Where are the woman of God?

Praise the Lord! I pray everyone has been blessed since my last post. I did not mean for this much time to go by since my last posting but life being what it is things happen. It has been almost three weeks since God lessened my pain and I think I'm finally truly believing it. My legs are getting stronger everyday as I can now walk around now and my pain is manageable now. After spending the last eleven months mostly in severe pain it has taken me some time for me to push myself to become more active. Sometimes we pray and pray for something and finally God gives it to us and then we have trouble believing He did it. God forgive my unbelief

I'd like to share with you today the follow up to "Where are the men of God" "Where are the woman of God?" I hope you will be blessed.


 

 Proverbs 31:10           10) “Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.”


If you walk into just about any church in America these days you might say “this place is full of virtuous women, Look, they are everywhere!” In most church’s today woman far out number men, even with the men’s ministries like “Promise Keepers” and T. D. Jakes “Man Power” series and other ministries designed to attract men woman still out number men in the church. They are everywhere, on the Deacon board, on the usher board and the executive board. They teach Sunday school, sing in the choir and sit next to you in church pews all over this country, but are they real women of God or are they just doing what they’re “supposed” to do, what’s “expected” of them. After all they were dragged to church every Sunday as children by their mothers who where dragged by their mothers and so on and so on. It has become a tradition, a tradition that most women carry on out of a sense of duty. On the out side it looks commendable, but on the inside their hearts are far from God. They have secret agendas like getting a husband or gaining power and respect in the church and the community, what ever the reason living holy and serving God has little to do with why they go to church. 2nd Timothy 3:6 talks about false teachers and “weak willed woman who are loaded down by sin and swayed by all kinds of evil desires.” I believe Apostle Paul was not talking about just non-believers here but believers also. They are wolves in sheep clothing. They infiltrate the flock and feed on those who are also weak and unable to stand against the wiles of the enemy. They sow seeds of discord among the brothren through gossip and back biting while all the time appearing to be devout members of the congregation. In a lot of cases they are hard working members, belonging to all the right clubs and church committees but they are just religious woman, just functioning out of habit who have long since lost sight of Jesus. 

“Who can find a virtuous woman?” The writer of proverbs asks, yes where are the woman of God? They are right there in those same churches except they have not lost their way, they have stayed on course, refusing to fall for the tricks of the enemy. In these last days many men and woman will come and lead many astray but the true woman and men of God are still holding on to His unchanging hand. Though they labor hard they have not lost sight of the reason for their labor, Jesus Christ! You Woman who are living all you know how to live in Christ, remain steadfast and immoveable, do not get caught up in your works as some are want to do. Serve God with all your soul, heart, mind and strength and let the light of Christ shine through you so that others may see it and glorify God. Then they will know where the woman of God is. God bless you all.
