Women are said to be the central nerve of the community, they are the 90% determinant of the society's character..
In the Bible most of the figures mentioned have been men, only few women have been recognized as icons or figures who presented something...
Today as i reviewed the stories told about these Bible icons on the side of women, was pleased with these 3 Icons...
Mary Magdalene,, she was known to be a prositute, and as the society even today women doing this or even just a woman having more than one man is regarded to be a great sinner, unclean and even people dont want to be seen with them publically..,
Mary was privileged to be visited by Jesus at her home and what she did was to leave everything, go to Jesus bow down at his feet,washed em with her tears,dried em with her hair and perfumed em with the most expensive perfume....Yes this lady recognized her weakness, and worked toward to get salvation,.She did not fear of how Jesus might have reacted on her,especially for a sinner like her...
What i learned from her is "never judge before you face anyone, Fear not when In the presence of God, No matter how sinful you are, there is always a room for salvation for you,,God does not push away sinners...
Hannah!!! She was married at a young age and unfortunately to a polygamy man who had another wife..She lived many years without concieving, she was thought to be barren...Hannah turned her sorrows to God and she never ceased praying and being the good woman despite of the scoldings and the bad words in the community about her...Furthermore when God blessed her with a son "Samuel" she kept her promise of letting her son work for God...
Lesson learned"always stand still while waiting for God's answer,Pray until something happens(PUSH),, learn to keep promises"
The nameless woman who had been sick for many years touched Jesus hem and she was healed....
lesson learned"have faith in God, Faith is believing before you see,,Courage is what i see in her too...
This left me with questions like, am i good enough for my name to be one day written in the Bible as one of the woman used by God to present something on the society??or if not what is my record like right now in heaven?what about the society that surrounds me what do they see when they look at me?...
We women, should learn to appreciate the fact that we were created to be women, we should embrace our responsibility and be ready to do it accurately....
happy Sabbath..
Smiles..
