TOPIC: CHILDLESSNESS CAN NOT NULLIFY MARRIAGE

     

TEXT: LUKE 1:5-7

KEY VERSE: Matthew 19:6 “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God had joined together, let not man put asunder.”

Many homes and marriages are broken today for several reasons. One of the major reasons is childlessness or barrenness. Marriage is between a man and a woman and there can be no separation on account of childlessness. Barrenness is a possibility in this life and you are not the only one with such a case. The scripture gives an account of precious people in the heart of God who have been barren. 

Up till today, there are still precious people among us that are barren and are in active service of God. So it is a common phenomenon and should not affect the marriage union. Zachariah and Elizabeth his wife had no child until they were both stricken in age and yet they were holy and perfect.

Luke 1:5-8

5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

7 And they had no child because Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.

8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,

Stop blaming each other for your childlessness. Why are you blaming your wife for your childlessness? Is she a child manufacturing industry? Is it in her heart not to have a child? Why are you blaming your husband? Is it in his will not to have a child? This blame game is causing trouble in the home and it is hindering many from going to Heaven. Some husbands refuse to play their conjugal role to their wives and visa, and vice for this singular reason. 

Remember that playing your part in that woman’s life is for God’s sake, for your soul’s sake, and heaven’s sake. Why do you refuse to yield to your husband? You may say “All this while, no benefit has come from it”. Is it only for child-bearing that God gave you to that man? Is it for the sake of children you will satisfy that man? No! Do not allow childlessness or barrenness to affect righteousness and holiness in your Christian life and marriage. 

Thought for the day: God knows the reason for your barrenness

Song for the day: The Joy of the Lord is my strength.

Bible reading for the day: Job 4-6; Acts 7:20-43.
