WHY A WOMAN SHOULD PREPARE TO BE FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT by RC BLAKES

[@rebeccarobinson2547]

This man has truly changed my life. I was at the gym yesterday and Sista who transformed her body after giving birth to two children, commented on how alot of Men don't understand and appreciate what a Woman and her body go through giving birth. So when she was giving me some training tips. We got on the topic of relationships after that comment. I asked her if she heard of Pastor RC Blakes? She lit up and said. " Girl, ain't that the Man of God. I love him". You're helping us retake our thrones sir. All the way from San Francisco!

[@rainarelaford1504]

My little Mexican grandma taught this to me when I was a child and she was combing and braiding my hair. She said I must study, go to college, and establish a career before marrying. The rest of the family also stressed and set the expectation of college and a good job.

[@shegotstandards]

Your grandmother taught you well. She's a very wise woman😊

[@GeeLight]

My mom ingrained in me being financially independent at a young age, & she was married for decades in a stable marriage and worked as well. I saw so many women pay the price because they were financially dependent on their partners.

[@InspiredByEbonyLove]

If a man doesn’t want to even be a sole provider for his family’s basic needs - housing, food and clothing, why would a woman burden herself by marrying him, taking on added responsibility as a wife and still have to be responsible for pleasing him and primary child rearing and raising? Nope!

[@BlackBeauty-yl8uq]

Thank you. I’m 39 years old now. I got married at 19 to a wonderful provider. I could never be with a man and have to be a man at the same time. As women, we should not settle for an infidel. It’s good to have your own as well but I encourage women to find your mate according to scriptures .

[@TheEmpress770]

Some men want to be treated like a women and have no idea how to provide. It’s really sad.

Watching this with my Father on a sick bed who left us 19 years for another woman . Me now just separated after investing 14 years in a toxic marriage. Fought my way to Uni but job market is so tight these days...my account so down..Thank you Pastor Blakes and everyone. Keep praying for each other.

[@suzyerichsen6184]

Excellent job Bishop Blakes...every women should invest in herself as much as she invests in her husband and the children. When done so, she puts herself in a position to assist all family members when needed. I wish I would have learned this when I was younger but this was not discussed. Thank you for discussing this.

[@elizabethash4720]

Society is not good to helpless women. ❤ .

[@joiperkins7243]

I can't even imagine who would be against this type of teaching. To oppose this teaching says that a women should always be at the mercy of a man even if he doesn't even choose her. A woman should increase her personal worth even if no one is choosing

[@asomdwemaameafuanyame-kyeh6902]

My father sat me down one day and said "Maa, you are a career woman. Don't let any man turn you into a housewife"! My dad made a lot of mistakes while I was growing up but this is one advise I really appreciate from him. Thanks Pastor, for making me understand why he said that.

[@spm9130]

I will always be thankful to my dad who always talked to me about the importance of a good education and career. He said my brothers could make a plan if things got tough for them, but I would be left with very few options, the easiest being to sell my body to survive, and he would not let me go that route. I’m 54 now, divorced for five years and taking care of myself, my unemployed sons and extended family, including my dad. I’m thankful to God for caring men like my dad and Pastor Blakes who do not hide the truth from us but tell it like it is! May every woman who hears this be transformed in Jesus Christ’s Name! I am definitely sharing this!

[@redjewel83]

Thank you for talking about this. I've been working since the age of 18. I have 3 children and I've been financially for the majority of finances in the household. So much stress. I pray that one day I have a husband sent from God who is stable and has his priorities in order

This is real I was married for 35 years had 6 figure income to match my husband’s income, he got involved with someone who he thought could help him grow faster, I was told by others if a man could walk away from you, where do we stand,, if I didn’t know how to earn I would be lost😢🙏🏽you, my mom used to tell me keep a little money for a rainy day now I know what she meant

Ministry in the church was the main source my husband had, when he fell from grace, he refuse to take care of me and provide for the household, I was left financially empty 22:43 . I followed him and support him practically totally for twenty five years There is a lot of lack, however God is not man. God provides . I trust God🙏🏽. Thanks Bishop the teaching is reality

Thank you Pastor Blake for the reminder that women need to have their own Financial Independence. I love it when you teach on the financials. So much wisdom to be gained from your teachings. Bless you😊

[@Mimichellee]

I grew up without a father my father has children with multiple woman and I never had that father figure in my life besides my grandfather which was a wonderful father figure. I’m planning on buying this book I missed out on so much not having a real man present in my life.❤❤❤

[@outsidethebox8406]

We have the same story. Even though I thank God for having my grandfather in my life, I definitely need this book.

[@Sara-kt6qf]

Same here sis❤

[@carrolarnold8701]

Same here ladies. A poor father figure...smh.

[@naturalgirldiy]

Thank You for sheading light on this touchy subject. Some of us come from a culture that still believes men are the breadwinners and should be the soul financial providers. Even when the reality of the times tells us this is not feasible anymore. In the past I've tried to 'dumb myself down' to not appear too 'independent' but that doesn't work either especially if you happen to be with an insecure man who knows and see's your potential. I thank you for your ministry because it has reinforced what I knew in my heart to be true. As women we endure a lot of unnecessary suffering in the name of culture or societal practises.

