“A little one shall become a thousand,
And a small one a strong nation.
I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”
Isaiah 60:22 NKJV

Motherhood is one of the deepest expressions of love, sacrifice, strength, and resilience.

Today, we stand to celebrate every mother, foster mother, guardian, caregiver, and woman who has poured herself out to raise, nurture, protect, and preserve lives.

Many women have endured:

  • sleepless nights,
  • silent tears,
  • rejection,
  • loneliness,
  • abuse,
  • hunger and thirst,
  • financial hardship,
  • emotional exhaustion,
  • homelessness,
  • and seasons of lack,

all while still choosing to love, provide, pray, cover, train, and sacrifice for their children.

Some gave up their own dreams so their children could have a future.
Some carried burdens nobody saw.
Some suffered in silence just to keep their children safe and hopeful.

Sadly, many mothers experience neglect during the seasons they need love, companionship, support, care, and honor the most — often from those they spent their lives nurturing and sacrificing for.

Yet despite the pain, many still rise daily with courage and compassion.

Today, we celebrate you.

Whether you raised your children:

  • as a married woman,
  • a single mother,
  • a widow,
  • a foster mother,
  • an adoptive mother,
  • a grandmother,
  • or a caregiver standing in the gap,

we honor your resilience, strength, endurance, and unwavering love.

Motherhood is:

  • sacrifice,
  • patience,
  • perseverance,
  • compassion,
  • endurance,
  • courage,
  • nurturing,
  • intercession,
  • service,
  • wisdom,
  • gentleness,
  • discipline,
  • and unconditional love.

A godly mother is a builder of generations.

Many of the great men and women we celebrate today stand on the prayers, sacrifices, teachings, and tears of mothers who refused to give up.

“Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her.”Proverbs 31:28 NKJV

The virtuous woman described in Scripture is not weak. She is strong, diligent, wise, compassionate, prayerful, and dependable.

“Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.”
Proverbs 31:25 NKJV

“She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.” Proverbs 31:26 NKJV

And with a standing ovation, we boldly declare:

“Many women have done excellently,
But you excel them all.”
Proverbs 31:29

To every mother carrying invisible wounds while still showing up for others: God sees you.

To every woman who gave her all and feels forgotten: Heaven remembers your labor of love.To every mother praying secretly for her children:
Your prayers are not wasted. To every foster mother and caregiver standing in the gap: Your sacrifice matters.

May God strengthen every weary mother.May He heal every broken heart.
May He restore joy where pain once lived.
May He send help, honor, comfort, and support.
And may generations rise to call you blessed.

As we celebrate motherhood, let every woman rise with joy, dance with gratitude, and celebrate the faithfulness of God through every season.

Today and always, we celebrate:

  • resilience,
  • sacrifice,
  • grace,
  • strength,
  • and victorious motherhood.

You are seen.
You are valued.
You are appreciated.

Building Relationship with God Series: Renewal.

“God’s Presence Is Your Natural Habitat.” Psalm 84:7

When you spend quality and consistent time with God, your life will take a remarkable turn.

In my mother’s dialect, there is a saying: “A bull retreats to regain strength.”

That truth has stayed with me for years. Retreat—what a powerful word. It perfectly describes what happens when we deliberately step back from the noise of life to meet with God. To enjoy renewed strength, we must embrace regular moments of retreat in His presence.

Ingredients for Renewal

1. Set a Specific Time for Fellowship With God. Not the family altar, this time is you alone with God.

He desires you in His presence.

Psalm 55:17

“Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.”

Choose a consistent time and guard it jealously. This is where transformation begins.

2. True Worship : John 4:23–24

“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth…

God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

To worship in spirit and truth means:

Mean every song in your heart. Direct it intentionally to God. Imagine yourself standing before Him. Not lip worship—heart worship.

One of the easiest ways to retreat and regain strength is true worship.

When you come into that sacred space:

Receive cleansing. Forgive anyone who has hurt you. Ask for forgiveness for anything you may have done. Invite the Holy Spirit to help you worship beyond the surface.

Sing whatever song arises—hymns, choruses, psalms, meaning every word deeply as you release it to God.

3. Silence:The Secret of His Power

Psalm 46:10

“Be still, and know that I am God…”

Silence is a spiritual technology.

In 2012, during a personal retreat, the Lord told me:

“Create for Me an atmosphere for miracles through worship.”

As we prepared for a program titled “Worship & Miracles, the Lord added:

“…in the moment of silence, I move; I touch with My healing hands.”

And He did.

People began sharing encounters they experienced in the silence, after the worship, when no more songs came, and we simply waited.

After worshipping for a while, you will reach a point where:

There is no more song The Spirit draws you into holy silence. In that moment, listen for His voice.

4. Document Everything

Whatever God reveals—visions, impressions, scriptures, whispers—write it down immediately.

Your journal becomes your spiritual evidence.

How to Start

Begin with simple daily prayer and reading of the Word. Set aside a separate 10–15 minutes daily for worship and fellowship. Then create monthly retreat times:

Suggested patterns:

12 midnight – 7 am, or 10 pm – 5 am, or A full weekend monthly or quarterly retreat.

This is flexible. Choose what works best for you.
