Women are
relevant to God in diverse ways. This is because God also uses women as vessels
of honor in nation building as well as healing the nations. However, for any
woman to be relevant in God’s scheme of affairs, that woman has to be relevant
to God in His own ways and timing. Significantly, you and I can become such
women, vessels in the hands of God for nation building and healing the nations.
How, you may ask? By possibly taking a cue from some of the women of relevance
in the Bible; the women who were strategically positioned to fulfill purpose so
that you and I are relevant in nation building and healing the nations as the world

By being Prayerful
Prophetess Anna
was both prayerful and kingdom minded. After being widowed at an early age,
Prophetess Anna spent her entire life working with God for the manifestation of
God’s plans and purposes for humanity. She did this faithfully for about
seventy years. After setting her eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ, she willingly
departed the earth for greater glories. Please see Luke Chapter 2 verses 36 to
37. Other women who were prayerful and in the process birthed divine destinies
include Hannah the mother of Prophet Samuel, the mother of John Mark whose
house was a house of prayer where constant prayer was made for Peter and he
escaped the death trap of King Herod who killed believers for the fun of it. These
women prayed down God’s plans and purposes. They were not asking God for the
latest designs from the luxury designers of the world; neither were they asking
for luxury homes. They were concerned with the will of God and were praying
down the will of God, warring in the heavenlies against forces opposed to the
will of God for humanity and His saints.
