7figure$ MOTHER’S DAY ISSUE MAY 2021

I REMEMBERING MOTHERS IN THE PHILIPPINES & INDIA

n the Philippines there are around 13 million plus single mothers across the nation. Their standard of living and their ability to provide the most basic human needs are dismal. For a mother unable to generate the income required to take care of her family is painstaking. The basic human needs for those in poverty needs the Church to intercede in behalf of them. The very thought of a family without food, clothing, heat, water toiletries is bewildering. The Philippines remains a deeply divided country economically, with over 20% of the country estimated to be living in poverty as of 2018. A 2007

report released by the World Health Organization (WHO), in conjunction with the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) and the University of the Philippines, found that of the 14 million single parents in the Philippines, 95% were women, and this number is likely far greater today. The lack of a stable

homosexuality, and the control over the woman’s body and possible sell of her on the internet to a buyer be it for sex or slavery is not God’s plan for the mothers, the children and the children having children. Children having children have no knowledge of motherhood.

age for legal marriage is 18 we find that any young girls who become pregnant is likely to be left to their own destinies. The vast number of unintended pregnancies, and the criminality and extremely archaic views towards abortion means that any attempt to terminate the pregnancy

income would is felt in the aching stomachs of those living in poverty. Let me provide you transparent background. The widespread human trafficking and brutal suppression of adultery,

Despite major advancements in women’s rights, and two female presidents in less than 20 years, significant issues still prevail, chief of which is the age of sexual consent, which remains at 12 years of age. As the minimum

would be in violation of the law. Children in these conditions are sometimes void of the knowledge of just who their mother is and the thought of why isn’t she here to help me. The Body of Christ cannot forsake such travesty.

The attitude in Philippines towards women, as well as the outdated laws regarding the means of contraception, abortion, and the age of consent have resulted in a large number of single mothers. Yet, this situation is not unique to just Philippines which is a fantastic nation composed of beautiful people are crying out from the povertystricken pockets of its country. Globally, this same story is duplicated in other nations including the United States of America, Europe and Africa. The entrance of COVID-19 added unexpected tension, strain, and alarming pressure and stress on mothers. The fear factor and feeling of desperation is painful. Covid was designed to bring fear, death, desperation and control in the earth. The enemy of God is stirring up his game plan because he knows his time is nearing defeat; but God’s plan always supersedes and annihilates his. How? Through the Body of Christ who pray His Word back to Him enabling His will to be done in the earth. But Church are you praying God’s Word? It is time to address the societal issues that has plagued these vulnerable single mothers and their families for too long. So, by faith and in the authority of Jesus Name we pray God’s promised Word with expectation of miraculous breakthrough comes to 14

Mothers Experiencing Coronavirus Issues, Lack And Fear the Philippines. Let’s address the pain in India today. Israel sent a shipment of life-saving medical supplies to India to help the country fight a devastating new outbreak of the coronavirus. The medical equipment, oxygen generators and oxygen respirators, as well as medical equipment were sent to aid in helping families of Israel’s ally. During the first days of the pandemic in 2020 Israel was in need and India sent much-needed medical equipment, including gloves, masks, and materials for medicines. Israel’s reciprocal act was a small token of friendship from Israel to India. The issue today is praying about making sure all of the people of India have access to the medical supplies, equipment as well as food, water and other necessities despite their caste system in life. India is on a caste system and those in rural areas have been locked down daily with restrictions to time and travel. Therefore, many people, pastors, orphans, and family members have died from covid in the outlying rural areas desperately in need. So what is a caste system? 15

Here’s a breakdown of the caste system in India: The Brahmins are the priests and teachers. The Kshatriyas are the warriors and rulers. The Vaishyas are the farmers, traders and merchants. The Shudras are the laborers The Dalits are the outcasts; the street sweepers and latrine cleaners. The system which divides Hindus into rigid hierarchical groups based on their karma (work) and dharma (the Hindi word for religion, but here it means duty) is generally accepted to be more than 3,000 years old. Many believe that the groups originated from Brahma, their Hindu God of creation. At the top of the hierarchy were the Brahmins who were mainly teachers and intellectuals and are believed to have come from Brahma’s head. Then came the Kshatriyas, or the warriors and rulers, supposedly from his arms. The third slot went to the Vaishyas, or the traders, who were created from his thighs. At the bottom of the heap were the Shudras, who came from Brahma’s

feet and did all the menial jobs. The main castes were further divided into about 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes, each based on their specific occupation. Outside of this Hindu caste system were the achhoots - the Dalits or the untouchables. For centuries, caste has dictated almost every aspect of Hindu religious and social life, with each group occupying a specific place in this complex hierarchy. Rural communities have long been arranged on the basis of castes - the upper and lower castes almost always lived in segregated colonies, the water wells were not shared, Brahmins would not accept food or drink from the Shudras, and one could marry only within one’s caste. In recent decades, with the spread of secular education and growing urbanization, the influence of caste has somewhat declined, especially in cities where different castes live side-by-side and inter-caste marriages are becoming more common. In certain southern states and in the northern state of Bihar, many people began using just one name after social reform movements. Despite the changes though, caste identities remain strong, and last names are almost always indications of what caste a 16 person belongs to. We have heard the tragic news of a mother in the rural area committing suicide and taking the life of her ten year old son and six year old daughter prior to taking her own due to the lack of food, water and overwhelming fear. This tragedy devastated the villagers and their basic needs are mounting. Imagine the thoughts of a mother to a newborn, or child of any age that she cannot provide for. Jesus told us in Mark 16:15 to “Go ye” into all the world, so let’s do it. Ask God what you should give and be obedient to do so. Send your donations to: Project O.I.L.

Prayer For Philippines, India And Israel (Note: At this time we do not have a resource for Philippines). Father God, in the Name and authority of Your Son Jesus Christ we decree the bondage to be removed from Your people. We thank You that no weapon formed against them shall prosper and that You supply every need according to Your riches in glory. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We thank You that India, Israel and the Philippines are blessed beyond measure and that they dwell in the secret place of You, The Most High. Thank You Father for being their refuge and their fortress and in You will they trust. Surely Father, You will deliver them from the noisome pestilence of covid 19 and You will cover them with Your Feathers and under Your Wings shall they trust, Your Truth shall be their shield and buckler and they shall not be afraid of the terror by night nor for the arrow that flight by day; nor for covid 19 that walks in darkness, nor any destruction at noonday. Thank You Jehovah that a thousand shall fall at their side and 10,000 at their right hand but it shall not come nigh them. There shall no evil befall them, neither shall any plague nor human trafficking come nigh their dwelling because You give Your angels charge over them this moment to keep them in all Thy ways. They shall call upon You and You will answer them, You will be with them in trouble and You will deliver them and honor them. With long life will You satisfy them and show them Your Salvation.
