Virtuous

"A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that makes ashamed is as rottenness in his bones." Proverbs 12:4


A virtuous woman possesses at least three qualities: faith, hope and love. These qualities are seen by everyone and this makes her husband proud of her. However, a foolish woman is like a jewel in the snout of a pig and she is her husband's shame.

Wise

"The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down." Proverbs 14:1

The one who has the power to create children also has the power to build her family. It is a glorious task for a wise woman.

Despite his strength, the man does not give birth to children; neither does he have the ability to create them. Only the woman has this power. However, it is the wise woman that creates and builds. The foolish one creates but destroys. For this reason, when a man seeks and finds this wise woman, he has found the favour of God.

Neighbour

A person with a heart full of love and the desire to evangelise on the street and at work must do so freely. The work of faith must also be moved by faith; this is the example the Lord Jesus left for us.

I think this is a beautiful work and I would love to go out every Saturday and Sunday with those who spread the Good News and give their testimony.

However, for those of you who have no time (because of work or household duties), there are other ways of being used. Intercession for the lost through prayer and fasting, faithfulness in tithes and offerings and the purchasing of evangelistic materials such as church newspapers, magazines and books (so that they can be available for those who go out to evangelise) are a few ways.

Fear

"For all those things has my hand made, and all those things have been, said the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word." Isaiah 66:2


In this world many go through pain, suffering and injustice; their spirit is downcast, humiliated and broken and they are sinking to the bottom of the pit. The sorrowful life that they lead causes them to look up and shout for help. It is then that they see God's tender gaze and His Hands outstretched, ready to rescue them. 


Then, after showing them His love and pulling them out of their agony, He only requires one thing from them: to keep His Word and His Discipline. If they refuse to abide by this obedience then God will no longer protect their lives.

God's Dwelling Place

Thus says the Lord: "Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool: where then is a house you could build for me? And where is a place that I may rest?" Isaiah 66:1

The Holy Spirit came to guide us and also to be our necessary strength during tribulation. When we are filled with the Spirit of Jesus, we have the capacity to face any situation that arises.


We were built to be His dwelling place: He wants to walk with our feet, hear with our ears and speak to and console people with our mouth. 


This verse (besides revealing the GREATNESS OF GOD), explains that we are His feet here on Earth; to reach those who are lost through their vices and sin.

Wedding Invitation

"May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you and your children." Psalm 115:14

These were the words we chose for our wedding invitation. I knew that God was guiding my life, as He had asked just that. At the time I didn't realise what He was trying to show me. 


After many years I found the invitation in a drawer and then the voice of the Holy Spirit spoke clearly to my heart:
"I will unite you both so that you may have many spiritual children, with My Blessing."

Wonders

"Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders which you have done; and your thoughts toward us; there is none to compare to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they would be too numerous to count." Psalm 40:5

Facts that display the magnitude of my King Jesus...
