I am that KEPT SHE




I am a Kept She
Not long ago, I had an opportunity to listen to  a very transformative sermon by one of my favorite preachers on YouTube. You know,it was one of those days I find myself struggling to read the Word or even pray. Yes, those days that listening to audio Bible,recorded sermons or just music is my best remedy. Those days that I feel exhausted when someone reminds me to wait upon the Lord for He is faithful. That honey,the longer the wait,the greater the testimony. That I should always remember that the faith that is purified and tested through the fire is that one which will stand the test of time. That you know,its the still waters that run deep kind of affirmations.
Those days when I don't want to be reminded things above. That though it tarries,it shall come to pass. Because, truth is, I know that my helper ( God) is Omnipotent and true to His Word; only that my carnality seems to have overridden my spirituality at that time.
Yeah, those days when I felt like the heaven's must have been so disappointed in me coz of a thing I did or failed to do. Those days when I looked into the mirror and only saw weakness, vulnerability and helplessness!
Today I boast though when I take a detour of those times. I boast in the Lord of the Grace because I am a KEPT SHE;a kept strong, healthy and empowered woman.
I may not have attained it yet but He says,the Lord says, I have JUSTIFIED you. He has saved me. He has kept me.
The Lord looks at me and says, I am daily SANCTIFYING you. He is in help with the Holy Spirit aligning me to His Will through sanctification. On a daily basis am being worked on even as am working on my salvation in trembling and fear. I am daily being kept by Him. I am a kept she.
He looks at me tenderly and says, my daughter; A daughter of the Covenant, I will GLORIFY you someday. I will transform your mortal body which is probe to sin into an immortal one and sin will nolonger reign in you. You are mine, He says. And I rejoice that I will eventually be saved in the future when the Son of Man comes again.
And am so glad, I am a kept she.
No matter how many times I find my faith being tested through the fire, I will open my lips and give thanks for I am a KEPT SHE.
I am kept by Gods Grace...
And as one anonymous writer has put it clearly, am thankful am a Kept she.
She writes..."
You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,
but GOD kept me sane. (Isa. 26:3)

There were times when I thought I could go no longer,
but the LORD kept me moving. (Gen 28:15)

At times, I’ve wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong,
but the HOLY GHOST kept my mouth shut. (Psa. 13)


Sometimes, when I thought the money wasn’t going to be enough, God kept the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc.., (Mat. 6:25-34)

When I thought I would fall, He kept me up. When I thought I was weak,
He kept me strong! (I Pet. 5:7, Mat. 11:28-30)

I could go on and on and on, but I’m sure you hear me!
Praise the Lord and pass the filet mignon!! I’m blessed to be “KEPT.”

Are you…or do you know a “kept” woman?
