Previously, I thought that the 1956 women’s March was about fighting for women’s rights but I learnt that it was women fighting against oppression of pass laws. When I read their song “Wathint'Abafazi Wathint'imbokodo”, I then realized that these are the women who have been sitting down and watching their enemies oppress their people but where pieced off that they faced their enemies without a a masculine force or backup of men. As I was making a follow up on the March leaders, I realised that these aggressive rocky Lilian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Albertina Sisulu and Sophia Williams-De Bruyn are the next level women type that I wrote about in my book, The Truth Women need to know. This Offering is not for weak women who can live comfortably and fulfilled in evil environments as long as they to get married, have nice houses, jobs, husbands and kids; this is for the women who are pissed-off and are ready to march into the enemy’s territory.
Wathint'Abafazi Wathint'imbokodo!
After understanding what the 1956 women’s march was all about, I then learnt the context of their song (slogan) : Wathint'Abafazi Wathint'imbokodo! (Now you have touched the women, you have struck a rock.). This scares me even as I write because I know that women (and females in general) are the sweetest and soft people on the planet… until you try to harm or touch their babies! I have seen it even in all type of mammals, birds, insects and any living creatures that the female attacks an impostor with such wrath, rage and everything she’s got. Maybe that’s why when we are in trouble, we don’t scream for daddy because perhaps dad can come 10 minutes later after reading the sports column on the paper and even when he arrives, he could react like, “I told you not to play there, get up and go to mommy to give you something to eat. It’s just a broken neck come-on, be a man!” But if in trouble and you scream “Mommy!” Or “mama!” Or “mawe!”… yoooo! It could just be an ant biting you but she would surely come running and would remove that heel and slap it hard. In protecting her family, the raged female would chase an imposter back into their territory brutalized to leave a mark for everyone to know that Wathint'Abafazi Wathint'imbokodo!
The Lord has lain in my heart for years to compare a woman (particularly, Eve) with the Holy Spirit in attributes. He further laid it in my heart that He sent all sorts of messengers and warriors to defend the earth but saved the best for last, the Holy Spirit, the last number! Now, I know that many of you, ladies and Christians, are sitting and watching the enemy destroying your young and communities with drugs, crime, abuse, poverty etc but you are still letting the government, police, politicians, Justice system etc to attempt fixing the problem before once you are touched to the limit, it is all over! They would have touched the last number, the rock!
Based on Genesis 3:15 and Luke 1:26- 38, in “The Truth Women need to know” book, I write about the fact that God set enmity between the woman, Eve, and that her (Mary’s) Offspring, Jesus, would crash the serpent’s heard. It is very important to note that this is not a fight between a man and the devil but a woman and the devil. The Bible is very clear that men (Adam and Joseph) were not involved in that , in fact God wants to make sure that you understand that the thing which you are caring is not from men:
Luke 1:34-35 AMP And Mary said to the angel, How can this be, since I have no [intimacy with any man as a] husband? 35 Then the angel said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you [like a shining cloud]; and so the holy (pure, sinless) Thing (Offspring) which shall be born of you will be called the Son of God. [Exod. 40:34; Isa. 7:14.]
The reason for the above is not to make women rebellious or to disrespect order ordained by God or the authority of a man or anything unGodly; but I believe it’s because God wants you to know who the author and the source of your power (the Thing you are caring in you) is so that when your time comes to march into the enemy’s territory, you would not chicken out when you don’t have men to back you up but you would be bold. And quite frankly, some men would reject you because of this thing (dream/vision) that the Lord has laid in you just like Joseph did. So, you must be in a position that you know your God personally not to fade away or be utterly destroyed when people reject you. Your best friends would start to think you have gone insane and people would cut you out of their circles, all because of your calling. That is why God came to meet you face to face without consulting the authorities so that you may know Him personally and through that relationship, you would be able to withstand tough times when nobody support your vision or your dream.
The Lord has also lain in my heart to compare the nation of Israel to the Church, the bride of Christ which is a feminine symbol. Israel did not have a face to face relationship with God, they did not know him and that is why when problems arose, they ran to Moses, who knew God.
Numbers 21:4-7 NLT Then the people of Israel set out from Mount Hor, taking the road to the Red Sea to go around the land of Edom. But the people grew impatient with the long journey, 5 and they began to speak against God and Moses. "Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die here in the wilderness?" they complained. "There is nothing to eat here and nothing to drink. And we hate this horrible manna!" 6 So the LORD sent poisonous snakes among the people, and many were bitten and died. 7 Then the people came to Moses and cried out, "We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Pray that the LORD will take away the snakes." So Moses prayed for the people.
For a while, the religious mentality have been raising women to look for a man after God’s heart to marry. This is not a bad thing but it has a connotation and an impression that a woman doesn’t need to intimately know God face to face because she is not the head of the family; that God speaks to a man and he speak to his wife and children. It makes sense logically and legalistically but unfortunately the sovereign Lord does not follow any rules and He enjoys doing the impossible (Luke 1:37) ; He is God and would visit a woman without consulting her man and empower her alone with the power to crash her enemy, the devil. I share in the next offering that for the above reason, the next level woman can not afford to have a non-supportive insecure man who doesn’t fear God (‘s plans). The Lord visits the woman personally so that when she would be going to march against the devil, she must know her Lord who is greater than them that she is facing.
Matthew 7:24-25 NLT "Anyone who listens to My teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock.
John 15:5 NLT "Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.
The Lord visit a woman for a relationship to build her on the rock (Jesus, Luke 16:18) where gates of hell would not destroy her when she march towards them ….
To be continued…
