Amiable Qualities Of Strong Women In Christ

By Donald Cooper


God created women at the end of his other creations to help man and to be a companion to him. The first woman was Eve but after that, there have been many others who have been strong on the word of God. Some examples of strong women in Christ which are made known to us in the Bible are Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, Ruth, the prophetess Deborah and many others. These ones have some admirable qualities which young ladies of today would love to have.

One thing that is obvious about these women is their godly dressing. A woman who does not dress well is not really a child of Child. To dress well means to cover oneself well and not to seduce the opposite sex. This must be done to avoid adultery for Jesus himself said by looking at a woman lustfully, adultery has already taken place (Matthew 5:28).

She is also holy in her ways. Apart from her dressing, the way she talks, walks and acts in her workplace connotes this. Anything that will take away the Holy Spirit from her is not welcome at all. She does not give an excuse for sin or look for a small opportunity to get another man's attention.

A godly woman is pleased to say the truth at all times. Even though telling some lies may bring some monetary benefits, she would rather decide to remain poor than get involved in cooking the financial records. All her employers soon know her and deprive her of handling sensitive positions such as the office of the treasurer, financial secretary or the president.

She is not troublesome except to the kingdom of darkness for she prays and learns from others more than the way she talks. You will rarely see her in a position to teach except by the leading of the Holy Spirit. In the church, many people like to hear her contributions for they are lessons with practical life applications to help men and young women to be like God.

She is not a hypocrite, being known only outside as a good person and not at home. Instead, her husband continuously gives her praise and he is not ashamed to be identified with her in public. Happy are her children for they shall always rejoice. These strong women are typical examples of what Proverbs 31:10-31 says about virtuous women.

A strong woman in the Lord is always looking out for the needy to help them. She prepares meals for her servants and asks of the whereabouts of her friends just so that she can come in to help them where she can. She joins the church for hospital and prison ministration.

Women who are deeply rooted in Christ have the habit of having a quiet time. Before the general devotion at home, she wakes up to study the Bible and thank God for life. Simply by emulating her, another Christian can grow. She remains relevant like a light that is placed on the mountain.
