LADIES THE CHOICE IS YOURS

By Dr. Sterling Lands, II

Women have the awesome responsibility of nurturing, comforting and supporting. They should not take this responsibility lightly.
To nurture is to provide loving care. It is the act of nursing and providing training and upbringing. To nurture is to also shape the belief system of the young and influence the not so young.
To comfort is to give strength and hope. It is to ease grief or trouble and provide consolation when troubled or worried.
To support is to promote the interest or cause of another. It is to uphold or defend and to sacrifice. It is to hold up and serve as a foundation and try to keep someone from fainting, yielding or losing courage or giving up.
What God expects of women is not something beyond their capabilities. God is not unrealistic in His expectations. He is a loving Father who has reasonable expectations, so His children will respond to Him in faithfulness and loving obedience.
We live in a world where there is very little nurturing, comforting or supporting going on, except for self interest. There are many who give to receive and love to be loved in return. That is the attitude of a degenerate society and will not have a long sustain life. It is like whoredom. You can not build a family based on whoredom.
We have before us today the choice between live and death. Acting in ones self interest is the surest means to destroying the family. However, acting in the interest of others is an effective means of promoting the family.
You can choose to nurture the children around you with the attitude, or you can have a hard bitter and un-nurturing attitude of destruction, and destroy every child you come in contact. Un-nurtured children have a hard time maturing and they fill the prison system.
Married women your husband needs a wife, not a husband. You can comfort your man or turn the back to his need. The compare, compete and control spirits becoming the norm in society, will destroy the best of homes unless women of high moral character take a stand for righteousness.
You can support your mate, children, and others by demonstrating the spirit of the renewed woman unto life, or you can close your eyes and let them fall victim to our unbelief. The choice is yours, life or death, blessings or curses. Now choose life, so you and your children may live!
Just think about what the impact would be on the lives of future generations, if women were treated with respect and honor. The woman could willingly submit to a husband’s headship, if she knew he was going to take care of his business and provide, protect and be willing to die for her. A loved and cherished woman is special. The challenge is getting to that position. Ladies wait on your right mate, and don’t give up the gold unless he wants the whole mine. The choice is yours.
Women train your daughters to be character centered ladies of distinction. Teach them to treasure and be treasured. And remind them a man able to buy a license before he drives a car and fish or hunt, surely must have a marriage license before he has sex with her. Ladies the choice is yours.
