The Godly Woman

[Music] well my task this afternoon is to speak to you about the godly woman i think that it is a very relevant topic because these days you cannot tell the difference between christians and the world and jesus said we should be the light of the world but we are unfortunately sometimes we contribute to the dimness in the world he said we should be salt of the earth but he says that if salt loses its savor it becomes good for nothing and then it is just thrown away i pray that that will not be your story amen i always say that women are great tools of influence if you look at the bible the reason why god's creation fell was because of a woman who offered an apple or a fruit of a tree that god had said was not to be eaten adam was the head he was created first and god told him don't eat of this tree but when his wife took it and gave him he just ate it and because of that there was in abijah in libya in the middle east because when god came and saw what had happened he said to the woman what is this that thou has done because he could see the conscience he could see broken relationships he could see terminal diseases he could see the confusion he could see divorces separation betrayal offense all that it came through a woman and i always say that our weapons don't have to be fantastic they don't have to be scared missiles they don't have to be patriots missiles uh helicopters you know they don't even have to declare no fly zone over us because our weapons look so um harmless like an apple you know and like delilah is just a pair of laps do you understand it's not anything great but it brings a man to his knees and i want you to know as a woman that you have an influence that you may not be the head some people say you are the neck i don't know the vest but maybe it's true that you turn something around moses mother ensured that a prophet and a deliverer was kept for the children of israel because she made a wake up so our weapons may not seem so powerful but they are mighty but it's not always through god do you see but through a woman also salvation came to creation because mary said behold i'm the handmaid of the lord let it be to me according to you god spoke to mary first not to joseph and mary although she asked questions received it and said that let's be to me according to your way but to joseph god had to go and see him in a dream and discuss a few things with him before he would see that what was happening was of god and through the obedience of mary in just cooperating with god salvation has come more than two thousand years ago and so when you are a woman you are dangerous turn to the nearest sister and say you are dangerous but you can be dangerous in a positive way or dangerous in a negative way if you are dangerous in a positive way you promote god's agenda amen but if you are dangerous in a negative way you promote the agenda of the enemy and the bible says that by means of a woman a man is brought to a piece of bread i find this verse so pathetic because it doesn't say he's brought to a loaf of bread a slice of bread but a piece by means of a worrish woman a man no matter how anointed how great is brought to a piece of bread so in the same vein by means of a godly woman the whole creation can be turned around by means of a godly woman the kingdom of god can march forward by means of a godly woman society can become godly amen and so i want to congratulate you because of the topic that you chose now come with me to first john chapter 4 verse 17. most of you ladies you know where to get your weave on where to sew your dresses but you don't know where to find god's way when you enter the school of life and the devil comes knocking on your door it's not the length of your weave on the length of your eyelashes but it will be whether you know scripture and you know god that is what will ensure that you pass amen first john chapter 4 verse 17 by this love is perfected with us and we may have confidence in the day of judgment because as he is so also are we in this world now the word godliness means god likeness being like god amen and the bible is saying that as god is so are we in this world it's not saying we will be it's not saying when we get to heaven then we will be it's true our bodies will be changed but as he is every attribute that god has when you become a born again christian you are like that automatically so as he is so are we not so are we going to become it's not it's not futuristic it's not in the past but it's present continuous so are we can we understand that simple whatever most of the time when people say be godly you have to look at what god is like and some time ago a long time ago i was telling god i want to be godly i want to be like you and as i was praying that prayer the holy spirit said to me what is god like and i said god is pure god is holy god is love notice so many things the holy spirit said to me godliness is true it's purity it's holiness but it's also being like god and and the holy spirit asks what is god like and i realize that god does not operate for instance in the spirit of fear he hasn't there's no fear in him there's no fear there's no anxiety about the future there's no worry so that is god's likeness he he doesn't get agitated what am i going to do oh it's all over oh my god who's going to help he's not frantic and frenzied he's just cool and rested and that is god and when you read psalm 46 it says god is our refuge and our strength a very present help in time of trouble therefore we will not fear he says let the mountains be removed let them be cast into the sea there is a river that makes known the city of god and that person is gone so if the mountains move they go into the sea whatever happens he still remains the same let me ask you when there's agitation there's opera there's there are things that should make you worried are you a godly woman are you are you are you like god can you stay just rested and stay put and just know that god is in control do you have that attribute of god the bible says they that have entered into his wrist have ceased from their own works but we are busy doing our own works can you say that in your life you you you lived a life of rest because the bible says later have entered into his rest of season from their own way so if you're in your own works you have not entered into his rest and god is very cool no matter what you do you misbehave you do all sorts of things but he's rested because he knows who he is and he's not protected easily raffled can you say you are a godly woman when it comes to being rested being quiet in the lord we'll come to that as we go on first peter chapter three i hope you know where the book of peter is unless you study the word you will not know it the bible says study not to preach to somebody else but to show yourself approved unto god a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly not wrongly dividing the word of truth many of us have fallen prey to so many things as women because we don't know the bible the word sometimes the bible uses the word wives it's from the word guillermo which also means woman okay so as i read this don't tell me i'm not a wife yet lady reverend so it doesn't