Godly Woman – Proverb 31: 10-31

The top four outstanding qualities of a Godly woman: Godly Woman – Proverb 31: 10-31

Commitment / Loyalty

Industrious / Diligent

Charity / Love

Beautiful speech /  Wise and kind words

A godly woman has an excellent spirit of devotion and the essence of excellence. She is honorable, faithful, pure, upright before God, family, and others, trustworthy, capable, intelligent, diligent, generous, and kind. She works with her hands and provides food for her household. The Holy Spirit controls the tongue and gives a beautiful speech, which spills from the Holy Spirit-filled hearts. The Bible says in Proverbs 11:13, A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret. A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1. The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 12:18. 

Let us train our eyes to see well, tongue to speak well, and ears to hear well. Do not allow them to wander to their will and wish, making us miserably fail and fall. Make Bible reading, meditation, prayer time, and witness-full life inseparable habits; they are the four pillars for a strong Christ Jesus-centered Spiritual life. 

Refrain from evil things because, behind every evil thing, only the evil-doer devil will be there! 

Looks don’t last; Character does. Superficial attractions may prove inadequate in the long run. 

Through Christ Jesus we are overcomers

Dear all,
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Ephesians1: 3
Word:  “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV)

Thought: Look up to Jesus When we look at the world around us it’s so discouraging. Wherever and whatever we see are filled with chaos and confusion. Today you might be facing a discouraging situation that is holding you up from moving on. Leave the situation in the hands of the Lord and cling to the promise the Lord gave to Joshua as your promise. We pray that you will be like the singing little bird sitting peacefully on top of the tree amidst the roaring storm. Look up to Jesus; He will give you the strength to overcome any raging storm you are facing. Through Christ Jesus we are overcomers.

Not Loving the World

Dear all, 

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. Gal1: 3-5

Word: On Not Loving the World I John 2: 15-17 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

Thought: The more we are captivated by this world and its attractions, the harder it will be to seek God. The best way to avoid entanglement with worldly values is to “feed” our spirits by seeking God through Christ-centered prayers and meditation on His Word. 

Have you ever considered how one generation carries the Gospel of Christ Jesus to the next generation? Have you ever wondered what would happen to the Gospel of Christ Jesus if one generation failed to pass it on?
Our role is to think biblically and live accordingly!

Do not give the devil a foothold!

Dear all,

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Word: For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. Hosea 6: 6 

Thought:  The way we treat others, act kindly towards others, and forgive those who have hurt us proves that we are growing in spiritual maturity. When our worship is sincere, it will always be manifested in our compassion for others.
Memory verse: Ephesians 4: 27 – Do not give the devil a foothold! 

What is God’s purpose on Earth?

Dear all,

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13

Word: Gen 1: 27 says “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”

Thought: What is God’s purpose on Earth?

We are God’s image bearers. We are the aroma of Christ Jesus wherever he leads us. When we hold God’s hand we might leave it, but if He holds our hand He will not leave. This is the successful history of our forefathers those who walked humbly with Him on this Earth.

Pass the Legacy On to the upcoming generations! 

Run with Endurance

Dear all,

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Word:

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV)

Thought: As a disciple of Christ we are running toward our Heavenly reward. To live effectively, we must keep our eyes on Christ Jesus. Run in such a way to get the prize and run with the purpose in every step. We must have a purpose and a plan (1 Cor 9: 24-27). The essential disciplines of prayer, Bible study, and worship equip us to run with vigor and stamina.

Train diligently – Spiritual progress depends upon it.

Ambassadors of Christ Jesus! 

Dear all,
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
Word: Ministry of Reconciliation
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us. so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.       2 Corinthians 5:18-21 (NIV)

Thought: We are called to be ambassadors for Christ Jesus and His Kingdom. An ambassador is an official representative of one country to another. As believers, we are Christ’s ambassadors, sent with the message of redemption in Christ Jesus to the World.

In what ways we are fulfilling our call?

Remember your call and we are the ambassadors of Christ Jesus! 

The Role of the Holy Bible in Biblical and Spiritual Transformation

Dear all,         

May God give you more and more grace and peace. 1 Peter 1:2        

Word: “The Role of the Holy Bible in Biblical and Spiritual Transformation”

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Tim 3: 16 – 17

Thought:

God wants to show us what is true and equip us to live for Him. Let us read the word of God regularly to discover God’s truth and to become confident in Christ Jesus. When we have confidence in Christ Jesus, we will see the world from God’s perspective. Moreover, we will be looking at life and legacy through the eyes of the LORD Jesus Christ with love, compassion, vision, and kindness. 

Sin will keep you from God’s word – God’s word will keep you from sin! 

Stand firm in Christ

Gift of God and Faithful Stewardship

Dear all,

Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10

Living for God:

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.  If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. I Peter 4: 10-11

Thought: God has given us special and unique abilities. We are called to use these gifts for God’s glory, permitting his generosity to flow through us.  When we are careful to focus on God’s glory, we can make a significant difference wherever God placed us!

In Christ, we have everything we need for salvation and for living the Christian life. Thank God for what we have received in Christ Jesus.

Faith in Action

Dear all,

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16: 13 -14.

Word: Faith in Action

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Hebrews 11: 1-3

Thought: Faith involves trust that God is working in the unseen spiritual realm, based upon God’s past actions in the world. Those who want to lead a vibrant and energetic Christian life have always had to live by such unshakable faith, even in the middle of life’s trials (Hebrews 11). God accomplishes his purposes, great and small through the faith journey of His people. As we trust him with every aspect of our lives, he will accomplish his will for us. In Christ, we have everything we need for salvation and for living the Christian life. Thank God for what we have received in Christ Jesus.
