Dear
Ladies
It is indeed a privilege and a humbling honour to
greet all the Baptist women of South Africa in the name of Him who alone is
Divine.
I am grateful for the Word of God that exhorts us to
live godly lives. The great thing about it is that we do not need to do it on
our own...His Divine power has given us everything we need to do this through
the knowledge of Christ...2Peter 1:3.
During my tenure, I will be encouraging us to trust,
what I have termed "Divine Treasures", as we desire to live godly
lives.
When we acknowledge that God alone is Divine and the
power displayed within and through this Divineness, we will be motivated and
spurred on to be godly.
As an individual, a daughter of the Most High, our
greatest desire must be to please Him and strive each day for godliness.
Godliness encompasses trust and trusting is never easy. It involves waiting,
hoping and believing. We have these
divine treasures and I encourage us to dig into these treasures....Divine Care,
Ownership, Favour, Leadership, Direction, Guidance, Compassion, Helper,
Protection, Deliverer, Control, and Presence........... Be confident that what
God did for the Israelites in the wilderness, He can display in our personal
lives too. These treasures were evident on their journey and so they can be on
our very own journey to godliness.
Corporately, as a Women’s Department we have an
amazing responsibility and privilege to go beyond ourselves to spread the
gospel and grow the ministry. Our core values speak volumes – valuing the
absolute authority of God’s Word, recognising the power of prayer, being
committed to the Great Commission and valuing excellence in ministry. How awesome to have these at the centre of
our heart. My prayer for those in
leadership in their areas is that they would live these values and promote it
amply. We do not just want to be known but we want to make an impact in the
lives of women. These values, when active within and lived out, will do just
that.
Our various ministries. Bible Way, Women Equip,
Manse Fund Ministry, Pastor’s Wives Ministry, Missions, LACE, Hidden Treasure
Shops....our desired result is souls for Jesus and excellence in ministry.
Thank you in anticipation to all who will put their
hands to the plough in nurturing these amazing ministries and ultimately
blessing and enriching our Women's Department.
To all our Baptist Women......Forward onto victory
in the Divine Name of our Lord.
Be assured of my prayers for all and I value your
prayers as we together serve our Master.
Yours in the Masters Service
Juliana Dreyer
