As we get ready to sport our autumn colours and styles, October the tenth month of the year is here. Where has the year gone? With only 3 months count-down to Christmas, I find myself reflecting on the year so far and whether I’m in line with where God wants me. I may have put down the goals that I want to achieve and believe can still be achieved, but most of all, what’s more important is to consider whether I am right with God? Am I in righteousness? This is what I think of most.
We can get so caught up in organising events, setting up projects, doing meetings, playing house, and all the wonderful things that women love to do; but in every-thing you’re doing, consider whether you are right with God. Are you in line with His Spirit? Are you saved? That’s the most important thing to get right.
It has never been as apparent as it is now that there is a call on women to rise up and take their places, be relevant in your homes, your jobs, your communities and environment. God needs you to be in position, take part in preparing His peo-ple for the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
My message to you in our October issue of EW Newsletter is:
Who is Head in Your Home?
The past couple of weeks have seen me wake up very early in the mornings to meet with the Holy Spirit. I have seen changes in me since I’ve made a commit-ment in offering the first fruits of my day to God.
If you have a busy home life like I do, trust me, spending some quiet time in pray-er early in the morning when everyone is still asleep is what I describe as ‘sheer bliss’. When I give my first fruits of prayer, praise and worship to God, it puts me in control of my schedule for the rest of the day. Lately, I’ve also added declara-tions (Deuteronomy 28: 1 – 14); declaration shows God that you know your au-thority in Christ and what His Words says you are to Him; furthermore, the more you declare the Word of God in your life, the more you develop a deeper level of confidence and trust in God.

Mentoring for Purpose ProgrammeMentoring for Purpose Programme
One of the highlights of being part of the Empowered Woman Leadership Mentoring for Purpose Programme is that you go away on a weekend residen-tial trip. The weekend residential is a wonderful opportunity to get the women away from their routine life as well as from the normal classroom workshops so that they can learn the skills and techniques of the role of a Christian Mentor. We also look at the prophetic and participate in role play. The weekend programme even though can be relaxing, can also be intense with the understanding of your responsibility as a Christian Mentor. Most often, the women on the programme would have started to have an idea of their purpose and mission and what they are really called to do. I really find this period very encouraging and so happy that the experience is always positive. I have just come back from taking Group 5 on the residential weekend and as usual it was an eye opener for me.
This is how some of the women summarised the last weekend retreat: “The residential retreat gave me an insight of the role of a mentor and the fact that I have a certain responsibility of those that I mentor. Also realising that listening is an important skills I must develop as a mentor. Listening enables me discern how to help my mentee”. “At the residential retreat, I understood that trust is an important aspect of my role as a mentor, I must win the trust of those I mentor; furthermore I realised that I need to work on my trust in God because that is where I’m able to reach out to others.”. “Understanding boundaries protects the mentee and the mentor; both parties will appreciate and respect the roles and not to violate it, To register for the next programme starting in the New Year , please register here EWMPP
THE AUTHOR & SPEAKERTHE AUTHOR & SPEAKER Every month I look forward to presenting a
woman who in spite of the challenges she’s
faced, has stepped out to fulfil her purpose.
This woman is no exception.
Nkem Amagbo known as “QueenKay” caught
my heart with her infectious larger than life
personality. Like every young woman who
falls in love with a wonderful man and the
promise of a happily ever after story, unfor-
tunately life took a turn for her when cancer
snatched her husband away from her, leaving
her to raise 2 beautiful boys.
QueenKay, a mother, author and inspiration-
al speaker reminds me of the story of the
Widow’s Jar of Oil and her tenacity and forti-
tude to turn things around successful when
she could have easily given up, makes her the
extraordinary woman that she is today.
Queenkay is a woman who has stepped out!
Who is Queenkay?
Queenkay is an ordinary young woman who has been through extra-ordinary hardships in life but has refused
to be a victim. I see a woman who is writing her future triumphs today and helping others build up themselves
along the way
What inspired you to write your book – The Reconstruction & Transformation of QueenKay?
The number one reason was my late husband’s life and death. Leaving me was like the earth figuratively being moved from under me. The vacuum was so huge, the ditch so deep. As I wrote, I felt as though I was crawling out of quick sand. Being alive and well today is truly a blessing.
It is said that the only thing constant in life is change. How has the change in your life reflected the way you see life now?
Change threw me off my course. I truly was content being a wife and mother. I had no desire to change. I was immensely content. But I have been forced to evolve, to grow from the pain, to realize that nothing is perma-nent. To live in the moment and appreciate everything and everyone

