Women ministry I

John 19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 

Since Adam fell, everything in the world came under a curse. that is why everything dies and rots. The world can even say we are honouring and celebrating women but there is nothing good that can come out of the world because of the fallen nature of Adam. 

But Christ, the second Adam came to redeem everything that fell. He came to restore everything that was in the original plan. In fact not only did He just come to restore, the Bible says in Romans that He has come to do much more. He has not just restored us to the garden of Eden picture. The restored man in Christ is many times more than the Adam whom the devil deceived! 

The world can talk of celebrating women. It can advocate for women emancipation, affirmative action, but all those are just cliché words. Truth is it is only us who received Christ and have the good one in us that can talk of true honoring, or celebrating women. 

As people who know Jesus, we celebrate the women God has given us. Like I said, we the people of God, who got saved, are the ones who are to teach the world what it really means to dedicate a day to honour women.

Sometimes the world puts women down. Unfortunately even the church at times does the same. For instance some women are married to men who put them down, some women are put down at their workplace which should not be so according to scripture for in scripture we see an irreplaceable role the women played in the ministry of Jesus.

I stand to say thank God for the women God has raised in the church in general and those who serve with us in our local church. Our local would not be what it is if the women do not stand in their role. That's why we are cheering you women for the work you do but are also encouraging you to do more for Christ!
