WOMEN OF FAITH — GOD CAN USE YOU!
Happy Women’s Day, South Africa
Scripture
“Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in time to come.”
Proverbs 31:25 (NKJV)
MORNING THOUGHT
Today is The Lord’s Day, and across South Africa we also celebrate Women’s Day.
Today we honour the women who have prayed, sacrificed, served, nurtured, led, encouraged, built families, strengthened churches, shaped communities, and helped build our nation.
The Bible is filled with women whom God used powerfully.
Deborah led with courage.
Esther stood bravely for her people.
Ruth demonstrated loyalty and faithfulness.
Hannah prayed until heaven answered.
Mary surrendered herself to the purposes of God.
Priscilla helped strengthen the early Church.
God has always used women, and God is still using women today.
To every woman reading this:
You are valuable.
You are significant.
Your prayers matter.
Your voice matters.
Your contribution matters.
Your faithfulness matters.
And regardless of your age or season of life, God still has purpose for you.
WOMEN’S DAY — REMEMBERING 9 AUGUST 1956
Today also reminds us of the courage of the thousands of South African women who marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria on 9 August 1956 in protest against the extension of pass laws to women.
Their courage became part of our nation’s history.
Today, we honour the strength, dignity, sacrifice, and contribution of women across South Africa.
But as the Church, we also pray that this generation of women will rise with something even greater:
Women of prayer.
Women of faith.
Women of wisdom.
Women of courage.
Women who know God.
Women who will impact generations.
A WORD TO OUR WOMEN
Never underestimate what God can do through one surrendered woman.
One Hannah can raise a Samuel.
One Jochebed can raise a Moses.
One Esther can influence a nation.
One Mary can say, “Let it be to me according to your word,” and become part of God’s redemptive plan.
You may think what you do goes unnoticed.
But heaven sees every prayer.
Every sacrifice.
Every act of kindness.
Every tear.
Every moment of faithful service.
God sees you.
THINK ABOUT THIS
A woman once said:
“I’m only one person. What difference can I make?”
But one candle can light another candle, and that candle can light another.
Before long, an entire room is filled with light.
Never say, “I am only one woman.”
One woman filled with faith, prayer, wisdom, and the Holy Spirit can influence an entire generation.
TODAY IS THE LORD’S DAY
Come and celebrate Jesus with us today.
