September Meditation
Unto the Daughters and Handmaidens
By Peggy Shirley
Delron was pregnant! Well before you pass out, let me explain that I am using Dr. Yonggi Cho’s terminology to describe the period of time when God is still developing something inside of us before it comes to fruition or “birth.” In 1992, after several years of prayer for the nation and an inner “gnawing” to minister to the people there, he was on his first mission trip to Nepal. Even though the whole vision of what was to later become Teach All Nations Mission was still an embryo inside his heart, this was the first physical manifestation of what God was in the process of birthing. After God miraculously brought him into contact with the top leaders in the emerging Christian movement in the country, Delron asked if there was anything in specific that they felt that was needed for the church to develop fully in their country. Without hesitation, the gentlemen who would never accept the title even though he totally fulfills the ministry of apostle over the country responded, “Our women need to be educated and shown how to serve in the Body of Christ.” In a third world country such as Nepal, women are totally suppressed yet they make up a major portion of the church. This Nepali leader recognized the tremendous resource within the existing congregations but also realized how tragically it was being ignored and wasted. From that short conversation, a whole new dimension of our ministry was birthed. Without even contacting me, Delron committed to the leadership of the Nepali churches that I would be with him the next year to deliver the women from the bondages that had enslaved them and to begin to train them inhow to take their rightful place in the Kingdom of God.

UNDERSTANDING THE GIFTS
Did you know that everyone of you is a gift to the Body of Christ? This gift can only be unwrapped and given to others when you seek to find out your special endowment and ask God to release it. And this gift can only be of benefit if you use it when the opportunity comes.
I love mentoring other women. It is so rewarding to see the results after I teach the Women for the Harvest class. I can often see gifts lying dormant in women even when the women themselves do not see them. First Timothy 4:14 states, "Do not neglect the gift which is in you, [that special inward endowment] which was directly imparted to you [by the Holy Spirit] by prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you [at your ordination]." (AMP) Many people take this to mean that unless they are officially ordained, God will not give them gifts. This is not true. The Bible is full of examples of people who operated in the gifts even though they were not officially ordained into the ministry. The women we read about in chapter four whom Paul mentioned as evangelists, teachers, pastors, etc., were never written about as having been set apart, yet the gifts flowed through them.

Publishing Ministry
“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” (Isaiah 52:7)
When the Cold War was at its height, some researchers did a study to find out why so many developing nations were embracing Communism. These researchers were told, “The Christians taught us to read, but the Communists gave us something to read.”
People who make a difference--whether it be positive or negative--are people who understand the power of the printed page. In fact, over half of the Christians in the world attribute their salvation to the printed page. Long ago God gave a promise to His people, “For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:10-11)

Daily Ditties from Delron's Desk for September 2010
I believe that a ditty is actually supposed to be a poem or a song, but I grew up with the Carolina colloquialism of a ditty being any short, pithy saying or writing. Having written only one noteworthy poem in my life, I’m definitely not a poet, but I do hope that these few thoughts I’m sharing in this little book will prove to be short and pithy enough to inspire a little something into your life each day.
