DEEP TALK- With Mommy Sophi

From statistics on the Internet, men are more on social media than women.

So i've been thinking, why are there many men on social media, and many women in church than men.?

It's easy for a woman to submit to you. Her name is the submissive one. But, difficult when you are not the gracious one towards her.

A woman can give you her salary but can you keep your words or promises?

~ Mommy Sophi

To my ladies, don't withhold money from your spouse when you have the capacity to assist him especially when he is down and you know.

Good News!

Ladies Evening tonight @6:00 PM. It will be a very blessed time of fellowship and edification for all ladies.

Don't miss it. Kindly share this with friends and invite other ladies with you.

Become the woman God can trust!

See you there!

Praying for your spouse is better than the too much talk. What your words can't do, your prayer certainly will.

If you love your spouse invest in them.

Wives, your husband should confidently find you trustworthy. You should be his safe place. Don't be the reason he can't open up to you.

Some women talk too much. That secret he told you, you couldn't wait to say it when you had a small dispute. The projects you both spoke about it hasn't even began, yet almost everyone around you is informed. The budget he gave you, you are unable to give an account.

When there is no trust, he cannot entrust.

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.(Proverbs 31:11).

May this help us women.

Wives, your first responsibility is towards your husband.

To the wife, see the complains of your husband as a way of improving you and making you the woman he wants you to be. If he is doing it out of love, then yeild to corrections and get better.

It may be coming over and over again. You may not like it. But with an open and a teacheable spirit seek to get better.
Don't forget you are the first beneficiary of good changes.

.

Happy Women's Day to all the women.
Be confident, be strong, continue walking in the fear of God that's your treasure.

Enjoy your day today and always.
You are loved by God.

THE GODLY WOMAN

~ 7 Key Qualities of a Godly Woman We can learn from the Bible

The godly woman isn't the perfect woman; no. The godly woman is the one whose heart is accessible by God and who seeks to live for the Lord and for Him alone.

1) The Godly Woman is Graciously Repentant

The woman called a sinner! Ever read that story?

"And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, And stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe [them] with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the ointment" (Luke 7:37-38).

Don't lose that good heart of yours which easily yields to God. Her repentance earned her a section in the Bible as a reference of one whose repentance turned things around. It's not about your past but your encounter with Jesus. That is what gives your place in destiny and separates you from your ugly yesterday. Your ability to easily repent has made more women to come to the Lord than the men. Consequently, God is using the women in extraordinary ways. Stay woman! That's godliness.

2) The Godly Woman is Sacrificial

The godly woman can go the extra mile for the Lord. In fact, a woman has something within her which enables her take uncommon sacrifices towards God. Ever heard of Anna? What sacrifice!

"And she [was] a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and prayers night and day" (Luke 2:37).

Some other woman would have gone after the pleasures of youth. Not Anna the prophetess. She gave up her youthful pleasures to give in herself to fasting and prayers, serving the Lord day and night. These are the prayers that paved the way for the Messiah. Think about it. Woman, your sacrificial quality makes a huge difference. Don’t lose it!

3) The Godly Woman is Service-oriented

Did you ever know there were women responsible for ministering to the needs of Jesus? Oh yes!

"There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; (Who also, when he was in Galilee, FOLLOWED HIM, AND MINISTERED UNTO HIM;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem" (Mark 15:40-41).

They followed until the cross, looking for opportunities to serve the Lord. The godly woman is service-oriented. She doesn’t stand idle; she loves and serves the Lord. Think about it. What a way these women were described; _"...followed Him and ministered unto Him..."_ That's the godly woman. Find your place in God, in His Kingdom, in the Church, in your family, in the Society, and keep serving.

4) The Godly Woman is Diligent

The godly woman doesn’t go about looking for which man will supply her needs; no. The godly woman is diligent in getting "her own bread" by her labour. The godly woman isn't a lazy woman.

"She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness" (Proverbs 31:27).

Read the whole chapter on the virtuous woman. Only ungodly women eat the "bread of idleness"; these are lazy women whose hands don't know how to work; they go about looking for free food. Not so with the godly woman. The godly woman hates "the bread of idleness." She's diligent!

5) The Godly Woman is Persistent

Another woman would have become offended and given up. But not this woman. She needed healing for her daughter and believed that God was able. Even after being told children's bread aren't given to dogs, she replied saying,

"... Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table" (Matthew 15:27).

