Episode Four ARE WOMEN REALLY THE WEAKER SEX?

 

One of the misguided ideas about women is that they are weaker sex than men and that is not true. Thou the Bible says that they are physically weaker (1 Peter 3:7), but it never indicates that they are weaker in any other way.

Do not let that wrong mind-set take hold of you. You can do whatever you need to do in life. The world is filled with single mothers whose husbands walked out on them and refuse to support their children financially. These mummy are giants in my eyes, they work hard and try to be both mummy and daddy to their children.

Men who merely walk away need to remember that strength does not walk away, but it works through situations and takes responsibility.

Some men think that if a woman is a stay-at home mummy and homemaker that she does nothing all day. These types of men lack knowledge. Raising a family, taking care of a man and being a good homemaker is a full-time job that requires overtime with no overtime pay. I applaud the stay-at-home mummy’s especially those who do their job with joy. You are my heroes!!!

Worldwide history has not been fair with women.

No one could possibly wish to underestimate the influence of women in keeping the home and raising children. Where history has not been “Fair” is in failing to record the outstanding achievements of women in areas generally thought to be dominated by men; government, politics, business, religion and science. 

 

Men have received credit in these fields but fail to report on the women who have succeeded in them.  This is also part of the record that needs to be set for the women whom has made great accomplishment.

Let’s take a look at few women who proved everyone wrong. Some of these are well-known and some are not.

Mrs  Margaret Thatcher

Mrs. Kute Anikulapo

Mrs. Elizabeth 1

Mrs. Simbiatu Abiola

Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune

Mrs. Lezzy Benson

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt

Mrs. Akinyuii

Mrs. Okonji Ewalah

Mrs. Elizabeth Fry

(7) SEVEN SECRETS OF A CONFIDENT WOMAN---

Episode Two

Every cause has an effect. If some women are confident while other are not, there must be reasons. 

1.        Awareness of being loved.

A confident woman knows that she is loved; she does not fear being unloved, because she knows that God loves her unconditionally.  I encourage you to concentrate on those who do love you and let go about those who do not. God certainly does love us.

2.       Rejection of Fear.

          A confident woman refuses to live in fear. “I will not fear” is the only acceptable attitude we can have toward fear.  That does not mean that we will never feel fear, but it does mean that we will not allow it to rule our decisions and actions. Fear is not from God. Unless we make a firm decision to fear not, we will never be free from the power of it. I encourage you to be firm in your resolve to do whatever you need to do. 

3.       Positive Insight

          A confident woman is positive and has nothing to do with negativity. They are like oil and water; being positive or negative is a choice- it is a way of thinking, speaking and acting from our habits. It has been said that 90% of what we worry about never happens. 

4.       Recovers from Failures

          We don’t need to see setbacks as failures. A person is not a failure because she tried something that did not work out. She fails only when she stops trying. A confident woman is not afraid to make mistakes, and if she does, she recovers and presses on. Not letting the past dictate your future is part of the confident lifestyle.

 

5.       Avoids comparisons.

          Comparisons can destroy the power of confidence in us. No matter how good, talented or smart, successful we are, there is always someone that is better and sooner or later we will run into them. Confident is found in doing the best we can with what we have.

6.       Woman of Action.

          They are two types of people on the world. The ones who wait for something to happen and the ones who make something happen. Some people are naturally shy, while others are naturally bold, but with God on our side we can live in the supernatural not the natural. We all have something to overcome----

A naturally shy person must overcome anxiety, timidity, the temptation to withdraw from challenges and low confidence while 

A naturally bold person has to overcome pride, excessive aggression and false confidence.

If a person is naturally introverted or extroverted, she will always have greater tendencies towards that natural trait and that is not wrong, as stated God create all of us different. 

7.       Doubting Thought (If, Only, And What If)

The world is filled with people who feel empty and unfulfilled, because they have spent their lives bemoaning what they did not have, instead of using what they do have. Do not live in the Tran of “if only”. If only I had more education, money, opportunity or someone to help me, etc.  Rather use the little you to God’s glory, He will use it and give you back more than that you gave. PROVERBS 31:10-31, JAMES 1:5-8.
