Christian



Have you ever wondered how you can access the love of God? Christian believers need to possess and walk in God’s love for them to enjoy the blessings of God. It therefore becomes necessary that a Christian believer engages the help of the Holy Spirit, who is the distributor and facilitator of the Lord’s perfect love, in order to access and enjoy its benefits. 

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us – Romans 5:5 (NKJV)

But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you – John 14:26 (AMP)

The Holy Spirit distributes the love of God into the hearts of Christian believers.  At new birth, every Christian believer possesses the love of Christ by the help of the Holy Spirit. And the power to walk in love is released at this time. In other words, as a believer you have the God-given ability to walk in God’s love within you.

The Spirit of God also facilitates the love of God through you. He helps you to show love to people. It is not by your might or by your power but by the help of Holy Spirit. Unconditional love is impossible without His help. He is the one who empowers you to love the unlovable and to make unthinkable sacrifices for others. Read more...
