The precepts of barrenness and supernatural childbirth
Only few young unmarried women in the contemporary society understands the weight that comes with barrenness or infertility. Even in ancient biblical times, a barren woman carried a social stigma; considering the case of Sarah whose reproach came came from her own slave maid or Hannah, reproached by her fertile counterpart. Even the ancient Chinese would not allow a barren woman die at home.
Are you married for more than two years without a child and you’re thinking its just you, survey has it that 6.7% of married women between the ages 15-44 in the US are infertile. Although science has it way of explaining this and possible solutions; but how about we check faith approach.
God promise to the barren woman in Old Testament;
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
1 Timothy 2:15.
“It has been proven that to every cloud there is a silver lining”. Also in the Bible, I’ve observed that for every woman that was ever barren, they’ve always given birth to glorious children that writes their own stories in Israel history. Example is Hannah been Samuel’s mother and even the country of Israel came from three barren women; Sarah, Rebecca and Rachel.
Promises for the barren womb for the Bible.
1. Did will open the womb of the barren woman.
And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb
Deuteronomy 7:13
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalms 113:9
2. Pregnant woman will not miscarry.
There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
Exodus 23:26
3. The woman will be saved in childbirth.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
1 Timothy 2:15
4. The child will be blessed.
And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
Judges 13:24
Now this spoke of Samson and it’s obvious that he was a different and promising child.
Children, especially sons, from the ancient times have always been important fruits of a matrimony seeing that they carry the family’s name and legacy. Most barren couples would be joyful to hear the sound of an infant’s laughter within their walls but it usually seem as if infertility has muted this laughter in some homes. However there are glad tidings & wonderful promises from the scriptures saying that the barren will rejoice and give birth. And for more assurance, the word of God is life, God is no man that he’d repent the things he has said.
He said it, you believe, you act on it, you keep believing and you see it happen.
