1.    WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE VIRTUOUS WOMAN?

 

The word Virtuous was taken from the word Virtue and etymologically Virtue was coined out of the Latin word VIRTUS and Ancient Greek word Arête. While VIRTUS means to be strong Arête means moral excellence. In constructive term VIRTUES means "strength in moral excellence".

2.    ORIGIN OF THE WORD VIRTUOUS.

On a ground to study the word Virtuous. The term virtuous came a long way from the old traditional believe in the eastern part of the world down into the western believe. To be specific the Buddhism were able to define that a virtuous person is a person who is separated from the world. To their men they believed there was a need for them to be separated from their families to solitary places to achieve, spiritual enlightenment, while the women were separated to care for their Children. The Eastern world Italy to be precise, which happened to be then then base of the Catholics, they emphasized on sexual purity stressing the story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife alongside virgin Mary as bases of emphasis.

3.    WHO IS A VIRTUOUS WOMAN?

In our present word, or for specific someone like me used to see a virtuous woman as an all doing all knowing kind of lady. But on the contrary I would love us to check into the gospel. Our very own Bible to know how a virtuous woman is defined.

A virtuous woman is one who people can trust and depend on, someone who does and serve others and works willingly with her hands, she is strong especially in her moral conduct, above all she is a woman that fears the Lord. Although I must emphasis that to be a virtuous woman might not necessarily mean being perfect, but it is our ability to live with Purpose, diligent, forgiveness and repentance.

In a nutshell I will be defining a virtuous woman as a woman who although as the tendency to be weak but still attains a very high standard of moral excellence because of her utmost reverence and fear for God.  She is a woman who realizes her weakness, but still upholds a high moral excellence, because of her understanding in the Lord Jesus Christ.

A virtuous woman is not only an all doing or all-knowing woman, but she is a woman who first is willing to accept her weakness, work on it and still keep a high moral standard by being morally upright, sexually chaste, loyal and humble servant, a shoulder other can depend on. In one word a virtuous woman is a strong lady, who draws her strength from no other person but God. Is a 40vs 31.

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 75; TOPIC: BE CREATIVE

  BE CREATIVE  MAKE YOUR HANDS USEFUL.   Creativity is first a mindset and then an attitude. There is no problem we come face to face with that is new, they have all taken place and were either tackled or not. It is how you solve that same problem that determines how creative you are. " We are all capable of doing great things, but not everyone would do great things or achieve greatness." Greatness is not cheap, some persons like cheap things, they rather settle for less than the best, because they don't want stress. They rather clap for the best, than endure the rigours of becoming the best. We're worth more than what our eyes can see, but we need to work more than the crowd to become that thing which we were created to be. "Nothing good comes easy, I hope you've heard it before? You have to put both your mind and hands to work to achieve the greatness you desire if not you will wallow in hunger. Greatness won't fall on you, you will be th...

#THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 72, TOPIC: I AM A WOMAN

  I Am A Woman INTRODUCTION: After birth, as we grew, we were taught to understand the implication of our gender, the consequences of making wrong actions and attributes that distinguish you from the male gender. For some of us, we raised questions, our minds wondered ‘Why is it so hard to be a woman or a girl, as the case may be?’ But other times, we uttered words like ‘Thank God I'm not a man'. So we found ourselves accepting our gender definition when the condition was favorable and appealing, and also wishing we had made another choice, if we could, as far as gender was concerned. May I remind you that once you cannot accept or appreciate the fact that you came as a woman, you would always find fault in ‘being a woman', you would never consider yourself good enough as a woman. CAN I BE ANYTHING ELSE? Let's talk about me for a moment. I am a woman (well, I would define myself better as a Lady, with respect to age and marital status). But, the list progres...
