GOD’S VIEW ON CHILDLESSNESS IS NOT THE SAME WITH THE WORLD’S

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

DATE: TUESDAY MARCH 30

TOPIC: GOD’S VIEW ON CHILDLESSNESS IS NOT THE SAME WITH THE WORLD’S 

TEXT: Isaiah 55:8-9 
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

KEY VERSE: Luke 1:6-7 And they were both righteous before God, … blameless. And they had no child because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. 

Not having children is considered a challenge in the world. The person who has many of them might be crying, "I have too many children," while the person who does not have might be crying, "I do not have a child. I need children!” That is the pattern in the world.

 But Christianity is different from the world. If you want to see things in the eye of the world, you will fall. As a Christian family, even though childless, you should remain righteous and godly. Consider Zachariah and Elizabeth and understand their case well. 

In Luke 1:5-7, the Bible shows that they were not wayward people. It was not that Elizabeth committed a sin and did many abortions. No! It was not that Zachariah did a thing that brought a curse on his family. No! They were both righteous before God. 

Does God not fight for the righteous? Could not God have arisen on this matter and fought for them? He fought for them in many other areas, but on this one, He did not bother because it was in His perfect will. He was going to be glorified in this area. 

So, He did not do anything about it. And they were walking in all commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. They had no sin before God. They were not self-righteous but scripturally righteous. They were divinely declared righteous, yet they had no child.  

Not for one year or two or five years, but until both were well stricken in years. Understand the scriptures and think well towards your brother and sister in this condition. Do not make your brethren feel ashamed because they have no children.

Do not give shame to yourself. God will give you glory. You have no child but you will have the glory of God. Jesus was nailed naked on the cross but there has been nobody more glorious than Him.

 Adam and Eve were both naked but they were not ashamed. Why? Because divine glory covered them. Zachariah and Elizabeth had no child, but they lived well among men. You too will live well among men. 

Be righteous. Be holy. Do not blame each other. Do not accuse each other. Do not listen to accusations from outside. Do not bother yourself with the negative reactions of relatives who do not know the Lord. 

Your case is different. God is working all things for your future good; for your eternal good and the glory of His name in your life. Therefore, let both the husband and the wife, remain righteous and peaceful. 

Thought for the day: Value your relationship with Jesus above having a child. 

Song for the day: Take glory Almighty God, take glory Almighty God.

Bible reading for the day: Judges 1-2; 
Luke 7:1-30  #Horemow

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...
For taking your time to study remain blessed. January Saturday 18th TOPIC: HOW TO ATTAIN BIBLE HOLINESS TEXT: Romans 6:20-23 KEY VERSE: Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Besides the essential knowledge of the holy life of a Christian, it is good to understand the manner and process of becoming holy before God. Holiness of life is a life that has overcome sin through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. It is a life that does not commit sin. 1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Getting this experience requires four things: 1. Know that apart from holiness, there is no alternative lifestyle for heaven. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holin...
