Preface

Life is for a purpose: meaning ,relevance, fruits,excellence, glory and fulfilment. Genesis 1: 1-29. And, as a Child of God you must know who you are; position in Christ, value and Worth, responsibility and expectation, purpose and way to achieve it. Though our purpose details and natural endowment may be different, I want to assure you that you a new creation, redeemed in Christ Jesus and ultimately for fellowship and glory with God.

And, as a Woman within the Family, Marriage, Society, proffessional engagement and ultimately the  Local Assembly of God’s children (the Church) you must be able to answer this question; Who Are You? Your value, gifts, advantages, life goals, purpose, challenges and devotional responsibilities?

Psychologists say that most women receive their self-image and self-worth from their Father and also their Husband. The affirmations they receive builds them up or tears them down. This is why it’s so important to date and marry a Positive Christian Man who keeps Jesus first in their life and loves their wife as Christ loves the Church.

That is O.K! But I want you to know that it is God that should and ultimately would determine your happiness and completeness, not any Man!

The same can go for men. However, most receive their self-esteem and self-image from their careers and accomplishments and then from their spouse BUT foremost must be God. We are the glory and joy of God if we continue to delight Him as obedient and available children. He in turn, in His faithfulness and through the comforts of His Holy Spirit gives us a worth, the right self-esteem and grace for excellence. God loves us so much. John 3:16, we are more than Gold and more precious than silver to Him, who is our praise.

I have being watching the gender discrimination and the abuse meted out on Women and Womanhood. I was inspired to write on this theme and this book because I am persuaded God wants you to discover His Mind: what God and Jesus Christ thinks about you and what was on His mind when He created the first Woman and Womanhood, from the Scriptures.

Today, Many women are confused and frustrated at the way the society and the Church Men have reduced women to just a property and sexual objects yet they are the binding force and light of our homes. They frown at Women pastors, Bishops and Professionals!

For Many years of my life, I experienced regular depression and hopelessness. Later, as God drew me into a closer walk with Him and I began seriously studying His Word, I learned that I didn't have to follow every feeling and thought that I had. Joyce Meyer.

Who would you believe, God or Man? You are in your World and that which is created by God not a Man’s World simply because the Bible say Man was created first and you are to be a helpmate. We are both working for God’s purpose, complete in Him - being a Man and being a Woman.

The brain of a human is not located in the muscles; so women don't need to be muscular like men, in order to be wise, be a leader or to be professionally competent. Man should be Manly, Woman should be Womanly!

Therefore, I want to challenge you to be in Him [God], in His Word and His Word You . Hence, You become the Mind of God not the Man’s: God’s beauty - His Manifest Wisdom and Glory, created for favour, fruitfulness, honour and glory. I pray and intend through this book that you discover or be strengthened to fulfil your purpose, find your happiness, value, love, rest and destiny in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

Without doubt, Jesus Christ and Christianity has influenced greatly and positively the status, education, opportunities and exploits of women in our Society of today and in the Church environment. I intend to intimate you with the mind of God as in the Scriptures about your true position, purpose and value in your home, family, career, the body of Christ and within the Society. You will discover God's provisions to ensure the success of His purpose for you! Its not a Man's World, its yours too! It is not a Man’s Bible, it is yours too!

And, you will learn how to be in God’s mind through Prayers, excelling and virtue (abiding in Him and always in His rememberance and favour).

Also, how to have the mind of Christ which balances our thoughts World enabling us to control our thoughts, imaginations and make the best use of its dynamics and power. And, also enables us to live victoriously, soundly (mental, emotional and spiritual) and fruitfully within God’s expectation, Will, purpose and lawful bound of the Holy Spirit, fulfilling YOU!

I recommend this for every family, young men and women.

God bless you as you read on. Amen.
