The Importance of a Mother's Role :: Mo Isom Aiken [EP39]

Today’s episode seems more critically important today than ever before. The role of mothers is slowly eroding blocked out by competing interests and societal priorities, yet it doesn’t mean a mother’s value has changed. In this episode, Mo Isom Aiken shares her heart on the importance of a mother using the example of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Mo points to Mary’s perseverance, tenacity, and above all her humility, as the mother of Jesus to make her point about mother’s privilege. “When I think of motherhood, I just weep. After I had my first, I just thought of Mary, and the pains of her labor and the reality of bringing forth life and what a privilege it is…”Mo shares that when people look at the word of God, they instantly are faced with the truth about a women’s worth and true beauty. She opines that she needs to be constantly reminded of this and keep it locked deeply in heart while aligning it with God’s will for her life. “If we look at the word of God, we can see the role and value of woman. It is a beautiful and miraculous thing. And the gift of motherhood is truly an honor and of kingdom importance.”To showcase a mother’s importance, God allows what we’ll term as “sovereign shaking.” That means He allows disruption and shifting to enter our lives, but not to harm us but to squeeze out the very best. Mo has seen the excellent results of “sovereign shaking,” especially during the pandemic. God wants to open our eyes to our weaknesses and wake us from our slumber to let us see our true identity. Why you may ask? Mo answers it: He wants us to take up our mantle.“Right now God is raising up a generation of kingdom warriors. He is the general and we are the ranks right beneath Him, following His orders and raising the kingdom army that is to come.”What we chat aboutRole of motherhoodThe importance of motherhoodKingdom importanceRaising up kingdom childrenPreparation in times of adversity