apply to me it applies to you it says in the same way you wives or you women wives be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word they may be one without a word by the behavior of their wives as they observe your chest and respectable behavior i don't know what king james says as they observe your chest and respectable behavior verse 3 and let not your adorning be merely external braiding the hair wearing of gold jewelry or putting on dresses but let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable quality of a meek or a gentle and quiet spirit which is precious in the sight of god for in this way in former times the holy women also who hoped in god used to adorn themselves being submissive to their own husbands that sarah obeyed abraham calling him lord he have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear amen amen now the first was the bible is telling the wives be submissive to your own husbands so that even if they don't believe the word when they look at your godliness and your behavior they will be worn over by the word now many times when we were growing up we are still growing up we thought that that vest was for people who marry unbelievers and it is and it's unfortunate that as you listen to the sound of my voice you sit under this teaching you will still go and marry an unbeliever and you will still not believe god's word and when i try to tell you tell me he's handsome somebody told me she has a beloved i asked her is he born again it's a lady reverend he's a black american he's a black american no he's been black american does not compensate for the fact that he's not born again but to her being a black american superseded everything else and his spiritual state didn't matter and the bible is saying that if you find yourself in a situation where the person you are married to does not believe in god your godliness can be a sermon can be a tool of witnessing that will change the person so that the person will come and believe the word but let me tell you young ladies it's not always happened that way i've been a pastor for some time and i continue to pastor people and i continue to tell young people like you why do you want to go with this man when they see his bmw his kiss he's waving whatever oh this is the person you see i know a lady who was only on campus with that she was my next daughter and she was a very nice unbeliever you know very cool very beautiful with this her boyfriend who was in her class they were classmates and as they were getting to find out here she met a man with her bands and her days and that's when she dumped the boy the boy was very sad in fact he suffered from heart attack emotional heart attack so she went out with this guy so once when i was going to use the bathroom i saw a huge man who was very prominent in aqua a huge one using the bathroom and instinctively i just shouted ah and i run to money because i wasn't expecting a man now as the years have ruled by they got married and all that you think that they live to play ever after from the beginning the cracks started to show and it wasn't easy it has not been easy up till now now this lady the marriage has been over for some time but she's really really born again now let me ask you it's true god's mercy reaches you but there are certain mistakes that you make that you know you went into this funny marriage it has produced children what will you do you can't say i'm burying them in the earth i'm changing their names they don't exist whatever what brought her to that place was that she wasn't even born she wasn't even a christian but some of you you are born again but you will follow this road and i met her recently as a funeral and she was saying to me you know your program on saturday mornings honey on my lips is so life changing the young girls must hear this you must i mean you must preach till they can hear i said they hear about whether they will do she said use us use us as an example use us to preach use us to tell the person i have code-living examples like this come you sit here this one she wants to marry a man who does not know the lord you counsel her oh they've counseled to their tongue is from here to here but you always feel that as for you your love is different we haven't seen some before but the bible says there's nothing new under the sun i'm telling you there's nothing you understand but what will keep a man faithful to you is godliness the fear of god can't you see miss ghana this every year there's a new miss ghana so your beauty cannot sustain a relationship your beauty cannot guarantee that man will be faithful to you but your godliness can sometimes stand even a wicked person around and bring him into fellowship with christ amen i have met countless people from lagoon who today they are wild christians laying on of hands they are tight and i didn't even know certain things that happened i'll be telling you as we go along because by the grace of god i finished legal 1986 some of you have not been dreamt of your father had not met your mother isn't it before i went on to law school so a lot of water has passed if you like and i've met people this athlete you're on the right path somebody sent me mail a few weeks ago we used to laugh at you so much for being as you are being a christian but today i'm a baptist i'm born again and so i wish i could rewind my life i don't even remember that particular person laughing at me because it didn't matter but she said that she laughed at me but today she wants to say that godliness is profitable amen so the bible is saying that if when people have some way godliness can be a message to them your godliness can turn them around and lead them to christ and it says your adorning let it not be merely the external braiding the hair wearing of gold jewelry and putting on of april now some people interpret that to me that don't braid your hair don't wear jewelry doesn't also mean don't wear clothes perception of clothes that's not what it means that you are adorning your decoration what you invest time in what you want to be let it not be merely breeding of it some of you when you are going to braid your hair it takes hours but you will never spend that time in the presence of god you will never spend that time seeking his face you will never spend that time just going into his presence and not having an agenda like god give me this give me this give me that when we were growing up as people said we didn't even know that god was somebody who could ask for things from you just wanted to fall in love with him so he says let it not be the breathing of hair some of you the hair when you do it you know you breathe it it hurts you then that woman who starts the past or sitting next door you will pay any price to look nice but you will not pay any price to be counted for jesus to be a godly woman you will not pay the price and it is not now that it started happening in the days of paul there were people like you who were only concerned about the external reading of how i look how do people see me public opinion braiding of hair wearing of gold or jewelry oh my paper but when the person shares the scriptures oh do you know any scripture that matches this that