HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div
“Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?” (Romans 11:35).
The Christian women of the world have it in their power, by a very little sacrifice, to add millions to the treasury of the Lord.
Beloved sisters, have you found the joy of sacrifice for Jesus? Have you given up something that you might give it to Him? Are you giving your substance to Jesus? He will take it, and He will give you a thousandfold more.
I should rather be connected with a work founded on great sacrifice than on enormous endowments.
The reason God loved the place where His ancient temple rose in majesty was because where Abraham offered his son and David his treasure. The reason redemption is so dear to the Father and the heavenly world is because its foundation-stone is the Cross of Calvary.
And the Christian life that is dearest to the heart of God, and will rise to the highest glory and usefulness, is the one whose founding principle is sacrifice and self-renunciation. This is why the Master teaches us to give, because giving means loving, and love is but another name for life.
My beloved sisters in the Lord this pie is not for the men alone. The women of old and in this present day have and are contributing to the work of the Lord and as we approach the period of time when the world celebrates “Mothers Day” I will highlight some of the great women of the Bible to show the contribution. I want throughout this year to focus on the contributions of godly and saintly women. Hannah, Vashti, Esther, Mary and Rahab to name a few. This is the lead up to the celebrations of Mother’s Day 2020. This is your opportunity to shine and I want you to know that you are important in Ministry. So this writer wants to honour all women and pray God’s blessings on each of you.
