The Weapon of Womanhood

The Weapon of Womanhood
10.11.2020 LISTEN

The woman is a weapon. A weapon that can either destroy destinies or preserve nations. It is a common saying that behind every successful man, there is a woman. Can we also admit that before the fall of any great man, there's an active involvement or a strategic devising of a woman? How do you want to use your weapon as a lady? Samson was destroyed because of a woman. John was beheaded because of a woman. Oh yes! Solomon is not an exception -- he strayed away from his God to serve other strange gods because of women. Think of the first man, Adam, he could not resist the words of charming Eve.

Like many others, women have been a barrier to them from getting to the peak of their careers. Are women the problem of the world? Are they constantly evolving or they are just complex beings difficult to understand to the core?

However, it is worth appreciating that several nations were also preserved as a result of bold steps taken by some women. Esther in Bible days risked her life to save a whole kingdom. Ruth is an exceptional example. She defiled all odds and esteemed her mother-in-law better than herself. Her submission to Boaz earned her the position of a wife which resulted in the giving birth to Obed through whose lineage came Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.

There is no mountain the woman cannot climb, no height she cannot attain. Why then do some fight for equality? Are they in a competition with their minds? Is it just a lack of appreciating and admitting their true identity? To be more daring, are they competing with men? If yes, is it worth it? Are they having issues with the right use of their weapons as women? Is the concept of equality springing from wrong interpretation and understanding of submission?

Man is naturally older than the woman because Adam was formed before Eve. In this perspective, submission should not be a problem for women. If you know who you truly are, you don't fight to become. You just need to live as such. Is it, therefore, necessary to fight for equality?

Men honour those above them in terms of rank, try as much as they can to lift those below them. However, these same men fight those who claim to be equal with them. This is so true even in marriages and in the political fraternity. So as a woman, anytime you want a man to honour you and also to lift you, just employ the weapon of womanhood which is submission.

Some view submission as a weakness but who cares if you can use this weapon of weakness to control the universe. It is not for nothing that most people say a gentleman does not reject a lady's offer. The woman is the remote of every natural man. Like every remote, all you need is a working battery. All that is required of a lady to get all her request granted is to employ the seemingly weapon of weakness --- bring out the King in the man through submission. Which is more worthy? Fighting for equality to be resisted by the man or submitting to him to get your way through without struggle.

Even as you fight for your right, remember, you'll need the support of the 'left hand' to carry heavy loads. Women are the pride of men. Together, let's make our homes better places where the atmosphere will be one of love and understanding.

It is possible!
