There is no doubt that the devil
has fought assiduously to destroy womanhood by selling us a lie thereby
distorting God’s original. It is so bad now that women are selling women into
sex slavery, even little girls are used for things too bad to mention. I have
often wondered why the female is the most distorted gender until I was recently
reminded that God Himself created enmity between the woman and the devil in the
scripture below. It all then began to make sense. Satan surely wants to win
that war, and may have been winning for a while; but Christ later won the victory
for us which victory God is set now more than ever before to help us enforce
the victory.
Genesis 3: 15 “And I
will cause hostility between you and the woman”
The devil had almost completely
warped our understanding of who we are; and every generation passes on this defeated
state of mind to the next generation so that even when Christ comes into our
lives, we are unable to alter our mindsets to accept who we truly are. We already
imbibed the concept of womanhood taught us as we grew up which is warped.
Though born again and tongue talking, we carry on like mere women operating much
lower than we ought to. I believe that now more than ever before, there is
urgency for the restoration of God’s original woman for the fulfillment of
God’s purpose.
I believe God has had enough and
has started a massive work of restoration. He is fed up with woman thinking she
can only get what is due her by being manipulative, deceptive and crafty: fed
up with the woman whose life is about gossiping, bickering and all sorts of stupidities
so much so that silliness became synonymous with female specie. This is not
about women’s liberation because a woman in Christ is a liberated woman; for He
whom Christ has set free is free indeed. This is about operating in that
liberty with which we have been set free. It is about living and walking in a
new realm which is far above the curse. We are now seated in heavenly places
with Christ Jesus making us more than conquerors and putting us way above the
level of the devil.
Ephesians 2: 6 “For He
raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with Him in the
heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.”
Woman, in the beginning, was made
a solution to the seeming “defect” God saw in creation. She was what God needed
to ensure that His work was continuously satisfactory and beautiful in His eyes
as He checked daily the work of His hand. Even today, God is looking to us a
solution to the situation on the face of the earth. Institution of marriage and
the family unit are all fast disintegrating, as a result children are going
crazy and the society is totally falling apart. Only as we take our proper
place, shall we be able to make meaningful contributions to God’s ultimate work
of restoration and we can’t do that with distorted ideas of womanhood. I
believe it is for this reason that God is instituting conferences like the
woman Cry out prayer conference and several others all over the world. This is
the reason we are inviting women to the “woman
Cry out prayer conference holding on Saturday 20th October at Best
Western Hotel, Ahmadu Bello opposite Barbeach, Lagos from 9am prompt – 2pm.
Please come and bring your friends too; so that together, we can cry out to
together to do a work of restoration in our lives, families, homes and country.
