“I hear a cry as of a woman in labor, a groan as of one
bearing her first child--the cry of the Daughter of Zion gasping for breath,
stretching out her hands and saying, "Alas! I am fainting; my life is
given over to murderers." Jeremiah 4:31
One of Islam’s greatest weaknesses is its treatment of
women. Women constitute 60 percent of the Muslim world and have been pushed
down into a station in so low that they have nothing else to lose. When over
half of the people in a movement, not matter how strong they believe they are
keep shackled by religious and socially bigotry. They become a lose threat in
the fabric of a society. This treat once pulled will unravel that society.
Desperate people will do desperate things to change their situation,
Like the Israelite’s in Egypt, that were pushed to their limits by powerful
oppressors and with no human hope in sight, women of Islam could end up
fallowing the Israelites who “ cried out; and their cry for help because of
their bondage rose up to God” Exodus 2:23
God has a solid record for hearing people’s desperate cries beginning
with Hagar when she fled into the wilderness, pregnant with Ishmael. Could it
be that her descendants, the women of Islam out of desperation call upon God to
deliverer them. Setting themselves free to become a part of the growing number
of women that will be lifted up by God Himself to spread His word.
As we look with in the Christian church system, where women members
outnumber men, women have choice to simple walk away from their religious up bring.
The average number of members in most
churches know consistence of 100 members. Why? Because the history of the
Christian churches from the moment that Jesus began to minister, have been started
by women. Some began with a simple door
opening, and an invitation to spend the night to a traveling Apostle. Our
American history tells us that much church began in someone’s barn, led by a traveling
Pastor.
But these same women that are leaving the church system and
the religious bondage that has keep them down. By the most part, they do not leave their
beliefs in Jesus Christ behind them as walk out of the sanctuary, on the
contrary. The simple action of walking out from under the bondage they have
been experiencing, gives them a sense of peace and freedom they have never felt
as long as they were attending church.
As a result, they begin to grow in their
relationship with the Lord.
Of course there are acceptations. For some women have been
so spiritually abused, that it will take time to heal their broken heart and
bring them back into a relationship with the Lord. Thank God for when; “The righteous cry out,
and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is
close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalms
34:17-18
