Speakers task women on God-given abilities

Nigeria women have been enjoined to use their God-given abilities and skills to raise good children and guide their husbands. Making the call last week, during the National Women Conference of the Motailatu Church Cherubim and Seraphim Worldwide held in its Ibeju-Lekki international headquarters, Apostolic Mother Elizabeth Akinadewo said it is easy to make Nigeria work, if only women could get involved. She noted that women have all it takes to change Nigeria.

While urging women to deploy their God-given skills, the Apostolic Mother, who is also wife of the Prelate/Supreme Head of Motailatu Church Cherubim and Seraphim Worldwide (MCCSW), Baba Aladura Elder Dr. Israel Akinadewo, cited biblical characters, such as Ruth and Hannah, who through God’s divine intervention and their determination, were able to influence their immediate environments and made history.

Speaking on the theme of the conference: “The hand of God that changes Destiny” Akinadewo listed disobedience, rebellion, wickedness, arrogance and all other unrighteous practices as factors that could limit one from experiencing the hand of God in destiny remoulding. She maintained that women have great influence in nation-building and passionately appealed to them to utilise what she called “soft skills” to guide their husbands aright for stability, progress and development of the country. She called on Christian women to be prayerful.

The new patron of the MCCSW Good Women National Conference, Mrs. Victoria Adegbenro, said all Christian women must lead exemplary lifestyles because of their divine roles as nation builders. She added that women should not succumb to challenges and pressures, but actualise their divine roles in the family, as well as the country.
