Calvary greetings to you in the blessed name of Jesus Christ our Saviour, Amen!
A Happy and blessed Mothers’ Day to all the MOTHERS in Jesus’ mighty name! Everybody shout, Amen & Amen!!!!
A CHRISTIAN MOTHER
A Christian mother is the greatest heritage God can give a man.
Motherhood is a partnership with God, and a woman’s first child is the man she loves.
The mother’s heart is the child’s schoolroom and what the mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.
Therefore, educate a man and you will educate an individual but educate a woman and you will educate a family.
“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honour, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:6-7).
Beloved mothers, the good Lord sees what you go through day in and day out.
Your sufferings, heartaches, humiliations and intimidations are before the eyes of your Creator.
Therefore, remember that the trials of your faith work out patience.
The trials of your faith is much more precious than gold that perishes.
Many times, mother’s intentions are misjudged, misunderstood and miscalculated but God knows it all.
- A woman by nature is delicate and as such delightful.
- A woman is precious and to be pampered.
- A woman is fragile and must be handled with care, although they are not brittle or breakable glass.
- A woman is dainty as well as dazzling. They exude from within an aura of sweetness.
- A woman also gives out a savour of gentility, a fragrance of love and a cauldron of compassion.
Some women sparkle like diamonds.
Their smiles could cheer up the gloomy, the blue and the effigy.
Many women are all sweetness and saintliness but so sad to say that some are like fiendish demoniac.
Many women are serene and beautiful both on the inside and outside.
While some choose to make themselves a caricature of the inward beauty and pleasantness for which God had intended for them.
Some women in our generation are directly opposite of what God has planned for them.
So sad also that some women have made themselves to be threats to their families, neighbourhood, community and society.
Children run away from them, neighbours shiver at their sight, husbands who should have cuddled their wives takes cover at the sight of them.
WHAT MAKES WOMEN TO BE EVIL?
Most women turn out to be evil because of the brutal treatments from their husband or father or the men in their lives.
Women turn to wickedness because of silent ill experiences which the majority of them have suffered from the beastly men with whom they fooled around.
Many women have lost the very nature of tenderness, kindness, gentleness and love because of ugly experiences in their rough relationships.
Now some women have become tinderboxes, hard, strong-willed, despiteful, truce breakers, deceitful, implacable, fierce, suspicious, not easily entreated and without natural affections (Romans 1:29-31).
Many women are privileged to be married into rich families but sad to say that there is no peace with them in their riches and glamour.
Some women are trashed down with vulgarity, unbearable words, heart breaking statements with false accusations from arrogant and inconsiderate husbands, in-laws and ungodly relatives.
The strain of their riches and paradise no longer soothes their daily aching nerves.
THE QUESTION MOST WOMEN ASK TODAY
What has gone wrong? What is my sin against my husband that made him leave or long for another woman?
Where did they miss the step? Does it mean the joy, laughter, peace, love, their home symbolises are forever gone?
May the Lord Godbless all the mothers and all the people shout, Amen & Amen!
Remain blessed and rapturable,
Yours to reach this generation with the Gospel,
Dr. Daniel O. C.
