Should Women work?
Yes, women are God's keys to the Transference of Wealth:
1. The Proverbs 31 woman
The Proverbs 31 woman didn't just provide for her family. She made enough to buy land.
Proverbs 31:16
She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.
She did not just sell cookies -- it wasn't just a hobby job over the weekend when the kids were out. She did not just sell her goods to one or two customers, but was a supplier, not just to one business but to businesses. She was a manufacturer, supplier and distributor of clothes,
Proverbs 31:24
She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
2. Lydia, the seller of purple
Acts 16:14-15
14 Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. 15 And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
Lydia was a seller of purple meaning she is a businesswoman. If you learn about the culture of those days, only rich people wore purple. She was the manufacturer of purple clothes.
3. The Egyptian Women
When the Egyptians left Egypt, it was the women, not the men, that God used by commanding them collect gold from the Egyptians.
Exodus 3:22
But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, namely, of her who dwells near her house, articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.”
It was not just a little -- it was so much gold that God even mentioned it to Abraham more than four hundred years earlier, when God told him that his descendants would be inhabiting the land of Canaan in the future. God told Abraham that this is how the Israelites were going to plunder the Egyptians.
Genesis 15:14
And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions.
Women are God's key instruments for the transference of wealth. I believe this is because women are generally charitable, selfless, generous and trustworthy.
Proverbs 31:17-20
She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
4. Israelite Women
As for work, women had jobs that men did not do. This is why when God warned the Israelites about wanting a king, he said through Samuel:
1 Samuel 8:13
He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.
