I was listening to my favorite Christian radio station yesterday where a lady psychologist was speaking about the rights of women and girls all around the world and at home. Yesterday, Thursday March 8 had been designated 'International Women's Day.'. She made a statement that I found extremely startling. In this so-called modern-day 21st century world, women and girls were still considered 'subhuman' or animals in many countries.
Well, I was very glad that I was living in my country!. But then I remembered that there was the same blatant disrespect for and abuse of females here too. The music and lifestyle advocated by some of the radio stations (one in particular) makes me righteously indignant. What hurts me is that many women buy into the degrading philosophical crap that they are a man's property, his potty (a receptacle for his sexual fluids) and his punching bag.
But my sisters, here are five reasons why you are not subhuman:
- We are made in the image and likeness of God, just like our male counterparts (Genesis 1 verses 27).
- God made BOTH men and women to rule over the earth (Genesis 1 verse 28)
- Women are not animals!!!! When Adam looked for a partner for himself among the animals, none was found suitable for him. God had to take a rib FROM HIS SIDE (NOT UNDER HIS FEET) to make a companion for him - woman!!! (Genesis 2 verses 18 - 23)
- In God's sight there is no gender who is more eligible to be saved and to inherit the blessings of the Lord (Galatians 3 verses 26 - 28.
- One practical thing, IF THERE WASN'T WOMEN, THE HUMAN RACE COULD NOT REPRODUCE OR BE PERPETUATED.. So Happy International Women's Day, to all my sisters of the world, both young and old. You are created in God's image and likeness, HIS CREATION. You were so valuable that God sent His son, our Lord Jesus, just to die in your place. So accept Him as your Savior and Lord, and claim the identity and dignity of being a beloved child of God.
"In Christ Jesus, there is no difference between...male and female. You are all the same in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3 verse 28 (New Century Version)
