Ladies, You are Daughters of Sarah



This is a month of love and so we have to talk love as much as we can. Often, February is considered the month when love is expressed most by adults more than other months. You can guess this is because of the Valentine’s Day which we celebrate every 14th of February. Some would dispute this and try to compare this with December and say December rivals February. I think the only difference between the two is that it’s in December when we lack genuine love and instead it’s more to me when love is broken and so only breeding takes place. Got the word I used, breeding and not bleeding. It’s however subject to debate. Anyway let’s leave that behind and concentrate on what matters to us today.
I am quite sure that today is when ladies expect to have someone take them out for a dinner, buy them a bunch or roses, chocolate bar, Valentine cards or someone whispers the words “I LOVE YOU.” I am sure that they will be waiting for that someone special to hold their hands and look directly into their eyes and say, “PLEASE BE MY VALENTINE.” Whether you will be that someone special or not for a lady please make sure you send a “small gift” to the ladies if you can afford. They deserve to be appreciated. Write them a text; offer them a special drink or meal and most important do things that matter to them most. They deserve to be loved. They deserved to be treated with compassion, kindness and care. They are our jewels. They are Costlier than the precious gold and diamonds.
To the ladies now, this is my message of goodwill this valentine. If you receive a valentine message or gift or perhaps you did not this is for you. Whether you have that someone special or not, it won’t change the fact that you are a lady and that there is someone somewhere caring about your welfare.
The biblical Sarah who is the first lady of faith is an amazing woman that our girls should look up for their daily inspiration. They are her daughters if they live their lives as she did. If they walk in her footsteps, they qualify to share in her blessings.
Sarah was a lady whose strength was renewed not once but all through her life. When they traveled to EGYPT with her husband Abram, in spite of her age Pharaoh noticed her beauty and took her in as her wife. Imagine at her age, pharaoh’s servants went in praises to him because of her beauty. She was found more beautiful than all other women in Egypt. In fact Abram was frightened that he would be killed and had to lie that she was his sister and not wife. Amazing, is it? The same was repeated when they migrated to the land of king Abimelech. He too took Sarah because of her beauty. She was also advanced in age. Her look deceived them fro she was fairer. She had been renewed. She was attractive.
Sarah gave birth to a son when she was 90 years old. Yes I said the age correct. It’s an unimaginable thing to start with unless something unusual happens. She was way past menopause age. She laughed off the words of the angles that came to bring the news of her having a son at that age. But still she had her strength renewed and she gave birth. Who would think this a possibility? Even her husband doubted this.
And so today I can assure you that your strength can be renewed like that of Sarah for you are her daughters. I can bet that God can work out things for you in the oddest situations. He is able to make you the most fair of all women in your neighborhood even though no one has approached you to ask for your hand in marriage. It does not matter your age. All things are possible in God. There is nothing too hard for God. In your darkness, God can illuminate his light and make a way where in situations you think there is no hope for you. When you think your prime age for marriage is gone, do not think of marrying yourself as has been happening. This is not a solution for you. God has better plan for you. He will bring along a man who will love you. You will not spend your days lonely. Only be strong and wait on God. Make no mistake of thinking it’s over for you. Even in advanced age prince charming will come.
Perhaps age has gone and you always wish you could hold your baby. Your baby from your own womb. The hope may have died. This is not an excuse to think that God is unable to make all things abound to you by grace and treated like the mother of a nation. God can renew you strength and give birth. Only have faith and ask the Lord to help your unbelief. Scientifically, it may have been proved otherwise but this does not mean it’s the final word that God has for you. He is not through with you. He is starting to show his faithfulness to all who do not trust on friends. He is waiting to shame the wisdom of the wise.
And do not miss this point too. You will be treated with honor and no one will want to sin against you. Sarah was treated well by her husband and those other men who wanted her. Her husband whom she referred to as “Her Master/Lord” gave her fine linen, jewels of gold and oil to anoint her body. She became more beautiful. She was liked by people who saw her. She was regarded with honor. My dears’ people will regard you with honor as Sarah was because you are fair. You are of virtue. You deserve it. That may not have happened in the past. It’s a new season to hold on to this new title, “Daughters of Sarah’. Wherever someone want to do something dishonorable to you, remind them you are. Confess it and pray it.
My dear ladies, Have confidence even to ask favors from your husbands and other men in your life. Sarah had that confidence. She asked Abraham to have a son through her maid slave and her request was granted. She did not have fear. I remind you to have courage and strength to ask for anything from your husbands, fiance or boyfriends. Those who have no one special speak out to those you have had crash on. Do not be intimidated. Daughters of Sarah should not. They speak out their mind and heart. They express their thoughts and desires.
And now my friends, as I conclude, may grace abound to you and enjoy your valentine’s day. Remember to share this if it has blessed you. Share it with your girlfriends and help them appreciate this simple fact, that they are the Daughters of Sarah. Men as we spend our lives with the ladies today and in the days to come, refer to the women in your life as Daughters of Sarah. That is rightly their title.