There are women out there who have experienced a bereavement and have allowed it take over their own lives, what advice would you give them?
It's painful, it's sad, it's a wound that seems impossi-ble to heal. I get it, I have lived it and I am still living it. I can relate to their pain. Take it one moment at a time. I believe that if God let it happen, he must have a better design for my life. I live now with the con-stant flow of God's love and assurance because I let it in. I can't change what happened, but I can choose to live life positively and make healthy choices for myself.
If you were given the chance to start all over again, what would you do differently?
The only thing I would change is cherishing the pre-cious moments with loved ones more and fighting less because tomorrow is not promised.
What new projects do we hope to see from QueenKay?
So many projects, I have co-written two books since publishing my book. The 2nd book was written with 23 other female authors.
It is entitled, "The Unstoppable Woman's Guide to Emo-tional Well-being" A guide book to help women who truly want to be unstoppable look past the emotional obstacles and rise to the challenges life throws at them. The most recent collaborative book project is titled, "Success Guide for The Successful Entrepreneur" a book that helps new business owners and entrepreneurs to excel in business.
What keeps you grounded?
My Children keep me grounded. They are so much a part of my daily existence. Just knowing that I have these two little boys counting on me and relying on me makes me be more responsible and focused. Also knowing that they grow so fast and I have only a little time to nurture them and prepare them for a bright future keeps me grounded.

raise and mentor pioneers to succeed in life. For a list of all programmes on
What does it mean to be carried by God’s grace? To
me it means being able to know that on your own,
you can’t do it, to relinquish all human power and
ability to the most high when you know that no hu-
man being can save you from the depths of despair
you find yourself. How do you walk by faith? I sup-
pose faith can be defined as believing what you can-
not see, but knowing it will come to pass and work-
ing towards it. If God is carrying you and your eyes
are closed and you are trusting Him that when you
open your eyes, He will lead you to an even better
destination than you could have ever imagined.
When do you know to give it all up and let God di-
rect your path? For most people, it is when they hit
rock bottom. For me my rock bottom came in No-
vember 2007. I lost the love of my life and father of
my children to cancer. Ever held someone in your
arms as they took their last breath? Ever see them
take their final breath? Ever feel the presence of your loved one depart from this earth, never to be seen again? I
guess I am in a unique club but it is one that I would never have signed up for. Losing my husband was the most
painful experience I had ever been part of. When I analyze that singular moment, I sincerely know that God is
truly the end all and be all for me. I know that we are more than flesh and blood that we have a spirit craving to
be fed and nurtured. I know that when my time is up, I will not have any regrets and I will love deeply and pas-
sionately as long as I am alive.
I made a decision that day. I was not going to live like a zombie. I was going to live for my boys and to inspire
them, to empower them and to make sure that they didn’t go through life feeling like victims. I never thought for
a second that what I was speaking into my being was impossible. I simply believed. There were things that hap-
pened following that day that were simply beyond my scope or grasp. I definitely know what God’s grace feels
like. I didn’t earn it, I didn’t dial it in, I didn’t deserve all I got, but I got help and support even from the most un-
likely sources.
I had to have taken a daily doze of faith from somewhere. I had to believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that my
boys and I would make it. When I look at my life today, I am amazed at how much God has blessed me. If I hadn’t
lost my husband, I couldn’t have penned my first book. I couldn’t have met and inspired all these people in so
many far places even on social networks. Continued on page 8

In a way, it is a huge sacrifice and I wouldn’t call what I am experiencing now a reward but unlimited and unquan-
tifiable blessings. Every day, I tap into that faith that has led me thus far and will lead me even further.
Where are you now? What are you doing? Have you read so many books to help you, gone to countless seminars
that haven’t changed your situation? Have you prayed and prayed and prayed and nothing happened? Don’t give
up now. Just believe and work every day as though you are already living in purpose. Ask God to open your eyes
to count the blessings that you receive daily, even the minutest of them. Ask him for a daily doze of faith. All you
need is just enough faith to get you through the day.
God bless you immensely,
Queenkay
