The group of ladies by Chishamiso
• I live in a world that says “Always put yourself first, you are all that you have”, but also
belong to a group of these ladies that say 1st John 3:17, “But if anyone has the world’s
goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love
abide in him,” They subscribe instead to being selfless, and looking out for those in need.
• I live in a world that says “Live your truth”, but then belong to a group of these women that
say John 14:6 “l’ am the way, and the truth, and the life”, They subscribe instead to a man
called Jesus, whose truth matters more than my own subjective emotions and view of
things.
• I live in a world that says “YOLO, You only live once, so have fun”, but then these ladies
disagree again to say Proverbs 25:28 , “ Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man
without self-control” and they also say Ephesians 5:15-16 “ Be very careful, then, how you
live, not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opport0unity, because the days
are evil “They subscribe to a belief that a lack of control makes me defenceless against life’s
troubles and the pursuit of fun should not cross over into sinful behaviour.
• I live in a world that now says “Call your parents out if they are being toxic “but these
adamant women say Exodus 20:12 “Honour your father and your mother, that your days
may be long upon the land” and they also insist on Colossians 3:20 “Children, obey your
parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord”, They subscribe to a belief that even
though l may not always understand or agree with my parents, l still have a duty to respect
them, and give them their place in my life.
• I live in a world that says “It’s your body, you can do whatever you want “but these ladies
say 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a
price. So glorify God in your body “They subscribe to the notion that my body is a temple of
God, and what l do with it should bring honour and not shame to God.
• I used to live in a world that had a lot to say, but this group of God-fearing women l belong
to now abides by a different set of rules. I may not be able to convince you why l believe this
group of women know what they are talking about. But what l know is that since l started
trying this different way of life, I live in a better world than the one l knew before
