It says “When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son born of woman”, born under the law” What does this term refer to? We might have a thought that we too were born of a women rite? By the end of this article we will understand why Paul called Jesus “Born of a woman” We read in Genesis chapter 3 Adam & Eve sinned by doing things against the will of God. In verses 3 God Said “I will put enemity between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers....” Accord-ing to this verse the enmity will be between His offspring and has because of this woman are a victim to many problems. So God in His Salvation plan, had planned to include woman in redeeming the humanity. Satan deceived the woman and brought the downfall of the humanity. But God used the same womenkind to bring about salvation to the mankind. When Paul wrote to Timothy he writes that it was not Adam who was deceived But it was the women who was deceived and became a sinner (1 Tim 2:14) God is looking for one Mary who kept herself holy so that she could be used by God. God was looking for one woman who was God fearing clear in spirit, Faith, a virgin waiting for the mes-siah to be born through her, who had kept herself pure and who has guarded her virginity. So He was born of a women (Mary) who had no union with any man (Joseph),but concived by the help of the Holy spirit. This was the reason Paul addresses Jesus “born of a Woman” We write our fathers name as our initial. Because we were born with the help of our father. But Jesus Christ alone was born of a woman”. We read the Genealogy of Jesus in Mathew Chapter 1. Mat 1:16 Says "and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of Whom Jesus was born....” So the genealogy also confirms that “He was born of a woman” the Jews when they give birth to a boy child they anticipated the child to be the Messiah if it was a girl child they expected the Messiah to be born through her. There is no difference as male or female in God’s plan. Both are equal at the Sight of God 1 Cor 11:11 we lead that .... in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman” God was in seach for a woman who can be used in the redemption of this world A woman who was godly, holy humble and a virgin. He found Mary to be that perfect vessel to be used in this divine purpose. Born of this woman only brought about the salvation to this world. Dear women only when you adorn yourself with holiness can God use you as a peace maker, a bondage breaker and to introduce Him to the others. You need to take a stand on Holiness in this in holy world. Women are looked upon with lust. Women themselves have given in to lead a fifthly life. This is the reason for woman being displayed in an obscene way in the medias. This is also a vile act of Satan. Therefore you woman of God you play a great role in the salvation to this world only through

"BORN WOMaN"

of a“Born of a woman”

is a term used by Paul to address Jesus in Gal 4:4.

you can the world enjoy the peace of God. This is the reason God choose women as mighty weapon against Satan and his schemes. It is our desire that you too may be used as a mighty weapon at the hands of God, God has not created you to be trapped in Satan’s schemes but to create History. Being aware of this let’s yield to the will of God you too have great part in spreading the Love of God to this Nation. Know His will and give yourself to be fulfilled through you.

"We wish you to be a woman among them that have committed to redeemed this Nation"

To honour the women of this nation our nation is personified as a women and it is called “Barath Matha”. But it is also a shame to know that the same country which is called the Barath Matha is first in the list of countries where women are not safe. The main reason for this is because the Big screen and the small screen portraits woman as obscene objects. The social media has uploaded enormous videos which have trained the young minds to see their mothers and sisters with a lustful eye. The number of rapes, sexual tortures etc have increased a mound level and it still keeps increasing. But even now we praise our nation telling that “women are the eye of this na-tion”, which according to me is only a hypocritical statement. At one side we had the women president and have governors, women shine in the IT sectors, as police officers etc. but the other side the crimes against women keep increasing each day. Each year around 15 million baby girls are being born. But it is sad but true that even 25% of these girls don’t live to see their 15th birthday. The women and the girl children are treated as second class citizens in many parts of our nation. I don’t exaggerate if I say that that the crime against women especially at home keeps increasing day by day. Our former Prime Minister Pandit. Jawaharlal Nehru said “you can tell the condition of a nation by looking at the status of a woman”. It is our duty to encourage women to rise up in the society. For this we need to help them explore the hidden skills within them. when that is done we can find women shining in Evangelizing the Nation, in church planting, school ministries, running children homes, hospital ministries, translations, mobilization etc. let’s also praise God for the woman who are in the government and for those who have evolved to be strong women in various fields and in our homes. The government has worked out several schemes for the upliftment of the women. Let’s pray that these schemes must reach girls and women of this nation. As these things happen we will realize the potential of women in our churches, our organization and at home and encourage them to take up leaderships where ever possible. This month’s Magazine will throw some light on who the women are in God’s plan “Woman who thou art”. This will enable us to know what the Lord is doing through the women, women – the bible perspective, women in ministry etc. Let us read prayerfully. And as we read we need to remember and thank God for all the pioneer missionaries who gave their life on this land to uplift the women by giving them education and Gospel. Let’s also pray for the women and for the ministry among the women of this nation.

Let me start the women’s day special article with the quote that Billy Graham shared about women in one of his sermons. His idea was not to criticize but to highlight the truth.

“Too many women have too much leisure time for their own good. They have time for criticism, gossip, and fault finding and complaining. They have time for idle games and lay too much attention to things of the flesh. There are other women who have too little time for the enduring things of life. They have great activity and much doing, but they lack time for building Christian characters”. Hello! Is there anything that you could identify yourself with? If not go through it once more and keenly see if you can identify yourself with any of the above said qualities about women.

