Written

Humble,
loving, kind
She
sits at the feet of Jesus
Godly,
she fears the Lord
Resourceful,
her hands work diligently
Obediently,
she submits in love and the fear of God
Selfless,
she prepares to meet the King
Boldly,
she requests deliverance for her people
Prayerful,
she fasts and intercedes
Spending
quality time with God
Fearless,
fully trusting God for victory
She
calls the men of war to rise up against oppression
She
leads a nation to war
Wise,
cautious, she kills the oppressor of her people
Feeding him milk which makes him slumber
Sound asleep, she drives the tent peg in his head
and ends his oppression of her people
Strategic, tactful, she places Moses in a basket
Moses is saved from Pharaoh’s claws
Raised in Pharaoh’s palace
The audacious woman of Samaria
Boldly,
courageously, she converses with Jesus
Speaking
the truth about her past
Letting
go of the negative past
To
take on the glorious future
She
shares that future with her people
A
city turns to Christ in a day
Because
a woman hitherto disrespected finds the glorious future
And
counsels her people to buy into that future
Her
boldness and courage speaks volumes of
Wise
women who build nations
Despite
being confined to the positions of water fetchers and carriers in cities and
communities
The wise woman of Abel of Beth Maachah,
Her wise counsel saved the community from
destruction by Joab.
Providing support for kingdom work
They ministered of their resources to Jesus
She supported the Apostle Paul
She sacrificed their last meal for the Prophet and
stopped famine in her household
She made clothes for the widows and the poor
They gave their gold, silver and bronze as well as
their skills, expertise, and time for the building of the tabernacle – Luke

Divine Visitation for Healing the Nations
Written by Uyoyou Christiana
Charles-Iyoha
When God visits His people, it is
usually for the purpose of blessing them; meeting their needs; fulfilling His
unfailing promises to them;; enlarging their coasts; giving them joy for ashes;
removing shame and reproach from their lives; and raising them from the dust
and ash heap positions of life in order to sit them with royalty.
Beloved, God is good; He is kind;
He is rich in mercy, love and compassion. When He visited Sarah, the wife of
Abraham in Genesis Chapter 21 verses 1 to 3, it was to fulfill His promise to
them that Sarah would bear a son. Though Sarah was old, she conceived and bore
Abraham a son, Isaac. Isaac means laughter, implying that God had given Sarah
and Abraham laughter in their old age and significantly, they did not stop
laughing until their time on planet earth was up. They laughed loud and
longest; more than those who probably laughed at them in the past because they
did not have their own biological children then.
God visits His people to bring
joy, laughter and happiness in order to remove anguish from their hearts and
tears from their eyes. Hannah, the mother of Samuel suffered untold mental abuse
at the hands of Peninah simply because she did not have children. But all of
that came to an end when Hannah rededicated her life to God and asked God for a
son. The Bible records that Hannah remembered her vow and fulfilled it
immediately by returning Samuel to God. God was pleased and visited Hannah. She
bore three sons two daughters and significantly, only Hannah’s children are
recorded in the genealogy of Elkanah. Please read 1st Samuel
Chapters 1 and 2 for details.
The Bible also records that God
visits His people to bless them with abundant bread so that famine is
eliminated from the land. Elimelech and Naomi and their two sons left Bethlehem
for Moab because there was a famine in Judah. Unfortunately, Elimelech and his
two sons died in Moab. Bereft of her husband and her two sons, Naomi chose to
return to Bethlehem when she heard that God had visited His people and given
them bread. Please read Ruth Chapter 1 verses 1 to 6.
God also visited the widow of
Nain and removed tears and anguish and sorrow from her life. He raised her dead
son who was about to be buried back to life and the people acknowledged and
proclaimed that God had visited His people. Please read Luke Chapter 7 verses
11 to 17.
