Читать книгу This Incredible Creation Called Woman - David Medley - Страница 2

God, the excellent creator of every life and the world, made all things without mistake. There was neither amendment nor problem. He saw the importance of man that He had to create him in His own image and resemblance. Adam, the first man, was in the garden for a long time. But he wasn't an ally to any living thing on earth. There was no equal for him. There was no companion when he felt lonely. Things were running out of hand because there was no helper. God was worried about the state of man. He tested animals, especially the dog, but to no avail. He tried the water and non-living things but failed. God had to commend a woman. God designed woman and beautified her with relevant and expansive qualities. Woman was made from the rib of a man (part). Immediately, when Adam had a harbinger of song, he woke from a deep slumber and discovered a treasure, a splendid lifeform worth more than gold. Adam said, "This is the bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh". Adam saw what is beyond human description in the woman God created for him; he had to claim her quickly before God changed His mind. God made her so wonderfully that the least thing in her is more costly than silver. She is created to be important to man.

The pride or glory of a woman is the affectionate and great exquisiteness, like the elegance of a sunset, which has special cause for delight, respect, or happiness more than the glories of nature and the lilies that God alleged in a woman for his pleasure. God made women to have more glory in their outward show, resulting from their work and a sense of dignity and respect for themselves. Pride is a feeling of pleasure of satisfaction that one gets from being responsible for something excellent or widely admired, the knowledge of one’s own worth or character. Glory can still be a pleasant and enjoyable quality when it becomes an adjective, glorious. Women were made to appear better or nobler than they really are.

Among all people on earth, only Solomon in the Holy Scripture was able to discover the astonishing glory and gorgeousness of a woman. Women are circled with glory, honor, and power to have a second dominion. All parts of their body are precious and elegant. The young king compared her to pharaoh's chariots. Their cheeks are comely with ornaments, like a bag of myrrh and a cluster of hewn blossoms in the vineyard of gold. Their eyes are beautiful like doves, which can control the heart of warrior and bring peace in the midst of troubles. They are the lilies among brambles, as an apple tree among men. With great delight, men regard them. They are like a young stag upon rugged mountains. A woman makes a man complete. When a man is upset, distressed, and confused about life, let men only see the face of their love in the clefts of the rocks, in the covert of the cliff, then the hypertensive situation will automatically change, and an angry mind will turn sweet, for their voice is sweet and their face is comely. Their hair is like a flock of goats, moving down the slopes of Gilead. Their teeth are like a flock of shorn ewe that has come up from washing. Their nose is like a tower of Paris, overlooking beauty. Their head crowns you in purple; a tower of hope and victory, a king is held captive in the tresses. They are pleasant and delectable, the weakness of a mighty giant of heroism. Their kisses are like the best wine that goes down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth, so if a man offered for love, all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly scorned and can foolishly sign his death warrant.

The precious thing in a woman has been and will be what God made it to be if it is well-preserved; otherwise, it loses its worth. Solomon was made to see these glories in woman, which led him to adultery, fornication, even idolatry. I am surprised that even women have not discovered what they are and what they have, forgetting that knowledge is power. Some have discovered it partially. If a woman recognizes what God made her to be, she will never be slight in the sight of men. Women are not created to service men's sexual desire or to destroy the heart of men but are created to be a personal assistant to man, a representative. Are women still precious and wonderful with an arrayed glory as God made them to be? Are they still pleasant? Can they be recognized as human, nowadays? Are they what Solomon described or something else?

Nowadays, observation has shown that women have taken the wind out of their sails. Most are not what they were made to be in the sight of God and men, even in the sight of animals. All over the world, women have depreciated in terms of beauty, value, pleasantness, and when we are talking about beauty, we mean natural elegance, prettiness, not artificially or as a result of attachments. Most women have lost their precious glory, their pride, honor, right, high merit, potential, and power. Some of the fundamental things that led to the downfall of a destined child could be cheating, hypocricy, greed, and ignorance.

Also, women lost those excellent things God imputed in them when they were used in advertisement in movies, magazines, and television networks. They coach you on how to dress and appear sexy, just to attract viewers. People don't know the importance of the night because it becomes perpetually and not seasonally, so when women appear naked or half-naked in advertisements, their respect and regard are automatically lost. The precious unseen gold is now an underdog, a blot on the landscape.

Nowadays, women are anxious about catcalls wherever and wherever they are moving on the street or before any man. That's why they dress to kill. They yearn to have sex. Why are they inviting men to hotels, where most of them are residing? They can even kill and do illegal things just to get a man. They can even use charm. Today, you don't toast women twice. Are they not offering their body at no cost? Some immoral and adulterous spirit now influences some. Men are now deadbeats. Before, we believed that, for a man to approach a woman or to chat, the man must be prepared and be composed, so he won't behave insanely in their presence, because there is something in them that controls them. A man says men have seven senses, while women have three, but one sense in a woman can control the three senses in a man. This phenomenon is false these days. Really, the love of money is the root of all this evil.

Let us trace the origin of this great downfall. A woman introduced the first sin on earth. How? When she became greedy, despite the wealth in the Garden of Eden, the woman desired the fruit (sin) before she was tempted. Her response to the tempter tells us that she is interested but pretending. She wasn't content with what she had. The bible said the fruit was good and one to be desired in her eyes. She did not oppose the tricks of the devil and his craftiness but allowed him to work over her intelligence. Men easily deceive women. Money, cars, wealth and promises confuse them. There's nothing in a man to deceive a woman or fool her; rather women have qualities to fool a man. Women don't know their value, unless they lose it.

