In this special Mother's Day message titled “The Shining Stars,” Reverend Oma Williams delivers a powerful teaching from Psalm 19 and Philippians 2:12 onwards, calling women to reflect God’s glory in every area of their lives. Just as the heavens declare His glory day and night, women are exhorted to “twinkle” like stars—radiating God’s nature in speech, character, and conduct. Rev. Oma emphasises the importance of knowing and living by the law of the Lord, which is perfect, trustworthy, and radiant, bringing inward beauty and eternal reward.
The message challenges women to “work out their salvation with fear and trembling,” to avoid complaining or arguing, and to remain blameless and pure in a corrupt world—shining like stars in the universe. Women are warned not to imitate worldly celebrities or trends but to follow “the great star Jesus”, remembering their identity as a royal priesthood and holy nation (1 Peter 2:9). Mothers are especially urged to teach and guide their children according to Proverbs 1:8, protecting them from worldly distractions. Rev. Oma concludes by assuring that God has a unique plan for each woman—to give her hope and a future. Though hope may be deferred at times (Proverbs 13:12), her joy will be full, and she will shine like the stars of heaven.