Proverb 18:22 says that “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favour from the Lord”. Are you and will you be a favour? A good wife is compared to be more precious than rubies. Are you grooming yourself to be of that worth? Being faithful to God is very rewarding and when a women is faithful to God She transcends all expectations. Both kinds of women - the too idle and the too busy need to take time for meditation and quiet response in prayer to God. Today’s girls are tomorrow’s women and you need time to cultivate your soul. So that in turn you will be able to cultivate your children’s lives. Charles Spurgeon once said, “I cannot explain how much I owe to the blessings of my mother” There are certain things that as girls of today and women of tomorrow you need to equip yourself with:

1. Should be aware of current events and should be able to engage in conversation on many topics. This will be possible when you keep up with current events and know what is happening around you.

2. Read books of personal interest, because this will enhance your critical thinking and analytical skills. Becoming a well-read woman will make you a well-spoken.

3. Mind the language you use, be it in English or in your vernacular. It influences life to a great extent. Keep away from vulgar language. You should not hurt others.

4. Be industrious, do not use the word “bordem” in your life, engage in activity and causes that you are passionate about, be it tailoring, sports, writing, reading, helping, cooking or whatever.

5. Integrity or honesty, trust and good character should be developed. Being trust worthy is very essential for a woman. Character is defined as moral excellent, or as who you are, when no one is looking at you. Integrity is steadfast adherence to a strict moral and ethical code. It is behaving morally across situation. Trust worthiness means being dependable.

As a young girl of today and a woman of tomorrow adhere to moral guidelines and behave that way regardless of the circumstances. A good women stays to herself and is consistent in her behaviour. As older among the young you, having a consistent behaviour should teach the younger women the skills and disciplines needed to have a successful home and marriage. The greatest of ministry is in teaching younger girls and women what they need to know to be effective daughter, Wives, mothers and home makers.

Women in Christian ministry is no more a very sensitive concept in the Christian Church. Long time since, diverse efforts were made through many conferences, consultations, discus-sions, etc. Most denominations agree that women are allowed to minister. However, there is con-fusion and disagreement between – and within- denominations on whether women are allowed to teach (and if so, whether they are allowed to teach both man and women); whether women they are allowed to be in positions of leadership; and if so, whether that includes the office of pastor, priest, bishop (or whichever terminology is used within a particular denomination to indicate the main person in charge of leading the congregation). There is still many questions are being asked in this concern. Here are some of the most complex and controversial questions on women’s ministry! Does God choose only men to lead, teach and preach? What is God’s vision for women in min-istry? What do the Bible, the Jewish Talmud and early Christian writings really mean about wom-en in ministry? Did the Apostle Paul and the early Christians dismiss the spiritual gifting of women? Are women today defying Scripture? Was Paul wrong when he wrote in I Corinthians 14:34, “Let your women keep silent in the churches, for it is not permitted unto them to speak?”

Traditional viewGod created men and women in his image. They are, therefore, equal in dignity and worth. But women are subordinate to their husbands tradi-tionally and barred from holding offices in the church of leadership over men. This is view of a large number of conservative evangelicals and Roman Catholics.

Egalitarian ViewMan and women should be regarded as equals in authority in the home and given equal access to all positions of leadership in the church. This view is held by some evangelicals.

WOMEN’S MINISTRY IN THE OLD TESTMENT ACCOUNTS

Through some scholars blame the old Testament accounts as patriarchal, the Hebrew scriptures re-

veal how a large number of women were recog-nized for great faith and faithfulness in fulfilling their part in the eternal plan of God. Sarah, the wife of Abraham, is mentioned at least 35times in the Book of Genesis alone. The heir through whom all the families of the earth shall be bless-ed (Gen 12:3) comes equally through Abraham and Sarah. Through the promise was given to Abraham that ‘promised miracle son’ was born through Sarah. Both Abraham and Sarah are eulogized by Paul and the author of Hebrews as model of faith (Rom. 4; Heb 11) Both Rebecca and Rachel are shown not as passive personali-ties but as ones who actively involved in carrying out the purposes of God through His people; they both are honored in the New testament also. Miriam, the elder Rahab, an Amorite har-lot, in saving the two spies sent by Joshua was a remarkable one and that paved the way for Josh-ua’s victory over Jericho. Through her, Boaz, who married Ruth, was born. Deborah, a prophetess and poet, become the first female ruler in Israel’s history the Lord used her to remove the fear of Barak. She judged Israel so well for 40 full years and was honoured with the title “a mother in Is-rael”. Jael, the Jewish maiden’s boldness in Kill-ing Sisera using a tent spike is well appreciated. Huldah, a later prophetess, was consulted when the lost look of the Law of God was found in the Temple. She was the one, whom Josiah sought out, rather than any male priest or prophet, to validate the authenticity of the scroll. Her pro-phetic message and the public reading of the Law initiated the first great spiritual revival and social reform in Israel’s history. The early church recog-nized her greatness. The prayer for the ordination of a deaconess in the Apostolic constitutions (4th Century AD) has the beginning as follows: “Oh eternal God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the creator of man and of women, who didst re-plenish with the sprit Miriam and Deborah, and Anna, and Huldah”. Many other women played key roles in Is-rael’s salvation history, such as Hannah, Samuel’s mother, and Esther, whose devotion to her people and personal heroism averted the total destruc-tion of her people.