Don't forget that anything evil has a secret behind its motive. The devil is responsible for this lost glory, from the beginning and today, so he will cause humans to offend God; today, he still uses women for his strategy. He actualizes this by promoting activities that encourage evil, like prostitution. Through indecent attire, sexy perfumes, pornography shown in the screen, paper, Internet etc., human beings will continue disobeying God, thereby inspiring God's wrath. All these have spiritual influence over a carnal person. Some are from environmental and territorial demons, while others could be in the school, offices, company, industry, church, and streets all over the globe.

The consequences for this lost glory are factual; some have been mentioned above. Women don't have regard, respect, value, and trust. Women can easily give up. Now, before a woman gets any appointment, she must first commit herself to evil, because they made it so. Most are used and later discarding; some are used for rituals and public shame. Some die after being misused or because of drug abuse and compromise. Some have developed sterility. Some are frustrated and abandoned, while others are broken hearted. Many married women don't have right in their homes; they are beaten and wounded. Women easily contract disease and die quickly, selling their destiny to the devil. Remember hellfire is still eternal. Some women hardly marry, which is some of the pride of a woman. An abandoned property is still an abandoned proper; no matter how it may look like, it has no value. If a woman eats the forbidden fruits, she has definitely lost her glory. With problems like infidelity, premarital pregnancy etc., a prostitute has hidden limitations in life. But, can such glory of a woman that was lost be restored? YES.

Any woman that wants to be what God made her to be and still be recognized as precious gold must work in the newness of life after her repentance from every dead work. In the beginning of this fall, God was automatically making a way for her to be restored. She needs to acknowledge her sins and confess them to Christ Jesus, her savior and not to any man, then asking for forgiveness, promising to forsake them all. As she surrounds herself with the will of God, God will make her a new person, and her old life shall never be recalled. Then, Christ will transform her old body into a new body and restore all that she had lost, making her a virgin again. This is real; God is ready to receive us as sinners, but we don't give him a chance. When this is done, she will then be such a model.

Women should be content with what they have. For nothing can be too much, and nothing can be too small .You don't need to compare yourself with anybody. The car, residence, or attire of another person may not fit you. Go look for what will fit you. God made everything that is as it pleases him and for his purpose. If you are not beautiful, you must be wealthy or brilliant. All fingers may not be equal, but all humans are equal because you may have what I don't have, or I may have what you don't have. Don't feel cheated by your lacks. They may lead you to what you dream to be. Your problem may be that you are yet to discover some or all your talents. Any woman, privileged or not, should not be hopeless and visionless. Your destiny is still unchanged, unless you change it. A mosquito can still be classified as an insect or a girl can still be a woman some other time. It is just a matter of time. The difference between today and tomorrow is time, for what must be, must be. It doesn't matter the circumstances before you. Remember every bridge must be crossed, every tree must be climbed, and every ocean must be swim.

Women should not be subjected to any man outside marriage and should not feel inferior before any man, though you shouldn't be arrogant and violent but avoid any appearance of evil. They shouldn't consider themselves as nothing or cheap before any wealthy or handsome man. Women are more costly than wealth. So, there is no need for a woman to stop for unnecessary calls or arrogant toasts. It doesn't show respect and regard. Why must a person that doesn't really appreciate what God made in you use you and abandon you? Why must you expose every delicate part of your body? Why must an employer visit your body before he offers employment? Why must you give yourself to advertisement media or any screen show? Is it better to give yourself to the devil or to God? If you give your totality to God, he will change every aspect of your life, though it may tarry, but patience is the key, since God cannot be unrighteous to give you wickedness.

Women should remember they are also God's image as a human. So if man has attractive things, a woman has more than them. The rat first attracted a hunter that set an attractive trap for a rat. You have some qualities that men don't have. So, why must you make yours cheap and easy. Women should not allow what happened to them in the beginning by the devil to repeat itself. They have rights in the community and the world at large. Why must you say yes to every man that is not your future? Giving every person attention is never the key to your success because when there are too many unripe mangoes in the basket, one might not know the very ripe mango amongst them. We don't mean class but your future.

Women should not kill the goose that will lay a golden egg. No circumstance lasts forever, and no condition is permanent. Don't lose your gold for a penny. As they say, "use what you have to get what you want”, or “heaven helps those that help themselves”, or use every opportunity to reach your dream. This language is absolutely wrong but comes from the pit of hell. What you have is not made for what you want but what God wants. You don't make yourself as you are; remember, you are God's creature. Every opportunity at your reach may not be for what you think. Sex is too powerful to use to get what you want. Outside marriage, it can easily backfire on you, resulting in emotional letdown, guilt, possibly an unwanted pregnancy, or diseases. Save it for what it was made for.

Women/human beings should be wise enough to discern what is morally good as God imputed it in us, but we are reprobates. Do not be deceived by sight. The glittering of the fruit deceived Eve, not knowing it was bad. Some of the attachments we use, first consider their origin, the motive, source, and their effect. It may look good and fancy, desirable, but it could be dangerous. Do not say it makes me look good or loved by all, but remember love has many types, natural and artificial love etc. To stay in your clique, you don't need to follow the media closely or join the multitude, because that is where you can best find out what other teenagers do and think. Don’t wear what others wear, because that is how you can best belong, but you have to be yourself because people like you when your altitude is normal.
