A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Winona The name Winona
means 'firstborn daughter'. This can mean one who is actually the first
daughter born in a family or, as in this instance, the first female born
with a gift or ability from the Lord which is of a specific type that is
new, of its kind, or in its way or origin. There are no "new"
gifts of the Spirit, just the ones named in the Bible. But when we are
born again, behold, all things are new! It is in this manner in which we
speak of Winona's gift being new. Consequently, when Winona is born again
she, and everything about her spirit man, becomes new.
Winona, whether she be the first daughter of many or the only one,
is still the first daughter born with this particular gift at this time
and place in history. Only as Winona gives herself over to the Lord Jesus
Christ and learns of Him, His Word and His Ways will she be able to
discern what this gift is that He has given her. Then she will be able to
bear and multiply God's Word and other daughters and sons of the Lord as
well.
She may go through her entire life wondering just what this gift is
that the Lord has given her. On the other hand, she might just walk in it
naturally, going around dropping one seed after another, leaving a trail
of new souls being born into the Kingdom behind her. Whichever it is,
Winona will live a life of one who doesn't take things for granted,
especially anything that has to do with God or His Word. Like Esther she
eventually comes to the conclusion that she was born for such a time as
this. Proverbs 31:30
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth
the LORD, she shall be praised. If interested contact me, Helen Elliott, at helliott4@suddenlink.net A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z © 2002 Helen Elliott All rights reserved
