Mentor With Faith Murithi

W.O.R.S.H.I.P. — 5. Honor: But now the Lord declares:  'Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor,  but those who despise me will be disdained (1 Samuel 2:30)  Dear Prudent Woman, Welcome back to Worship Wednesday! We've journeyed through a willing heart, obedience, reverence, and surrender. Today, we explore how worship expresses itself through honor. What Is Honor? Honor means placing value on something or someone. When we honor God, we're saying, "You are worth it. You deserve the best I have to offer." Honor isn't just a feeling; it's an action. It's demonstrated in how we: ✅Spend our time (Do we give God the first part of our day or the tired end?) ✅Use our gifts (Are we serving Him with excellence or halfheartedly?) ✅Manage our resources (Does God get our first fruits or what's left over?) ✅Represent Him (Does our life bring honor to His name?) Honor In Your Time Time is one of the most precious gifts you can give. When you honor Go...

Reaping Your Harvest of Faithfulness: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." (Galatians 5:22-23, NIV). Dear Prudent Woman, If you've walked faithfully through every season we've discussed, prepared your heart, planted good seeds, submitted to pruning, and persisted through the waiting—then get ready. Your season of harvest is here, or it's coming soon, and it will be worth every tear, every sacrifice, every moment of faith. This is the season we've been longing for:  the season of producing fruit. What Does Harvest Look Like? When we think of harvest, we often imagine external blessings: the husband, the healed marriage, the breakthrough, the answered prayer. And yes, God delights in giving us good gifts.  But the deepest, most valuable harvest isn't what you gain; it's who you've become . The real fruit isn't just what happens to you; it's what happens...

W.O.R.S.H.I.P — 4. Surrender: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart,  and lean not on your own understanding;  i n all your ways acknowledge Him,  and He shall direct your paths."  (Proverbs 3:5-6) Dear Prudent Woman, Welcome back to Worship Wednesday! We've explored a willing heart, obedience, and reverence. Today, we dive into one of the most challenging yet liberating aspects of worship—surrender. True worship requires letting go. It demands that we release our grip on the things we've been holding so tightly—our plans, our timelines, our expectations, our need to control outcomes. Surrender is the moment you stop fighting God and start trusting Him completely. The Cost of Surrender Let's be honest; surrender is costly. It costs you your sense of control. It costs you the illusion that you know better than God. It costs you the comfort of familiar patterns, even unhealthy ones. But here's the beautiful truth: What surrender costs you is nothing compared to...

Holding On When You Want to Give Up: Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9, NIV). Dear Prudent Woman,  If you're in this season right now, I see you. This is the hardest season of all—not because of what's happening, but because of what's not happening. You've prepared your heart. You've planted good seeds. You've submitted to God's pruning. And now... you're waiting. And waiting. And still waiting. This is the season of persistence, and it will test everything you believe about God's faithfulness. But hear these words of life:  "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" (Galatians 6:9, NIV). Did you catch that? "If we do not give up." Your harvest is coming, but only if you persist. The Valley Between Sowing and Reaping There's always a gap between planting and harvesting. ...
