HOW TO STAY IN LOVE WHILE TRUSTING GOD FOR CHILDREN
-Bimpe Lawal
Getting married with pomp and pageantry is a very good chapter that couples wish it continues but having to wait several years after wedding for the arrival of the first child can be very challenging. Knowing what to do at this time will be of help.
- Believe that the Lord who saved you hears your cry Micah 7:7 “Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation my God will hear me” God has not forgotten anyone, He has ears he can hear, He has emotion; he can be touched with our emotions, he knows what we are passing through from time to time. Never live in doubt God is not a man that he should lie, believe in his word he is able to perform what he has said in his word.
- Watch with expectancy but be prepared for unexpected answers Rom 8:19 ;be expectant, buy children clothings and get prepared to be a good mother, by now start reading books on parenting your baby from the womb. Prepare your womb prophetically to carry the wonderful gift of God which is about to come. Delay is not denial.
- Put your hope in his word:- Psalm 130 :5-6 “ I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope, my soul waitheth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning : I say more than they that watch for the morning”. Because he has done it for one , he can do it for all, especially you.
- Trust in the Lord and not in your own understanding .Prov 3: 5-6. Put your trust in God , never visit any herbalist or fake prophets they will only add to your problem or prolong your waiting days. Be matured in Christ to trust him for the best. Do not follow the suggestion of men. He will surely do it if only you can trust him and hold him by his word.
- Give yourself to the service of God while waiting , sow yourself to the service of God .You can serve God with your money, time, sowing seed, prayer, evangelism, serve in your local church, just don’t be idle. Help people that just deliver a baby in the church or neighborhood, care for the widows and orphans; get busy for the Lord.
