Celebrating WOMANS Day – Who is a Real Woman!!

Celebrating WOMANS Day – Who is a Real Woman!!

by | Mar 8, 2023 | Christian Walk, Leadership

Today people are scared to even define a woman. The world fears honouring what God originally designed because of fear of what a few groups of people will say.
But the Bible declares in Proverbs 31:30, “Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised”

So who is a woman who fears God?

The Bible gives us a peek into the lives of certain women (midwives-Shifra and Puah) who went against the decree of the king for the fear of God. And the Bible says, the Lord blessed them and settled them with households. Wow!!!

Here’s the key: Any young woman who wants to be settled by the Lord Himself, the starting point would be to have the fear of God even to the extent of disobeying the king.

You must be wondering who is the king in this story ?

Well let me tell you, the king is not your husband or brother or father or mother. But there is a king in all our hearts that rebels the voice of the Lord.

He is a SELF-PROCLAIMED king and uses his WILL to do what he pleases. It is that king that God wants us to go against, to surrender our will and obey His voice.

To all Married Women,

Your marriage will be stronger if you are married to the Lord first and then your husband. For it is the Lord who will give you the strength, wisdom and direction to make a beautiful home and marriage.

To all the Unmarried Women (planning to get married),

You can chose to build your own household or have the Lord himself plant and build your home. Every day surrender to the lover of your soul and do not make peace with the prince of this world. But use your ‘Will’ to lead your heart to the feet of Jesus.

Isn’t it amazing that not one of the 12 disciples of Jesus were given the position nor the platform to be proclaimed along with the Gospel except for the woman who broke the alabaster jar at the feet of Jesus. Jesus said wherever my story will be told she will be part of my story. He allowed His priceless gospel to be shared with a woman who served him with all her substance.

Wow!

Now that’s what a sinful woman could do to touch the heart of Jesus.

Listen Soar Girls, the Bible says that Solomon was led to other gods by women whom he loved. It can be assumed that woman have a critical characteristic and influence on society that can lead people to God or take them away.

Choose to be that woman who will lead a generation to Jesus by the choices and decisions you make in this life according to the word of God.

Remember, it’s not just the words we speak but the unspoken words that can make our environment weak, crippled and hopeless.
Be a woman of honour “on this woman day’ and speak up for something that’s on Gods heart.

You are blessed and cherished!

The world may call you the weaker sex, but a woman who fears God should be praised for there are such that won wars and got back to life they’re dead.

May the lord Jesus bless you this day and May you be counted as a woman who feared God to disobey the king.

10 Differences between a Girl and a Woman

By Kim D’souza

    By Kim D’souza

Recently I happened to watch a video clip by Pastor Vlad of Hungry Generation Church on the topic 10 differences between a Boy and Man. Here is the link (A must hear for those who consider themselves as men!) I thought it would be nice to have a girl-woman version of it. So here you go:

Here are Ten Differences between a Girl and a Woman

1. A girl craves for attention from people and has an overwhelming concern about her physical appearance. She is under constant pressure to look a certain way and hence makes irrational and extreme choices to keep up to it. A woman knows that she holds the attention of God! She realises that charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but what matters the most is the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 31:30). Her mirror is the Word of God, and she is confident in the fact that she is beautiful the way God created her – Real, unfiltered and ‘unphotoshopped’ (Psalm 139:14).

2. A girl dresses up for the approval of others and in the process ends up in a compromising lifestyle. The way she dresses is to attract people to her. A woman on the other hand dresses up for Jesus, she knows she is the daughter of a king. “So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou Him…The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework…” -Psalm 45:13-14 (KJV). Her clothes carry the finesse of the royalty that runs in her blood – and that attracts the people not to her, but to the King! (That also means she is not casual about her clothing).

Girl – Woman… Who does God say you are?

3. A girl is frivolous in her attitude, takes life as it comes and is easily swayed by situations and the opinions of people around her. Her life revolves around her friends, date nights, social media followers, likes and comments. Her social accounts follow every Tom, Dick and Harry. A woman knows that she has a powerful assignment from God, and every decision she makes in her life is in consciousness of this fact. She doesn’t accept every friend or follow request she receives! She doesn’t linger with time-wasters, and is very careful who she walks with. You see, a girl lives for the moment while a woman is intentional about leaving a legacy behind!

4. A girl’s attitude and lifestyle give access for boys to make approaches, while a woman clothes herself with dignity (Proverbs 31:25). Her walk and her talk are filled with grace, and yet others know where to draw the line. A girl always blames others, while a woman knows that her respect is in her hands!

5. A girl is reckless with her body and uses it provocatively to gain people’s attention, but a woman sets an example before the world in everything – including the way she takes care of her body. She knows that her body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and she leans on God’s wisdom (James 1:5) to steward it. She adapts healthy eating habits, maintains personal hygiene and always smells good!

6. A girl is quick to get into relationships and easily pulls her walls down. She struggles to say no because she doesn’t want to break the heart of the opposite person. A woman knows that she is worth far more than rubies (Proverbs 31:10). She is bold enough to say ‘No’ and preserves her body for the union of marriage. Not breaking God’s heart is more important to her than anybody else’s!

7. A girl often compares herself with others and in the process, she ends up harboring jealousy, pride, offence or low esteem. A woman is secure in the love of God and is thankful to God in everything (1 Thessalonians 5:18). She celebrates when others succeed and lifts others up when they fail.

8. A girl is driven by her temporary craving. She thinks that she is the center point of the entire universe, and lavishly spends on herself and her never-ending shopping list! A woman knows that it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). At the same time, she is a good steward of the money and knows how to plan for her future and her family.

9. A girl is led by her emotions and mood swings. She is very sensitive to what people say and makes her tears a crutch. A woman learns to become sensitive to the Holy Spirit more than people around her. She knows that her tears are precious and makes them her strength by shedding them at the feet of Jesus.

10. A girl uses her tongue to spark fire and cause great damage to herself and others. A woman knows that in quietness and trust is her strength (Isaiah 30:15). Many a time she wins her battles with her conduct, and without words!
