Rolling out the Women

As women we recognize that there is a special call of God upon our lives and the lives of other women. We know that we are co-labourers in the kingdom of God.

WAs Women we are carriers of the purpose of God, we have the divine nature of God in us. We are not defined by who men say we are but we are defined by who God says we are. We are God’s masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made by Him ( Eph 2:10). Women are on God’s agenda for kingdom endtime purposes.

The heart of the Lord is to pull his daughters out of obscurity, out of insecurity, out of hiding, out of the shadows, out of complacency, out of all forms of bondages. The Lord has broken the old mold that has kept us captives for years. He has released the limitations of us so that we can function in the way He wants us to. It is roll call time. Are we on duty? Are we in position?

There is an upper room waiting for us when we are in one accord. There is a mighty rushing wind that has come as in the book of Acts of the Apostles. The cloven tongues of fire are there and it is already sitting on the heads of our women to equip us for greater service and power in this kingdom season.

I would like to focus on three kingdom roles that women can and should function in: 1. Women were created to help exercise authority and dominion over God’s creation. We were born to have dominion. This mandate was given to both

Adam ad Eve. When God made mankind God called his creation

Adam- Mankind. It was Adam who called her name Eve.

In Gen 1: 26-28- There is a mandate for us to have and to take dominion. This is an authoritative order from God given to Adam and Eve. They were to exercise authority together. The fall came and women lost status but this did not alter the plan of God for our lives. This was never God’s original idea or intent for women not to exercise authority. Jesus has restored that which was lost during the fall. There is a wonderful redeeming work that was done on the cross. The blood of Jesus is efficacious (efficient). It is time for us to launch out into the deep where the Lord wants us to be. There is a great catch of fish as we let down our nets for a draught.

In the Kingdom, there is neither male nor female Gal 3:28. It is a new season, it is a new day fresh anointing is coming our way. It is the kingdom season of power and authority.

• We can’t be spectators

• We are active citizens in the kingdom of God

• Our primary goal is to establish the Kingdom of God on the earth.

Let us function in that God-given authority and mandate. We must partake in the dominion and restoration authority given to us co-laborers in the Kingdom of God. As women, we must prepare the earth for the return of the Lord. This is the appointed time.

2. The second rolling out for our women is in the area of Leadership. Leadership is the ability to influence others to achieve organizational goals or desired objectives. This involves giving guidance and direction and leading by example. Effective leadership in the world and in the church is in high demand. Women have and will continue to be used by God to lead His people. Mic 6:4 I brought you up out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. I sent Moses to lead you, also Aaron, and Miriam. Neither Miriam nor Aaron walked perfectly before the Lord but that does not say negate the fact that she was chosen as a leader. In Exo 15:20 she took the timbrel in her hand and all the women followed her. She sang a triumphant song unto the Lord.

Leadership is part of the dominion authority given to us and demonstrated also in the lives of a number of women such as Deborah, Esther, Huldah

Come on Women of God, what area of responsibility is the Lord calling you to? If you already know your area of responsibility, I challenge you to function at the highest dimension.

3. Women were used to Publish/ proclaim/declare the word of the Lord. Ps. 68:11- the Lord gave the word/command and great is the company of women who published it. Celebration of victories over the enemy as they stood ready to publish the Word of the Lord. Publishing comes through various means that the Lord will avail to us such as preaching, teaching, prophesying, evangelizing, praying, training and disciple. God is calling women to a purpose greater than themselves. The Lord is calling us to accuracy.

Sisters, what are you hearing? Is it the voice of the Lord? We must hear correctly so that we can speak on behalf of God. p
