Daughter, it’s your turn
THE Bible says that while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will not cease ( Genesis 8: 22).
A time comes when a woman rises up like Deborah to take up a mantle that should usually be the preserve of a man in order to fill the vacuum created by history.
A moment comes when a woman rises up out of obscurity like Esther to save an entire nation and another woman loses her place because she refuses to yield to her husband, albeit, a drunken one.
I believe it is the turn of women to rise up. I t is the turn of women to come to the front of the battle. Woman, it is your turn to be a leader!
Men have dominated the field of ministry for many years. Too often, women have been seen as people who cause men of God to fall. But there is far more to a woman than her physical body. It is the turn of women to influence the human race with their spirituality and their anointing. Daughter, it’s your turn to be spiritual!
After centuries of being good receivers, it’s time for women to give something. Kathryn Khulman introduced the world to the Holy Spirit in a special way. I know of no one who has operated in the healing anointing as Kathryn Khulman did!
That is a signal to all women that it is their turn to be anointed. Just like the woman with the issue of blood who received the healing anointing, many women are going to receive the anointing in power. Daughter, it’s your turn to be anointed.
I read a prophecy which declared that it is the era of the lioness. God is going to use the woman to bruise the head of the serpent ( Satan) in the last battle.
When we get to heaven, there will be no marriage. There will be no husbands, wives or children. All these things will not matter anymore. What will account is whether you fulfilled your ministry or not.
Perhaps you have been seen as an object of a man’s pleasure. Today, it’s your turn to do something for God in the ministry. Daughter, it’s time to rise up in the ministry.
Perhaps you have been kept under by the problems that arise from marriage and childbearing. But this is your hour to emerge in full glory. When a woman takes up a mantle and walks in the wisdom of God, she is indestructible. Daughter, it is your turn!
Daughter, it is your honour! This means that it is an opportunity for you to bear fruit for God. I t is an opportunity for you to do great things. You can stand side- by- side with every man, call upon the grace of God, and you will do just as well.
This does not mean you are “as good as” in a proud sense. All it means is that you are another Deborah whom God has raised up because the Baraks are too scared, doubtful, uninterested, uncommitted, unwilling and cynical. “To be cynical”, means “to be disinclined to recognise or believe in goodness or selflessness”.
Daughter, it is your honour! I t is your turn! This is a prophetic message to all women. It is the season for women to be fruitful in the ministry. Be humble, be a daughter! The anointing will come upon your life.
“The king’s daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is woven with gold. She will be led to the king ( the most high) in embroidered work;
the virgins, her companions, who follow her will be brought to you.
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought; they shall enter into the king’s palace”. ( Psalms 45: 13- 15)
