In continuation of the 2025 International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day Celebration, distinguished women in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has advised mothers to always pray for their husbands and be exemplary role models for their children.
Wife of Pastor-in-charge, RCCG House of David Zone, Pastor (Mrs) Oluwatoyin Kings in her message to the women in the zone stated that imbibing the character of living an exemplary life and praying for their husbands will bring peace into the family.
Mrs Kings explained that mothers are destiny molders not murderers hence they should exhibit characters that people will say blessed is the womb that carried the children and not otherwise adding that they should rise up to such occasion, be mothers indeed and role models to their children.
“As a mother, I would encourage mothers in House of David that they should rise
up to the occasion and be mothers indeed, role models to their children.
“Pray for your husband, nurture your children in the way of the Lord. That is where their peace lies. When you don’t nurture the children in the way of the Lord, you are only planning or cooking up their pain, their tomorrow pain.”.
She stressed that no perfect marriage exist hence mothers known as home builders should ensure that they are focused, appreciate humble beginning and trust God with their family.
“Don’t look down on today’s small beginning. Just have focus and trust God together. It’s better to start on a humble background and end up great, than to start on a great beginning and end up small. So, my advice to them is that they should stay focused, be more prayerful, be more committed to God, and not leave their homefront for any other thing.
“Abigail was a mother, she was a wife indeed. When David would have killed her husband and the entire generation, God used her to intervene. So, I want our mothers to play the role of Abigail in their homes and the Lord will help them in Jesus’ name.”. She added.

“Educated woman will always seek timely medical care, adopt healthy behavior and preventive measures that will keep the family in good health.
“Education and mentorship have a huge role to play in empowering our women and girls, most especially in most male dominated industries and organization. We have strong women in our society that can break barriers. If such women will have access to guidance, advice, support, and networks that offers a sense of belonging and community, where women and girls can connect with like minded individuals.”.

“Children spell love as time. Let your kids be able to confide in you, Pray and commit them in the hands of God while you also teach them the truth.
