Oneness in Women in Christ

Today's theme is "Oneness in Women in Christ." What is the focus of a real woman's obedience to God, and how can we support our sisters-in-Christ?

Romans 6:16 says:

"Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?"

As women in Christ, our obedience is to the Lord which leads to righteousness. The focus of a real woman's obedience to God is our covenant with Him and to each other as women in Christ.

Who are Women of Covenant?

We are women in agreement, women of God, women of promise, women binding together to obey and do the call of God. We will promote growth to the church as well as encourage and uplift one another in love and compassion. We will be thoughtful women, intercessors, women of joy, women working together in love and unity. We will honor one another as we honor God.

We will lift our pastor and his family up in prayer and be on standby to work when called upon. We will follow the direction of God, and when disagreements come – and you know they will – we will learn (to agree to disagree). We are women of faith, women who know and believe God can and will do what He says in His word.

We are praying women, obedient women, and compassionate women of truth, who will go the extra mile. We will strive to do our best. We will be real women of God.

Literate Muse,

You have captured the essence of our life within the covenant of Christ. Oneness without competitive jealousy -- we are all the apple of His eye.

Hey Priestess!

Thanks for stopping by and staying connected. It means a lot. It's always good to see a familiar face and hear from such a joyful spirit. It's almost hard to believe that soon we'll be celebrating 23 years of friendship. Wow! Time sure does pass quickly.

Peace & Love,

Literate Muse
