“I
desire a God-fearing man with the wisdom of TD Jakes, the body of Will
Smith and the swag of Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard). I want a man with
loads of money to throw around. He doesn’t have to be as rich as Steve
Jobs, or live in a gigantic house, but he should at least own a
penthouse. He doesn’t have to own a private jet, but he should be able
to purchase a first-class ticket whenever I need to travel.” Is that too
much to ask for?
“Hold on! ‘I need! I
need! I need!’” What are you bringing on board? You can try for a
million years, but a porous basket will never work as a vessel to hold
water. Here’s another way to look at it: what use would it be to pour
water into a basket? I mean, it’s okay to want all of these things in a
partner (the “water”) but if you are not able to contain it (like the
“basket”), you will only become a liability to the source.
Every
rich man out there is probably seeking and searching for the heart of a
queen. The word “queen” here isn’t necessarily referring to someone of
nobility by title. Rather, it means that there must be something unique
and special about you that stands you out. There is more to being a
woman. A virtuous woman brings out the king in her husband.
When
a King and a Queen come together, such combinations don’t simply make
babies: they create a kingdom. They don’t just raise children, either –
instead, they raise a nation! A wise King understands the symbolic
meaning of a crown. The woman herself is the crown. She is a wife of
noble character and her husband’s crown. In other words, a crown cannot
exist without a King and likewise, a King needs the CROWN in order to
lead as a King. A virtuous woman is not actually looking for an
extraordinary man! Instead, she turns an ordinary man into an
extraordinary man!
One question you must ask yourself is this:
“Am I going to be an asset or a liability to my spouse? Will I be a woman with a purpose?”
The
term “purpose” here refers to that which God intends for every woman to
be “The Virtuous Woman.” The virtuous woman is not a myth, nor does it
happen overnight. Instead, it is attainable and stems from a woman who
walks in her purpose.
I am writing
specifically about ‘The Virtuous Woman’, “A role model to be emulated by
this generation and set aside to be a helper to her spouse.
Nevertheless, I believe it is the duty of the man to provide for his
household.
A virtuous woman is a
woman of excellence. It’s funny because a lot of people want what she
has, yet very few people can actually do what she does daily.
Such
a woman is often behind an extraordinary man! She is an investor and
not just a wife but she is loaded to the core! Basically, she is
financially stable and she is called blessed by her children.
Now, that is a blessing. You don’t demand it, but you earn it!
She
brings value to the table. This woman is a hustler, in every sense of
the word – a true businesswoman! Her hands are blessed, and always
looking for ways to be a blessing to her household.
She’s
not just somewhere thinking and looking at herself in the mirror with
her beautiful body and hair saying to herself, “I am HOT – in fact, too
hot. And if any man wants me, he must be this and must be that….”
If, as a woman, you are seeking the heart of a king, then remember to be a Queen.
Believe
that God has made you a success to the man that marries you. Trust that
whatever you touch will turn to gold. You are the favour to the man
that marries you! A virtuous woman is not just a role model with
millions of followers on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram – she is also
raising a nation and building a respected legacy in the process.
Get
busy in your purpose, remain driven, and build yourself as a woman. If
you need to get a degree, it’s never too late. Whether you are a single
mother or even a teenage mother, the call to be virtuous is the same. If
you need to start a business, then start it now! No matter how small
your capital is or whether you must first invest in your own talent, do
not delay – just get started!
Empower yourself, becoming an asset to your spouse – not a liability.
Live your purpose and pursue becoming the woman you are called to be!
You are a VIRTUOUS WOMAN!