Women are the source of sacrifice. When the father of our nation mahatma Gandhi was talking about women he mentioned that “Women when disrcefed in a right in able to move even maintains.” We can see an example in the scriptures too. It is Jael means (Mountain goat) or daring. We read about Jael in the 4-5th Chapters of Judges. Since the people of Israel sinned against God, He sold them into the hands of Jabin king of Canaan. His commander was sisera king Jobin had 900 Chariots and he oppressed the people of Israel for 20 years.

CHARACTER STUDY

JAEL

Jael was the wife of Heber the Kenite. Now Heber had an alliance with Jabin. But Jael was with the Israelites Jael lived in tents. She lived a nomadic life. Her family lived near the war primises, So that they could collect the broken Iron and reform it into vessels or weapons. They moved their tents now and then. But she was concern about the God of Israel and the people of Israel.

We see the fulfilment of prophecy regarding sisera that he would be handed over to a women (Jud 4:9 Jael welcomed sisera into his house voluntarily. When she found him running. She was aware that sisera was a great warrior and that he was a notaries man (Because she has seen him apprising Israelites for 20 years) She had no belief that when sisera has refreshed that he would leave her alive or without raping her she never knew that God would we her. But she did not fear her circumstances or wait for a favourable one she made the best use of the opportunity she got.

Sisera the commander of Jabin was welcomed into the house of Jael by her and was killrf while he was fast asleep. along pointed pegs were driven into the ground to keep the tents in place. The women too called do this job those days. Jael drove a peg into the forehead of the sleeping sisera By this Jael won the ma-jor part 8 the battle for Israel. Jael hand only a hammer and a peg in her hands with it she got the victory for Israel risking her own life. Ordinary peg and hammer becomes extra ordinary in simple women’s hand used by God even the time, talent, treasure in your hands will be made into blessing for many when used for God. What is in your hands? Are you willing to place at in the hand of God.

Jael committed to the will of God. And so was able to redeem the nation. She did not under es-timate what was in her hands and her ability she only had a desire that the nation must be delivered, the women of the land to be freed and wished to do some-thing for the women of her land. She acted wisely It only sisera should have got the victory then he should have misused the women in Israel. Dear child of God if you have an urge to do something great for the Lord do not wait fill a favour-able time comes look at God who has every circum-stances under His consol. Don’t give excuses about your situation for not doing God’s will in your life. See how you could make the best use of the small opportu-nities that come your way you can start a small prayer cell in your home, or can come as a fulltime mission-ary after your studies to share the love of God to those who are perishing. A nation full of opportunities is giving you a call. Will you come?We have only one life and it will soon pass away. But we do for Christ alone will remain. Are you ready to do something for the Lord. God never expects beyond your ability what only what you are able to do. You too can become a powerful tool for this nation let’s rise like Jael for the redemption of our nation!

When we think of hill stations we always think of Ooty, Kodaikanal or Yercaud. We will never get tired of visiting these places where it is filled with beau-ty and luxury. However hill stations like Kollimalai, Patchaimalai, Kalvarayan-

“TRUST AND TRIUMPH” EVELYN BRAND

malaietc are places where the people are un educated and there are no proper facilities. There are villages with no electricity even today. If it is like this today then imagine how it would have been before 130 years. But for a young girl this was her dream place. When we are forced to stay in such a place with our family then what would we do? Think about it… Evelyn was the 9th daughter of a wealthy merchant. She had a luxurious and complete life. Her father Harris did not want to leave his daughters and therefore postponed her marriage also. But she lacked nothing and was involved in the ministry as a family. Evelyn was a good painter and looked beautiful. After God’s intervention in her life she conveyed her vision to her father. Her father af-ter much hesitation finally agreed and a send off party was arranged. At her farewell party, she wore her usual finery. “She looks more like an actress than a missionary,” said someone. But Evelyn did not consider beauty and luxury important when compared to God’s will. What are you giving importance to in your life? She arrived in the year 1912 to serve in the hills of India. She had studied Homeopathy. In the year 1917, Dr. Jessie Brand had arrived in India and was involved in the ministry. He was a mentor to Evelyn in her missionary work. Though she had many options for marriage, she married Jessie Brand, who had similar callings and mission in the year 1913 and started their missionary work in Kollimalai. (Choosing the right partner for marriage is important in spiritual life. Their life is an example to that.) They did healing, educating, teaching handicrafts, ran a home for the children and widows. They also

started 12 schools in this area. They taught the gospel with a lot of love and they experienced a lot of troubles. Evelyn’s wedding ring had “Trust and Triumph” inscribed in it and it was their desire. After 16 years, in the year 1929 Jessie Brand died due to Malaria. After that Evie Brand was denied permission to go and cont inue the missionary work alone. Evelyn’s heart was burdened to go and preach the Gospel in Kollimalai, Kalvarayanmalai, Patchaimalai, Periyamalai and Chitteri Malai as her husband Jessie Brand had also desired. She was transferred to Chennai and during her holidays she camped at these hills and ministered to the young children through her paintings, did medical mission and taught scriptures in these villages. Her leg was broken and she was old, yet she used crutches to walk and go around to these hills to preach the Gospel and harvested many souls for the Lord. Her children Paul Wilson and Connie grew up with Evelyn’s sister. Though there were 7000 miles between her and her children she considered her home to be in the hills and considered these people as her own children and preached the Gospel. Her sacrifice took the Gospel beyond these five hills to other places also. She slept in the Lord at the age of 95, on December 18, 1974. She was considered old by others yet she still carried on her mission work for another 24 years till she met death and she is rightfully called the “Mother of the hill people”. She gave her youth, her wealth, her life and all she had to the Lord and she is a beautiful flower that blossomed in the desert.

