By Ezinne Ude
It was jubilations and praises to God Almighty as the Women of The Redeemed Reconciliation Church of God Inc.(TRRCG), celebrated their women’s day, at the church auditorium, N0 1 Archbishop Udeh Reginald Lane -UMUOHEE along Umuofor-Umuakuru Emekuku, Owerri North.
In a sermon, the Archbishop of the Church, Most Reverend Reginald Osonwa Udeh, advised women to always intercede for their husbands, as it could bring about total transformation in their lives.
He cited example with Zipporah, Moses’ wife, whom he said interceded on behalf of her husband when God wanted to slay him for not circumcising their son.
The Archbishop stressed the importance of women in the development of a nation, maintaining that if there is no woman, there will be no nation.
“A woman of substance is that woman that does not allow the husband to do the wrong thing. Do not be agent of confusion in your marriage, rather be a peacemaker.It is not about preaching, but how we live our lives matters a lot.
Your husband and in-laws should see you as a blessing. Be obedient, meek and gentle in spirit. Bring out your inner beauty”, he told the women.
He urged Christians to shun arrogance and pride, bearing in mind that it does not take God anything to replace anybody He wants to replace at any point in time.
Most Reverend Udeh expressed happiness that the celebration excelled beyond his expectations and returned all the glory to God.
Dwelling on the theme:”Woman of Substance”, wife of the Archbishop of the Church, Bishop (Mrs) Linda Ibiwari Udeh, described a woman of substance, as that woman that surrenders all she has unto God, that woman that sacrifices unto the service of the Lord, as well as that woman that has all the attributes as mentioned in book of Proverbs 31.
She said that the Bible had numerous women of substance such as : Abigail, Esther, Dorcas, Shunammite woman, Miriam, among others, whose contributions to things of God were recorded in the holy book.
Bishop Mrs Udeh asserted that for a woman to be regarded as a woman of substance, she must be courageous, respectful, strong, compassionate, confident, hospitable, resourceful, understanding, balanced and always confess positivity, no matter the situation. She doesn’t take no for an answer.
She expressed confidence that these attributes of women of substance can be found among the women of this present generation, despite what the world had turned into.
“Do not withdraw your arms when you are ministered to give to the servants of God. The good thing we do in the house of God does not change God. It does not make him bigger or greater, but it is we that will receive the blessings. May God help us to continue in our good deeds in Jesus name.”
One of the Women, Mrs Chidera Ihejirika, expressed appreciation to the church, husbands, friends and well-wishers for celebrating the women of the church and prayed that God will give the women grace to become women of substance.
