Ministering among ladies
praise God for His mercies in my journey this period. He has been graciously answering your prayers as we lead people to make gospel impact in this generation and beyond. Whenever I think of you, my heart goes out in praise to God for your generosity and prayers. Your prayers, gifts and concern has kept us going. May the Lord make all grace abound to you in Jesus name. Amen!
To start with, one of the things I had struggled with as a lady was understanding my role biblically as a woman. A careful study of Titus 2, has given me an insight on this.
“Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanders or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women… so that no one will malign the word of God”, Titus 2:3-5.
It has become clear to me what God wants me to do as a lady.
First, I must become reverent in the way I live, grow in passion to know, love and become like Jesus.
Secondly, I must train younger women to do same, so that the word of God is revered amongst the outsiders.
This was our motivation when we invited 14 ladies, for a timeout last week Tuesday. We wanted to have them as life long friends, come alongside them as they journey through life.We hope to teach, train and instruct them so that they become oaks of righteousness advancing the kingdom of Jesus into the nations.
Please, pray that they will be faithful, available, teachable and grow in their passion to know love and become like Jesus.
Additionally, I met with a young girl last week who told me she doesn’t believe in anything.
I was surprise because she participated and shared great insight about the Samaritan woman during our Bible study on John 4.
Sensing she should have a church background, I invited her to investigate who Jesus is, in the book of John, which she agreed.
Please, pray Acts 26:18 for her that:
1. God will open her eyes and turn her from darkness to light
2. God will turn her from the power of Satan to Himself
3. She will receive Christ and believe in Him
Pray also, that:
1. I’ll be able to lead and direct her to discover Jesus from the Scriptures.
2. I’ll not only share the gospel but my life as well.
Thank You so much for praying.
