Hey Sister #5: THIS IS NOT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, THIS IS NOT FEMINISM,THIS IS ABOUT WOMEN ENTERING INTO AUTHORITY ACCORDING TO GOD'S PERFECT PLAN

                                                         

    

                 "The inhabitants of the villages ceased , 

                    they ceased in Israel , until that I Deborah arose ,

                         that I arose a mother in Israel."

                                                                   Judges 5:7

From my days at Sunday school as a kid, I learned that the enemy came through a woman (Eve and the apple). A close look at history and popular culture and you realise that undoubtedly through out the ages when live changing events happen for good or bad a woman usually plays a defining role. Just as there are good women, there also are bad women. But Alas! Even amongst the bad, there are thousands of Rahabs who decide enough is enough and ARISE to change the status quo. 

A couple of weeks I was on a radio talk show produced by my Sensei and Big Brother Kingsley Wenenda Wali. We jaw jawed on issues pertaining to women participation in the democratic process in the light of politics etal and 2015. In the course of the interview, he threw me a curve ball by playing the faith card ( no surprise there, because my maniacal love and attraction to Jehovah and my addiction to Jesus is an open secret). His questioned bordered  on whether religion had a part to play in our less than impressive inclusion in the democratic process. 

He spoke of Nigeria women who had made their mark in the past. call them game Changers if you will, but they made a difference and he regretted there was a dearth of such women in present day Nigeria.

It got me thinking and I realised that perhaps it was so in past seasons because such women faced with limited options fought to get what they felt they had a right to. And having broken the glass ceiling, the majority that have come behind have failed abysmally because we lost our passion in the rat race.

Apart from the few that are making a mark (and I speak solely from the POV of a Christian Woman without prejudice to Women of other Faith who are exceptional also). the rest seem to fail because unfortunately some have attempted to enter into God' authority outside the boundaries and timing of God, thereby producing confusion and a measure of reproach upon the whole of the female gender.  

Is it any surprise therefore that the enemy continues to oppress and attempt to stop women from becoming all that God has created them to be. satan is no fool and understands the strategic role of women as GATEWAYS to either good or evil and he uses smokescreens and mirrors to seduce her into becoming a willing tool. 

Sadly, so many womenfolk (Churchgoers and the non goers alike), have not "wised up" to the  shenanigans of satan and fall like a pack of cards to his whims and caprices albeit with subtle lures of the seductive he is master of (remember Eve?) If we play possum and continue to hold our peace, he will continue to enslave as many as he can get a hold of to accomplish his will here on Earth.

Yes! the"Violent" Faith Filled Women are Arising. Yes! The Women after God's Heart, you find them in every sphere of life, no longer are they held bound by limitations the world throws their way. They are Women who have clued in to the devils plan and have chosen to scream at the Top of Their Lungs "NOT SO!" choosing instead to commit to ARISE! and begin to influence the World in a way they have never done before!

TODAY is a Good Time as any to be a Woman, not because of the mounds of Fleshy protrusions that send even the toughest, most powerful of men to lose their senses, but because we are built to endure.

Earth.  What we do TODAY will dramatically affect our future.  It is a new season for women, as the Lord is beginning to call forth Us as TODAY women for His purpose.  TODAY is the time for women to ARISE!.

HE CALLS US TODAY BECAUSE WE ARE TRIED AND OUR ENDURANCE LEVELS HAVE BEEN TESTED

We Endure and Overcome the pain of Childbirth.

We Endure and Overcome the pain of broken homes and if it pleases God and there is a reconciliation we go on as if it never happened.

We Endure raising Children alone when Divorce is the only option, yet so many don't lose their love affair with Jesus.

We Endure and Overcome sexism in situations were our cerebral prowess is doubted and we opt the ante by throwing a curve ball.

We Endure and Overcome sexism in Faith environments yet we stand as we slowly work out our Salvation.

TODAY is indeed a good time to be a woman because now we understand that SUBMISSION to our spouses isn't Malicious Obedience to patently stupid instructions from a Superior, but because The Lord expects it; rather we now understand it as an act of willingly yielding to your man (he's the Boss after all) yet  Leaving him to do right by the home while you enter into your closet To present it to "his Boss" above.

TODAY is indeed the best of times to be a Woman of Faith, 

for this is the time of establishing godly women with an authority and a sphere of influence that will revolutionise the home, spheres of contact and ultimately transform society.

