GOOD WOMEN IN JESUS’ LIFE



If a good and gracious woman truly loves you and she has God’s Spirit and God’s Love in her, she will play an amazing role in your life and your mission.

If a noble and goodhearted woman loves you, she will go to lengths to support you wholeheartedly.

Several women invested their time, energy and material or physical resources in the life of Jesus while he was physically here on Earth as a man.

It is recorded in the Scripture that certain amazing women actively supported Jesus' ministry, both financially and emotionally, by following him and providing for his needs from their own resources.

Below is a list of women who played a significant role in the life and mission of the Lord himself.


1. Mary Magdalene:

She was a prominent figure, who was healed by Jesus of seven demons, and among the women who followed and supported him. A very devoted follower, she was present at Jesus' crucifixion and burial, and was the first witness to his resurrection. 


2. Joanna:

She was the wife of Chuza, who was a household manager of Herod Antipas. She supported Jesus and his disciples financially and materially.


3. Susanna:

She, along with the other women, provided for Jesus and his disciples out of her own resources. She followed him from one city and village to another, serving him and his disciples.


4. Mary, mother of James and Joses:

She is mentioned in the Bible as being among the women who ministered to Jesus. She was one of the women who followed Jesus from Galilee and supported him. She was also present at his crucifixion.


5. Salome:

This is the mother of James and John who was also present at his crucifixion. She is recorded as one of the women who followed and ministered to Jesus. 


6. Martha and Mary of Bethany:

They were sisters of Lazarus, and were devoted followers of Jesus. Mary was known for listening attentively to Jesus and Martha for her hospitality. While not explicitly mentioned as financial supporters, Martha and Mary of Bethany are considered important figures in Jesus' life, demonstrating their love and devotion to him.


7. The Samaritan Woman:

After the remarkable encounter Jesus had with the Samaritan woman, whose name was not mentioned in the Scripture, she became a believer and a joyful witness of his who shared her faith with others, and was instrumental in reaching her entire community.


8. Other Women:

The synoptic books of the Gospel state that there were "many other women" who had accompanied Jesus and supported his ministry. This highlights the very important role that women had played in his life and work while he walked the Earth.


Conclusion:

God has a place for everyone who makes themselves available for noble purposes.

The power or potential of good women needs to be recognized and reactivated in this generation.

SUPPORT NOT SUPPLANT

  Do we have genuine connections? I’ll give a quick definition of the word supplant. So I can dwell more on the concept of support. To supplant means to take the place of, to displace, to replace or to undermine.  To support is to be actively interested in and concerned for the success of a person or thing, for example: supporting a particular sports team. It also means to provide assistance to, or give approval, comfort, or encouragement to.  It is a product of goodwill and belief in someone or something.  Many of us support different football teams which we gladly and passionately refer to as “our teams”. Observe the enthusiasm, excitement and in some cases excessive zeal or fanaticism with which we promote, defend and celebrate people who do we not personally know, or an enterprise from which we may not even earn a single penny or cent—except for those who are into sports betting.  That’s the power of connection. That’s the power of camaraderie. That’s the po...

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f...

OPEN LETTER TO EX AND WARNING TO SINGLES

WARNING TO SINGLES ASPIRING TO MARRIGE AND OPEN LETTER TO AN UNSCRUPULOUS EX To whom it may concern. Don’t marry a man whose leadership, integrity, vision, commitment to and love for you you don’t trust and afterwards rebel against his authority.  Don’t marry a woman who doesn’t meet your standards or requirements, who is not committed to you, who pretends a lot, is deceitful, inauthentic, lacks healthy self-image and is led by or under the control of third parties or public expectation. Marriage is for adults.  Don’t let your parents or peers choose your spouse for you when you are not really into that person or if your values don’t align. Don’t be desperate to get married. Take responsibility for your choice.  Don’t also pretend before marriage so that your target marital candidate chooses you.  If you have already defaulted in these areas and married wrongly, hold yourself accountable and don’t put the blame on one person. Do not deploy sinister schemes to make th...
