My Daughter Jaymie and my Niece Jenny are having babies,
this brings me to much rejoicing for many reasons and it also demonstrates
GOD's goodness to us.
As a woman when I was pregnant it was both a blessing and
a cursing for me. But I soon saw the spiritual side to pregnancy and how it
demonstrates our lives in Christ.
The first thing about pregnancy is the trials of it, the
vomiting, tiredness and other difficulties that come along with it, BUT, the
reward is beyond any word or reaction man can use to describe.
I would like to take the analogy of being pregnant to demonstrate the great
commission of Christ. In our christian lives we are either pregnant -bringing
souls into the kingdom or rising -disciplining for Christ. When we are pregnant
there are so many opportunities, and possibilities that GOD uses in-order to
get that soul to know Christ as their Savior. But even with these doors and
opportunities there are those days that are filled up with difficulties and
problems, but like all who have been through pregnancy and child birth will
tell you the end result is worth it all. All those days of sickness, emotional
roller coaster rides as well as hot flashes, cravings and all. Jesus said it
simply all of heaven rejoices when one sinner comes to know Him.
It is the same with going about fulfilling the great
commission. When that child is born all mothers look to their mothers and
father and ask the same question... "Did I do good?" and all parents
respond with the same answers..."You did good" as they gaze upon that
child that is now part of their families. The mother has gone through
difficulties after difficulties, went through hours of labor and produced a
child out of love that will add to the generation of both families, a gift of life and love that will bring joy,
tears and happiness.
This is exactly how GOD the Father will see us as we
stand before Him. And with the same expectation we ask our parents after we had
our children we will ask Him the same... "DID I DO GOOD FATHER?" and
GOD the Father will look upon our christian lives, each difficulty, each
problem and opportunity that we have come across to add to the Kingdom of
Heaven and generations to the souls that know Christ as their Savior. What have
we done with the time laboring in His fields, what did we do with the pain that
we had... did it produce a soul or did it hinder a soul. GOD our Father will
say one of two things... "Well done My GOOD and Faithful Servant, enter
into the reward I have prepared for you." Or "Depart from Me you
worker of inequity for I know you not."
Let's be the good mothers and bring in souls to the
Kingdom, fear no sickness [people hurting, lying, talking, plotting, deceiving
about YOU], fear no pain [broken hearts, body aches, or fiery darts] because
the end result of the pregnancy is MARVELOUS and WONDERFUL a soul into the
Kingdom, another generation of prayer warriors, harvesters, planters, and
ministers to go out and fulfill the great and wonderful commission of Christ.
With this I would like to end with a...special blessing
and prayer [use it for your family,church or how ever GOD places it on your
hearts to do]
As a soon to be Grand-mamma or what the child will really
call me... MOMMA YAGA….
This is my prayer and blessing for my Jonah and Ezra
LORD, we have prayed for these child and You have heard
our petitions of which we have asked from You for them [1 Samuel 1:27] and LORD
we know that You will perfect those things which concerns us over matters that
are beyond our control and You will not forsake the works of Your own hands
because Your mercy endures forever [Psalm 138:8]
LORD you are faithful and will establish and keep all
from evil [2 Thessalonians 3:3], comforting our hearts in love in full
assurance that You are aware of all mysteries and things which we cannot see
[Colossians 2:2], because it is nothing by what we have done nor our
righteousness but according to YOUR mercy on which You have given us abundantly
in Christ [Titus 3:5-6].
Order these children’s steps and let them delight in Your
ways [Psalm 37:23], let their praises of Your wonders and works be from
generation to generation, let them declare Your mighty acts to all they come
into contact with, we will praise You for Your works our marvelous in our sight
and these young men are fearfully and wonderfully made, let them know You that
all will be right in their souls [Psalm 139:14]. Being confident of this very
thing that You have begun, this good work You will provide all their needs
according to Your will and ways and will perform it until that very day when
Christ returns [Philippians 1:6]
These children are our heritage and a blessing from you,
and we are happy of the wonderful gift of life, that now only will add to our
family generations but to the generations of Your kingdom, may they be men of
GOD filled with the Spirit and go out telling others of Your goodness and
mercy, let all who see them know of You and Your goodness and grace [Psalm
127:3-5].
As a mother and grandmother, I can say I have no greater
joy then to know that they will walk in Your truth and light [3 John 1:4]. Help
us to teach them and to guide them in You that they may know Your peace [Isaiah
54:13], let the beauty of You be upon them and establish Your works upon them
that they may work Your good works [Psalm 90:17].
Let them grow in Your grace and knowledge [2 Peter 3:18]
and we lift them up daily asking Your blessings upon them now and as they grow.
In Jesus, name Amen
Until next time.... You pray for me and I'll pray for
you..