should you get excited about the things of god no we get excited about your beast where did you get it twice your seamstress she's behind me my behind the gutter under the bridge you go [Applause] you're adorning let me ask you what decorates you what is it that makes you noticeable is it just the external you are done your decoration integration takes time the question is expensive some of you you sit in the mirror and you admire your image i know people either were on campus don't look at someone she was looking at yourself i said why are you looking at because me i mean you're fine but when you face the storms of life your way on cannot stop satan from attacking you your beats cannot stop satan from your marriage but the name of jesus and the scriptures that you have studied can make you an overcomer amen wearing of gold putting enough dresses and i'll come to dresses because now christians wear anything and everything yes we are we are slaves to fashion slaves and the world is showing us the way and most of the world's designers are other things and therefore they often design with that spirit i try to start with a blast it's like wearing this jacket i don't wear anything [Music] there's something wrong we follow fashion and because we follow fortune we don't look at the god factor does it please god let me say whatever you doing well though indeed to all not some to the glory of god so as you lift up that guinness bottle say father to your glory as you take off your sketching that you say father to your glory i do this as you wear that dress as father as i wear this dress may many be drawn to you may many know the love of christ wear it and let it be do all what some do all to the glory of god instead of being the light of the world the world is leading us and we feel that you have to be fashionable you don't have to be a slave to be a slave to fashion to be fashionable you can still look smart without compromising your standards if you want to be a party amen so let's not be the wearing of braiding of hair wearing of opera wearing of gold but let it be the hidden man of the heart a godly woman invests in the area of the heart you see the same man is your hair your face your body but the hidden man is the real you and the hidden man is hidden because he is a spirit man when you say you have become born again christ comes to live in you so that is the hidden man says let it be the hidden mother it means that your attention your money your priority whatever it is let it be more spiritual than physical man is a spirit he has a soul which is made up of his intellect his emotions and he lives in a body the body is just a cage the body is just a box after this life it is gone i wish i could tell you that we all live to a certain age but nobody knows when god will call you and after having left the university people die and continue to die some clothes some you laugh but you are not the one who determines the hidden man so you have to prepare you can't just live here everything physical but you can't do that life is spiritual [Music] amen so he says let it be the hidden man of the heart in that which is as a make and a quiet spirit what was this which is of great price in the sight of gold and make an acquired spirit may not be of great price to the world and make an acquisition may not be of great price to you because for you the weaving costs more than the mechanics but the bible says that in the sight of god it is of great price if you want to be a godly woman you are going to have to cultivate and make an acquired spirit what does it mean to be me make means to be tamely subject to injury tamely subject to injury it means that you'll be injured but when you are injured you are timely timely not wildly thin you are attainly subject to that weakness jesus said of himself take my yoke upon you and learn of me for i am meek and lonely in her what does it mean to be samely subject to injury it means that we are all exposed to injury of different kinds pain of different kinds but that is how life is if you haven't discovered that you are yet to discover it life has painful situations don't you remember when that foolish boy left you how you cried that is the pain that is the type of injury i'm talking about and some of you you should give god an offering for allowing that foolish boy to leave you do you understand because extend your eyes to god attain your affections to god and it made you a more sensible person because of you that is when you are in love you don't think anymore when i talk to you i see that you are not thinking you understand but this one line says that let your love abound in all wisdom wisdom and knowledge not just love abounding anyway family subject to injury back to our topic when jesus says that i'm me it means that when difficult situations come painful situations come situations that are not so comfortable come you have a way of being tame you entered the disadv of god when situations come that you can't change when things come that are frustrating that is when we really know how godly we are when there's been no pressure in your life i don't know how much you love jesus when an orange has not been squeezed you will never know what is in it you too when you are not being squeezed by life i cannot tell what is in you you may be sweet oh how i love you lord but when the injury comes when the pressures of life come when you are squeezed what comes out of you therein lies your godliness hidden mind the the ornament of a meek in a quiet spirit bible says about jesus that when he was tempted he revived nothing he didn't pay back when he suffered he threatened not but committed himself to him who judges faithfully you when you are revived and now as i've grown up you see some of god's things uh making a christmas spirit to be terminally subject to you how does it relate to life that's a goner i've seen that that ornament of the naked christ spirit it comes into every area of your life because when you get married your husband will hurt you whether you like it or he may be cutting out his human and even when he doesn't intend to hurt you he will hate you now some of you are oversensitive you understand everything you have to solve it everything you have to explain 10 reasons why everything 25 reasons why everything so start developing the make and acquire spirit now when you get married you will understand why the holy spirit said that the ornaments of the meek and the queen spirit you are hurt you are angry but you are still walking in love hey but i higher place to come to you and when you are married is different from where you are when you are beloved your beloved you know what see you tomorrow and then you are up by marriage see you where what are you going to see you tomorrow for when that is when your meat and your christ spirit that's when your godliness will fight for you when you are in a church you are the fastest one like me so many people will offend you because the kingdom of god is made up of different types of wishes some are a heck some red snapper some other herring some other fish with the long mouth there are different types of fish if you are not timely subject to injury you will shout out to everybody