Six Faith-Tied Relatives of Mine
By virtue of faith-relationship with God
along spiritual blood line midst redemption genes
I claim that through Scripture truths
my divine heritage is beautified
through these Bible characters
regarded as blessed women.
1. EVE (Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.)
Without this Earth’s first lady
I would not have this physical body
to enjoy God’s goodness with somebody
and share His grace with everybody.
2. SARAH (Genesis 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.)
Inspired by her rigorous journey height
experiencing miraculous might
giving birth at age 90 years old; that’s right…
I’m driven to obey the Lord with delight.
3. DEBORAH (Judges 4:14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee?...)
Displaying gracious woman-empowerment
numbered among the prophetess with heroic engagement
she provided direction from the Almighty’s enlightenment
influencing my decisive ministerial involvement.
4. HANNAH (1Samuel 2:1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.)
In her example of prayerfulness’ fervency
wholeheartedly dependent in the Creator’s mercy
believing that He can do the impossible in His potency…
my spirit is exhorted to trust the Saviour for my sufficiency.
5. ESTHER (Esther 4:16 …I also and my maidens will fast likewise; … and if I perish, I perish.)
Her “If I perish, I perish” determination-impact
indeed propels me to overcome quitting along race tract
along her purposeful focus toward deliverance pact
helping others toward freedom fulfillment’s contract.
6. MARY (Luke1:38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.)
The mother of Jesus Christ in the flesh, truly blest
she yielded herself as handmaid of the Lord, giving all her best
serving along faithful stewardship and worship to the fullest…
such influences my steadfastness against “mothering” test.
Being heavenly tied to these six women
who are my spiritual relatives, I thank the Almighty
worshipping Him, midst my supplication
to help me become the lady
He wants me to with His prudence
in life-building ministry. Amen!
