Matthew 6:33 Book in Brief
In Chosen Vessels: Women of Color, Keys to Change author Rebecca Florence Osaigbovo reminds African American Christian women of their vital roles in God’s plan for their lives, families and for society as a whole. Osaigbovo starts by showing women the way it can be when they allow God’s Spirit to work. She then lays out the vision of what she thinks God’s plan is for African American Christian women, and how satan attacks them in order to disrupt that plan. Lastly, Osaigbovo examines how to get out from under the enemy’s plan and into the hands of a faithful God as his chosen vessels. WHAT'S NEW WITH REVISED BOOK:
Excerpt “God has a specific message for African American women. What is the thrust of that message? God wants to confront and root out deeply ingrained lies. He wants us to see ourselves as a significant part of his plan. God desires for us to be special recipients of his grace. We can then give of ourselves from that grace and be a force for change in the kingdom, and in the world… “God is not prejudiced. He does not love us more than anyone else, and he doesn’t love everyone else more than us. Everyone can be in close partnership with God, knowing their God and doing exploits (Daniel 11:2). Everyone is called. But few are chosen. I believe that many African American women are destined to be chosen vessels. This means that not only are they called, but they are also chosen to participate with the heavenly Father in bringing his will on earth as it is in heaven.” "I’m currently housed at California Institute for women. I’ve been here for 8 years now on a 15 to life sentence. I read a book by: Rebecca F. Osaigbovo called: Chosen Vessel Women of Color. Key toChange. I’m a 35 year old African American Woman and I want you to know the book inspired me to the fullest. . . . Now I have a positive attitude towards myself and God has truly entered my life. . . .When I received the book my friend let me read it. It moved me in so many ways until I’m still talking about it." — Name withheld "I congratulate you on a well researched book that I believe will be a tremendous blessing and source of inspiration for all who read it." — Dr. Myles Munroe, Bahamas Faith Ministries International “Chosen Vessels gripped my heart like no other book . . . While Chosen Vessels is targeted to women of color, every Christian woman should read this book. Rebecca challenges all of us to embrace the fact that we are a chosen vessel so we can be free to become the woman God wants us to be.” — Carol Kent, speaker and author of Becoming a Woman of Influence "I would like to take this opportunity to express my sentiments on your inspired book Chosen Vessels, Women of Color, Keys to Change The book was a spiritual blessing, personally and professionally, for me. I have shared the book with friends and relatives, and they like me, believe that what you wrote offers understanding and solace for African American women.