Dear youngsters, your youthful days are not to be spent as you desire but it is for you

to cling to the Lord who died for you.


Yield yourself to the Lord’s will and give life to it.

It is surely a fact of inexhaustible significance that “when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a women” (Gal 4:4), Entirely without the participation of a man. God created the first Adam out of the dust of the earth but brought forth the second Adam out of the living flesh of the women (Romans 5:12-21) The curse upon Eve and her daughters was lifted through the obedience

of Mary and her son. The seed of the women, Eve had come to smash the head of the serpent and deliver all humankind from the tyranny of the law of sin and death.Women whom Jesus met: Jesus met many women during His ministry. He hot only met, He also transformed them some imprisons women are Jesus scandalized His own disciples by spending a lunch hour talking to a woman, a despised Samaritan women, and a morally disreputable women. Yet it was to this most unlikely of all women that Jesus first disclosed himself as the messiah of God. He spoke of truth vast and profound, such as women’s ears never before heard from the lips of a man. A gentile woman become the first preacher of the gospel. Through this woman’s witness, Samaria was opened up to the ministry of Jesus, which in turn, probably prepared the way for a great revival under the post-Pentecost preaching of Philip, Peter and John (Acts 8:12-17)Woman in Jesus teaching: Jesus accommodated his teaching to women by referring to objects and situations with which they were most familiar, such as, wedding feasts, lost coins, grinding corn, putting yeast in bread, bearing children By taking children into His arms and blessing them, He was assuming more of a maternal than a paternal role as it was practiced in that day.Woman who received healing from Jesus: We need in scriptures that a great multitude followed him. Some for food some for fame some to fine fault with him. But Jesus know their motivates (Ps 139:12) He even know that these that received healing from His lands would betray Him to Crucify But still he healed them. a). Jesus broke protocol by freely conversing with women. His healing touch brought release to a woman crippled for 18 years. In a religious culture where Jewish males were regularly indentified as “Sons of Abraham,” Jesus calls her a “daughter of Abraham,” much to the indignation of the synagogue official (Luke 13:10-17) Jesus did not recoil in horror when a ceremonially unclean woman touched the hem of his garment. b). On another occasion, Jesus shocked his host, a Pharisee, and the other male guests by allowing a woman of disrepute to anoint his feet with perfume and wipe them with her hair. Rathar than rebuke her, Jesus turned the occasion into an opportunity to teach a wonderful lesson about the grace of God. In so doing, Jesus broke the chains of social isolation that had cut them off from respectable society, and gave back to them dignity and respect as “children of God,” a right that was theirs by election, creation, and redemption. c). In the case of the woman taken in adultery (John 8:1-11), Jesus sets Himself against not only the male chauvinists of His day but the law of Moses itself. By saving this woman’s life, Jesus laid down the radically new principle that women are more important than the mosaic law! Furthermore, when He said, “Go, and sin no more” (V 11), He thereby declared that she had the potential of living a holy life and of fully reflecting the beautiful face of God in whose image she was created. “She whom the son sets free shall be free indeed” (John 8:32) When God created man He created male and female. Even though He created Adam first, He in all His activity showed that both male and female are equal. So God loves us, He meet us and He transforms our lives too. Have you ever met this Jesus anytime in your life? He is ready to heal yours physical and your spiritual ailment to equip you and to use you. Are you ready to meet Him?

What makes a strong woman? Is she a woman who speaks her mind freely? I’m not sure–some women who speak too much cause frustration to those around them. Is she a woman marked by her independence? Maybe, as long as her dependence is focused on God and not herself. Is she a woman who is successful in her career and home? Perhaps, if the fruit of her work can stand the test of fire from God. In the world’s view, a strong woman may not always match what God has described as a strong woman. The strongest women of faith aren’t always recognized for their sacrifices, prayers, and service to the kingdom of God. These women aren’t necessar-ily the CEOs, politicians, and activists hailed and admired by the world. Many of these women forsook earthly treasures and fame in order to do accomplish the good work of God.

We become women of strength when we trust in God in spite of life’s problems. Strong wom-en of faith don’t waiver when it gets hard. In fact, we seem to get more spiritually driven when the odds are stacked against us. Our faith and trust in God is continually strength-ened because of our commitment to the study and meditation of the Holy Scriptures.We become women of strength when we hold onto a consistent prayer life. Praying to God isn’t just over our meals or before we go to bed. We are in constant conversation with God

all day. We seek His wisdom and discernment right in the moment.Strong woman of prayer have no problem praying for others openly and immediately rather than waiting for later.We become women of strength when we re-fuse to allow the devil room in our lives.

