Listen

I know we are all aware of this scripture, this is just to juggle our memories. This really ministered to me, as I know I tend to get busy doing so many things, and forget to just sit down patiently at the foot of Jesus and LISTEN. It is interesting that women complain that their husbands don't listen, well when was the last time you actually listened to Jesus. Luke 10:38-42 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" "Martha, Martha, the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed, Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." D...

Love is the most excellent way

Did you know that Love is a puzzle and you are the only one who can solve it? Draw a heart on the back of your paper. Divide the heart into three, and write the following on each piece respectively. - Love the Lord YOUr God Matt 22:37-38 - Love YOUr neighbor Matt 22:39 - Love YOUrself Matt 22:39 What word is common to all three pieces, YOU!. You are the link. We are going to talk about becoming a better YOU. 1. Keep pressing forward (Philippians 3:12; Hebrews 12:1-3.) a. Know who you are in Christ and the power of the bloodline Gal 2:20 b. Break free from the strongholds of your past. If you don’t heal from past wounds, you won’t be able to handle fresh wounds that may come. c. Discover your destiny. Find out what your destiny and destination is. d. Give your dreams a new beginning. Start afresh. Get a new vision statement. e. Stretch to the next level. Find new possibilities. Start a business. Launch your ministry. Go back to school. Do something. “The greater danger for most of us li...

The Year of the Super Woman

No, this has nothing to do with Women's lib. 2008, in my opinion was the year of the SuperWoman. We saw more women involved in Politics. Hilary was in the Presidential race. Artistes like Beyonce and Alicia Keys released singles that celebrated women. I mean "Single Ladies" and "Super Woman" respectively. What about the Church? Yes, women got bolder it looks like..........I am happy about this but as we enter 2009, let us remember Proverbs 31: 10-31. For us married women, specifically 1) Her Husband's confidence vs. 11&12 2) Her Husband's respect vs. 23 May God give us wisdom on being the women, daughters, wives and mothers God wants us to be. Amen.

Why DeborahofZion?

As you may have noticed, I picked DeborahofZion as my blog name. For many years now, I have used this as my user name on many sites. The reason? Well, let's start with Deborah. My parent's didn't give me a christian name, so when I became a born-again christian , I took the liberty to give myself one. I chose Deborah, way before I met my darling husband whose mother's name is Deborah :-) Deborah is one of the great women mentioned in the bible. She is mentioned in Judges 4 and 5. There are four characteristics that I strive towards by the grace of God. They are her leadership skills, her confidence, courage and wisdom. Zion is a place. I have always been so different, so I figured why not be DeborahofZion. Seriously, do you see me laughing. Bye for now.
