THE Precious Stone Women and Girls Ministry changed my life through the life-changing word taught by Dr Wutawunashe. Before I was born again,I never realised the value and potential that God put inside me.
The greatest thing that happened to me because of this ministry was that I got delivered from an inferiority complex.
Inferiority complex kills. It is the devil who comes to steal, kill and destroy. This disease must not be taken lightly because it cripples.
It is because of inferiority complex that some women sell their bodies today since they have told themselves that being a woman, there is nothing better to do. Others are imprisoned in abusive and dangerous marriage relationships because they think there is no way out of their problem. Others die poor because they think making and earning money is not really the domain for women.
It all started with the way I grew up, from a very humble and poor background which made me look down upon myself, thinking that I was nothing and I didn’t deserve anything better.
As a young lady I also hoped to get married and hopefully, in marriage experience a changed life. However, time went by and nothing materialised. I felt useless and no one could love me.
I thank God for the teaching I received from our mother. She taught me that the value and potential in a woman is a fact of life. As far as God is concerned it’s a done deal. He put the precious stone in every woman and it is crying to be unleashed in every single woman at every age and social status-be it a small girl, young woman, senior girl, married woman, widow, divorcee.
To us senior girls she said we can actually rise up and become what she calls super achievers. This word liberated me to fight to become the best God intended for me when I was single.
I realise that I did not need to feel incomplete or inadequate because I don’t have a man. I have got a valuable and critical part to play in life and in the kingdom of God. I can achieve great things whether married or not.
I eagerly embraced the word as taught by our mother from Proverbs 31. I worked with my hands to do projects and I also took my status as an opportunity to pray and minister to people in my life, including my family and friends. I stretched out my hand to the needy around me and through all my business, a lot of lives were touched. People were born again and others saw the hand of the Lord.
Through being productive, my economic life has improved and I have a residential stand to my name and I am busy developing it. I am always busy going to other countries, buying and selling and building up myself to be a centre of resources
God gave me a job and I can take care of myself, my family and the house of God. This word also produced in me a woman who fears the Lord and who seeks after righteousness. Sin has no chance anymore in me because I am precious and a temple of the Holy Spirit.
Dr Wutawunashe is my mother, teacher and my mentor. My prayer for her is that God give her long life for the sake of women and girls out there who can benefit from her ministry and I am inviting all women to come and benefit at this year’s convention. I promise you, your life will never be the same again.
Woman of Africa, I say to you…
Ushe Kufakurirana
The night may be dark
But day will bring a better mark
The morning may be cold
But the afternoon will make you bold
I say to you refuse to be crushed
The winter may come
But it is only a season that will go
All may seem nothing but harm
Every answer may be a “No”
But I say to you it’s all a mirage
The weight may seem so heavy
The future so hazy
Life so messy
Everything so crazy
I say let not an inch of you be moved
Shake what needs to be shaken
Take what needs to be taken
Make things happen
Never let anything slacken
I say to you take what it takes!
Take self, be self, take God
