Church Girl
posted this in 2022 on my insta thought it was still good to remind myself today!
i don’t normally post things like this
but it’s been prominent in the world and is now leaking its way into the church or should i say apostolic world the phrase “i don’t need a man” and trust me, i’ve been guilty. i thought it was a cute little saying but what i didn’t realize is that, that saying was pushing “a submission problem”
so before the devil comes to capture the minds of the apostolic women with the phrase “i don’t need a man or i’m an independent woman”
i’ve come to turn on a light switch!
i came across a video this morning about a song beyoncé just released called “church girl”.
in this song she was promoting that you can still be a church girl but when you step into that party dance how you want, be that independent women that you are, you can still be a church girl but live your life. you don’t need a man.
one verse goes:
“you know you got church in the morning
but your doin God’s work, you goin in
she ain’t tryna hurt nobody
she just tryna do the best she can
happy on her own
with her friends, without a man”
this generation is degrading men, becoming more “feminist”, when God created men to be the very head of our households, God created men to LEAD not for women to “wear the pants in the house”. That very saying came from a woman who couldn’t submit to her man. The enemy is after the men and if he can get the men to shut up, if he can get the men to become more “feminine” then he’s got the women and then the children and their children children’s. there’s no reproduction going (as it was God’s commandment “to go and replenish the earth”)
there’s no order and the devil loves to work in chaos because God is not the author of confusion.
so here i’m changing what i say into “i do need a man” and that doesn’t mean that i’m desperate and that doesn’t mean that YOU become desperate for a man. let’s knock that devil down too. this is all to say that,
i need a man to lead my household, i need a father to protect and lead his family, and i need a bishop/pastor to be that lighthouse and to tell me when i’m going astray.
who would have thought that something that started in 1900s would have a HUGE impact on our world today.#christian #christiangirly #womanofgod #jesus
In today's world, conversations about women's independence often intertwine with discussions about traditional gender roles in the church. The term 'Church Girl' evokes a duality where faith meets modernity. Beyoncé's song, celebrating the ability to embrace individuality while maintaining one's religious identity, encourages apostolic women to redefine their narratives. This song highlights a shift towards reclaiming the importance of men in the household, emphasizing that acknowledging a need for male leadership does not equate to desperation. It prompts a reevaluation of the culturally popular catchphrase, 'I don't need a man,' which some argue undermines the foundational roles established by God for both men and women. Research indicates that strong male figures positively influence family stability and child development, reaffirming traditional biblical values. As women of faith engage with these ideas, they simultaneously challenge societal norms while fostering their spiritual growth. The conversation continues to evolve, blending empowerment with tradition, and asking: can one truly embody both a 'Church Girl' and an independent woman? Ultimately, this dialogue holds profound implications for future generations as they navigate the complexities of faith and identity.
