It has been a challenging two weeks and I have tried to preach very quickly to cram in multiple sermons worth of materials into a short amount of time. How are you doing? Men, are you becoming a godly man? Ladies, are you becoming a godly woman? Don’t let yourself become overwhelmed. I am sure there were at least a few things that stood out to you from the last couple of weeks that you want to work on, choose one of them. Share it with a trusted friend. Pray about it. Walk in it. Don’t wait until you have the perfect plan to act, take the next righteous step today.
This next week we will take a break and enjoy the preaching of Pastor Dany Benitez while the men are away at retreat. I know that you will be blessed by what he has to say, so don’t miss it.
I provided the Code of a Man of God in last weeks blog posting for reflection and motivation. I will do the same this week for the ladies. Don’t forget, if you have relationship questions about what the Bible says about something, make sure to send those in to us so that we can answer them.
Code of A Woman of God
I am a woman of God. God is my Father, Jesus Christ is my Lord, the Spirit of God and the Word of God are my guide, and my family is my highest earthly calling. I am not a perfect woman.
I am a forgiven woman. All of my sins-past, present and future-have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, the son of God, and I can now live free from the fear of man and the power of sin, death, and Satan. I will love my Savior, honor my husband, and help him build our family with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength.
I am a pure woman: Forsaking all others, I will guard my eyes, heart and body and use them to bless my husband alone.
I am a woman of purpose: I am my husband’s necessary ally. He cannot win the battles to which he is called without me, and I will stand fearlessly, faithfully and joyfully by his side all my days.
I am a prioritized woman: I unapologetically keep my God-given priorities in order: my Savior, then my husband, then our children and our home, and then all else.
I am a Bible woman: My thoughts, feelings, and the opinions of this World are submitted to the Word of the Living God.
I am a repenting woman: When I sin (and I will), I will receive grace, get back up, and move forward in confidence.
I will allow the Word of God to renew my mind remembering Christ has set me free, and I am no longer a slave to sin. I have been set free from the bondage of sin and shame, and I will gladly seek to walk in fellowship, unity and obedience to my Savior and Lord.
I am a woman of God. I will seek to build up my home for God’s glory and our family’s flourishing, serving the lord together, all the days of our life!