Helen Roseveare was born in 1925 at Haileybury College (Hertfordshire, England), where her father taught mathematics. Raised in a high Anglican church, Helen’s Sunday school teacher once told their class about India, and Helen resolved to herself that she would one day be a missionary. Despite the Christian heritage of her family, and faithful attendance at church, Helen sensed a void in her life and distance from God. She enrolled in Newnham College at Cambridge University to study medicine. There she joined the Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union (CICCU) through the invitation of a student named Dorothy. She became an active participant in the prayer meetings and Bible studies, reading the New Testament for the first time. But she later said that her understanding of Christianity was more head knowledge than heart en-gagement. In the winter of 1945, the Lord seemed to have met her in a personal way during a student retreat. She gave her testimony on the final evening, and Bible teacher Graham Scroggie wrote Philippians 3:10 in her new Bible, and told her: Tonight you’ve entered into the first part of the verse, “That I may know Him.” This is only the beginning, and there’s a long journey ahead. After graduating from Cambridge with her doctorate in medicine, Helen studied for six months at the Worldwide Evangelization Crusade college at Crystal Palace. From there she went to Belgium to study French and Holland to take a course on tropical medicine as she prepared for her appointment as a medical missionary in the Congo. In mid-March of 1953, at the age of 28, she arrived at the North Eastern region of the Congo (later named Zaire). In the first two years, she founded a training school for nurses, training women to serve as nurse-evangelists, who in turn would run clin-ics and dispensaries in different regions. In October 1955, she was asked to transfer seven miles away to run an abandoned maternity and leprosy center in Nebobongo. Working with local Africans, Helen helped to trans-form the center into a hospital with 100 beds, serving mothers, lepers, and children, along with a training school for paramedics and 48 rural clinics. Outside of these facilities, there was no other medical help for 150 miles in any direction. Exhausted, Helen returned to England in 1958 for a furlough, during which she received further medical training. The Congo became in-dependent from Belgium in 1960, and civil war broke out in 1964. All of the medical facilities they had established were destroyed. Helen was among ten Protestant missionaries put under house arrest by the rebel forces for several weeks, after which they were moved and imprisoned. She describes the horror of what happened after she tried to escape: They found me, dragged me to my feet, struck me over head and shoulders, flung me on the ground, kicked me, dragged me to my feet only to strike me again the sickening searing pain of a broken tooth, a mouth full of sticky blood, my glasses gone. Beyond sense, numb with horror and unknown fear, driven, dragged, pushed back to my own houseyelled at, insulted, cursed.Her captors, she wrote, “were brutal and drunken. They cursed and swore, they struck and kicked, they used the butt-end of rifles and rubber truncheons. We were roughly taken, thrown in prisons, humil-iated, threatened.” On October 29, 1964, Helen Roseveare was brutally raped. She later recounted: On that dreadful night, beaten and bruised, terrified and tormented, unutterably alone, I had felt at last God had failed me. Surely He could have stepped in earlier, surely things need not have gone that far. I had reached what seemed to be the ultimate depth of despairing nothingness. In this darkness, however, she sensed the Lord saying to her: You asked Me, when you were first converted, for the privilege of being a missionary. This is it. Don’t you want it? . . . These are not your sufferings. They’re Mine. All I ask of you is the loan of your body. She later pointed to God’s goodness despite this great evil: Through the brutal heartbreaking experience of rape, God met with me with out-stretched arms of love. It was an unbelievable experience: He was so

utterly there, so totally understanding, his comfort was so complete and suddenly I knew I really knew that his love was unutterably sufficient. He did love me! He did understand!

In the weeks of imprisonment that followed and in the subsequent years of continued service, looking back, one has tried to “count the cost,” but I find it all swallowed up in privilege. The cost suddenly seems very small and transient in the greatness and permanence of the privilege. After returning to Africa in 1966, she soon left Nebobongo to establish a new medical center in Nyankunde in North Eastern Zaire, producing a 250-bed hospital, maternity ward, training college for doctors, a center for leprosy, and other endeavours.

There, too, she experienced several trials and rela-tional difficulties. She never claimed to see visions or hear the voice of the Lord, but she did sense him rebuking her attitude. In 1973, Helen returned to the UK for health reasons, settling in Northern Ireland. She travelled, wrote several books, and served as a missionary advocate. She went to be with her Lord, from whom she counted it a privilege to suffer, on December 7, 2016, at the age of 91.

“God never uses a person greatly until He has wounded him deeply.

The privilege He offers you is greater than the price you have to pay.

The privilege is greater than the price.”

We are leaning about King Solomon from a very young age. The words that he has written are still a treasure to us. When we refer to him as the wise King we remember him very well. He excelled in everything. His specialty was to govern his kingdom and to care and protect the people of his kingdom. The words that King Solomon spoke are true and are very practical. He has said many things about women. He has also compared women to many things. In some places he has praised them and in others he has put them down. King Solomon was sur-rounded by women. We read in the Bible that he had many wives and concubines. An average man, who has one wife, can write pages and pages of good and bad things about her. So we do not have to be surprised about the volumes that King Solomon has written about women. King Solomon has written elaborately about the virtuous woman.

“Who can find a virtuous woman?” is a challenging question but he also gives an explanation for it. Just as King Solomon said, it is very difficult to find a virtuous woman in this age. When he says that she will be worth more than Rubies, he has emphasized on her characteristics. Health, wealth and prosperity may not be last-ing. But having an excellent character is not a gift to all. The foundation for good characteristics is good thoughts. Women who think only good things and do not think of any harm to others will have an inward beauty. Just as King Solomon said, the virtuous woman will be hard working and she will be very careful in her work, she will know a lot of hand work, will not be lazy, will rise early in the morning, will earn, she will strengthen herself, will help others, will be concerned about the poor, will be careful about her house, will be responsible etc. If such a woman is also walking with the Lord then she will be more precious than a virtuous woman.

