WOMEN MINISTRY IN THE CHURCH

Titus 2:3-5; Exodus 15:1, 20-21; Ephesians 5:18 Psalms 71:9

Christian women in all our churches must be actively involved in the fulfilment of the great commission. In fact, there are great potentials and abilities reserved in the lives of women who are wholly consecrated unto the lord. Women ministry in the church should affect the spiritual and physical welfare of the women, young girls and the children who must be reached through teaching and counselling (Titus 2:3-5). In addition, Christian women should not be wanting  in the singing ministry like Miriam and Deborah of old (Exodus 15:20-21; Judges 5:1-2). God`s call on Christian women, especially the aged, as keepers at home should fit them for the ministry of intercession, praying  for the ministers and members of our churches (Acts 1: 12 – 17). We can follow the steps  of Jesus as our example in this ministry of intercession for the church. The intercessory ministry of the Holy Spirit in us should aid in the fulfilling of this ministry.

Visitation as a ministry among Christian women is invaluable to foster love, care and growth in our churches. The aged women in our midst should be borne in mind in this regard. Women leaders in the church should look weel  to the general welfare of the womenfolk, including widows. The young ladies who need to get married need the attention of women leaders and mothers. The youths and children must not be neglected.
