Daring Promises

 


This is such a controversial topic. In my city there is not a day or place I can drive to without seeing a Fertility clinic along the way. And each one of them is quite busy. 

On the other hand for young couples waiting for a child, it is definitely a frustrating and depressing period. 

And then there is this daring promise in the Bible in which God is making a bold claim in Exodus 23:26 that 

26No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.

If you are going through this situation, I just want to encourage you. The God of the Bible is unwavering in his promise and he can fulfill this promise even today no matter what the circumstances. 

And the previous verses give us the key to unlocking the blessings of this promise  

25“So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.  26No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.

God the father is asking us to trust him, obey him and serve him faithfully. That’s the key to the promise, faith and faithfulness.

The Bible is full of people who have been blessed according to this promise. Read the Bible passages of Hannah praying for Samuel, Elisabeth who was blessed with John the Baptist, Abraham trusting God for Issac, Issac who prayed for his wife Rebecca, the Shunamite woman who was blessed by prophet Elijah, and the list goes on.

Are you ready to claim this promise? Open your Bible, place your hand upon this verse and say I receive the blessing of this promise in Jesus’ name. Now look through the eyes of faith and faithfully serve the Lord. And the Lord will fulfill his promise and give you a child who is fearfully and wonderfully created according to psalm 139. 

When I brought home my baby daughter from the hospital, I read psalm 139 in her hearing and thanked the Lord for the wonderful gift. I pray you have this blessing too. Amen

Guard Your Heart

Image
Dear young man/ young lady,   Did you know that the core of your identity is your heart ❤️.    Your heart is special, so God wants you to guard your heart and keep it pure and holy. Why? Because, When we are careless and give our heart to people who may hurt it, we will end up with a broken heart.  When we allow impure thoughts into our heart, we may end up doing impure actions with bad motives that cause heart break to others. Some times we can hurt someone so bad that their identity itself is broken or ruined. Think about it, today many people your age have girlfriend or boyfriend, they are committed in a relationship. Many think that it is cool. What do you think about that? How does it affect your heart? Often we think that the other person is the love of our life. But what is their purpose of the relationship? Many a time at this age it’s just fantasy or infatuation. Just having a good time talking with them or even depending on them to fulfil your emotional nee...

Joyful Giving

Image
  The Bible teaches us many principles for living as the children of God. I like to call these the Kingdom Principles. One such principle is regarding giving. It may be giving to God, or to others; either as tithes and offerings or as gifts of money, things or time. Why give? God is the source of all our blessings: James 1:17 says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us, “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth”. So, our giving to the LORD acknowledges Him as the source of all our blessings; it shows our gratefulness; and it honors & glorifies Him. Our giving is God’s provision to the Church and to his children in need: Malachi 3:8-10 challenges us, “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say...

Mother’s role in a married child’s life

Image
  On Mother’s Day, we often get wishes and messages relating to young moms. Mothers who have little children or even teens. Seldom do we see messages addressing mothers of grown up married children. So here is a short one for all the older moms, and of course the younger moms can glean a lot of wisdom from this too. When your child is 30 or 40 or even 50 years old, still you are a mother and your influence in their life has a huge impact on them and their family.   When your child gets married, they are entering a new phase and so are you. The Bible says “A man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife”. This applies to both son and daughter. Your son or daughter needs to leave you and cleave to their spouse. This does not mean you are not part of their life. The more you give them the freedom and independence, the more they will honour and cherish you.  And much of the way they relate to you also depends on factors like, how did you treat your parents and ...