yes you help people you said that what because you never cultivated a milk and a christ spirit you have scattered the kingdom of god totally so when god says let it not be waiting of the hair wearing of jewelry putting on off clothes but let it be the hidden man of the heart in the ornament of the meek and the quiet spirit what does it mean to have a five it's the same as what i said about entering god's rest a prayer spirit is not ruffled by what happens around a great spirit has confidence in god's word and beloved when you are working in god's word usually the circumstances are opposite of what is what god's word is saying do you understand god may say that oh okay you may read the scripture great i see that it is and that's why you want her to walk by faith and that faith leads you to a quiet place you may not be trained and trust you may not feel so great you may just be humble before god but the bible says in quietness and in confidence shall your strength be many of us we don't know quite this everything you've joined the president of debating society you debate about every issue your house is a war zone your roommate cannot live with you your people in your classroom cannot live with you and yet you are ready to go down the aisle and say i do you will scatter that i do in no time amen amen the bible says physical exercise profited little but godliness is profitable unto all things some of you are enlisted in the gym isn't physical exercise is good by saying that god didn't you see it profited to a point of godliness it will profit you nonsense not something but you spend so much time they're meant to sometimes say the way you look so much like you don't look human anymore when everything is raging when things are not going your way when people have wrapped you the wrong way when you need to work in forgiveness can you still be quiet in spirit and that quietness comes by certain quiet trust in god's word now many of us we don't even meditate on the way when jesus was tempted he didn't say hey what was lady reverend preached it was very powerful what was she saying oh it was nice that's not what you win your battles with jesus said it is written man shall not live by the rules do you also have the it is written in your life do you meditate on god's word because it's the soul of the spirit when the devil comes what are you meeting with what is the prophet saying about me the prophet said i need a bath you want instantly instant coffee instant milk and instant walk with god there's nothing like that preaching you will work with god it's a step by step thing and god will build you up step by step you can't just use a prophetic to fight all your battles even prophet elijah he got to a place he said let me die i'm not better than my father because everybody gets the place of discouragement but will you remember this that you lent your morning devotion will you meditate on god's word because that is your thought ephesians 6 says that taking the sword of the spirit which is the word of god some of you your thoughts are your thumbs you can insult but it doesn't bring results lasting results or good results but the word of god will bring you a good result when you meditate on weaving you meditate on uh meet by you will spend all your money meet buy weave on handbag you will never spend anything on anything spiritual if you want to know how godly or how spiritual you are open your bag and see the things that are in open your car and see the things that are in open your wardrobe any way you keep anything you don't have any cd the last city you bought was 2009 you don't have anything spiritual except the bible that was given to you by kids you paid nothing for it [Music] but everything that is worthwhile is worth investing in yeah yeah you cannot just be here i invest a lot in the word of god and it's not easy so we invest in things that will not last but the bible says that let it be the hidden man of the heart invest in things that are not seen you see it's good to study you invest in your coursework but unfortunately it's not all those who got first class who are flying in life the school of life itself now when you're a student you feel everything is results everything is what course you do everything is am whether your gpa or i didn't do that when i was in school it your gpa is 3.8 or 3.9 or whatever you call it hey i really it's good but it does not guarantee success in the school of life at all trust me i've lived long at least 103 years and i've seen it but godliness godliness is profitable it will be profitable at your workplace it will be profitable in your finances it will we profitable in your work with god it will be profitable in eternity godliness is profitable every how do we get the word into our hearts joshua want it by meditating on it you need to meditate on the word for it to be in you otherwise when somebody does something your flesh will just manifest because you don't have any weight base you don't have any scriptural reason for what you do but if you have a scriptural reason the bible will tell you love your enemies do good to them that hate you bless them that kiss you and pray for them that despite but you don't know the way so your foolish friend again will say hey it's a new channel i care that you'll be doing only me the gospel according to again is what you are flowing by but godliness is prophet amen [Applause] first timothy chapter 2 verse 9. i'm just sharing scripture with you that's all he says likewise i want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing modestly and discreetly not with braided hair and gold or belts or costly garments but rather by means of good works as befits women making a claim to godliness i like the king james in like manner also the women are done than modest apparel with shame-facedness and sobriety not with braided hair or gold or pills or costly array okay peter said it paul has also come to say it it means our problems are the same and he's saying that we should adorn ourselves in modest what's what we wear should be modest amen with shame-facedness it's like you know act as if you are a bit shy don't be so brazen shame-facedness means you have a little shame you have a little shyness about something you are a bit a bit a bit removed i mean you know some of us we don't have any shame at all your dressing shows are you doing the neckline is so low the whole fabric is see-through it's next to your skin because you like that cut off that's going to say well yeah now there's the dresses that have come up to here when i go to the shop i see this oh madam don't you like it that's the first i said no i'm a christian i don't wear such clothes oh if it's made in ghana though oh don't tell madam to come down a bit you know for you but some of you say oh the dress is nice so i wet shamed-facedness you know there's no shame now there's not a bit of shyness that's how a woman is supposed to be not you you show everything then on the wedding day what should we expect there's nothing new everything we've seen oh we are feeling it you see and it's also to digress a bit a woman must learn that a man wants some adventure that is why usually he will not marry the ones he has slept