When we seek the Lord, he will teach us a lot of things and also pour his grace on us. A responsible woman should posses all the characteristics said by King Solomon.

All these could not be said by anyone except by the wise King Solomon. Probably he would have searched for a virtuous Woman! The fine woman of this age should learn to sit at the feet of the Lord and also behave like a responsible person.

When a woman is filled with love and concern then they will appear as priceless

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” – Proverbs 31:10

Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?A mother took her daughter to the kitchen to teach

her a lesson for a successful life. She took three vessels and dropped a carrot in one vessel, egg and

coffee bean in the other two vessels. The girl was looking anxiously at the vessels being heated. All three began to boil.

After a few minutes the mother took out the carrot to her daughter’s surprise the hard carrot had become soft, the hard egg

had become hard and the bean had imparted its color, aroma and the flavor all through the water. She lovingly told her

daughter that during times of adversities you should not become soft like carrot and weep nor like the egg that

became hard but should become like the coffee that gave out all that it had within to make others feel happy.

Naaman was the captain of the army under the King of Syria. He was a valiant warrior and Syria found victory through him. A little girl, who was caught to be a captive from Israel, was the maid to Naaman’s wife. We read this in II Kings 5th chapter. This little girl was caught as a captive from Israel. Her parents might have been killed in the battle. Anyway, this was a place she would have never liked. There would have been lot of hatred, grief and disappointments in her heart: new place, new culture, and new undesirable environment. At this juncture, Naaman’s wife was sharing her grief to this little girl. She understood the grief of her mistress and gave her the right counsel. Surprisingly, her mistress accepted counsel of a maid. The reason behind this is the little girl’s good behavior and the way she could adapt to this new environment.We can never change the circumstances around us. At least from now, shall we stop praying for a change in the harsh environment and rather ask HIM to change ourselves to adapt to the changing environ-ment? Instead of praying that the LORD should move away the person who troubles you, pray that the LORD will help you learn lessons, being with such tough people and to mould your character pleasing to GOD. GOD wants us to grow spiritually; to see a change in our attributes and character, sometimes the LORD allows some tough people to come our way. My dear child of GOD, do you feel disgusted about your work spot, educational place or your family? If you are a child of GOD, you should accept GOD’s will for your life for leading you to such a place. The LORD says this is my doing (I Kings 12:24). You did not land into this place accidentally but by GOD’s divine will Since this little girl won her master’s favor, her mistress came down to share her pain of her hus-band’s illness. The little girl should have done the following: 1) she should have done all the household chores sincerely 2) she should have been happy amidst the inconvenience in the new place 3) she should have shown love and care on all around her despite being a little child 4) she had a heart to return good for evil to the captain who brought her to be a captive, far from her hometown. GOD wants to see all these four attributes in HIS children. By this we reflect HIS attributes. We should walk in the path of ho-liness as HE desires. GOD not only moulds us by taking us to tough places, HE has kept many Naamans for us to bring into HIS fold. Sin is contagious as leprosy. It has power to destroy us in eternal death. In these last days, there are many Namaans struggling with the leprosy of sin and addictions that cannot be openly revealed; there are many like Naaman’s wife with great burdens in their hearts longing to share them with us. Do you have concern for such people? Are you praying for them? When they see Christ’s love in you and joy even in unfavorable situations, they will start sharing their burdens and problems with us. This will help us lead them to our Elisha- our LORD Jesus Christ. Just one immersion in the blood of Jesus Christ will set them free from the leprosy of sin. Their life will never be the same.

We too were captured by the Babylonians as slaves and were brought to Persia. But we longed to be delivered and to go back to where we came from to worship the Lord. Do you know how painful it was to stay in an enemy nation and unable to worship the Lord? Interviewer: oh is it! How sad to hear this. Queen Esther: Right at this situation I got an opportunity to become the queen. My intention was right and so I didn’t have to be too anxious much. So that paved the way for me to become the queen. Since it was the will of the Lord I could find favour in the eyes of the King. Interviewer: You became the queen already and why were you

not happy and you began to worry even after that?Queen Esther: How would you think I should have been happy when my people’s lives were at a risk? My people’s problem isn’t it mine too?Interviewer: Sorry I dint get you. Can you explain a little?Queen Esther: This evil man Haman cast a lot (Pur) to set a date to finish us from the little ones to the elderly. The lot fell on Adar the twelfth month of the year.Interviewer: Oh Haman! I read in papers few days back that the noto-rious man was hanged. How did that happen?Queen Esther: Yes he is the same person when my cousin Mordecai came to meet me the other day He informed me that the Jews were in trouble and that Haman had pre-destined a date to wipe us out. I was panic stricken. But my cousin got angry with me and he told me something that made that made me think. He said “the Lord would have made you a queen at this particular period may to deliver His people out this wicked man’s hand. So if you remain silent now the deliver-ance may come from some other place”. But I was in a situation were I wasn’t allowed to go to the presence of the king unless he had called me. Interviewer: what did you decide in this critical situation?Queen Esther: I prayed. Yes I fasted three days along with my maids. Then I went to the king’s presence on the third day. Interviewer: How did you feel when you were standing at the presence your husband? Did he accept you?Queen Esther: I took small steps towards the king. My heart was pound-ing quickly. I couldn’t concentrate on the palace ambience or the people present there. My eyes were totally on the one who had to pity my people.

