Comments And Clarifications On Family Planning  

Thursday January 18th

Text: Genesis 1: 26-30
Key verse: Proverbs 4:2 “For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.”
Comment: My personal conviction is to follow the instruction God told Adam to replenish and fill the earth. I got married in 1972 and continued to give birth until it stopped after nine children. I have never done any form of family planning. Nurses counsel women to do family planning but they complain when there are no children to immunize. I tell them not to complain since they told women to control birth.
Clarification: You got married when knowledge and conviction had not come. In those days, women could trek far distances with fire wood on their heads, often without slippers and with babies on their backs. Their bodies were strong but nowadays they don’t trek that far so do not have the tough body you had. Some may die before they give birth to nine children because their bodies cannot stand it. Knowledge is vital to protect life. Does God say there should be no birth control? No. God told Adam to be fruitful but only three sons of Adam were mentioned; Cain, Abel and Seth. God promised to make Abraham a father of many nations but gave him one child through Sarah. God gave Isaac two children. Let the word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom. If a couple decides to have one child for convenience, they have neither offended God nor broken the law to be fruitful.
Comment: We were told that artificial family planning is sin because God has given you a natural control method in your body to know when you are free and when you are not free and that with the calendar method you will be able to control your family. 
Clarification: In your case you agree that the number can be controlled but the method should be natural while some say we should not control at all and would call you a sinner for controlling the number of children God is sending to the family. Wisdom requires that we control the number of children through suitable methods; both natural and with appropriate contraceptives. 

Thought for the day: No method in family planning is 100% effective.

Song for the day: I have seen the Lord’s goodness, His mercies and compassion …

Bible reading for the day: Exodus 8-10

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
