Woman as a leader part 3

                       Woman As a Leader (Deborah and Esther as a case study )  part 3

In the book of judges 5:6-8, Deborah chose to arose and take the responsibility of leading the children of Israel. She saw the breakdown in the lifestyle, faith and purpose of God in Israel in her time and took up the responsibility of being the middle person, the channel in which God can implement changes in her generation.

No matter the kind of evil you think you have seen or seeing in the generation, it’s not new under the sun. its has happened before and  someone at that time took it upon herself to inspire and implement change

.

Deborah arose up a mother in Israel

.

The bible talks about it in the book of judges 4:4 that Deborah was a wife and also a prophetess but despite her busy life and career, she still put to use the gifting and talents that God has placed inside of her for a time as that.

                Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, judged Israel at that time 

                                                                                                                                           judges 4:4                          

How are you putting to use in God’s kingdom those connections, gifting, resources, abilities and talents despite your busy life or career.

God gave you all of these things for a reason, which is the establishment of his kingdom (plans and purpose) on earth. (Matthew 6:33)

Also in the book of Esther 4:13-17 and also in chapter 5:1-3

We saw how Esther took it upon herself to intercede and fight for the survival and restoration of her generation.

I said” fight” because it is a battle left too long alone by Christian women which must be actively and aggressively fought in this generation.

Esther had to actively get involved and aggressively fight the evil against her generation for her to get tangible result

.

You have discussed it enough, you have complained about it enough and you have looked and analyze it enough Now! Its time to arise like Esther and Deborah to fight, intercede and to lead this generation for the purpose of God to be established in your generation.

You as an older Christian woman, how are you impacting the lives of the younger generation of women God has placed on your path and all around you?

We are at a time in the world where selfishness and self centeredness has abounded. Where the younger generation cannot see the foot print or good example of whom to follow and this has really affect the generation women both younger and older in the Christian community and which in turn has affected the body of Christ

.

You as an older woman must know that there is an instruction and commandment for you in the bible in the book of Titus 2:3-5 to mentor and lead the younger generation women.

³ Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. ⁴ Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, ⁵ to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. Titus 2:3-5

According to God’s plan and purpose, older women in faith are” suppose to” position themselves to lead or mentor these younger generation in the things and ways of God.

As an older woman of faith, what kind of examples or standards are you setting?

If any fault or evil is seen in the younger generation then it’s your fault.

You as a woman of faith is not suppose to complain about it but start taking tangible steps to correct it.

There is something placed inside of you that is meant to solve that problem and that’s why you are noticing it. Problems that annoy or trigger you off are meant for you to solve.

Maybe you are here for a time like this!

You might say “I don’t have the necessary resources, qualifications or connections to make a change in that area” Well! That might be true but you have a gift from God that can be maximize to bring about the solution to that challenge and that is your ability or privilege to talk to God about it.

Sister! You can and need to start talking to God about those things that you are noticing in your society, generation and the world around you to be able to bring about changes.

Enough of pointing of fingers or complaining, it’s time to create that change in the place of prayer and in speaking the word of God over those situations.

It’s time for you as a Christian woman to take charge of these situations and chase the devil out of them.

It’s time to start rebuilding the ruins of the foundation of the younger generation.

It’s time to stoop to conquer.

Woman you are more than this!
