Christian Women’s Fellowship
He who is mighty has done great things
God’s predestined plan for every woman is to be the particular daughter, sister, wife or mother whom He created them to be. This is His righteousness for them. However, no one is able to accomplish the will of the Lord by the motivations of our flesh. As Christian women, we must present ourselves to Christ as obedient slaves. Knowing Him as our Lord, we accept His command for our lives, and turn away from our own endeavours. As we turn to Him, He clothes us with His righteousness, and gives us the capacity to do the works that He ordained for us.
For godly women, these works involve learning the ways of motherhood, both in our homes and in the body of Christ. Although children of a Christian parent are born with the seed of the divine nature, they must learn to be the sons or daughters whom God created them to be. Children need to be nurtured and trained in the way of obedience, so that they can be set free to become slaves of righteousness, and thus fulfil the will of God for their lives.
As women, our obedience to the Lord and to His word has a powerful impact on our children and, indeed, upon our brethren in the body of Christ. The way in which we submit ourselves in our homes, and in the body of Christ, teaches our children the obedience of faith. We hold fast to the word of God, knowing that His word is defining the righteousness in which we are to walk. We rejoice that we are being set free to become slaves of His righteousness, no longer bound by the things of this world. We can truly declare, as did Mary, the mother of Jesus, that ‘He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name’.
