      Acknowledgement

      I want to glorify the almighty God of Heaven for inspiring the birth of ‘THE WOMAN I DESIRE TO BE’ This book is a result of my experience in conselling rooms and the observation of my mentors, Pastors Amos and Esther Fenwa. You are both indeed true and compassionate leaders.

      My gratitude extends beyond the names listed below, to those who have supported my endeavors in so many ways; who have gone beyond the call of duty:

      Pastor Toyin and Esther Adewumi of Christ Glory Ministry, Dublin Ireland. Minister John and Sade Siju, Sunday and Tomike Siju, and Pastor Tope Alex and Demola Siju who have a great passion for writing Christian literature.

      I will love to appreciate Mr. Michael Emmanuel and Mr. Abiodun Aruna for their selfless work on the arrangement and the cover.

      I celebrate all my pastor friends for their love and support for the birth of this book.

      To all leaders and members of Holy Ghost Christian Center, New Jersey, whom God has used to shape my thinking and approach to ministry. You are the best congregation any pastor will love to lead.

      Finally to my Family, my darling wife, Lolade Siju, thank you for your love and companionship over the past Eleven years. There is no better time to say I love you. To the stars in my life (Deborah, Michael and David Siju), daddy loves you dearly.

      Foreword

      This book is an epistle of requirements for any woman who wants to fulfil the divine purpose of God for her life. Many people do not really understand the reason why they were created to exist, it is like one’s purpose explained in a script written before the act, knowing your personality and your make up can help you maximise your potential because an undiscovered potential is like a wasted potential, your eyes see, your nose smells, your ear hears; one must perform his /her role in life. It is not for only women, men can also read it to be able to know why the woman in their lives act the way they do, like I told a man your physical strength is to work more than your wife and to pay bills more than her especially as the husband and father over your home.

      The woman I desire to be is for you to know your desire so that you can acquire what it takes to have a fulfilled purposeful personality.

      Please take it, read it, digest and act it.

      Amos Fenwa

      Introduction

      The desire of a woman, this book refers to behaviors and characteristics of females within a religious tradition and also the influence that particular women have had on the growth of that tradition. Ignored for very long, women’s desire is a topic that has attracted a great deal of controversy and interest since the arrival of the feminist movement in the past century. At the same time as early feminists criticized religions for legitimating patriarchy, later research has shown that as per religion, the desire of women varies considerably.

      It has been said that human (Men & Women) beings are the only creation of God who never fully realize their potential. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. How fast will a cheetah run? As fast as its legs can carry it. How beautiful will a flower be? How loud will a lion roar? How sweetly will a bird sing? The majesty of the mountains, the grandeur of the ocean, the breath-taking beauty of the coral reef. The way of an eagle in the air, the fluttering of a butterfly’s wings—all of God’s creatures giving their best and fulfilling their lives

      To evaluate women’s desire, one must think about not only their place as being religious but also as a non-believer. One must distinguish between official teachings of religion and popular movements and between what is taught and what is actually practiced.

      CHAPTER ONE

      Who is a Woman?—The Makeup, Personality and Strength

      Woman: Latest Version of God’s Creation

      At present, women put into effect formal leadership as teachers, preachers, ministers and even bishops in more or less every Christian denomination. However that is rather a recent development. As early as the seventeenth century, Quakers allowed women to preach, however majority of Christian groups did not allow women learn theology, to lead prayer, to preach, or to vote in church assemblies until the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. These exclusions were reinforced as churches accepted certain biblical passages that commanded women not to speak in church and on the notion that leadership in the early church was implemented more or less absolutely by men.

      In the nineteenth century, a rush of religious passion, at least in the Western world, and a progressing movement for the suffrage of women both contributed to the augmentation of women’s missionary movements. Women started to organize around offering housing, food, education, and a number of other social services for the deprived in their own homes as well as in mission fields in Africa, India, and China. Believing that women could do more than serve as quiet helpers to the men in the field, they also established educational programs to prepare women for the
