God from the foundation of the world has Africa in His plan and purpose.  And He has demonstrated His love for the continent in various ways from the beginning of the world till date.

 

From the garden of Eden, God ensured that one out of the four riverheads in the garden goes around the land of Ethiopia.(Gen.2:13)

 

Abraham married an African woman called Keturah, after the death of Sarah his wife.(Gen.25:1 to 4)

 

It was not by accident that Joseph was sold to Egypt in Africa.  It was for a divine fulfillment. (Gen.37:27 to28).

 

God ensured that Africa delivered many nations from death in the time of famine.  (Gen. 41:56 to 57).

 

Egypt in Africa gave Moses the training he needed when he was in the house of pharaoh. Which contributed to his outstanding leadership.As we know, civilization started in  Egypt, Africa.

 

However,Moses married an African woman called  Zipporah the daughter of Reuel, the priest of Midian (Exd. 2:21).

 

The love  of God for the continent did not end in the old testament, but continued in the new testament as well.  As He ensured that He personally visited Egypt, Africa. When Herod wanted to kill the baby Jesus. (Math.2:13).

 

In order to fulfill  the prophecy of prophet Hosea on the continent of Africa (Hosea 11:1).

 

In Mark 15:21, God demonstrated to the whole world  His unhidden love, plan and purpose for the continent of Africa at this end time.  By allowing Simon a Cyrenian the father of Alexander and Rufus from Northern Africa,  who carried the cross to Golgotha.

 

In spite of all the people present at the time of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, no one else was allowed to assist CHRIST with the cross except an AFRICAN.

 

That was a prophetic action that Simon took on behalf of the Africans.  God symbolically told the world that towards the end  of age, Africans will take the gospel to the rest of the world. 

 

However, if the cross had not gotten to Golgotha, there could not have been a crucifixion.  If there was no crucifixion, there could not have been a resurrection.  If there was no resurrection, there could not have been a REDEMPTION.

 

God is a God of timing .  It was not by accident that Simon went to Jerusalem for a passover pilgrimage at that time.As we know that prophecy  has it that Africa has the end time mantle.

 

It was this unspeakable love and glory that Satan saw and entered into the minds of our fore fathers who went into idolatry.  Thereby destroying the destinies of most Africans.  And putting the continent under satanic influences.  As some nations in Africa are dedicated to satanic altars.  Hence contending with the glory of God in the continent.  Thereby bringing a delay, hindrances to the plan and purpose of God for the continent.

 

We cannot sit back as Africans and moreover as African female ministers and watch the plan and purpose of God for the continent remain unfulfilled.  We owe it to God as priests to ensure that His will is done in Africa.(Psalm 68:31).

 

The glory of God for the continent must be redeemed in our generation.  We have all it takes to doing so.  And this is why we must emphasis on RIGHTEOUSNESS AS THE KEY TO THE RESTORATION OF HIS GLORY IN AFRICA.(Jere.22:15).

 

Paraventure our male counterparts might have failed God in one way or the other, there is still hope for the continent through her women.  As the place of women cannot be over looked , being  wives and mothers.

 

This is why the African Female Ministers would have  to stand as watchmen to see that the glory of God is returned in Africa.  As we hold on to righteousness, obedience to His Words and the fear of God across the continent (Jere.9:17 to 19).

 

In the time past, African women were voiceless, but today we have freedom of speech and expression.  And most importantly, God has  made us joint heirs with His son Jesus.  We are royal priesthoods. (Romans 8:17, 1st Peter 2:9).

 

Thereby giving us the opportunity as priests to pull down the evil altars that our fore fathers erected.  Which has destroyed so many destinies of African children in the continent.

 

We must come  to the place of knowledge and spiritual maturity, as Female ministers to be able to deal with the strongholds in our nations and continent.  If we must be relevant in our generation.  In order to make the impact expected of us by God in our season(Jere.51:20).

 

We are more than able to bring a change in the continent of Africa.  As we build according to the pattern God has given us in our various ministries and churches.  To make the expected impact in our different nations  and the continent in general.  And at the same time  allow Him to purify us (Malachi 3:3).

 

We need one another in this divine PROJECT for the continent.  As the hope of the world at this end time rests on the continent of  AFRICA.  We must not fail God as WOMEN IN MINISTRY. For God called us specially for a divine commission that must be done.  So as to make God a praise in Africa.  We must as female ministers endeavour to go an extra mile in order to redeem the glory of God in the CONTINENT OF AFRICA.
