How sisters can build a churchThe speaker reflects on a wonderful morning message about how sisters can build a church, addressing the common thought that only brothers do the speaking and public work.
Praying for husbands in a small homeSisters who came to Christ started meeting and praying together in one sister's house while their husbands were at work, praying that their husbands would soon come to know the Lord's joy.
Constructing the meeting hall with their own handsAs the group grew, they needed a larger hall, and even wealthy sisters who usually did not touch a broom helped lift bricks and worked alongside laborers to build the meeting place.
What does it mean to be a wise woman?Moving from physical building to spiritual truths, the morning message taught how a wise woman can build her house, correcting the speaker's earlier wrong understanding of wisdom.
Rejecting worldly ideas of successThe speaker previously thought wisdom meant studying hard, getting good grades, landing a good job, and managing a home cleverly with good curtains and money management.
Wisdom that comes from aboveTrue divine wisdom is not found in any school or college, but comes from God in heaven, and as James says, we receive it by asking God when we lack it.
Submitting to God's orderA wise woman subjects herself to God's commands and order, showing the world how Jesus was obedient to God through her own submission.
Our calling to a life of obedienceSisters have a great calling to live a life characterized by a spirit of obedience, which works both in the church and in the home.
The home as a small churchJust as a wife is submissive to her husband and a home functions as a small church through obedience, the same principles apply within the larger church body.
Using every opportunitySisters have received this wonderful calling and opportunity, and they should use every single chance to live it out as God blesses each one.
