FIRST GOD … THEN WOMEN - Madelein Mkunu (100 books to read in a lifetime txt) 📗

We, women of the 21st century are of views that because the world does not recognise our rights, we need to organise ourselves and take our rights in our own hands. While doing so, we need acknowledge that from the beginning, God already had a wonderful plan for women’s empowerment. Besides giving birth and caring for humanity, God had put a woman at the center of his own heart. He wants us to live with confidence and in victory knowing that he loves us and wants to honor us in every possible way. Like Mary, our first call of duty is to sit at his feet to learn his wisdom, plan and purpose for our lives. Once we have understood his divine plan for our lives as women, he encourages us to walk in sanctification and abide in his instructions so not to give the enemy an opportunity to hold us captive. Once we are standing right with him, we need to own our rights, and take our rightful place in the society.

Women have a special place in God’s heart as He positions us to be an integral part of his plan for human kind. More than ever, He is appealing to women to "arise and shine” Isaiah 60:1.

While we all expect change to happen around the world, it is critical to understand that change must start with “me”. Your family and community need a role model and you can be the very agent of change they long to see.

Like Deborah, rise like a “Mother” your family and community want to see

Like the virtuous woman, be the businesswoman who deals with integrity and ethics

Like Ester, be bold to do the unthinkable for the benefit of others

Like Sarah be the home executive that honors her husband and calls him “master”

Like Dorcas, sacrifice some of your wealth to share with those less privileged than you

From the market place to the pulpit, God’s call is upon all of us to influence godly the world. God is looking for accountants, lawyers, engineers, teachers, scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, home executives… so he can strategically place them in key influential positions so they can impact their world. If you have one or more of the above qualifications and more, He could be looking for you. All it will take is to say “Here I am, use me!”