TODAY is the time for our PASSION to burn within us like Fire in our bones  from whence berth the positive changes Society is in need of. WE HAVE THE POWER TO CONCEIVE THAT NO MAN HAS.

Listening to Pharell Williams being interviewed by Oprah last week, he posited that to shut down the economy, women simply have to stop showing up for work and stop going home....I had a belly laugh, because if that isn't a total break down, then what is?

Whether we like it or not the days are evidently pregnant.....On many levels supernatural conception has taken place and very soon the time to bring forth will be at hand. By nature all women already understand and so many are on the verge of experiencing conception and are known to travail better than men in the throes of Pain.

It's not all bad news Sister, because despite the enemy's efforts to oppress and seduce women, something is happening: 

I strongly believe though, that this is a time and season when God is preparing women leaders and spiritual mothers who will step up and enter into authority according to His perfect plan, His order and His timing.  These are the women who will change the course of the world. 

It is no surprise that Female Faith gatherings are sprouting up at an alarming rate. It is a pointer to the fact that GOD IS CALLING FOR THE TODAY WOMEN

The Deborahs that will judge a Nation with the Fear of God.

The Sarahs that will conceive in Faith and bring forth HIS planned Purpose because they honour their men.

The Jaels poised to slay the Siseras that trouble our Peace

The Rahabs  who would no longer be held back by the past they have turned their backs on.

The Nameless Woman by the well who ran to Spread the Good News

The Nameless Wise Woman in (2 Sam. 20:16,17) whose wisdom and influence prevented the destruction of an entire city.

The Lydias who would give of their substance for Kingdom works 

The Mary's that readily break their alabaster box passionately  shedding tears as 100k mascara runs down their cheeks running through the trenches of 250k pressed powders yet not giving a hoot because they know The MASTER is worth every tear.

The Esthers who don't fear for their life in their quest to deliver the People

* Women who have been disciplined and prepared 

* Women who have faith and boldness to overthrow an enemy bent on     

   destruction.

* Hitherto unknown women who are filled with faith and who carry the    

   Word of God in their mouths. 

TODAY HE IS SAYING "ARISE O WOMEN OF FAITH"...,,and transform your families, cities and nations!

*  Women ARISE! and Initiate A New Thing in the Place of Prayer and supplication and manifest the authority that is yours. Mary, the mother of Jesus on the wedding in Cana of Galilee was able to get him to perform a miracle  even his time to manifest hadn't come. The revelation of his Glory was initiated by a woman 

TODAY, God is calling on women to initiate HIS next move on Earth.  We are charged to have this mind-set about us even though society may not see it this way. BUT TODAY IS THE DAY

TODAY Women are mindful of the times and seasons and recognises faith has a. voice and wisdom that can produce change.  

TODAY Women Conceive the New Thing

TODAY Women WILL ARISE to announce the New thing

TODAY Women will have her passion rekindled with the fire from above for Passion for Christ to blossom within us?

TODAY Women are on the verge of one of the greatest women's movements ever.  This new movement will not be perverted, and it will not be out of sync with God's purpose and timing.  It won't be conceived by the flesh, and the enemy won't motivate it.  The Lord is raising up passionate women who are filled with faith and who are about to conceive this new thing.

*TODAY Women knows this is the time for change.  And if we move in God's perfect timing, we will secure our future.  Why is this important?   Because if women begin to rise up as TODAY women and begin to pray in accordance with what God is doing, we will begin to see these things manifest.

HALLELUJAH, 

*TODAY Women Need to Be Patient for the Next Move of God

*TODAY Women and I say it with all sense of humility, are usually more  intuitive than men to what is going on around us.  

*TODAY Woman can never think she knows more than Jesus. Sadly

So many times, we think we know more than Jesus, and TODAY we are being cautioned. (Martha at the tomb of Lazarus)

This is a time of awakening for the women of God's people is NOW. It is a call of action;Such calls to action are usually accompanied by urgency and intensity, as seen in the empathic repetition "wake up, wake up!" (Judges 5:12; cf. Isa. 52:1).9

TODAY is the time for Women to become properly Align and Positioned to take over the world by winning on our knees.

Men should position themselves to recieve the women of TODAY in a partnership that will be In Itself a blessing . They should recognise how great a role women play in the course of society and in the course of God's inheritance

Women, ARISE! 

I hope to see you at the biannual Edition of When Women  Pray  International Prayer Conference abuja on the 4th October 2o14 ai International conference Center Abuja @  9.00am prompt.

Stay Rooted