with so much but you might the mysterious one he doesn't know because there is something to discover about you but if you take away all that thrill on the wedding today what is there to see because all things are laid back do you understand and even when you get married you still have to keep the magic that's another topic when you get married you still have to keep the magic you don't come and just [Applause] you know and that's examples oh but nothing is showing but the suggested dress alone so our brothers are supposed to find the holy spirit in church but they are finding temptations so instead of being in worship they are thinking about things they shouldn't think about because of you so are you leading to the extension of god's kingdom or you are rather drawing people away from christ shame facing this a bit of shamefulness do you understand modest april you can still look good oh yeah but you don't have to compromise some everything and when when we tell you to pull your dress up you tell us you are away you tell us you are where is god also away you tell us that the sketch that's out there you can make a difference shame faces and sobriety means you know when somebody lacks sobriety the person is drunk drunk people lack some rights they don't have self-control they are not temporary they don't have anything that they can control they are out of control that is lack of sobriety when yourself if it makes you attractive you understand the fact that you have shame-facedness doesn't mean you are not confident you are confident in what god has made you and all that but you have some same-shame faces somehow that is why sometimes when people aspirate to heaven i like this boy can i propose to him shame face sadness come back a little bit even when you like him eh don't show it so much amen ladies you always call it he never calls you back you're always going there you are making food for him that brings nothing what is your problem shame-facedness is what you need amen i remember in lagoon when my husband was trying to be like the trust me [Music] and he was in that motor school i went to a girl school where's the girl so when i met him when he comes to the hall of all time he was our president of our fellowship then the sisters will be saying hey brother doug you never visit me hey but i got come here you're not coming here nice to think this guy must feel very cool as all these men are saying these things to him so anytime i met him maybe i haven't seen him for a long time hello brother doug how are you oh it's good to see you oh you're going here okay fine so later when i became his beloved he said you used to think about it everybody says why are you not coming to my room it's been a long time but this one sees you and says hi how are you how's everything and that was the catch you understand shame faces shame-facedness i'm so bright but sometimes you are rushing too much it's not attractive brothers are my line for a woman to be so the bible has already advised you about a chain-facedness and sobriety soberness be sober and even in your dressing let it be like you're a little shy but the things that you wear tight trousers we can't see with a next to your skin when we see we rather have the shame-facedness not we feel shy such as a woman yourself when you see people you just hang your head you feel so bad but the person wearing it is feeling free with shame-facedness and so pride sometimes in the church the type of dressing people come with a church one lady i told her i said that this thing that you always say she also said it says stop that's how hey so i said you may say sister let's not accept her in the house of god and sometimes you are in the choir you come and stand there when we say i will lift up my nightstand there you are we lift up our eyes to you it's true that church used to be a haven the church used to be a place that you could run away from sin and the world but now when you come into the church the world is confronting you more than even the world outside we need to change to be godly women hallelujah [Applause] women professing godliness with good ways now later what are some of these good words titus chapter 2 and i'm ending titus chapter 2. i know you don't know where titus is i know i know i know look the word of god is sweet the word of god brings life the word of god is light chapters chapter 2 verse 3. and reading on the older women are to be reverent king james government the aged woman likewise that they be in behavior as becometh holiness not false accuses not given too much wine teach us of good things the next one that they may teach the younger women to love their husbands to be sober to love their husbands to love their children to be sensible or sober pure workers at home kind being subject to their own husbands that the word of god may not be blasphemed nasb says that the word of god may not be dishonest now the bible is saying that you see yesterday i was at mtn to launch their women women mentoring younger ladies younger girls it's a program it was international women's day so they had that lunch mentors and mentees okay but as i was getting ready to go i said oh this concept god has it already it's not the world that is now bringing it that the aged women should teach the younger women and paul gives the topics that you should be taught about it says to love your husband i thought you loved him before that's why you married him if you have a husband usually is love that brings you to the altar and that makes you marry him but paul is talking about love after marriage not love before there are two different things amen and the one that comes after needs to be taught the one that comes before you just find it i'm in love you fall in it my husband says don't fall in love walk into it with your head on top do you see but this one paul says that we should teach the younger women to love their husbands it is talking about a higher and divine kind of love not the one that literally i would like to marry somebody who is six foot four it has nothing to do with the success of the marriage when he's six foot four he can beat you properly he may he may be able to beat you properly but that's not what we are talking about we are talking about the divine kind of love and when you get married like i was saying you see the person you love most is the one who hates you the most do you understand and so paul for seeing that said that by the holy spirit teach the younger women to love their husband and that is love in spite of not love because of the the first one is that because of because you are kind because you are sweet because you talk to me nicely because i think i found my soul mate because i think that we can really you know we're on the same wavelength because i think i'm looking for a friend and then he will also be giving you raps oh lay your troubles on my shoulder put your worries in my pocket so he's so caring this is shoulder his own problem he cannot carry it on it and his problems are more than he can put in his pocket and he's telling you put your own on his shoulders and in his pocket and you believe it but that's love stage one but stage two is when the person doesn't do what you want