Self worth is the value a person places on himself or herself. It is like a price tag on a product on a shelf.

If you walked into a store and saw two similar products on the shelf but with two different price tags with one being more pricey how would you begin to rate these products?


Over the years, society has tried to define the worth of a woman and women have come to accept these definitions live up to them and find it abnormal to function outside the jurisdiction of what society says a woman should be.


An average woman who has no grasp on the true worth of a woman often has an identity crisis especially if she finds herself functioning in her best possible capacity outside society’s standards and expectations. She feels like a stranger in her own body seeking validation.


Identity crisis and the need for constant approval is responsible for making a woman thinks that if she is at her optimum performance, especially being successful at what she does in terms of educational level, career and establishments, then she must shoot out her wings in pride letting everyone knows she is extraordinary; perhaps different. She would put up an attitude that’s screaming: “Despite being a woman I am at the top”


When a fish swims, or a bird soars or a lion roars or a wolf howls, no one thinks they are doing something extraordinary, because they are simply functioning in their capacity. So when a woman is achieving great heights she is simply functioning in her capacity she is not extraordinary.


A woman has to come to terms with knowing that she can inherently function at an optimal level as any other person or creature would. So when she attains any significant level, she is not extra gifted, she’s just being herself-reflecting the glory and the functionality that her Creator originally deposited in her.


When she understands this, then she won’t have to look down on others nor would she fights to be recognized as being equal for she already knows she is in equal standing with a man before God.


Genesis 5:2 says He made them both male and female and he blessed them. Nowhere did the Bible say he blessed the men- folks more than he did the women.
Galatians 3:28 says there is neither male nor female as all are in equal standing before God. He is no respecter of anyone as none is more gifted than the other. He only ordained us to function in different capacities working in synergy to keep the world going.

So what then is not the value of a woman?
It doesn’t lie in her sexuality,

It doesn’t lie in her ability to procreate


It doesn’t lie in her role as a wife, nor in her role as a mother.

The marriage is not her highest calling

It doesn’t lay in her ability to multi-task chores-cook, clean, raise kids, neither does it lie in her ability to successfully run the affairs of the family.


All these are roles a woman plays in a family setting and the man as well has his roles. And if he fails to recognize his roles, even if the woman plays hers successfully, the structure of that family would weaken, at worse, it would crumble.
These roles have been put in place by the creator of marriage to have a sane setting for raising kids. So each must understand his or her role and not confuse it for capacity, gifts and functionality.
The fish, the bird the lion and the wolf do not lose their capacity to swim, soar, roar or howl respectively all because they are fending to their young ones or running a home. So never confuse your roles for your capacity or gifts.


You are worth much more than that before God. Christ didn’t die for us just so we could maintain roles and status quo.
The world needs your gifts and contributions to carry –on, there are people around you yearning to use and see the manifestations of these gifts.
Christ said ‘Let your light so shine that people might see and glorify your Father in heaven. ‘
The bible recorded that when He spoke these words, both women and men were present. So if this light shining was for men alone, he sure would have specified, saying something like: ‘men let your light shine before the world and women should say put” praise the Lord, Christ never said that. His words are for everyone, male and female.


Therefore, a woman’s worth is in her knowing she is worth so much to God, that she is loved by Him, gifted by Him can function at her finest, using these gifts to bless all she comes across. She is not seeking applaud or validation from anyone.


A woman’s self-worth lies in her knowing her God for herself- having a personal relationship with God, Knowing God’s thoughts for her by herself not easily swayed by the definition and expectations of the society, not confusing her roles in a family setting for her capacity and functionality.

You are a woman of substance and your self-worth lies in God

Which is?

For something to worth something it means that is it market value and buyers values them differently base on time, resource and location. Buyers first ask the price and offer value they are willing to pay. Some buyers might think the price is cheap, others might think it is high while others might think it is ok. In all these, the importance of the priced item to the buyer determines how much he is willing to pay. Since man named woman, man defines their worth but not their ability.
A woman worth is not the same as a woman ability. A mans worth is not the same as a mans ability.
It is not a crime for a woman to think she is worth more. but it is only people that value them as such that will negotiate a deal with them.
But a woman can do much more than she is worth. That is her ability. It is developed. it is not in every woman.

A woman worth is not the same as a woman's ability. A man's worth is not the same as a man's ability.
It is not a crime for a woman to think she is worth more. but it is only people that value them as such that will negotiate a deal with them.
But a woman can do much more than she is worth. That is her ability. It is developed. it is not in every woman.

It is in every woman but could either be developed or shunned by a woman who has allowed people to define her ability for her.
The worth of a woman is the same as her value but not to be confused for her role in a family setting. A man neither does the dowry determine her worth. These are caste systems put in place by traditions of men. A woman worth the same as man before God. She is equally gifted. I do agree with you that a woman can do much more. But most people don't know or refuse to acknowledge.
