The Voice of Faith in Stilettos
I have to admit I struggled
writing this post not because my creative juices had run out, but I felt I needed
the Holy Spirit’s blueprint on this one. Then this dropped in my heart, “Find
your purpose, do it with passion, Love people that way you can change the world
with pure love. Chase after the Perfector of your Faith, Jesus and call those
GOALS!
As a woman, I have always
struggled with my voice, (and no I am not a Singer) but the sort of voice that
breaks out and asks “Why Are You Here “. I am thankful to God for his Word, the
true mark of my identity and the voice I so seek.
In the bible, the woman’s
voice is very symbolic. From the first woman Eve, it is her voice that brought
forth the ‘First Humanity change ’. A woman’s voice provokes, creates
awareness, builds and restores humanity.
Proverbs 8:1 Does not
wisdom cry? And understanding put forth her Voice? That is why
age to age, it is the struggle of the Woman’s voice that has always been a
battle.
I am reminded about the Woman at the
Well, John Chapter 4 – the Samaritan woman. A true evangelist, a bold and
fearless influencer of her time. She listened, questioned, answered and
believed. She evangelized without perfection, her first assignment at the
well; she couldn’t hold back than voice it all out.
She forgot all her flaws, and her
initial intent to look for water. He encounter with the Messiah countered every
voice that ever spoke against her in judgment and condemnation. With her Voice,
she birthed what could be termed as a Samaria’s city Revival and I believe and
guarantee her life was never the same!
I am privileged to live in an era
when women have platforms; the narrative has changed and it is evolving. I am
not just highlighting ordinary women, but WOMEN OF FAITH. They not only express
themselves but their SOURCE and Faith in Christ! I choose to celebrate these
women because they are examples if not standards of the City in a Hill that
cannot be hidden. I would love to celebrate their achievements and accolades , which is all good and noble but i feel like their Faith highlights them and sets them apart .
They exhibit Passion, Purpose,
Purity and the Power of Christ. Anyone can speak to your soulish man and pomp
you, but pay attention to people who build you up in the most holy faith. (Jude
1:20) .
Here are my favorite women in the
faith; they are ordinary women who have taken extra ordinary calls to stand out
as the Salt that Flavors the World with the WORD.
SOWAIRINA ( Grace Msalame )
It is her gracious words
of depth on her social media page will leave you in owe and ponder .Such grace,
such beauty that radiates from the inside out! It is not what she drives
that thrills you , it is what drives her , Christ !Her clarity and moral values
are a motivation, named Top 40 under 40, I believe we have fearless
influencers in Christ that are taking on the marketplace with ease and
confidence. Reading through her blog and seeing the determination to also
raise (her adorable twins) generation that is set apart for Gods Glory is a
remarkable standard set.

We know her for her music among
many other hats she wears, but you can tell there is something more to her...Her
SOURCE. She sings from the oracles of the Spirit, you can tell the difference
when music fills your Memory space and when it uplifts and glorifies God.
Her voice goes beyond music , her encouraging words on her blog and her social
pages .she reminds me of John 4:23 “ Yet a time is coming and has
now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in
truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. “

I have heard of bold stories, but
she inspires me with her initiative to open dialogue on Purity and purpose. Her
story is remarkable, one that shows the depth of God’s Love but mostly it is
what a resolved mind in Christ can do. When we are in Christ the old has
gone and the new has come. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation
has come: The old has gone, the new is here!|” 2 Corinthian 5:17 .
Julie Gichuru
We have seen her grace our screens
and have loved her charm and charisma. The mother of 4 is not only flamboyant
business woman and leader but also a believer in Christ. I recently watched her
Vlog and I was in such admiration of her words “Seek God, and you will find Him
“ .I can bet you that that is not a statement you wake up to simply imagine but it
is a lifestyle lived and endorsed . Proverbs 31:26 she opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
As I said, these are some of
the women among many others that I look forward to reading, hearing and even
learning from. I do not know either of them personally, but there
is a fire they carry that melts our hearts towards the heartbeat of God. “ I am simply sharing not so far from where I am , women that use their VOICE to empower and Raise . Mathew 5: 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
My prayer is that we will set the
tone as women to build, to know that we are called not just for ourselves but
the community. We shape the world, but it starts with the Voice of TRUTH in us
that wants to welcome everyone to hear the good news.
“Here’s to strong women. May we
know them. May we be them. May we raise them.” Unknown