can you still see a walking divine love when the person is the head of your home and he takes a decision you don't agree one decision has to carry can you submit and say because of god's word it's not about evil and good but about two rights which one should i just submit that's the god kind of love the bible says love does not seek his own way but your type he seeks his own way come at six if you don't come trouble come at 5 30. if you don't come it means you don't care call me twice a week if you don't call me that's a stage one stage two is the one that you come to a school like this and you are taught by the older woman to love your husbands so to love your children you think that maternal love is automatic it is but children can really misbehave and wrap you the wrong way i'm sure some of you are like that but divine love will keep you loving your children okay and then to love the actual to be discreet discretion is you need soberness to be discreet to be discreet means you don't expose everything including your body we don't expose everything including the things you talk about you are just discreet the bible says about mary that she kept these things in her heart and pondered over them when the holy ghost shares something with you sometimes you need discretion so that you just say oh i'm going to be discreet about this or you hear that somebody has fallen somebody has done something you are discreet about it when paul and his soul and his son jonathan were killed david said tell it not in gath publish it not in ashkelon let the daughters of the philistines rejoice but for you you'll be the main publisher hey have you heard do you know that she went to do this and then it is true but this question will keep your tongue amen keep us at home hey the older women should teach the younger women to also be keepers at home keep us at home some of you even now you're not used to being at home every day you are roaming you are roaming empty busy my mother says empty busy that does not bring any results every day you are going to visit a friend i am glad that my father didn't encourage that when i was younger i didn't understand when my friend comes she said that hey hey rabbi you've come very early it's nine in the morning have you swept your mother's compound and my friend would not be i'll also be very bored what is that you know have you slept your mother's camp maybe she'll say yes daddy what about food i'm not going to help to cook the family meals which my mother has already done anyway my daughter is very busy you know she just got up she has done her chores and now she's in the kitchen cooking so unfortunately you cannot visit here okay rabbi so go eh and go and help your mother and then come back later i will be so bored say why should my father disgrace me like that why should he embarrass me why should he say that but now when i look back i do it to my children after busy 7 00 am her friend as i say what do you want here my mother leaves home early so i had to join so you come later with jojo i said have you swept oh mrs what meals have you come for a mother my mother said she would teach me i said anyway daniela is not ready she's now making some jollof so she cannot go with you hey but my house is very fast after i say you have another friend down the road you can go and visit that friend because it has helped me to be a keeper at home [Music] so now when i'm at home i don't need to go here go here go here the neighborhood this one has come to this one came to get salt this one got charcoal and i just want this and then somehow i am glad that my mother the injured woman made me a keeper at home and now you people say that you have become professional women so you don't cook isn't it and when you cook we can't even eat it let me tell you some of the men may say oh honey it doesn't really matter if you don't cook it though i'm a good cook i'll do the cookie it's a lie it's a lie whether it's in england america they all say women have men helping the woman but the bottom line if you read books and watch movies look at it the white woman whatever she's in the kitchen getting cereal her children are going to school and you can't change that so you better enjoy it in our church sometimes we take people we give them cookie lessons because they are producing bombs they are not producing food they are producing bumps and then later your husband will be passed to his mother's house to get some food his sister's house then that's the stuff from church then you'll freak out why because you can't keep at home you are not it's not only about academics and sometimes i see people in the church they are always busy working one lady she said that hey i have to be in church by 6 am i have to sweep do prayer meeting do this do this and i said hey so when will you cook oh mommy cooking's on my gender cry it's like cookie is not part but being a keeper at home is part of your work your duty as a godly woman you see god thinks they sound even social sometimes but that is how you keep your home keep us at all they say we should teach you i thought you will know already but it says in the church we should teach you to be keepers at all in the church of god your own battle you can scrap it every day you are calling kojo come and scrap kojo come and do this now you can't do anything you can't really say i'm a corporate woman i'm just climbing the ladder which ladder there's also a domestic ladder to climb and as a woman you have to be a balanced woman you have to be a balanced woman i don't care what your qualification is amen you go and stand because your honor this man this and when you come home they should eat air or oxygen you have to plan it's true i have gone to the market over and over again to do my grocery shop and i continue to go when i see people nowadays i don't feel so frequent that's how they behave some of them it's like bishop dog's wife what's she doing about by the car and sometimes they don't remember to close their mouths the last straw was when i went to canadian i was just walking there somebody shouted hey bishop now i don't have to come here again i have to now change my market and another not so long ago i was buying onions and the woman was saying is this much a basket for you and i said oh my poor chart so dry and then she just turned and said sister mommy mad sold quickly i just packed my things and i left but by the grace of god no house boy no house girl can bluff me do you understand as you are coming i'm the one rather training you to show you what to do but not that you've come i don't know anything some people don't know even where things are found on the market you are so busy doing what academics and spirituality but the bible says the older women should teach the younger women to be keepers at home some of you is not your fault you didn't get that mother you didn't get that kind of environment but you can still learn when we were in legon there was a lady who used to cook when she cooks she uses only onions i don't know whether it's also but it does not work with yam and one of our bishops bishop adi the lady invited him for dinner so he was passing by my daughter i didn't know and i said oh i had some missed