The District Pastor, Gospel Baptist Conference of Nigeria and Overseas(GBCN&O), Rev. Ademola Ojewunmi, has tasked Christian women to brace up to the challenge of nurturing and building their homes based on biblical instructions.
Women, he said, have a primary responsibility to ensure their children grow in the way of the Lord while also supporting their husbands to achieve greatness.
He spoke at the consolidation all- night service for women at the church in Orile Iganmu, Lagos.
Ojewunmi said called for increased commitment to this divine role among women, urging them not to be taken away by other distractions.
Noting that economic considerations were pulling many women away from their homes, the cleric said they should set their priority right and major on the essentials.
According to him: “We need more women who will act as mentors, teachers, counselors, caregivers, warriors, evangelists, and guide to their household and world at large.
“We need sacrificial women who will give anything to make sure that their children and families become the best God has in stock for them.”
He lamented the increase in homeless children, saying such development was attributable to failed motherhood.
The cleric also said western influence was imparting negatively on many women, urging them to be guided by the scriptures.
Ojewunmi appealed to women facing trying times to solace in the word of God and be more submissive to their husbands, assuring that God will intervene soonest.
