As a Christian woman, I believe we need to know what is biblically expected from us. Sometimes we tend to place ourselves in the background and put others in a position before us, however, we ought to know that God has created us for a purpose. For us to know what we must do in life it is important that we seek God’s guidance over our life decisions.
As a Christian in general you are accountable to God for everything, you may have a lot of titles attached to you as a woman such a being a daughter of Christ, mother, teacher, mentor etc. At the end of the day everything you do in these fields will reflect in your relationship with Christ and you will have to give an account one day. In Romans 14:12 (KJV) it states that ‘’we will all give an account to God one day’’ at that moment your job title will not make a difference, it will be about your reflection as a daughter of Christ and whether you were able to portray yourself as such.
Many of us tend to have a circle around us who may not necessarily be Christ-like, however, we need to embrace them with open arms and help them one way or the other, so they recognize Christ in us and strive to join you in your Christianity. In Matthew 4:19 (KJV) Jesus said ‘’we should make fishers of men’’ and I believe this can only be done if those around you see the reflection of God through you.
Looking at the story of Queen Esther she had a whole army of people depending on her. Queen Esther could have made the decision to ignore what everyone was saying and turn her back on her people, but she did not. At that moment in time she made a profound statement in Esther 4:16 (KJV) ‘’If I perish, I perish!’’ Esther knew that God was holding her accountable for the people around her. She had to overcome the spirit of fear and fight back with the spirit of force. She stepped out of her human mindset and connected it to the divine anointing from above this enabled her to fulfil her God giving assignment. Due to this Queen Esther’s name has made a profound mark in the bible and this is all because she took her accountability seriously.
Accountability means ‘’a situation in which someone is responsible.’’ As a parent you are responsible for your children, whenever there is a form to be filled they ask for the parent or guardian. These are responsible for the child and this ensures that the children are accountable to their parents and guardians. Same as Christians whether a man or woman an accountant or a lawyer we are all accountable to Christ and are accountable for one another. We to ensure people are standing strong in Christ and do not faint in Christ.
God wants and expects us to depend on him through prayer, fasting and reading the word. The more you soak yourself in his presence the more you become aware of your actions and surroundings. Anything you do will be based on the sure foundation of Christ. You are not expected to be bossy, arrogant, angry but strong emotionally, spiritually, and dependent on God. Sometimes we can get caught up in other worldly activities and forget we have God who we are accountable to. We need to fully depend on The Holy Spirit for Him to remind us, this will enable you to take up your cross daily and move forward in faith.
Stay blessed,
Tracy