you you are going for dinner okay then see you so yes after the dinner i'll come and visit you so i said okay so he went i didn't know what he was giving when he came he said he's a beast you that's ah but you are coming from a dinner have you eaten onions too before i said what are you saying say mrs tuna tomato beer anymore white that might say oh maybe it's flower it was a white sauce he couldn't eat it and he said that when he couldn't eat it and the lady asked him brother eddie it's not nice then he couldn't answer and she said that maybe because you are eating yam you need more and then she brought more sauce i know the lady up to now educated high up whatever cannot and will not cook keep us at home it's important keep it set up so that it helps the house and helps a marriage to be solidified otherwise other people come in you leave everything to the mate before you know she's also marrying your husband for you i said it on radio and somebody said well lady reverend was as if she lived in my house because that was her main problem you know and that's how god works so the thing was plain and then the faces were coming she decided to change but she has left everything today if you leave everything to the mid it will not take it will not be long before the bedroom also is added to her duties go and ask a a rachel and leah they gave their househouse to also be part of it's like the work is a lot to you to come and help keep us at home good good the fruit of the spirit is goodness good you see sometimes worldly good is not godly good but there's something called general good that we all know so good if you know that if somebody takes your beloved from you you won't like it don't do it to somebody in the church of god you know that this one once i was counseled later i said as you are taking your best friend's beloved you think it's right ah but lady reverend she left him and your bear the um pencil and i said she left him but she's your best friend it's different and she has shared everything with you oh i like this boy oh he did this i didn't like it what do you think he's she's given you her whole life she's brought everything out to you and before she knows you are going out with her beloved she said she doesn't see anything wrong with it so i said that okay sometimes it may not be verses you know so you have to leave them no sunnah had they started working then the brother said you know something i want to go to the first one back i'm returning so this one came to my office crying lady reverend he's broken my heart that's why i thought he said it doesn't matter it doesn't matter because it didn't work and he has moved on oh i'm so sorry i said that now i've seen that it's very painful you women you know that is painful but when it's not you you will never ever ever feel for the next person good good it's also something that can be taught to teach you to be good amen amen some of us we are in the body of christ but we always seducing people's husbands enticing people i said i didn't ask him he came himself because his wife is not attractive sometimes i account for people saying that whatever he says he has a lot of problems with his wife his wife gives him a lot of problems i said so you are the solution i believe so and as you believe so it's just a matter of time i've seen it time and time i tell people don't be a second wife don't be a girlfriend by the marriage it won't work they don't listen then listen they'll tell me tell all the young girls that one of the worst things to be is a second wife but they're also young like you and they listen a few years ago i was going to malcolm the one at kanishi and i met a lady who was in lagoon with me she was a year ahead of me they were a very famous couple so she had left the guy they were not christians and i'd met the guy he was very broken but she just left me with me might for some time maybe about ten years when i saw her said so why did you leave my brother no when she met me no she said mommy you know what you were preaching on campus what you were standing for that is real life we have been deceived i said hey this guy is preaching to me something has happened i says why did you leave my brother she said your brother that she pulled me as i said come to the side there's a lot of human trafficking she said if the dustbins in volta hall could speak the number of children he's made me throw into that dustbin i was so surprised i didn't know even they put children it never occurred to me so the number of children i am sure that they are crying from the dustbins of walter they are crying and after that i marry you and my womb is damaged and then we do all sorts of medical things and it doesn't work i bet him a grudge every time i told him but we are going to get married even find out here do i have to abort this baby you say i have to so now out of bitterness i've left him that's what but you are now a christian so i would think that you would rather not go towards divorce no no no the kind of bitterness i have in my heart is not going no no then she switched and said anyway i'm the secretary to my pastor my london church and i'm also a deaconess will you come and speak to us in the church talking about something else girl but she was high up in the church now and she told me herself that if the dustbins in walter hall could cry they would satan will lead you you think you are having pleasure some of you use abortion as a form of birth control a godly woman does not sleep with a man she's not married to a godly woman does not discover her sketch before marriage she does not and god will give you the grace to be holy i tell you by the grace of god i married my first beloved and i didn't know him before i got married and he also did not have anybody and you know as a young girl i used to pray for that it depends on your heart's desires i should tell god god i want to marry somebody who has never had anybody in hell and i also want you to help me to keep myself so that i will meet a person like that and god answered my god i didn't even know how he would answer but he did amen and so it is possible to be pure god will give you the you see what we do as christians is these days we don't we we don't receive power you know the bible says as many as believed i received he gave them power to become the children of god but we don't use the power god has given us to become what he wants us to become you know and we are also how i feel what i want my desire we are led by our flesh we are led by our emotions and we are not led by the spirit of god but the bible says in romans 8 14 as many as are led by the spirit of god not by their sentiments and their feelings those are the children of god you say jesus is lord he's not lord you have made your feelings lord your feelings a lot how you feel life our feelings are to lead us it will disgrace you your feelings sometimes you have to go for lectures you feel sleepy so you just succumb you will be lost your feelings cannot be lord of your life jesus is lord of your life and he comes into our lives to empower us the bible says the same spirit that raised christ from the dead it shall quicken our mortal bodies that same spirit is in us to make us