[@vanessabrownrigg230]

Speak the truth,let the haters hate. You are where you are because of your truth. God bless you always ❤️🙏🙏❤

[@aliciajay2562]

I adore you! Thank you for all you do to pour into us as women. I have finally reached the stages of my emotional maturity where I released the fears and the anger around childhood poverty and an absentee father. I cry about it from time to time to release the pain at different stages of my development, but the courage to push on is being fueled by a lot of what I am learning through your ministry. I was so angry with men that I refused either to provide certain things for myself or I was hyper focused on never receiving help, just making money and spending reckless but not with the long-term goals in mind. I'm still healing this hurt. I've surrendered and prayed and asked God to heal my mind around this. It's a daily deliverance but messages and sermons like yours and that book "Queenology" have set me free from so much. I know "The Father Daughter Talk" will be just as enrichening for my life and I can't wait to read it. Right now, I am focused on my financial literacy and I am super, super thankful for this message as a positive reinforcer for my financial health. Bless you and all the work you are doing to heal us women in the world! You are an amazing gift to us all.

[@dawnravenel2473]

Thank you Bishop RC, we appreciate you for all you do. I was one who had a father in the home, but he didn't teach me what I needed to know. In fact, some of his bad habits was how I chose the wrong husband twice, but it's all good...I have always known God, but when I decided to kick up my relationship with Him as His daughter, it was life-changing. I can even still love my dad, and forgive his failure as a father...I am still grateful and thankful to have both of my parents in my life. So I focus on the positive, not the negative. I also thank you Bishop RC, because I found Bishop Samuel and I tune into on weekdays for prayer. God's always been there and will never forsake me, so while my Earthly father was limited, my Heavenly Father is not.

This hits home for me. Now I am strong and I will NEVER put myself in that position ever again.

Pastor RC Blakes, you are a man of great wisdom. I love listening to you. I've learned so much about myself just by your teachings. I pray that God continues to bless you and your wife. You two are changing generations for the better. I wish I knew who you were and had the wisdom I have now before I made the mistakes I did in my past. Nobody's future is ever wasted though. Sometimes when I feel discouraged, I just listen to one of your podcasts and it encourages me again! Keep up God's work! You're changing lives. This is one of your best videos by the way😉

I was in a 23 year marriage which I eventually left because of narcissistic abuse . . . and my ex could see how financially independent I was and chose to spend his money on his side chics and exploit my money for the big projects which he should have been spearheading . . . He was also never genuinely happy for me whenever I got a pay rise . He saw me as competition . . .

[@monicawest4000]

You are absolutely correct, Bishop!! All women should be able to provide for themselves!! Regardless of her marital status. Please note ... "should be able to" is the important part of my statement.

[@meli7315]

Thank you beautiful soul, you have changed my life for better ❤ it’s so true what you say that they don’t have the desire being a provider and creating a family it’s like “no interest I like going travel I need this money for myself” I have heard that so many times when I asked someone “do you have in mind creating an own family wit woman and kids?” and they were in their 30’s…. The fun factor is more desirable for them. And can I just say: how many do I know who got married have little children and divorce and the reasons? “The women has changed with the baby (of course a women changes it’s normal)! And when you ask them “what have you tried to save the marriage, therapy?” The answer is “nothing”… it’s really frustrating hearing this! No responsibility no effort nothing !

[@msm3668]

Great message, Bishop...extremely pertinent information the so-called 'modern woman' of today should be receiving, allowing it to resonate in the fiber of her very being. Its beneficial content will empower her for financial stability, freedom of choice(s) and stresses, particularly in her senior years. It (this information) is even more imperative for women who depend on government assistance because the programs it offers were never meant to be permanent. Women, my sisters... 'actualize' everything you desire in a man for yourself...not having to 'depend' but be 'interdependent' WITH a husband you may/will have. This woman is a wise woman who actualizes this empowerment. Thanks again, Bishop.

[@PositiveDeviantPerson]

I wasn’t even 9 minutes into the video, paused, went online to my Bookshelf App and bought the book (Father Daughter) 😂😂😂 Wasn’t even listening to what you said immediately. I grew up not adopted from age 3-18, found my father at almost 30, we didn’t talk for several years after I found him, he and I started to try and talk at the last minute, had a single father daughter talk with me minutes before he died over the phone. He had so many anger issues that when he died over the phone, I thought he was giving me the silent treatment then thought he blocked me. THANK U for my book. The foster system is missing foster fathers and real fathers. When we become an adult it doesn’t help. I never depended on a man because I couldn’t even depend on a foster parent for my needs, but need help understanding wolves. I married a man who didn’t play the man role. I was the man and the woman. He was not a provider.

[@fredajohnson506]

This was very interesting topic and its definitely much needed when was coming up my grandma raises me she taught me old fashion vaules she was taught that a man should take care woman and didn't think woman should wirk but i see niw that made me depend on aman then later end up divorce had get job because didn't work whole time was married didn't have a dad to teach me about how go about in life and how avoid wrong type of men's so cost me lot heartbreak and pain because of wrong choices had made my dad wasn't emotionally available for me which made me end up paying the consequences I know my worth now because iam a child of most high won't settle for less because iam a Queen RC Blake's i really enjoy all the videos you have its helping me to gained so much wisdom even at age being much older woman God bless you and your family

I’m so thankful to have kept my job even when my ex spouse demanded that I quit. He was and still is a narcissist who desired complete control. There was always something set aside financially for a rainy day, which wasn’t much, the older generation always stressed that. I couldn’t allow myself to be totally dependent on him because he wasn’t a dependable person. It took while to get a steady footing because of the the emotional and physical damage that was done. By God’s grace, the children who are now adults and I are in a much better place financially and emotionally. Be prepared always, thanks pastor Blake, you’re absolutely correct.
