The Kingdom Women at House of Praise have been greatly  blessed this year, as we have continued on with learning how to develop  our relationship with the Holy Spirit.  Coming into the realisation that He is our personal tutor. That it is He, who empowers us to be what God has purposed us to be    HIS   "Women of Substance"   This past half of the year we have been studying and sharing together what  that woman looks like!   God's ideal plan is that each one of His daughters will grow into a beautiful  woman of substance.   What does that mean?  Well.... substance is the essence or essential matter of a thing. The evidence of who you are.   We are to be a fountain of life to others.....What substance!   According to Titus  2:3 - 4  We are to teach others the good things we have been learning.  We are to  pass on all that God has taught us.         What do you want to be known for? What do you want to pass on to others? Describe the woman you want to be one year from now. What changes need to take place for that to come about?   You see WE don't determine our future, our daily habits do. Our choices, which reflect our priorities will determine whether or not we  will fulfil God's design for our life..... to be    "His Woman of Substance."   What steps can we take towards this spiritual growth?   Isaiah 40:31 says.....  "Those that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength,  they will fly like eagles, they will run and not grow weary."     The time we find, redeem, save, schedule and allow for our spiritual growth,  God will honour and bless and multiply that time.  He honours the time we commit to becoming like Christ. We are able to soar because we have been with the Lord!   You know, we can't give away what we don't have ourselves.         So, how are you spending your God given time and energy?    Is allowing God to train and develop you a goal you have?    Do you invest your time in eternal things?     Ways to invest.....      Reading plays an important part in spiritual growth.  What  books do you read?   Dont read at random, read what relates to your spiritual growth,  read what will help you reach your goal in God.   God is responsible for presenting the opportunities of life.    In His time,  but we are responsible for co-operating with His effort to prepare us.         So once again, describe the Woman you want to be spiritually one year from now.     What areas would you like to begin growing in?    Make a start today.   According to John 15 - 16  God has chosen and appointed YOU to be His "Woman of Substance"  to a world in need.