what god wants us to become so godliness is not by your own power but it's by your own decision you decide and say lord i want you to help me i want to cooperate with you to become godly and many times we fall into unnecessary sin because one the way we dress entices people and we say don't say it don't say that because of the way i dress you raped me but it is it is because men are visual they move more by what they see so when you marry you don't have to wear a kotoku as a 90. you have to wear something that your husband can see that's another topic [Music] and the brother stop imagining come here come calm down [Applause] amen but you can become a godly woman through the power of god it comes by being close to the source of power just like anything else if the plug is out and it's not plugged into the source of power it will never have that power but god gives you power to become a child of god and also our lifestyles lead us into sin and ungodliness you are in love with this beloved of yours you are all burning and you are going to visit him at 11 o'clock in the night there is nobody there or just the two of you and your sketch is up to here and you are going to discuss a very serious matter so as you start crying please don't cry and then the bible says i stood at the corner of my house i saw a young man going on the road void of understanding he's taking the corner to the strange woman's house in the dark nights so timing but when we were growing up we heard that after this time don't be with your beloved do not do certain things and then they start everywhere you go and visit your beloved open the door so you sit down and then you open the door so if anything is coming you can be seen so you won't do so emotions are natural but they must be kept under control and even in the context of marriage you will still need the fruit of the spirit self-control because you will meet people at work who are nice to you and at that time maybe in the morning your husband has spoken to you in a way that you don't like and then you meet your boss hi daffodil how nice you look this morning you say even when i dress but he doesn't notice look at my boss she's not as then so even in marriage you leave self-control so god starts to prepare you before then godliness is profitable i pray for you that you will decide to be a godly woman look i've seen the high time girls come to pass i could write a history book i met one of them very high time and now i met her hernando's she was where would that support do you know dashable something i was shocked i said is this the girl hey snake skin bag snake skin dress snakeskin shoes and when she walks like this through water everybody becomes quiet and they go like that and i saw him very very sober sadly it would like to invite you for the next a-glo meeting look when life knocks you your bomb is fine jesus oh and she was with her husband and her two children i said i kept looking but if enough you won't be fashionable super dear it's my grandmother the high times most of them are not even married most of them are not even mind and they have become now wild for jesus out but i could have saved them a lot of heartaches even there may be christians who are not married but a certain joy a certain hope and a certain respectability of life is still with you so when i look i say jesus i thank god that you gave me the grace to accept you i didn't know how far the lord would lead us in ministry i didn't know the church would become a multi-international church with about 1200 branches on five continents of this world i never knew but god knew that our testimony was important and we didn't know that but god knew what if we had just blown it what if we had just blown it we are just there no oh this is your sister and then this president of this fellowship they are pregnant girl god will forgive you but a certain seed would have been soon and even a certain authority to talk to young people don't do it you can do it god can keep you from sin that's authority you you become a bit god has forgiven you but so don't allow any man to lie to you they are lying if i say if you love me sleep with me give him a bar of chocolate to show that you love him and may the god who is at work in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure may he give us the power to become the godly woman that he has called us to be amen please stand to your feet i want you to talk to god and i don't want you to talk to him as something that the preacher has just asked us to do but i want you to be frank with him talk to him from your heart speak to him about your life speak to him about your work with him i get the action that many of us are not deep in the things of god and many of us our commitment is wishy-washy today god is asking you for rededication for a new life a new beginning a new place in him and a closer walk with him talk to god open your mouth forget about who is on your left and whis on your right concentrate on jesus and let amend the broken places of your life ask him for strength and the power to become the godly person that he wants you to become i have decided to follow jesus i have decide help me please to follow jesus sing it with meaning and decide that you are not going to be happy in the world having christ you're going to go all out [Music] it's going to take sacrifice to go all out for jesus to jesus me gave me jesus are here this afternoon you know that you have to make straight paths with your feet you know that you have to settle your scores with god you want to say lady raven pray for me i don't know whether i'll go to heaven or hell when i die i

up your hand wherever you are standing wherever you are standing mean business with god let it go over your shoulder forget about who is on your left or your right human opinion is not important what is important is what god says and if you've lifted up your hand do one more thing give me the honor of ushering you again into his presence come forward to where i'm standing give me the honor of helping you on the road again to work with the master come forward wherever you may be standing forget about which on your left or who is on your right forget about human opinion and come make a

jesus name amen amen and i also want to pray for you i thank you for your grace that is sufficient for us your word says that we should come to your throne that we may find grace and mercy to help in time of need i pray for your mercy to be on your children who have come forward i pray for the cleansing blood of the lamb to make them whole again oh lord look not on our mistakes but look upon the lamb that was slain from for us from the foundations of the earth and father grant them a new beginning i pray that every stronghold of sin and self-will over their lives will be broken in the name of jesus i pray that your power from on high will quicken them may your callings your gifts your future for them may not be aborted by the enemy but made come forth thank you bless them with a blessing that makes rich and that's no sorrow let that be their portion walk with them lord let the word of god dwell richly in their hearts deliver them from the deceptions of this life give them eyes to see
