Fighting the right way

You need to see this awesome movie! Dimma said. I started wondering what made her so excited about the movie. After so much battling with sleep that night, i finally woke up by am and the first thing that struck me was, "You need to see this awesome movie". Although it was Sunday morning, i didn't think about church, i just settled in the sofa and hit the PLAY button.

10 minutes into this movie, i had tears rolling down my cheeks(i cry when i watch movies actually)* lol. It struck me, THE POWER OF A PRAYING WOMAN. By a woman, i don't mean only married women, i mean every woman(single and married). What most women don't realize is how powerful they are. We are caught up by fears, low self-esteem, people's expectations of the way our lives would play out, rejection from guys, fears of being single, fear of loosing our husbands, fear of not being part of a certain circle of people.t.c. And this has made us not to realize how much power we have. Look at the women in the scripture, read their stories (Esther, Judith, Ruth and lots of them), you realize how powerful women can be. We need to tap into that power, each and everyone of us.  Most times, we are overwhelmed by the pressures from work, family, etc; and we respond by fighting ourselves or our family or in extreme cases, challenge God in strange ways. What we don't realize is that the fight isn't for us. We need to go God who does the fighting for us. He made us to understand in (2nd Chronicles 7:14) what exactly he expects us to do. Sometimes, this pressures makes us to ask if God is watching, the truth is that, He's ever there, everyday, watching us, loving us, waiting for us to come to him to tell him our problems, to tell him to console us, to give us inner peace. We can't say that doctors do not exist on earth, because when we are sick, we go to the hospital to see them. We should do same for God. We should go to God when we are happy, sad, feeling down, feeling rejected, when people hurt us, because he knows who to fight. He knows the only way the devil gets to him is from hurting you, and he will make everything possible. It doesn't matter how  far your sins have led, it doesn't matter what people say about, what matters is that God loves you and his arms are wide open to anchor you and help you fight your pressures, fears, hurts, rejection the right way.

I will end by putting this quote by ;

Thanks to Chidimma for making me see that movie (WAR ROOM). If you haven't seen it, you need to catch it. It will transform you