Because, it was a life and death situation for our people. I was surprised to see the king stretch out the scepter towards me. I thankfully touched the edge of it. His look had a thousand loving messages to commu nicate to me. I felt at ease when he promised to give even a half of his kingdom. Interviewer: Wow superb! Did you tell your plea at once? Queen Esther: No! I dint. I was waiting for the right opportu nity to prove that his advisor was a wrong person with a wrong motive. I didn’t tell him anything there. I just invited the king for the banquet and requested Haman to join too. Interviewer: Did the king and Haman come for the banquet. Did you tell him your plea?Queen Esther: No. I impressed him so much with different dishes that the king usually relishes on. I invited them for the second day too. Interviewer: You are the best example for the women in handling a stressful situation so patiently.Queen Esther: Yes Patience is a valuable character that must be practiced in one’s life. Though I was anxious and just wanted to pour out all that was burdening me to the king I dint react. But I felt I need to handle the situa-tion with utmost care. Because it was life for a great comm unity.

Yes dear readers Prov; 25 :15 say “with patience a ruler

may be persuaded…” let’s find whether GOd blessed Esther’s

wisdom and patience. To be continued…

Interview with

Queen Esther

In the Book of Acts, Luke explains the role and importance of women in his account of the Early Church, often links women together with men (Acts 1:12-14) Women waited with the men in Jerusalem for the promised Holy Spirit (Acts 1:12-14) Peter proclaims that the promised sprit will be poured out upon men and women and that both shall prophesy (Acts 2:17-18) The tragic story of Anania’s and Shapphira’s deception is told, with the husband succumbing to the some judgment as his wife (Acts 5:1-11) Luke is careful to point out that great numbers of both men and women were being constantly added to the church (Acts 14) Women must have been effective evangelists, for Luke records that Saul of tarsus pursued and persecuted both “Men and Women” (Acts 8:3, 9:2), Phillip baptized men and women believers in Samaria(Acts 8:12) Peter preached at Antioch in Asia Minor, not only did leading men of the city rise up to throw him out, but devout Jewish women did as well (Acts 13:50) Paul began his ministry in Lystra by healing a lame man, and Philippi by curing a demon-possessed girl (Acts 14:8-18, 16:16-34), In Thessalonica, a great number of the Greek men and leading women were persuaded to join Paul (Acts 17: 1-4). Likewise, in Berea, both Greek men and women examined the scriptures daily to see whether Paul’s message was true, and they become believers(Acts 17:10-12) In Athens, Dionysius the Areopagite and a women named Damaris were among the believers (Acts 17:34) Aquila, and his wife, Priscilla, become his hosts and coworkers at Corinth (Acts 18:1-4). Not only is Agabus the prophet mentioned, but also mentioned are Philip’s four daughters who were prophetesses (Acts 21:9-10) Luke is careful to note that after his imprisonment, Paul makes his defense and shares his testimony with both Felix and Drusilla, and later with both Agrippa and Bernice (Acts 24:24; 25:13;23; 26:30).

WOMEN MINISTRY IN THE

EARLY CHURCH

Luke makes it abundantly clear that, because of Christ, all walls separating race, social class, and gender are being torn down within the Body of Christ. Women, as well as men, are recipients of the grace of God and equally share in all aspects of life together in the church. So when Paul wrote that “there is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male nor female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28) The first Christian preachers of the Resurrection were not men, but women! To the women who had come to the tomb early on that historic first day of the week that the angels first appeared. It was these women who first heard the good news, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He has been raised, as He said” (Matthew 28:5-6). It was to these women that the first expression of the Great Commission was given: “Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead”(28:7) The disciples responded with disbelief at first and wrote the Resurrection proclamation off as “an idle tale” (Luke 24:11) Not so the women; they not only believed without doubting but immediately began to broadcast the good news of the resurrected Christ (Matthew 28:8) One may ask the question, “Why, then did Jesus choose and send out on preaching missions only male apostles?” the answer is clear that the limitations women faced in the 1st century world. Limitations related to the cultural, social and religious context of that time. However, the predominance of male leaders in the community of disciples represented God’s gracious accommodation of Himself inspite of the social structures and conventions of the world into which the Gospel originally come.

- Mrs.Lydia Sudarshan

The first woman missionary sent by FMPB was Mrs. Padma Hilton. She is very special to us. She was born in a humble family and took up teaching as her profession. She consecrated her life to be missionary when she attended the Gideonite camp organized by FMPB in1967. She began her ministry with her husband. She is the one who turned challenges into victories: Mrs. Padma Hilton did not have a place to stay when she began her ministry in the hilly region of Peri-yamalai. So, she stayed in Bethel, Danishpet and worked as a teacher involving herself in children’s ministry. Even now in the year 2012, it requires a strenuous journey of 31 Km from Periyamalai to Thenkanikottai to get any form of medical aid. It’s amazing to see the boldness of heart of this dear sister who was rearing her second son in such a lonely place 45 years back. There are many untold miseries she had undergone, solved only by leaning on GOD. How are you? We see that our dear sister prayed fervently to the LORD to receive grace from HIM and won the battles she faced. In 1967, the salary received by every missionary was Rs. 50. They lived a life of content with the money they received. How about you?: Mrs. Padma Hilton lived in the deserted places of Periyamalai. It’s a place where elephants haunt now and then. Periyamalai was void of current supply, bus facility, hospitals, telephone, facilities like cycles or bikes. Mrs. Padma Hilton prayerfully brought up all her four children. All her children are involved in ministry in propagating HIS Word. In these days where people go af-ter hoarding wealth for their children, this dear sister has grown up children who seek GOD’s will and abide by HIS Word. There was a time when Sis. Padma Hilton gave her gold chain to her husband to sell it out to meet the needs in the ministry. Her testimonial life literally shook me. What is your sacrifice for GOD?

