WHERE ARE THE DAUGHTERS OF THE CHURCH ?

The presence of woman; have always, and always will be very important in the church.  This is not based on the view as a feminist, but on setting the record straight, and bringing balance to history that has played down the role of woman in the church.  Being the first black woman to be licensed in Caroline County, Virginia at St. John Baptist Church; gives me insight and great wisdom on this subject.  History has demonstrated the potent force women have had in world evangelism and the future growth of Christianity in Third World Nations.  Career ministry has now become the norm for women with a passion for God’s Kingdom work.

Women like Maria Woodworth-Etter and Aimee Semple McPherson broke forth into ministry through spirit and determination.  Just like these young women of that day, you and I are called to do the same in this day.  To break forth in timing and position, that the resurrection power of the gospel may change lives.  New missionary strategies will bring broken relationships together all over the world, and I want you to become a world changer through fulfilling your role as a daughter of the church.

You may be wondering, “Why am I not in church being disciplined as a daughter?”  Good question, “Why aren’t you?  You should get up right now and make contact with me, and from that divine appointment, God can bring forth a new life to change lives.

Like many of the women (listed throughout scripture) who were underestimated, you have probably underscored yourself as well.  Just look at Ruth and Esther, they were stronger than the challenges they faced.  Lydia, a business woman opened the door of the gospel that Paul preached to the world of Europe.  Why am I trying to get your attention?  Because, there are some dreams that you alone can birth.  God will not allow someone else to birth what you were assigned to do.  Becoming a daughter of the church is God’s design for you.  Remember, Galatians 3:28, “Neither make nor female; for you are all on in Christ.” Why was that given?  That you may know that God has a plan for you as a daughter and that is not based on what some men think, but what God has ordained.  Thanks for taking the time to read, “An invitation for daughters.”
