"Soon afterward Jesus began a tour of the nearby towns and villages, preaching and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom of God. He took his twelve disciples with him, along with some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases. Among them were Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons; Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s business manager; Susanna; and many others who were contributing from their own resources to support Jesus and his disciples." {Luke 8:1-3}
The Women who followed Jesus were changed, transformed, saved, sanctified, healed, and restored! What wise women they are to follow, KING JESUS. They trusted His guidance and followed in His footsteps.
These remarkable women worked hard and contributed their substance, resources, their own possessions for the Glory of God. They were “Kingdom business-minded and about their Fathers business.”
May we be women who contribute, who lend helping hands, who encourage and inspire. May we be women who joyfully serve in love. May we cultivate a servant’s heart. May we work with all our might as working for the LORD.

“Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve.” Colossians 3:23-24 AMP