This is how she lived a life of sacrifice, giving up all her pleasures to take the Word of GOD to the unreached. She

chose the portion that will not be taken from her. What is your decision?

Though raised and educated in a Jewish society that treated women as subhuman, he makes a radical departure from the narrow limits of his rabbinic training as “a Pharisee” (Phil 3:5) It is astonishing to see how often Paul did refer to women and in what high esteem he held them. Both Abraham and Sarah were equally impotent. Yet both equally believed the promise of God and equally shared in the subsequent joy over the birth of their son, Isaac (4:19-21). Along with the author of Hebrews, Paul celebrates Sarah as model of great faith (Heb 11:8-12) Most revealing is Paul’s long list of greetings and commendations in the last chapter. First mentioned is not a man but a woman, Phoebe, to whom he entrusted the delivery of the letter to the Romans. He gives her an official recommendation as well as an endorsement of her ministry. (2 Cor. 3:1-2), by addressing her as “our sister.... a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea” (Romans 16:1) Paul wants to communicate that phoebe is more than someone who waits on tables. Neither is she a “deaconess,” but just as much a full and respected minister of the word as, for instance, Timothy or Titus, or even Paul himself Paul greets “Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus” (Rom 16:3) He does not greets them as “my fellow worker and his good wife, Prisca.” Paul mentions prisca (Priscilla) first, this may indicate that she was the stronger leader of the two. Both equally shared in ministerial leadership of “the church that is in their house” (V5) Paul greets “Mary who was worked very hard among you” (16:6) The verb “work” or “labour,” which he uses of Mary is the same used elsewhere to speak of ministerial labor in the gospel. Mary may well have had oversight of some important ministry in the church at Rome.

Paul greets “Andronicus and Junia (Not “Junias,” I, my relatives who were in prison with me; they are prominent among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was” (16:7) this may well have been another husband-and-wife team. What is of special interest is to note that both Andronicus and Junia were “in Christ” before Paul and “are prominent among the apostles.” This is solid evidence that women were included in the wider apostolic circle by virtue of having seen the Lord, and Junia was prominent among them. “Greet Tryphaena and Tryphos, workers in the Lord. Greet Persis the beloved, who has worked hard in the Lord” (16:12, NASB). As with Mary in verse 6, all three of these women were engaged in ministerial activity. Paul is not afraid to express deep-felt emotions of appreciation to women who he speaks of persis as “beloved” that verse also indicates his warm relations with women when he says, “Greet Rufus, a choice man in the Lord, also his mother and mine” (v. 13, NASB). Since Paul does not identify Rufus as his physical brother, he is probably indicating that Rufus’ Mother was like a mother to him.Paul’s attitude toward women in Romans: 1. First, men and women alike are under the sway of sin and the wrath of God, and both are equal recipients of the grace of salvation. 2. Second, women as well as men have been chosen by God to play key roles in the unfolding of salvation history. 3. Third, Women shared equally, with men, in the work of Christian ministry. They exercised leadership roles in the earliest Church and may have even been numbered among the original apostolic circle. In this view of women, Paul distanced himself radically from the traditional bias of his Jewish upbringing.

Kaizen means improvement. This is a Japanese word. This denotes the continuous improvement in our personal life, family life, social life, work life, or industrial life and spiritual life. That is it denotes the various dimensions and the continuous improvement in our life. There is no body who does not like to have improvement is in his life. But those who plan and improve are only a handful. Japanese tremendous economical growth‘s secret is kai-zen. This word is often used in Japan. Everywhere and in everything Kaizen is there. Japanese find ways of continuous improvement in their work, like how easily could it be done, how to reduce the time consumed, and how to do the work with less expense. Most of you wash your clothes on Saturdays and Sundays. Let us think that on an average atleast one hour to do this work. But if you follow Kaizen you can save up to 15 minutes How to do Kaizen? To do Kaizen you have to think how you are doing that work. You have to make a note of all the work that you are doing. Then you ask the question. That is 5W and 1H

does that work?

is being done?

is it done?

is it done? is it done?

If you ask questions like this in our day to day life, we come up with new ideas for (eg) Who would do that work? The answer could be, we will do it or we can ask someone to do it or two people can do it together or my friend would do it for a week and my brother for one week etc.

Let us see another example. Before you wash your vessels ask questions like, how am I going to do it? What cleaning powder would I use? Where will I get the water and how much water will I need to rinse the vessels? At the end you would be spending less time since you have already planned the work. We can also think about our spiritual life? How is my spiritual life now? How is my relationship with God? How can I make it more meaningful? Can I allot some time to pray with my friends? Can I get up half an hour early and spend my time with God? Can I watch CDs of God’s people’s messages? What Kaizen can I do. If you do like this you will see improvement in your spiritual life. If the Japanese economy increased because of Kaizen, our quality of life will also improve.
