Far above rubies

To be far above rubies is to sit with Christ in heavenly places far above principalities and powers. A Christian woman has been bought by the blood of Jesus and you can never put a price on that. Rubies are precious stones considered to be next in value to diamonds. The value of a stone is determined by its purity.

To be far above rubies is to be a woman of prayer – not the one who sleeps all night. A woman who is far above rubies is a warrior – a prayer warrior. To be far above rubies is to be a woman of virtue-filled with the Holy Ghost and bearing fruit, a woman whose mouth is controlled by the Spirit of God, having a quiet spirit. She can hear the Lord when He speaks

To be far above rubies is to be a woman who is trustworthy. Sister, are you trustworthy? Can your husband’s heart, sister’s heart or church members’ hearts safely trust you?

Many of us are here today because of the prayers of our mothers but how many of us pray for our children?

Any woman operating below this standard has lost her value and like salt without savour, will be thrown on the ground to be trodden on. Nobody throws gems or precious stones on the floor.

A woman who is far above rubies is a mother – she nurtures. This goes beyond carrying a child in your womb; it is about serving others with your gifts and resources so hery can prosper. Deborah was such a woman. Deborah’s generation was preserved because of her.

What will your generation say about you?

You are far above rubies; don’t live as though you were less.
