The Unseen Power of a Woman

 




Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga 


Men often appear physically intimidating, leaving no doubt about their strength. In contrast, a woman’s slender physique and gentle nature may suggest vulnerability. However, this perception is far from accurate.


A woman’s power lies not in her physical appearance but in her influence, care, and guidance. She is the pivot around which her family revolves, providing sustenance and support to her children and husband.


The Destiny Maker

A woman holds the destiny of her family in her hands. Her strength and resilience shape the lives of those around her. A man who recognizes this will cultivate a strong bond with his wife, acknowledging her vital role in his journey.


The 300-Night Benchmark

If a man chooses to spend over 300 nights at home with his wife, despite external attractions, it’s a testament to her profound influence. This benchmark underscores the significant impact a woman can have on her partner.


The Five Pillars of a Woman’s Power

1. Guarantor: A woman provides stability and security, ensuring her loved ones’ well-being. Her assurances and good wishes instill hope and willpower.

2. Motivator: She inspires and motivates her family, helping them reach their full potential. A man will sacrifice for a woman who motivates him, fostering a sense of responsibility and hard work within the family.

3. Caregiver: A woman’s nurturing nature makes her an exceptional caregiver, providing love, comfort, and support. The exchange of roles within the family creates a loving environment, promoting cohesion and unity.

4. Advisor: Her intuition and wisdom make her a trusted advisor, offering guidance and counsel. A woman’s advice is invaluable, especially when she has invested quality time with her family.

5. Wife: A woman’s role as a wife is multifaceted, encompassing love, loyalty, and partnership. Her presence ties a man to the family without regret, fostering a sense of belonging.


Conclusion

A woman’s power is not always visible, but its impact is undeniable. By recognizing and celebrating her influence, we can build stronger, more resilient families and relationships. When women are empowered, excuses for poverty and despair disappear, replaced by a brighter, more hopeful future.

In loving memory of Mrs. Josephine Machuma (Nee Matongo)

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga   Mrs. Machuma played a pivotal role in shaping my Christian values and that of many during her time as a Sunday School teacher at St. Stephen United Methodist Church in the early 80s. Her catechism teachings strengthened my faith in the birth and death of Jesus Christ, and her picturesque illustrations of God’s omnipotence and omniscience remain vivid in my mind. As a dedicated teacher with stints at Zengeza 5 and 8 Primary Schools, Mrs. Machuma was known for her blunt yet nurturing approach. She would candidly address shortcomings, and her passion for education was evident. Many students, including myself, benefited from her guidance, and I’m sure many share my sentiments about her calling to educate. Together with her husband, Mr. Shepherd Machuma, the family embodied the good teachings of John Wesley. Their union, bound by vows of love and commitment, was a testament to the power of marriage. Even in separation, their love remains unwaver...

United Methodist Church: A Path of Continuous Improvement

   Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga  As a product of the United Methodist Church, I've come to realize the immense value of the administrative, business and leadership skills that the church imparts. Initially, I didn't appreciate these aspects, but after exploring other denominations, I returned to the United Methodist Church, recognizing its exceptional leadership development opportunities. The church's reporting system has had a profound impact on my self-development, and the process of worship, family ministering, and starting new churches has equipped me with replicable skills that I've applied to my daily life. Through the United Methodist Church, I've developed strong decision-making skills, strategic thinking, and effective communication. These skills have, in turn, fostered my commitment to transparency and social justice, which are now core values that I uphold in all my endeavors. I've come to expect accountability and fairness in any group or associa...

Love, Sex, and Marriage: Three Sides of the Same Coin

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga In today’s society, the lines between love, sex, and marriage are often blurred. Sex has been commercialized and portrayed as a pleasurable act, while love is taught through upbringing and personal experiences. Marriage, on the other hand, has become a duty where two people often find themselves tied together due to sex and social prestige. Love vs. Sex Sex is a natural instinct, while love is a cultivated emotion that allows us to accommodate someone who is not ourselves. As I often say in my sessions with young adults, every creature that reproduces enjoys sex. However, it’s love that sets us apart. We can plan and work on love, tolerating and forgiving someone who is different from us. Love disciplines us on who to have sex with, and mutual desire is a design of our own making. While sex and love are interconnected, they serve different purposes. Sex is driven by inner feelings that aim to satisfy reproduction, whereas love is a choice that req...
