Amiable Qualities Of Strong Women In Christ

By Donald Cooper


God created women at the end of his other creations to help man and to be a companion to him. The first woman was Eve but after that, there have been many others who have been strong on the word of God. Some examples of strong women in Christ which are made known to us in the Bible are Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, Ruth, the prophetess Deborah and many others. These ones have some admirable qualities which young ladies of today would love to have.

One of them is that they dressed decently. Every woman who claims to be in Christ must dress in nice apparel. They must not dress to expose parts of their body for the fear of luring men and leading them to fornicate in their heart. Christ said that even in the heart, adultery can be done (Matthew 5:28).

The way she behaves is praiseworthy too. Thus, her dressing is not the only mark of her devotion to God as is the case with other women today. She cannot give attention to any other man apart from her husband. She tries to avoid anything at all that will make her feel far away from the Holy Spirit.

A strong woman will always say the truth without considering the negative consequences of it. She is known for this in the office so her boss will prefer giving a job to a less qualified person provided he can cook the records. She does not mind if being sincere will make her poor for life because her greatest reward is not money but a mansion in God's Kingdom.

Moreover, she is gentle and quiet. A strong woman that is in Christ has a humble spirit. She does not want to show that she is capable of doing certain things until she sees that there is a big need for them. She is not in a hurry to handle the microphone to speak in the church but she delivers so well when given the task. She advises both young ladies and men to be like Christ.

She is not a hypocrite, being known only outside as a good person and not at home. Instead, her husband continuously gives her praise and he is not ashamed to be identified with her in public. Happy are her children for they shall always rejoice. These strong women are typical examples of what Proverbs 31:10-31 says about virtuous women.

A strong woman in the Lord is always looking out for the needy to help them. She prepares meals for her servants and asks of the whereabouts of her friends just so that she can come in to help them where she can. She joins the church for hospital and prison ministration.

A strong woman in Christ remains strong by worshipping the Lord daily. She always gets up to pray and to study the scriptures even before the rest of her family is set to do that. She is a Christian, not just in word, but in practice. She is like a lamp on the hill that cannot be hidden.