What a reply! She went back with what she came for. Her faith amazed Jesus. He called it "great faith." The godly woman understands this persistence as a necessary strength to getting things done. She'll accept the same but save her cause.

A godly woman doesn’t give up too soon or quickly takes offense on the right path; no. Don't be quick to accept defeat and bow out the ring. Go for it; keep going until you get it right. This woman wasn't ready for a no; she wasn't going home with her pride and a sick child. She was going home with humility and a healed child. Persist; even at the place of prayer. Persist in that vision, business, career, etc. See Luke 18.

6) The Godly Woman Brings Peace.

Something about the godly woman enables her to bring peace where anger is boiling up. Her wise and gentle approach is her strength. David would have killed Nabal the husband of Abigail, had she not intervened wisely and turned away the wrath in David.

"And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground..." (1 Samuel 25:23).

Read the inspiring story. Be it at home, on the street, in the office, at the market place, etc. When the godly woman steps in, peace will reign. It's only the ungodly woman that pours kerosene on fire. When the foolishness of men is awakened, the wisdom of the godly woman saves the day. This is the kind of woman God has called you to be.

7) The Godly Woman is Sensitive to Spiritual things

Even the disciples of Jesus didn't understand what Mary did towards Jesus. It is said,

"Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment" (John 12:3).

Judas in his wickedness and foolishness almost stopped her. He wanted to apply worldly wisdom by prioritizing worldly things. He called what Mary did "a waste." But Jesus rebuked him saying,

"... Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this" (John 12:7).

The twelve disciples didn't grasp this matter. For His burial she did that? A certain disposition of Mary's heart enabled her to be sensitive to this necessary sacrifice that Jesus commended. That's a godly woman. The godly woman prioritizes the Lord; she's generous towards the Lord.

Today, as we celebrate Women's Day, kindly let the lifestyle of godly women inspire you. You mean a lot to this world. The men are not complete without you, just as you aren't complete without the men. Knowing your strength and uniqueness will always keep you proud in life and serving God confidently.

Never forget this: Only in Christ is found the true fulfilment of life. In loving God genuinely, you'll always enjoy the beauty of life.

Happy Women's Day to all our precious godly women.

We the men love you today and always.

TAKE TIME TO MARRY!

TAKE TIME TO MARRY

Let your marriage draw you closer to God and motivate your commitment to His purpose. Marriage is a true bliss when the couple are committed to the same spiritual course and life goals. Marriage should bring into you a stronger confidence you will fulfill your purpose in Christ, not otherwise. Journeying with God together makes for the greatest beauty of marriage. That's why you must choose your spouse wisely, and establish the right motive for being married.

Marriage opens a new chapter for everyone involved; beautiful or ugly. No one gets married and remains the same. You either get better or grow worst from your initial state. Bringing someone else into your life or cleaving your life to someone else is not a playful thing; it demands a very conscious sit down to think and count the cost.

There's more to marriage than the emotions, the looks, the rings, and status change. Marriage is far bigger than that. It's bigger than having s*x and bringing forth children. Marriage is the beginning of an amplified or new direction in destiny; it can lead you speedily into heaven or into hell. It can be the beginning of days of joy or sorrow. Some people had their best laugh at the wedding day; since then, its been a whole different world of pain and sorrow. To others, the laughter at the wedding day was just the beginning of a series of laughter and joy. That's why you must take time to choose your partner, because life will take on a new turn after that.

First, take time to establish yourself in Christ and to be convinced about what you live for. Don't get married and bring into your agenda your marriage as an urgent prayer topic. God made it for a testimony, based on how you start it. When your life is totally yielded to God, you won't want anything that takes you away from your first lover. And God won't push you into an institution that will torment you and take your attention off Him.

Take time to pray about your life partner; take time to seek godly counsel. Take time to read Christian books on marriage and understand what your responsibilities are. Understand also what the role of your spouse is. And when you start courtship, agree on these things. Agree on your spiritual priorities. Agree that your corporate lives are only as effective as your individual commitment to live for the Lord God and to fulfill His will. Agree that both of you won't live for self but for the Lord.

Such simple advice saves destinies. If we had just as much respect and patience in preparing for marriage as we did for our academic pursuits, we do have more blissful marriages, truly glorifying God.
