Women are generally very unique people.
Take a good look at yourself and you would agree with me that being a woman
makes you “special” among God’s creation.
Now there are 6 different type of women
in the face of the world. This classification transcends race, colour, location
or even nationality.
1.
The physical woman
She is beautiful and
knows it. She is fully aware of the influence of her curves and bursts. She engages
them to get what she wants. Her best words are, “If you have it, flaunt it”.
She is the girl in the mall who rushes to the ladies to re-apply her make up
the 4th time before getting done with shopping. She does this in
hope that a man would notice her “flawless” appearance and foot the bills of
her shopping spree.
She is an expert at
engaging her lashes, lips and eyes simultaneously during a conversation with
the opposite sex. She bathes her lashes, feigns shy smiles and engages the
on-looker in a shy-not-so-shy-manner eye contact.
She is the girl who
will never enjoy wearing a dress unless it accentuates her curves. She also
enjoys it when the red sea between her mammary glands shows conspicuously above
her dress.
Her Broken Stilettos: She relies solely
on her LOOKS to get what she wants.
She is an ardent believer of the saying, “Men are visual beings” and she plays on
this information to her best gain.
2.
The Emotional woman
She is the one who longs
for more. She weighs every decision against the scale called “how does this
make me feel?” Whatever feels good scores the most on her priority list. She
doesn’t believe that intuition can be wrong. She is always looking out for how
to something or someone “connects” with her emotions and she is good at
invoking emotions in others. She sometimes could be manipulative, often using
the words “you make me feel bad after all I’ve done for you”. She is in touch
with her inner soul and doesn’t mind crying when she feels threatened.
Her Broken Stilettos: She relies solely on
her FEELINGS. She believes that
people who don’t share her sentiments on a matter are either heartless or
insensitive.
3.
The Intellectual
woman:
She is an encyclopedia
of knowledge. She knows a little of everything and much of most things. She is
very logical. There is hardly anything you say to this woman that she doesn’t
research. She likes to analyze and hates to be taken unawares.
The wise know that
is futile to entertain an argument with her because she hardly ever speaks of
what she is unsure about. You are most likely going to lose if you happen to
pick an area that deeply interests her.
She never makes
decision without being surely sure.
Her Broken Stilettos: She relies solely on
her KNOWLEDGE/INTELLECT. She
believes that “common sense is not common at all”.
4.
The Spiritual woman:
She is very much in
touch with her spirit. She takes every decision making opportunity to the feet
of her “God”. She could be Hinduist, Buddhist, Muslim, Traditional worshipper
or Christian. She believes that the Spirit knows better and this sometimes
prevents her from engaging the “obvious” facts when making decision. She is an
ardent believer of the saying, “The spirit must speak”.
Her Broken Stilettos: She relies solely on
her KNOWLEDGE/SPIRITUALITY.
5.
The Lethal Woman:
She skilled at
combining the edge of her physique, the ingrain of her emotions, the depths of
her intellect and strength of her spirituality.
She is understands
the value of each of these aspects in woman hood however, she over plays them
all to the detriment of others. Her watch word, “Heaven helps those who help
themselves.
She could crush
anyone or anything that stands in her way. She believes she has what it takes
to be the lead anywhere, anyday, anytime.
She is a destructive
weapon disguised in a feminine frame.
Her Broken Stilettos: She relies solely on
her SELF
6.
The Whole Woman:
She is aware of her
physical features. She acknowledges herself as truly beautiful. She appreciates
her body and dresses appropriately.
She is aware of her
feelings but never let them determine her decision.
She is well read,
she embodies knowledge and inspires meaningful conversations with other.
She is fully
understands the place of good looks, intellect, emotions and all.
However, what sets
her out as a whole woman is the truth that she has a nurturing relationship
with Christ. This relationship inspires her. It governs how and where she applies
her assets(intellect, emotion, looks and all)as a woman.
She is a life giver.
Her Stable Stilettos: She relies solely on
the WISDOM OF CHRIST
Where do you fall?
TRANSITION KEYS
Each of these women except the whole
woman is limited. The physical woman can’t get what her good looks can’t get
her. The Emotional woman would lose out on opportunities when intuition fails
her.
The intellectual woman may eventually come across as “I-to-know”. This in turn
would pose a threat to her attempt to build healthy relationship with others.
The spiritual woman appears to have an advantage over the others but she really
doesn’t. She leaves for God what man she do. This definitely limits her productivity.
The lethal woman is skilled but needs to accept the truth that living to please
one’s self is a futile life. The best life to live is that which is lived
fulfilling God’s original intention for creating us.
Like the whole
woman, what these other women need to learn is the truth that life outside a
nurturing relationship with Christ is like standing on broken stilettos.
Your gait is
unstable
Your ankle will
hurt
You will fall
The first step to
transitioning from any of the other five to being a whole woman is to
1.
Begin a relationship with Christ
based on the Romans 10:9 principle which states that If you confess with
your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved.

2.
The physical woman needs to
understand that her body houses her spirit (her true person) and should be
carried in an honourable manner as a royalty would. 1 peter 2:9, “But you are a
chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession,
that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his
wonderful light.”
3. The Emotional
woman needs to learn that the best results in life are born from faith in God
never by our feelings. She also puts herself in a position where she constantly
displeases God. Hebrews 11: 6, “And without faith it is impossible to please
God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he
rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
4. The Intellectual
woman needs to learn that the arm of flesh/self fails and remember often that
God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. Jeremiah 17: 5
“This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who
draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the LORD.”
1 corinthians 1:27 “But God chose the foolish
things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world
to shame the strong.”
5. The
spiritual woman needs to grasp the truth that there is a place for skill and a
place for spirit. When both come together, we get excellence. The absence of
one brings limitation. She needs to remember the counsel in Ecclesiastes 10:10,
“If the ax is dull
and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring
success.”
6. The
lethal woman needs to submit to the Holyspirit to lead her. This woman readily
becomes a whole woman once she yields to the Holyspirit. She should be guided
by James 4:7, “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the
devil, and he will flee from you.” This
will prevent her from being used by the devil as a destructive weapon.
Every
woman has these dimensions- looks, feelings, spirituality, intellect and more.
We must never forget that these things have their place. A whole woman knows
when to pull them from her arsenal but she never uses any in a way that
dishonours God or makes her the alpha and omega of her own life or the lives of
others. She knows that she is got power but she has surrendered that
power/strength to CHRIST and He has become the centre of her life, giving her a
balanced gait, a stable life and a constant flow of beauty and wellness.
My
counsel?
Make
walking in wholeness your priority.
