STRENGTH OF A WOMAN

A special Women’s forum, which celebrated the virtues and the attributes of the ‘weaker sex’, was held recently at the Benin Church. The forum, with ‘Strength of a Woman’ as its theme, had more than 50 women in attendance.

Bernice Ede, who leads the women ministry in Benin, in her message to the participants, extolled the women for ‘her strength, which was freely given by God.’ Quoting from proverbs 31:10-31, as her text, she said that ‘strength has been given to the woman by God because before they were made, God had already known her responsibilities includes taking care of her home and bringing joy to those around her.’

She further emphasised how the woman ‘ weeps for joy when others are happy, feels the pain when someone hurts, is quick to connect with others emotions, meets the needs of others, how her tears can melt a heart of stone and how God always hears her when she calls to him sincerely.’

She concluded that women everywhere should make an impact on those around them, being relatable, full of respect and trusting God to meet their own particular needs.

The women also had a health talk by Dr. Seun from Ondo State, who taught on the importance of good dieting, which, she said, helps a great deal in the avoidance of diseases.

May God’s name eternally be praised and may women everywhere strive to be virtuous, as the bible encourages.
