For The Fruit Of The womb

                                                 

                                      

   Isaiah 54 vs 1-7 "Sing, o barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord. Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations, spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; for thou shall break forth on the right and on the left; and thy seeds shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. Fear not; for thou shall not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded; for thou shall not be put to shame;for thou shall forget the shame of thy youth, and shall not remember the reproach of thy widowhood anymore. For thy maker is thine husband; The LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy one of Israel, the God of the whole earth shall he be called. For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith God. For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee" (KJV).

 From the above scripture,it is clear that God was saying that the barren shall soon laugh. Barrenness is a reproach, (Luke 1 vs 7, 24&25). And from the acts of God we know him to be a God that rolls away reproach, Joshua 5 vs 9: "And the Lord said unto Joshua, this day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from of you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day". So as many as barrenness has become an issue of reproach in their lives, God who removes reproach shall remove the reproach from their lives in Jesus name

              WHY BARREN?                                     

 

The Bible never really gave any clue on what causes barrenness, though two peculiar cases draws our attention:

                                        CASE 1: JACOB AND RACHEL
 
Genesis 28 vs 31: And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, He opened her womb bur Rachel was barren


               CASE 2: DAVID AND MICHAL, KING SAUL'S DAUGHTER

2 Samuel 6 vs 16: "And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart". vs 20-23, "Then David returned to bless his household. And michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovered himself and David said unto michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel; therefore will i play before the Lord. And i will yet be more base in mine own sight and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall i be had in honor. Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death"


Now Rachel and Michal in the two cases above were barren because the Lord would not allow them have children

                  THE LORD GIVES CHILDREN

Psalm 127 vs 3-5: "Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hands of a mighty man, so are the children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them. They shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies at the gate"

 

Now children are an heritage of the Lord, in other words, children are inheritance of God, which means that it is what He inherits in your family; that is, nothing will the Lord inherit in your family, buildings, businesses, cars, companies, name or other material possessions the Lord will not inherit from your family,only your children. so if you are kind, you will know that you need to give the Lord an inheritance in your family by the children you will give birth to. Isaiah 54 vs 13: And all thy children shall be taught of The Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. Why did the Lord wants to teach your children? It is because they are his heritage. And i pray that no devil but God shall inherit your children in Jesus name. The Lord wants to inherit your children so he can help you take care of them even if you are not around. Isaiah 8 vs 18: Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount zion. So the Lord gives children.

                            THE SOLUTION

The Lord has declared. Deuteronomy 7 vs 14: "Thou shall be blessed above all people; there shall not be male of female barren among you, or among your cattle". So the Lord has commanded that you should not be barren, therefore get ready for harvest of babies.1 Samuel 2 vs 5: "They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that that hath children is waxed feeble".

Also the Lord says in Deuteronomy 28 vs 11: "And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of the cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee"

                        Hannah's Testimony

1 Samuel 1vs1: "Now there was a a certain man of Tamathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, and Ephrathite: And he had two wives, the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children". vs 5, "But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the Lord had shut up her womb. vs6, And her adversary also provoked her sore for to make her fret, because the Lord had shut up he womb". Then from verse 10-20, we read of how Hannah later asked God for a child with a vow to return the same child unto the Lord, and the Lord answered her, and she fulfilled her vow.

                        Rebekah's Testimony

Genesis 25 vs 21: And Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife because she was barren: and Rebekah his wife conceived.


Job acknowledged God as being the one who had given him children--Job 1 vs 18-21. So the question is why is the Lord delaying in given you your own children? Some had attributed barrenness to witchcraft, spiritual attacks, and as a result of all kinds of demonic activities or medical complications and the answer to all these is prayer. The second thing is some has asked God for children, but it seems as if the Lord is not answering them.


The first thing you need to do is to believe on the Lord Jesus to save you, I mean to practically say out loud, 'Lord Jesus, I believe that you are the son of God,save me from my sins. Thank you LORD."
