Those who read the God of the Bible from a patriarchal perspective maintain that he is a male - and are not comfortable with reference to him as female. God is a father who  provides, protects and defends... like a mighty man in battle... a strong warrior king who defends his land. Some feminist are  also troubled by such pictures drawn in the Hebrew Bible of a violent, military, exacting and at times cruel God. I look at the  God of the Bible through Isaiah 42:14 from a Womanist lens to enlist a rare description of him as female - a woman in labour. By presenting this minority description as a metaphors, I decentralise violence as a means to wellness and at the same to provide it links to a tendering God. By zeroing in on this biblical image, I aim at providing a fresh theological perception that expands interpretation, by addressing pain in  the face of empire and exile by drawing on Black women's experience in the diaspora to foster the power of a life giving God - Female-Warrior- Deliverer... Showing how this female metaphor 'subvert' and 'interrupts‘ the notion of God as a strong warrior as only male and by so doing, maintaining that the dominant Liberator-Warrior imagery fits with the imagery of God as a Liberator- Warrior-Woman. The text is placed in conversation with postcolonial thought, exile, diaspora and literature from the African cultural context.
