UNDERSTAND GOD’S PURPOSE FOR YOUR CONCEPTION

Text: Gal.4:4

Beloved Daughter in Zion,

Greetings of love in Jesus’ name. Today, we shall be concluding on this series and I want to thank the Lord for the ways He has brought a new light into your life most especially in the discharge of your duties as a mother. Do not let this flavour be quenched, rather, ignite it and make heaven smile and rejoice over you.

So far we have treated four of these divine assignments as a mother, which are: Nurturer, Intercessor, The use of motherhood as a partnering tool with the Holy Ghost and Giving back the child to God. Let us look at the last assignment heaven has placed on you as a mother as pertained in this series; “Understanding God’s purpose for your conception”

As you have learnt, it is your responsibility to know the intent of God for your child, much more, for your conception. Do not just have children because you feel like having them; instead let God stir your heart to have them. There is an allocation of time to the birth of every destiny child. It must not be late, and must not be before time. It must be according to the time of life (Gen.18:10). I tell you this, if your cordiality with God is worthwhile, you will know when to think of giving birth to a child (Remember I told you that this cordiality thing is what you grow into; it is not immediate. All that is required is your progressive commitment).

Look at Zechariah and Elizabeth. By divine agenda, John the Baptist was supposed to be the fruit of their marriage, but according to the time of life. Barrenness is not with evil intentions, particularly when God is responsible (Jas.1:17). It may just be that the time is not ripe for child bearing according to divine calendar. Every one of us has a prophecy to fulfill but the timing is with God. Seek to know when. Prophecy had gone ahead of John the Baptist- Mal.4:5, Isa.40:3, John 1:23- and the place of time of fulfillment was vital (Gal.4:4). Do not base your conception on emotional grounds but on divine purpose.

Furthermore, it is very essential you know that the sex of your child is a product of the purpose of God. I am surprised when I see couples part ways because the child born was a girl when the father actually wanted a male child. Some even go to the point of telling the child she is not wanted. It is not funny to know that this has pervaded Christiandom. It is ridiculous, ain’t? It is a sin to God because by so doing, you are telling Him He knows not what He is doing. Why did Mary the mother of Jesus have to be a female gender? Why was Esther a female? They were females because of the purpose they were to accomplish in the calendar of God. Our father in the Lord- Rev. Olusola Areogun, for example could not have been female, because he could not have been able to accomplish all that the Lord is accomplishing in and through him. He must have a male body in order for God’s purpose for him to be accomplished. The same applies to all of God’s creatures and it will do us good to align with it.

As a responsible mother in Christ, you are supposed to know the gender of your child before you go for ultrasound (Gen.25:23). But how many of us are really waiting on God before conception? There is nothing the Lord does without a purpose behind it. Take purpose out of God’s works, then what you have is blind experimentation. God does His things inline with His plans before the foundations of the world were laid. Just like a football coach that makes substitutions at the right time, God sends us into this world just at the nick of time. I implore you dearly beloved, to embrace this responsibility and disallow the devil from bringing seed of discord into your home over gender issues at conception.

Conclusion

You are relevant in the agenda of God for this dispensation. You could not have come into the world during the times of Esther, Ruth, Mary etc. This is your time, and you must maximize it. Do not trivialize the happens in your life and in your marriage, more importantly in the lives of your kids. Seek to know the plans of God at all times and it shall be well with you. The book of record will someday be opened of you, what is going to be read out of it before the throne of God? You have influence over it now that you still have life. Make the best out of motherhood. The time is now to partner with the Holy Spirit to bring purpose alive. I pray for you from my heart that may the Lord make you a model in this generation and may the name of you never go into extinction in this life as you embrace your God-given assignments as a mother.

May the Lord depend on you.
