Identity: “Knowing Who You Are, Woman”

W – Warrior

You are birthed with a different dimension and are the weapons of this end time. Called to intercede for your home, situations, families and nations, using strategy and the wisdom of God skillfully against the kingdom of darkness, bringing change around you.

In the book of Jeremiah, the people of Judah and Israel were constantly disobeying God’s commandments and serving other gods. Then it was prophesied by the prophet Jeremiah what will happen to all the people and cities, but chapter 9 verses 17 and 18 tells us, “This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Consider now! Call for the wailing women to come; send for the most skillful of them. Let them come quickly and wail over us till our eyes overflow with tears and water streams from our eyelids.”

O – Overcomer

When sickness or hardships appear, do not allow them to overcome you with fear. Face them with faith, committing yourselves to prayer and the Word of God. See your situations as a stepping stone to your progression and promotion in Christ. The strength that God has placed inside of you will illuminate the power of Christ in your life. Revelation 12: 11 tells us, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

M – Multiplier

You are the incubator, full of light and passion. Your very existence is a threat to the kingdom of darkness. Because of how you were strategically and mysteriously created it has brought confusion to the enemy of your soul. Your very body is created to bring forth many. You are the only creation on earth that has the ability to carry and deliver many at once. You have the incredible power to transform many things at the same time. God has uniquely created you to multitask, manage, do many and be many things all at once and be successful at it. You are a skillful woman in many areas of life. Hebrews 13:6 So we may boldly say “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

A – Anointed

The anointing you carry is so effective, that when you enter a room, your very existence can change the atmosphere, it will be evident that you are different. God has anointed you to know seasons and has given you the keys to unlock and to close seasons. Therefore, be sensitive to the times, that you will know when change is coming for you and also for those around you. Isaiah 61:1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.”

N – Nurturer

In order for a nursing child to be healthy, the mother has to eat the right foods to ensure that the child, to some extent, grows healthy and strong. However, if her daily intakes are filled with more junk than healthy foods, then, there is a possibility that the child can become malnourished. So is the spiritual nurturing woman. She is a receptor of impartations. Spiritually, she has the capacity to nurture her surroundings with good or bad foods. Be careful then what you receive when you associate with others, if you want to be the manufacturer of good spiritual health for yourself, your family and others. Proverbs 3:7 ”Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.”

Genesis 3:15 NLT Version

“And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.”

You are WOMAN!!!

2020 Reflection

A Blessed and Christ-filled Christmas to all and a Spirit dominated New Year.

We have come to the end of what was a year that we greatly anticipated given its numerical significance and promises.

For many we may say that, it did not live up to our expectations; because it did not deliver the material and physical benefits that we all looked forward to. Its pains and uncertainties were more than any of us must have experienced in our lifetimes.

We can all engage our default settings and contribute the state of affairs to the global pandemic, but I want to adjust our focus to the God of the universe who is sovereign and in full control of all things.

There is a true saying that what He does not hinder He allows.

I challenge us therefore, to look through the details of this year and we would see the working of the Hand of God. In our individual lives, the fact that we are listening to this means that we are alive and have either been healed or shielded from the Covid-19. So, we are blessed with life.

Nationally, we can thank God that the devastating effects of the pandemic which has taken many lives were restrained on our nation and region. But most of all, it is a year where God taught us to *Wait* on Him and to *return* to Him in *true service* to others and in worship.

Challenge

Use the momentum from this year to press into 2021, to serve God in a much more committed manner and see the needs of others in a much more concerned way.

Focus

We look forward in great anticipation, knowing that the Faithful God who took us through 2020 will do the same through 2021.

Who Is He To You?

Isaiah 9:6 NKJV tells us:

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

In human nature, it is natural for parents or families to give each child a name. Names are given as a form of identification; the first description given in any case is the child's name. Some names are even given to classify who they are. For example, the Royal Family. In our opening verse the Child was also given names of description and classification, even before physical birth. In carefully reading, those names described His uniqueness and gave light about His Lordship.

Note:

Unlike ordinary names, Power and Authority were added to His names.

Philippians 2:9 NKJV says:

"Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name"

His name is Jesus and He carries over 100 different titles that are fitting for every situation you and I can face as children of God. He is the Bread of life. The King of Kings, our Great Intercessor, He is The Living Word.

So, who is He to You?

• Do you need provision? He is Provider.

• Do you need counsel or Godly wisdom? He is Counsellor.

• Do you need healing? He is Healer. Jesus is your All in all...

Prayer:

Dear Jesus, Your Name is above ever name. Your name has power to heal and deliver. Thank You for this opportunity to call Your name and see great things happen in my life and in the lives of Your people. In Jesus name I pray with thanksgiving. Amen.

Today's Bible Reading:

Luke 1:31-33 NKJV "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
