Women in Nation Building

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

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 celebrates Mother’s Day on Sunday, 11^th March 2018..

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.

Clean and Safe Cities Initiative 1

Prevailing By The Spirit - Prayer Alert Vol. 2 No 1, 2016

The will of God for His people is to have and live in clean and safe cities. It is also His desire that people take on the responsibility to be clean in their spirits, souls and bodies as well as their environments. That is why He instructs on clean environments in Deuteronomy Chapter 23 verses 12 to 14. Severally, in the book of Leviticus, God talks about washing to rid the body, clothes, homes and other implements of uncleanness and filth. This is to say that God abhors filth, in point of fact, any form of filth.

Filth varies from spiritual to mental and physical. Spiritual filth occurs in the spirit and is characterized by spiritual pollution such as idolatry and its extremities including the sustained practice of sorcery, divination and witchcraft that leads to demonic infestation and possession and of course control to do the bidding of demons. It takes the grace and wisdom as well as the power of God to be free of such filth.

Mental filth characterized by salacious mental processes that manifest in pornography,  voyeurism, masturbation, projecting ill will against other people, bitterness, resentment, envy and jealousy.
