Women across all spheres of life, especially in Enugu State, have been enjoined to inculcate the biblical virtues required of mothers by living as role models and being a source of strength and hope to their husbands.

The Spiritual Director of Jesus Never Fails Ministry, Mrs. Nkem Adu, made this request on Tuesday during the June edition of the Enugu Women Prayer Network held at Michael Okpara Square, Independence Layout Enugu.

Speaking on the topic "Women That Carry the Light," taken from the book of John, Mrs. Adu stated that women play significant roles in the family, which later translate to society at large.

She emphasized that women are special beings created by God to bring positive change to the world and should therefore abstain from ungodly acts such as abortion, gossiping, prostitution, banditry, kidnapping, stealing, and other forms of social vices as they will not lead to any positive outcomes.

Mrs. Adu stressed the importance of total abstinence from political prostitution, which is seen in some women who are eager to gain political power, as it contradicts the moral standards set by God for women to follow and prosper.

She described men as often being tricky, using sweet words and unfulfilled promises to exploit desperate women for their own benefit.

"I am here as a woman of God to tell you the truth as directed by the Holy Spirit," she said. "Every woman here should always remember that she is a special gift to humanity, loved by God.

"We have unique roles to play to ensure a better society that gives God the glory He desires and deserves. Every woman should be a good wife to her husband, a home builder, and a hope giver. It is our duty to train our children well, teaching them to grow up as good ambassadors of our Lord Jesus Christ."

"As God's special creatures, there are certain things we must never indulge in, such as adultery, gossiping, harlotry, banditry, kidnapping, and child trafficking, among other social vices. These acts are inhuman, create a gap between us and God, and won't lead us anywhere."

"Women who wander around sleeping with men to gain political positions or favor should stop such acts, as God detests infidelity from His special people. Indulging in such acts to gain favor has always been rejected by God. It devalues women and others in the eyes of men. Men now are more intelligent than that. Any man that sleeps with you won't give you anything meaningful. They don't give good things to women who are not righteous; rather, they use them and dump them."

Mrs. Adu also emphasized the consequences of engaging in social vices for personal or political gain, stating that such acts must be stopped immediately to avoid further damage to homes.

"Let me tell you, my fellow home builders, when you see women indulging in child trafficking, gossiping, political harlotry, blackmailing, backbiting, power tussling, kidnapping, and so on, their homes are often in disarray. You would be greeted by cockroaches, cobwebs, and constant quarrels among their children because they don't have time for their families and homes."

"We must focus more on building our homes than engaging in frivolous activities. We also need to reduce our reliance on social media and use the time spent there to monitor the development, growth, and well-being of our children."

Mrs. Nkem Adu further advised women on the importance of praying for political leaders at all times, especially the executives, adding that doing so would promote good governance and reduce many of the issues troubling women.

She also prayed for the administration of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah and his family, urging God to strengthen them and give them more wisdom to lead the state effectively.

"Every woman should learn to pray for our political leaders, especially the executives," she said. "When we have good governance, everyone will be happy, and many of the issues troubling us will naturally diminish."

"The leadership of the Enugu Women Prayer Network should continue their good work because God is using our Okpara Square prayers to fight some hidden battles for us."

"I am happy with Dr. Favour Ugwuanyi, the leader of this prayer network, and her team. I want this prayer network to become a national anthem, especially in known Christian states. Let's strive to replicate it simultaneously across the nation and see what God can do for Nigeria as a nation."

Mrs. Adu also prayed for the attendees and the land of Enugu State, conducted deliverances, and led a prophetic march around Okpara Square to invoke God's power for healing on the land.

In her remarks, the coordinator of the Enugu Women Prayer Network, Dr. Mrs. Favour Ugwuanyi, thanked God for the gift of life and His blessings for the state.

She stated that God has been using the monthly prayer exercise to perform wonders for the state and its members and attendees.

She thanked the wife of the Governor, Mrs. Nkechinyere Ihuoma Mbah, for her unwavering and immeasurable support and urged women to act on the word of God from Mrs. Nkem Adu by making peace with God and taking possession of their homes.

Some of the dignitaries present included the wife of the Governor of Enugu State, Mrs. Nkechinyere Ihuoma Mbah, represented by the wife of the Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Mrs. Fina Ugwu; the Chairman of the House Committee on Women Affairs, Children, and Gender in the Enugu State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon.
